“In so many places you can work in, how come you chose to work in a convenient store that is so secluded and out of the nowhere?”

Yoona shrugged while the chocolate mint ice cream she had on hand while they strolled down the quiet street leading to her house.

“I was never really into big crowds.” she shrugged.

He nodded while his own chocolate ice cream. There was usually this silence that falls between them, it was nothing awkward but more of a comfortable one. It has been a routine for them that he goes to wait for her at ten o’clock at night which was the end of her shift to drive her home. She kept on insisting against it before when he suggested it but he managed to convince her in the end, for her own safety.

Smile to hide the pain of being completely denied due to his unresponsive state to get back to her and answer her. Im Yoona could only smile that she finally got the persistent aching that has been bothering her chest begging to be voiced out to the man that was walking alongside her.
