“Hold the elevator!” Suzy shouted as she ran to it

“Oh hello” Donghae said as he held the door open for her

“Oh, hi” Suzy said with an immediate smile

They both rode it down in silence when Donghae decided to take the opportunity to practice his English skills.

“How are you?” he asked

“I’m good, you?” she said

“I… I’m good also. Where are you going?” he asked

“Oh I have to go to the supermarket, how about you?” she asked

“I’m going to my drama filming” he said

All of a sudden the elevator stopped and the lights went out.

“Aish! I’m going to be late!” he said, annoyed

“Do you like anyone?” she asked

“You really like asking personal questions don’t you?” he said

“Oh sorry” said Suzy

“괜찮아요 (it’s okay) I’m just not used to it I guess” he said

“So do you like someone?” she asked

“Now not really, I used to like this girl but she’s with someone else…” he said “My best friend actually”

“Oh sorry….that must be hard” Suzy said sympathetically

“They’re getting married actually” he said

Donghae has never talked about that ever since that time and he didn’t know why he said all of it to Suzy who he didn’t even know well.
