Chapter Forty One

You still don’t know where L will bring you today. That’s why you don’t know what you are going to wear today. “Dress?” you placed a pastel yellow in front of you while looking your reflection at the mirror. “Sweatshirt?” then placed a striped-sweat shirt. “Aish,”

You ended up wearing the pastel yellow dress and placed a pink headband on your brown colored hair. You traced your fingertip along the lip gloss Mi Hye got you. “Peach?” you swabbed the peach flavoured along your cherry lips and smiled.

The doorbell rang making you jump in surprise. You fixed your hair once more in front of the mirror and hurriedly ran towards the door. “Why are you here so early…?” when you opened the door you didn’t see him. “Hmm?” you saw a card at the floor and picked it up.

You sheepishly smiled and showed him the gifts he gave you. “Thanks for these. I like it.”

He walked towards you and gave you a light kiss in your forehead. “You’re less idiot now.” He actually wanted that one to be a compliment for you but you accepted that as an insult. He slipped the helmet in your head and led you to his motorcycle.
