Calm. Yes, calm. I needed to calm myself.  

This girl sitting beside me made me feel every intricate feeling which is very far from calm.  I am now fully aware that I have this budding not-so romantic feelings towards Krystal.  Just the sight of her makes me feel very uncomfortable-- it makes my heart beat faster than it would at the sight of anyone else, even Yoona.  The whole journey was silent, it was only when we neared the mall that she decided to speak up.

"Are you gonna park the car first or are you gonna drop me off at the entrance before finding a parking space?" She asked, her expression not changing --unreadable.

"I think the latter would do." I responded calmly.  

SILENCE.

It seemed like she was thinking of something so deep because the way her features were as it was showed that she was focused on thinking.  After a few minutes, she lifted her head up and faced me.

"Find a parking space first." She said, then turned to face the road ahead.

"Uhm.. okay." I replied.  I found it funny because I thought she was maybe thinking of something in relation with her modelling career or perhaps her life savings or something else, but no.. she was contemplating on whether to make me drop her off first or the other.

We went from one store to another.  Luckily, there were some apparel which I found pretty nice, so the whole shopping experience with Krystal wasn't all that boring since I am also quite a shopaholic. She wasn't really noticed by the public since she had glasses on, not the pair of sunglasses she wore.  This one had transparent lenses, but the frame was similar to that of a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses.

"Let's have coffee afterwards.........and mango cheesecake." She said while we were at a vans shoe store, checking out some pairs of authentics. 

"Uhm sure.. where?"

"Starbucks!" She exclaimed happily.  I couldn't help but to smile seeing her smiling like a kid.  I nodded my head in response, and quickly looked away. 

I was busy scanning through the display when Krystal came to me holding up a pair of electric blue colored pair of shoes.

"Am! Let's buy this!" She said, smiling.. Very beautiful

"Sure." I smiled back. She called for the attention of the sales lady, and we gave our sizes to her.

"It fits me perfectly!" Krystal looked happy.  She looked over at me, and saw that I have tried on the pair of shoes.  

The sales lady couldn't help but to smile at the both of us.

"So, how is it?" Krystal came over and asked, looking down at both of our shoes. 

I was looking at her.

"Beautiful."  I said, still staring at her.  Just then, she looked up-----AWKWARD. We were looking at each other.

*ehem*

I looked away. 

"Sir, if you want, I'll take a picture of you both." The saleslady spoke.

"Uhm... sure..?" I looked over at Krystal for her approval, and she nodded.

I handed my phone over to the saleslady. 

"Okay, one.. two..." 

I froze on the spot when Krystal suddenly threw her left arm around me.

"...three.. smile!" The saleslady spoke.

*click*

"perfect." She said, handing over my phone. We put the pairs of shoes back to their boxes, and the sales lady took them.

"You're a cute couple." She said, before heading to the counter. That made Krystal and I silent. 

Without saying another word, Krystal followed the saleslady to the counter.  She didn't allow me to pay, and made me wait outside the store to make sure that I don't sneak up on her and pay first.  

"Hey." She handed me the shopping bag with my pair of shoes in it. 

"Thanks." I smiled.

"It's for accompanying me today, thank you." She smiled at me.

My smiled faded, and hers did too as soon as she saw my expression change.

"What?" She asked, looking curious.

"Would you like to watch a movie?" I asked.
