It was just an ordinary day for me. Like days before, I sat on one of the table on the park to study between my classes’ break. The sun was friendly today and didn’t shine so bright. So many students chose to study outside. Friends were around me. They were JunHyung, HyunSeung, Yoseob and Kikwang. As usual, we just gathered to talk and joke. And for me, the good thing that I had Kikwang with me was I could have him to motivate me for studying. He was my junior and I determined to give him good example.

“Annyeong.”

I heard a voice of a girl greeted us. It was a familiar voice and I was sure that JunHyung would have a big smile plastered on his face. I looked up to see the girl who just came.

She was a petite skinny girl with light and long dark-brown hair. Her face was round as well as her eyes. She was cute. Even though, AeGi was probably a little bit taller and sweeter than her. But why did I compare AeGi with this girl?

“Hy, Hara.” I greeted her casually.

She was Goo HaRa, JunHyung’s girlfriend. HaRa was one of the Music Department students, just like JunHyung and HyunSeung. But I had known her far before I knew JunHyung and HyunSeung. HaRa was also my junior since I was at the elementary school and middle school.

“Hello, oppa.” She replied me as she came toward JunHyung.

JunHyung already put a small cloth for her to sit. I clicked my tongue to see it.

“Ya.” I called JunHyung. “Why do you need to put a blanket for her? She is never afraid with dirt.”

HaRa darted me her sharp glare from her narrowed round eyes. Her lips were slightly pouted. So I knew that she was ready to shoot me with her blunt words. But then, I saw JunHyung nudged her and made her turned her face to him.

“You don’t need say anything to him. He never has a girlfriend. So, don’t need to argue with him.”

HaRa smiled as she agreed with her boyfriend. “True. DooJoon oppa never has a girlfriend before. So he doesn’t know how to treat girls.”

I wanted to protest. But I stopped as I caught something from HyunSeung. I looked at him and saw him with his jaw dropped and eyes that almost popped up as he saw something coming from my left side. Yoseob who sat between HyunSeung and JunHyung also straightened his body and said, “Hoh?!”

Out of my curiosity, I looked around and I saw her.

Shin AeGi…

And she was coming to our direction. Somehow, I felt something tingling on my chest as she came closer.

She stopped right beside me and gave me a slight smile before she looked at my friends and greeted them.

“Annyeong haseyo.” AeGi greeted my friends with a slight bow.

I heard someone quickly stood up from my right side. I turned my gaze and saw HyunSeung already stood up. He straightened his t-shirt and bowed politely.

“Annyeong haseyo.” HyunSeung replied her clumsily. “I’m Jang HyunSeung from Music Department.”

He seemed very awkward. I looked at AeGi to see her reaction. AeGi smiled. Actually, I was sure that she wanted to chuckle to see HyunSeung’s nervous and weird attitude. But she was kind enough to hold back her laughter and just smiled.

“Ah, noona.” Yoseob said as KiKwang pulled HyunSeung back to sit. “Why are you here?”

I guessed Yoseob had said the question that, probably not only me, wanted to ask. But to hear his casual words, I couldn’t help but to shoot him a sharp glare. He called AeGi with noona instead of sunbae. Then I realized that Yoseob was taking Art Department too.

“Ah… that’s…”

I looked at AeGi and surprised to see that she was looking at me too. My heart skipped as I saw her eyes looking at me.

“Ehmmm…” She seemed to hesitate; or rather I said that she seemed to shy to say what she wanted to say. “Yoon DooJoon-ssi.”

Another heart skipped as I heard she mentioned my name. I thought she had forgotten my name.

“Can we… hum… talk for a moment?”

She seemed to be shy to ask what she just asked because I noticed slight blush on her cheeks. I fought an urge to smile like a crazy when I heard her question.

I lowered my gaze and looked at my friends. HyunSeung seemed to surprise as he found out that I knew someone that he had admired. KiKwang and Yoseob seemed to clueless that I knew AeGi. HaRa looked amazed.

"Uah, oppa. You know AeGi unnie?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Ah, she's Shin AeGi?" JunHyung asked his girlfriend.

Ah, that guy was really hopeless. But I saw HaRa nodded happily. Somehow, I got a feeling that I should have left right now. At least, before my friends asked something that would make me embarrassed. I closed my book and grabbed my bag then stood up as I slung my bag on my shoulder.

"Let's talk somewhere else." I told AeGi and she seemed to be agreed.

AeGi looked back to my friends. "See you." She looked at Yoseob. "See you later, Yoseob-ie."

I cast a death glare at Yoseob a moment before I turned and walked away with AeGi. AeGi called him Yoseob-ie and it made me envy.

Okay, not envy. I'm jealous at Yoseob.

"Do you close with Yoseob?"

AeGi turned to see me and thought for a while. "I guess so." She sounded unsure. "I'm his tutor for drawing class."

I stopped and said, "Oh," as I felt understood. "And you know HaRa?"

"I met her when I helped with the Music Department’s project." She replied me naively.

I smiled to hear her honest replies. "So, what do you want to talk with me about?"

AeGi stopped a step ahead of me and turned. "Emmm..." She lowered her gaze and took her sling bag. She opened the bag and took out a ticket. She offered the ticket to me. "It's for you."

I received the ticket. It was a ticket for an art exhibition premiere that would be held this weekend. I looked at her, wanting to ask why she gave me the ticket.

"I..." AeGi seemed wanted to explain. "You remember the sketch that you saw before, don't you?"

I nodded as I remembered the sketch of me sitting under the tree. How could I forget that picture that she drew about me?

"I...a... I submitted the picture for the Drawing Competition."

She stopped and looked at me, as if she wanted to know my reaction with the decision of what picture that she used for competition's entry. But I didn't know what to say. I felt honored.

She continued again. This time, she said carefully. "The picture won the first prize and will be showed on the exhibition this weekend."

And that was when I smiled. I didn't believe it. She won the first prize with the picture of me.

"Congratulation." I congratulated her.

She smiled shyly and said, "Thank you." She paused for a moment. "And I want you to come to the exhibition too."

I tried my best to hold the urge for smiling. She didn’t know how happy I was when she gave me the ticket. I was so lost in words. Finally, I frowned as I wondered why she invited me.

“But can I know why you choose to invite me?” I asked her.

She tilted her head, thinking for a reason I supposed. “I guess it’s because the picture is a picture of you and it’s not fair for you if you never know about it.”

And somehow her reason was made sense for me. I smiled slightly and nodded in agreement as I lowered my gaze. But she had made me so happy.

“So, will you come?”

I looked at her again. She seemed anxious to hear my reply. I smiled and said, “Yes, I will come.”

Her sweet smile bloomed again as she heard my reply. “Alright then. I’ll see you there.”

I just nodded. She took a step backward and turned reluctantly, as if she didn’t want to leave. But then, she didn’t walk away. Instead, she turned back at me. She seemed wanted to ask something at me.

“Uhmmm… can I…?”

“Yes?”

“Can I know your phone number?” She asked carefully.

I wanted to reply but she quickly cut me and said her reason.

“It’s not because anything. But I just think that I need to see you again at the exhibition. As a guide, probably?”

I couldn’t help but to chuckle at her naïve confession. I knew that she was cute, but she even cuter when she felt awkward. Even if she didn’t ask, I would glad to give her my phone number. I looked back at her as I took out my phone from my pocket and I stretched my hand toward her.

“Give me your phone.”

She smiled shyly and took her sling bag to get her phone. She gave me her phone and let me entered my number to her phone by my self. I also gave a call to my own phone through her phone so her number listed on my incoming call. Then, I returned the phone to the owner.

“Here.”

“Thank you.” She said with a slight smile on her face. “So… I’ll see you at the exhibition then.”

“Okay.”

She smiled and raised her hand to wave at me as she stepped backward. Then she turned and walked away.

My smile went wider after she left. She had especially invited me to an exhibition and I got her phone number. How could I be happier than this?

Oh, gosh. I thought I would be crazy all day long. And I couldn’t wait till the Exhibition day came. Should I say that I would have a date with AeGi?

Afterwords:

Okay, chapter 9 is up~ and I got confused with the chapter's title. So if you have better title to replace the title, please do tell me...

And hum... yes, AeGi invited DooJoon. Probably you've guessed it already~ Hehehe~ And what else I should say... hum...

Ah, one of my friends at twitter told me that the act on chapter 8 when AeGi hesitated to watch DooJoon from Art Studio window is genuine act~ Well, it's a praise and I should say that I had that experience once. Walking around here and there just to see someone that you had a crush onto. But at the same time, you don't want to make it definitely seen by others. Have you ever had the experience too? XDDD
