"So, you fine now?" was the first thing Jongdae asked as he came out from nowhere suddenly, distracting Jaein who was cleaning cups and plates.

 

 

Jaein had three days rest. From school and from work place too. She was doing perfectly okay today. Totally back to her healthy spirit.

 

 

"Oh yeah! Op...paa?" she stuttered scratching her head. Her cheeks turning into tomato red. She wasn't someone that would blush unless she watch SHINee's cute or erted video but now a days, she would blush easily. Only infront of Jongdae. And now even calling him oppa gave her some kind of weird feeling (she didn't want to call him as brother).

 

 

"And that?" jongdae asked again, pointing towards Jaein's left hand which was now fine except only a little scar on it.

 

 

"This is fine too." she replied quickly biting her lips.

 

 

Normally, Jongdae would be the one to blush but he was no more a shy guy. Rather Jaein who was free spirit and wouldn't care of anything except SHINee was now a shy girl infront of Jongdae.

 

 

"Okay then, work hard!" he patted on her head smiling brightlyand exited to his office room leaving blushed Jaein alone.

 

 

Aish he should just put on his mask and sunglass back! Jaein mentally screamed rubbing her red cheeks. Why the hell is he so... So.. ----shutup Jaein! Back to work!

 

 

------------------------------------------

 

 

"Noona!" Jun tapped on the arm of Jaein who was now organizing the cups and plates which she had cleaned before.

 

 

"Oh why?" She answered not bothering to look back.

 

 

"If you are done with that" he pointed the cleaned utensils and chuckled. "Let's go to market!"

 

 

Jaein just blinked.

 

 

"Why?" she asked bluntly. "Workers might outnumber here."

 

 

"No! There are plenty of workers!" Jun protested immediately, smiling. "In fact, Kim barista-nim ordered me to buy some raw coffee beans and some other stuff too." He showed the cheat where there was listed name of stuffs to be bought.

 

 

"He said I can take one of the workers with me!" he added with a wink.

 

 

 

With that Jaein pulled off her apron and followed Jun happily. This might be her chance to spin around the city in excuse of running errand with Jun. She hadn't got time to go out to visit Seoul markets. Last time, her roommate Luna gave her a short tour around the neighborhood and that was all to her till now in the name of Seoul visit.

 

 

----------------------------

 

 

Jaein and Jun were now on Seoul market. It was evening, perfect time for grocery shopping and there were hundreds of people buying and selling goods.

 

 

"Okey! We are done with our shopping!" Jun clapped as he placed the last item that was listed in the cheat. Jaein nodded and checked on the list. And yeah they finished their shopping in less than 1 hour. They had fun in little time roaming around the market, tasting foods, and enjoying buying stuffs.

 

 

"Let's get going then?" Jun said as he took over the plastic bags from Jaein's hand and smiled.

 

 

"I want to roam more!" Jaein pouted to which Jun poked on her pouts and teased finding her cute. "Next time?" Because they had to return to cafe. They were still on their working hours.

 

 

Jaein whinned but followed Jun anyway.

 

 

Jun was smiling like a crazy all the time. Whatever Jaein did, like only a simple pout, simple stare, it was attracting him. He found her everything cute. After all, she was the one he had fell on the first sight.

 

 

Jun lost in his thoughts of how they first met and how awkward the situation was. He smiled once again before he got bumped to a man that brought him to reality. Apologizing to that man, he turned back to see Jaein but she was nowhere to be seen.

 

 

"Noona?' he whispered to himself and immediately ran back to the way he came from. He was so busy with his thoughts that he didn't realize he walked in fast pace and had lost Jaein out of his sight.

 

 

 

"Oh crap!" he cursed to himself and twirled around in the crowd. "! She doesn't even know the way!"

 

 

"And !" he cursed again as he grabbed his pockets to search his phone. "I didn't bring the ing phone!"

 

 

After cursing a few more swears, he searched Jaein everywhere he could. He roamed every place they visited before but unfortunately, she wasn't around. So, he thought of going back to cafe and call her asking where she was and he would get there to pickup. But things didn't go according to him when he reached cafe.

 

 

"But Jaein left her cellphone here!" Linna grumbled as she showed Jaein's hand phone when Jun explained about how he had lost Jaein in the crowd and that he would phone her so that he could go and bring her back.

 

 

Aish I should have just hold her hand! Jun frowned swearing to himself again and strode himself out of the cafe to search Jaein again.

 

 

 

"What did you just say?" Jongdae growled when Linna explained everything that Jun had explained to her.

 

 

"And Jun has gone out again----"

 

 

Even before she could finish her sentence, Jongdae stood abruptly and rushed himself out towards the market.

 

 

 

Jongdae was out of breathing when he arrived to the market amongst hundreds of people. He stopped for a moment to breathe and in another moment he started roaming around the market with his mask and sunglass on. He even went inside restaurants and stalls which only helped him to earn strange looks from people.

 

 

30 minutes passed in flash.

 

 

Aish she should have taken her phone with her! He talked to himself as he prayed Jaein to be fine.

 

 

I am an idol, man! He said to himself again. And I am out here in this crowd to search a girl! Wow that's great!

 

 

And no one even asked me to search! He added.

 

 

 

And he spun around the next 10 minutes and stopped himself in front of a stall which was selling various delicious street foods. He thought of not going inside it as he had already earned weird stares from people but giving it a try might worth.

 

 

He slowly turned his heels inside the stall eyeing the crowd and his gaze stopped when he saw the familiar face slurping noodles.

 

 

There she is.

 

 

Jongdae couldn't help but smile. There he was searching her like a crazy and here she was eating like a crazy not caring of the world.

 

 

Was she even lost?

 

 

He threw a sigh of relief that he found her and she was safe. Texting Jun that he had found Jaein and he could return back to work, he walked to Jaein who was enjoying her food as if she was in some kind of eating broadcasting.

 

 

 

The stall was quite noisy.

 

 

"Aiwoo is that so delicious?" teased Jongdae taking a seat next to her.

 

 

Glancing up from her noodles to see the talking guy, she choked and coughed continuously for a long time.

 

 

"Didn't you get lost?" asked Jongdae finally after she stopped coughing, handing her a piece of tissue.

 

 

Jaein only blinked in surprise.

 

 

Oh yes!

 

 

"Hmm?" he asked again, smiling under his mask finding her dazzled expression cute.

 

 

 

"Aww..uhh yea..h" she stuttered, biting her lower lip. That was embarrassing. She was supposed to be a lost girl and forgetting the fact that she was lost, she had been enjoying foods. But, she didn't mean to enjoy it though. It was just so delicious that she couldn't help but enjoy.

 

 

She immediately stopped chewing and swallowed the remaings quietly staring to Jongdae. She didn't know whether he was looking at her or not because of that sunglass he was wearing.

 

 

 

Aish! I am ruined.

 

 

There formed silence. Jaein, biting her lower lips and stomping her nails on table. Jongdae, silently observing her cuteness under his sunglass.

 

 

 

"So,' Jongdae cleared his throat."Are we staying here the whole night?"

 

 

 

"Uh.." Jaein let out a huge sigh which was filled with tension. The stomping of her nails on table increased.

 

 

"What?" he asked bewildered, feeling her tension in air. "Ain't we leaving?"

 

 

"Uh... That.." Jaein stuttered still biting her lips. "That... I don't have... money... right now to pay!"

 

 

Jongdae smiled again foolishy under his masks. So silly.

 

 

 

And his smile faded the next moment he stood in front the shop's owner when she asked for 20 dollars. He looked at the table where Jaein was staring back to him with a apologetic faint smile, next to her there were piles of bowl crumpled

 

 

She eats more than pigs? She sure has got daebakk appetite.

 

 

 

He paid with a regret face. I should have just called Jun to pick her up.

 

 

 

And to the all way back to cafe, Jongdae kept complaining that Jaein should eat less and be creative more. Seriously, who the hell eats ing 10 bowls of noodles, deokbukki and etc when she doesn't even have money?

 

 

 

Jaein just embarrassingly accepted his every words not speaking back in defense.
