SolitaireA week had passed since the encounter with Hakyeon and his friend, balancing both work and my countless assignments I was busier than ever. So I let this incident pass and went back to admiring Hakyeon from the sidelines again .
" Ahh Hakyeon oppa is so cool " the girl who sat before me said sighing.
I frowned, girl no one touches the Cha but me.
" So desperate " Minah remarked as she set her oversized luxury bag down, pfft only I know how much more she has to pay to officially 'own' that bag. But then her words reminded me of what he had written on the tissue and I coughed.
" You okay? "
I nodded giving a tight smile, she chuckled " I know your future husband is gonna perform but you don't have to be so nervous " she whispered.
I looked up at her in surprise " Who said that I was nervous? " I retorted
" Why are your hands shaking? ".
I looked down to see that indeed my hands were shaking and frowned " You got me this time Bang ".
She laughed " The stadium sure is packed today and its all for this dumb talent show ".
" Yah! " I protested, talent shows weren't dumb, in fact some people got by only with talent, like Hakyeon and I. " Oops sorry Kyunggie ".
I shifted my attention back to the stadium and saw the dean address the crowd saying that the competition was officially declared open. The initial performances were a bore, some students sang, some did magic tricks (really?) and some even went on stage and solved the Rubik's cube in under 5 minutes, impressive yes but I had only one performance in mind.
I knew for a fact that Hakyeon always performed towards the end, as always save the best for the last, smart policy dean. Just 2 more performances and his turn would come. Just then I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out and looked at who could be calling at such a crucial time. Lee Hongbin.
" Yobosaeyo? "
" Song Eunkyung where in the world are you? " he boomed at the other end.
" Um..college? "
" You are supposed to be at work "
" But sir its my day off-"
" Eunkyung you better come to work or I'll reduce your paycheck to half, would you like that?" He asked in a sarcastic tone. I almost cried on the spot on hearing that.
I sighed " I'll be there sir ", with a faint grunt Hongbin placed the phone down.
I stared at the phone disappointed, I then felt Minah nudge my shoulder. I turned to look at her, on seeing my face her expression turned grim " Kyunggie what's wrong? ".
I let out an exasperated sigh " Hongbin wants me at the cafe ".
She gasped " What an !! ". I frowned and proceeded to get up, she then held me back.
" Wait, I'll go ".
My eyes grew wide " Are you crazy? " I yelled.
" Look boss is a little less hard on me so it okay, and besides..." She gave a closed smile " I know how much you wanted to see his performance" .
I smiled at her gratefully " I owe you " I stated.
She rolled her eyes " You sure
