Chapter 19

- Mr. Eye Smile - 

    GOT7 had to leave first since they had to go back to practice.

    “Hey, Eve.” Kirimi called her friend.

    “What?” Eunbi answered as she walked out from the back of the shop. Her shift was over.

    “Are you close with that guy?” Kirimi said while she was looking at the one behind her.

    Eunbi raised her eye brow then turned around to look back to find that it was Jaeson.

    “Eunbi-ah. Are you going anywhere wit your friends tonight?” He asked.

    “Yeah, I want to show them Korean night street food.” Eunbi answered.

    “Ahh~” Jaeson nodded.

    “Do you wanna come along?”

    “No, no, it’s okay.” Jaeson shook his heads and his both hands.

    “You should go spend time with your friends. It’s okay.”

    “Are you sure?” Eunbi asked again to make sure.

    “Yeah, See you later then.”

    “Bye. See you.”

    Eunbi walked out of the shop before Jaeson.

    “Hey, Eve. That guy, he likes you. You know that, right?” Jane said to Eunbi.

    “What are you talking about?”

    “I know he does. He asked who they were and he was looking at you and at us the whole time!” Jane insisted on her thought.

    “I agree with that. He sure likes you, Eve.” 

    “You guys are talking nonsense. We are just co-worker…”

    “That is what you think, but it is not what he thinks!”

    “Yeah! Just listen to your friends!”

    “Alright~ I’ll consider what you told me.”

    “You have to or it will ruin your relationships with JB!” Yirimi said it out loud, the people near them turned their heads to look at her.

    “Yah!” 

    Eunbi looked around and then spoke to her friend.

    “Kirimi-san*~ Don’t speak that loud.”

    (*San = Japanese word;has the same meaning as ssi)

    “Sorry~”

    “And what are you talking about? Me and him? Relationships my . We do not have that kind of relationship.”

    “You might be in a relationship with him in the future. You’ll never know!” Jane supported.

    “Yeah He likes you, Eve.”

    Eunbi sighed. “What did those guys put in your brain?”

    “The truth~”

    “Things that you did not tell us.”

    “You should have told us all.”

    “Whatever. I don’t want to talk about this.”

    “But we want to!” Kirimi and Jane said it together.

    “Fine. But first, we shall find a shop to sit down and talk.” Eunbi gave up.

    “Should we start talking about Mr. Eye Smile now?”  Kirimi said after they ordered the food.

    “Mr. Eye Smile?” Jane asked as she was curious.

    “From now on we should call ‘JB’, Mr. Eye Smile.” Kirimi whispered.

    “Ahhh~ Because his eyes when he smiles~” Jane said as she got it.

    “What do you guys want to know?” Eunbi said out of annoyance.

    “Do you like him?” Jane shoot the question uprightly. 

    Eunbi choke on water after she heard that straightforward question.

    “I do not. I don’t like him that way.” Eunbi tried to answer.

    “You don’t like him? Really?” - Kirimi

    “No. Why do you think that I like him?”

    “Well, you seem to like him.”

    “I do not. We are friends. What is it with everybody?”

    “Why? What happened?” Kirimi leaned forward. She was very curious.

    “His former manager asked me if I like him and the members act as if I like him and he…” Eunbi stopped halfway raising her friends’ curiosity.

    “What?” - Kirimi

    “He… what?” - Jane

    “Do you mean Mr. Eye Smile?” - Kirimi

    “He did what?” - Jane

    “He… nothing…” Enbi turned her head away then she turned back to see that her friends looked at her with doubt-eyed.

    Eunbi sighed. “Okay... Your so called ‘Mr. Eye Smile’ acted as if he likes me or something…” Her voice trailed off.

    “Oh My God! I told you that he likes you.” 

    Eunbi rolled her eyes then the food was served.

    “Just believe me, Eve. He is interested in you.”

    “He does not.”

    “He does.”

    “He does not.”

    “How do you know that he doesn’t like you?”

    “How do you know that he likes me?”

    “You… stubborn.”

    The three continued to argue about this.
