Chapter 34 : The Trouble I Cause
Jinho's Story13 October 2016 (Thursday), 7.30 p.m.
Me and Wendy will be hanging out tonight. What surprised me about this is where she wanted me to meet her.
Jinho : It's good to see you again!
Store Owner : It's nice to see you too! I didn't think you were going to come back so soon.
Jinho : Is there a customer inside?
Store Owner : A lady. Are you meeting her?
Jinho : Yes. Can you keep a secret?
Store Owner : Of course! Don't worry.
I went inside the music store. I remember when I was struggling with myself and the store owner helped me out. I still haven't listened to all the albums I bought.
As I looked around, I see Wendy, wearing a denim shirt and blue tight jeans. She was looking through the shelves. I sneaked behind her to say hello.
Jinho : So, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a place like this?
Wendy turned around. She smiled at my American greeting.
Wendy : I'm meeting this guy. He obviously doesn't know the meaning of punctuality.
I smiled as she decided to play along.
Jinho : Maybe it's because he's busy?
Wendy : He's a very busy person, but I'm grateful he can keep his promise.
I was confused. I didn't remember making any promises.
Jinho : What promise?
Wendy smiled as she saw my confused look.
Wendy : He said he would text me the night we met. I'm glad he did.
I couldn't help but smile to myself.
Jinho : It sounds like you miss this guy.
Wendy : It's not everyday I see a guy that would get sick for stray cats.
We laughed. Wendy was certainly different compared to Mina and Dahyun. Maybe it's because she's older.
Jinho : So, what are you looking for?
Wendy : Nothing. I just like to look around for old songs. Rare ones, mostly.
Jinho : Like classic hits?
Wendy : Yes! Any recommendation?
Jinho : I don't think they have it here, but you should listen to Survivor songs.
Wendy was surprised when I recommended her that.
Wendy : 'Burning Heart'?
Jinho : Yes! or 'Eye of the Tiger'.
Wendy : Wah! What else do you know?
Jinho : Have you heard of Dire Straits?
We got excited as we found something we have in common. We ended up talking for a long time. I almost forgot about dinner.
Jinho : Do you wanna get out of here and get something to eat?
Wendy : Sure! Where to?
Jinho : I know a cold noodle place nearby.
Wendy : Okay. Let's go!
At that moment, I smirked to myself. Why did I recommend that? I don't like cold noodle.
13 October 2016 (Thursday), 8.45 p.m.
We were having our meal at the cold noodle restaurant. Wendy finished her bowl. I was barely halfway through.
Wendy : You don't like cold noodles, do you?
Jinho : What? The song?
She laughed at my joke, but was a little annoyed.
Wendy : Ah seriously... If you didn't like this place, we didn't have to go.
I smiled as I see how annoyed she was. It was cute.
Jinho : I usually eat plain food, like rice. I think I'll get used to cold noodles eventually.
Wendy pouted. She can see I was having trouble eating the noodle.
Wendy : Can you finish it?
Jinho : Sure, but by that time, I think our date will be over.
Wendy looked surprised by my reply. She began to act shy.
