Chapter 3

Back To December

 

You still won't tell me your name?

 

"Ahhh, the weather's nice" Minho sighs happily. He raises his arms up and stretches. Right now he's enjoying the afternoon sight at the Han River. He leans his palms against the grass and stares at the clear, blue sky. It really is nice indeed

"I wonder what you're doing right now, pretty angel" Minho mumbles to himself and closes his eyes. Since last night, he's been thinking about her. The chic girl who is still unknown to him. He thought about her a lot that she eventually appeared in his sleep

"Why do I keep thinking about you? Am I going crazy?" he smiles like an idiot and ruffles his hair. It's unbelievable how one short meeting with her yesterday would be able to make him act like this

"Shall I see you again tonight? Should I?" he chuckles. He himself is not sure too. He lies down on the grass with his arms behind his head. He closes his eyes and breathes the fresh air. I miss you. What should I do? He breathes out. He then slowly opens his eyes and looks at the watch he's wearing. It's 5.30 pm. Minho suddenly smiles widely and quickly sits up. He made up his mind

"Alright, let's see each other tonight!"

***

It's past 8 pm. Minho parks his blue Volkswagon at the side of the huge gate. He makes sure to park a bit far from the gate entrance so that he won't alarm the securities out or get into trouble. He turns off the engine and gets out of the car. He's finally here again. He leans against the car door and puts his hands into his pockets. He stares at the huge house.

He might not know where her room is, or whether or not he'd be able to see a glance of her tonight, but standing outside her house is good enough. At least he could feel that her presence is close to him. It makes him feel more than happy. Happy enough that in the end, he didn't even realize that he's been standing at the same place for almost two hours.

***

Yuri is in her bedroom, busy fluffing her pillow and fixing the bed. She's about to get some sleep. After she's done rearranging, she heads over to the window. She's about to close the white curtains until she sees a figure standing in front of the gate. The Volkswagon car looks so familiar to her. She sharpens her vision to be able to see the person clearly. It can't be? She leaves for the door and heads downstairs.

***

"Hmm, she must be sleeping already" Minho mumbles to himself. He smiles a little and is about to get into the car. But then, something stops him. The huge gate suddenly starts to open slowly by itself from the inside

"Oh no! What should I do?!" he is shocked and he starts to panic when seeing a figure walking towards the gate entrance. It looks like his presence has caused suspicion to the residents of the house. Thinking it might be the security guard, he tries to run to the front of the car but ends up slipping himself onto the ground because of the wet grass

"Aish darn it!" he rubs his hip and tries to ignore the pain. He quickly gets back up and continues to run forward while rubbing his knee. He quickly tries to open the hood of the car

"Hurry up, hurry up! I'm in trouble!!" But due to his panic situation, he clumsily ends up getting a hit on the forehead because of the hood. He accidentally hurts himself, again

"OWW!!" he shouts silently while stomping his feet. He rubs his forehead with his hand aggressively to make the pain disappear, while the other is holding the hood

"What are you doing?" Yuri finally gets to the entrance. Minho is startled and he quickly maintains his composure. He makes sure to keep on a straight face and turns around

"Oh, it's you!" Minho is a bit relieved to know that it was her all along. He might've been in trouble if it was the security guard

"So? What are you doing here?" Yuri crosses her arms and continues to stare at him with a serious expression

"O-Oh... Th-This... Actually..." he stutters while rubbing the back of his neck. He keeps looking around, trying to think of a good explanation. He doesn't want her to know that he's here to see her. Yuri stays silent and raises her eyebrows, waiting for his answer

"Oh! My car broke down! Yeah, that's it!" he chuckles excitedly to her, feeling satisfied that a reasonable idea finally pops up inside his head. He even points to the hood of the car as a proof of his excuse

"And you're... happy about it?" Yuri raises her eyebrow and stares at him weirdly. He's so weird, Yuri thought

".........." Minho just stays silent and looks away. He clears his throat and blinks his eyes. Aish, what's wrong with me? You idiot! Seeing how he is embarrassed and not being able to respond to her, she decides to put that topic aside

"Anyway, how long have you been standing here?" she looks at him curiously. Her arms are still crossed

"Oh, just now. Isn't it funny how it suddenly broke down right in front of your house?? What a coincidence!" he grins nervously to her, hoping that she would believe his words. But of course, his statement only makes her feel even more suspicious of him

"You're the guy who sent me home last night, right?" she asks

"Yeah. It's Minho. I see that you've unwrapped the bandage. Is it all better now?" he smiles while glancing at her hand. He notices that the bandage isn't there anymore

"Yeah, I unwrapped it this morning" Yuri nods. The atmosphere suddenly goes silent for a moment

"Well, that's a relief then" Minho tries to break the silence between them. He doesn't want her to feel awkward around him. But Yuri still keeps quiet and her gaze makes him feel so uneasy. What is she thinking about?

"Why do I have a feeling that you're stalking me?" she suddenly blurts out. She raises her eyebrow once more. Her face looks even more serious than ever. Minho is surprised but he clears his throat, trying to act cool

"What do you mean? Aish seriously, because of this stupid car, it seriously makes people think badly of me. Haha..." he giggles nervously, tyring to escape from her question. Yuri stares at him for a moment, then decides to conclude the conversation

"Well then, I have to get inside now. Good luck with the car" she keeps her straight face on and turns around to walk past the gate

"Wait!" Minho calls out to her. Yuri sighs deeply and turns around to face him once more

"What?" she says coldly to him

"You're still not going to tell me your name?" he asks her. His eyes clearly hope that she would finally tell him her name

"What makes you think you have the right to know my name? Are we close enough?" she blurts out. Minho couldn't say anything. Even though he really hoped that she would tell him, but somehow he already expected that she would say such a thing. He can't help but think that this girl in front of him is too chic and mysterious

"I'll tell the guards not to worry about you. And when the car is fixed, I hope you can leave immediately. We don't want to create trouble now, do we?" Without waiting for his reply, she just turns around and leaves for the entrance. Within a few seconds, the gate slowly starts to close again like before.

 

Minho just sighs heavily. You still won't tell me your name? He takes one last look at the house. He can see from afar that a figure is looking right at him through the window at the second floor. He knows that it's her. She finally closes the curtains and the window goes dark. Although he is a bit sad, but he tries to stay positive and patient. You are so honest and mysterious, you know that? But I just can't stay away from you. Somehow, seeing your chic personality makes you look even more attractive in my eyes. Minho chuckles. Sleep tight, pretty angel...
