Ommo I’m still distracted by SSC’s happy news ahahaha still grinning like an idiot… Also CICL is in the works and I'll update it tomorrow or day after. VIRAL LOVE Chapter 29 : AWAY “Hey, babe.” She stretches groggily, her limbs heavy after a long night of twisting and turning alone in her bed. She blinks her sleep away as Si-jin smiles at her through the screen of her phone. She had blindly pressed on the ‘accept’ button when it had beeped right from underneath her pillow. “Hey.…” She softly greets him with a tired smile, “It’s midnight there, why aren't you sleeping?” “I wanted to say good morning to you first, beautiful.” Her heart melts and her smile grows. “Good morning.” Si-jin is staring like he's unable to take his eyes off of her. “The video…Mo-yeon Ah…. I can’t even begin to describe….. It’s beautiful. I love it. I love you.” She starts to blush. “I love you too.” --- “Hi Choi Ssi, good morning! My regular, please.” Mo-yeon approaches the friendly barista with a small smile. Walking passed the main door to the coffee shop brings back the memory of her crazy first 'meeting' with Si-jin. Well, it's more of a 'crash' than a 'meet' anyway. She forces herself to maintain the smile on her face as her guts twist in longing. “Oh, morning Miss Kang! One iced Americano coming up!” The busy barista quickly turns around to prepare her order. Mo-yeon gets her bills out of her wallet, ready to pay for the coffee. Barista Choi hands her the cold drink with a knowing grin. “No need to pay, Miss Kang.” She blinks. “Neh?” “Yoo Si-jin Ssi came over last week and told me he was leaving for London, right? And then he said,” she starts making quotation mark sign with her fingers, “Please tell my girlfriend when she comes here next Monday morning that all her iced coffees are on me until the day we meet again since I can't bring them to her myself.” Mo-yeon just stares at the grinning barista, speechless. “But…that’s another three months!” She nods happily in reply. “Neh! Ommo, you’re seriously lucky Miss Kang! I wish my boyfriend is that romantic. Well, of course, he has to be as loaded as Yoo Si-jin Ssi first! Oh, he also told you to not dare spill them on some other punks? His words Miss Kang, not mine!” She keeps staring at the giggling barista, slightly open in shock as she grips the iced coffee in her hands tighter. The same kind that she had poured all over him right in this coffee shop when they had first met. ---- “Ji-soo Ah, what to eat for lunch?” “Oh, you’re done mourning for your boyfriend?” “Yaaah….don’t tease me…..” Ji-soo watches her best friend’s sulky face with affection. “Arasso, I won’t tease anymore, you poor thing.” Mo-yeon scrunches her nose in protest and quickly changes the subject. “So where are we going for lunch? I’m hungry ommo…” Ji-soo snickers. “I’m going to have chicken feet for lunch.” “Seriously? Yay! Let’s go!” Ji-soo quickly pulls her back. “Aniyo. That’s me. Your lunch is here already.” Mo-yeon blinks in confusion. “My lunch is here?" Ji-soo starts laughing before she points to the reception area. Mo-yeon starts to frown as she walks to the desk and spots the smartly packaged box in navy blue and white. She opens the box and gasps. It’s a gourmet food delivery service that is trendy right now in urban Seoul, usually preferred by health conscious celebrities and athletes. They deliver specially prepared healthy meals for a pricey monthly fee. What the heck, are they doing a promo or what? Her curious fingers start to open the containers. …Grilled salmon… which looks great….ommo, but salad and green beans? Why is there so much green things in here? There’s a crisp looking card next to the box and she opens it with dread. ‘Welcoming our highly valued client Miss Kang Mo-yeon to Health Rush Inc! We’ll be delivering the yummiest, healthiest meals to you five times per week for lunch from today! We only use the best quality ingredients for our meals. Hope you enjoy your first meal!’ Ji-soo is still giggling while she stands next to Mo-yeon. “That’s what you get when you have an athlete boyfriend, Mo-yeon.” Mo-yeon just groans miserably while she eyes the food. “How come he gets to eat whatever he wants like his stomach is one super massive black hole while I have to eat some grass?!” “Cheer up Mo-yeon Ah! Atleast it’s only for lunch. I’ll tell you what, I’ll grab a sandwich downstairs and we can go have chicken feet together for dinner, okay?” Ji-soo pats her back gently, trying to stop herself from giggling. She knows how much Mo-yeon despises her greens. She has nothing but respect for Si-jin's sneaky ways to take care of her best friend. “You know he only does this because he’s trying to take care of you even when he’s away.” She hates this but she knows Ji-soo is right. Si-jin doesn’t want her to get sick while he’s not there to watch over her. Haish, I guess I'll be eating like a health freak hipster from now on. ---- KMY : Are you ready for your game tonight??? YSJ : So ready. I think I’ll work well together with the team. Especially with Alexis. KMY : You’re going to do great! Everyone will be at my house tonight. We’ll be cheering you on! Best of luck!!! YSJ : Are you wearing my jersey right now? KMY : Of course! YSJ : Send me a picture. KMY : *sends picture* KMY : …Si-jin? Are you still there? YSJ : Sorry, I just spent five minutes staring at that pic. You are just so damn gorgeous babe…. Red looks incredible on you. Wish I can have my 25 good luck kisses right now. I want you here so bad. KMY : Count every one of those kisses that I’m owing you. I promise I’ll pay every single one back when I’m there. YSJ : I love you, you don’t even know how much. --- She watches with wide eyes as Si-jin swiftly passes the ball to Alexis Sanchez, working like a well-oiled machine with the striker for his first match as Arsenal’s new winger. Five more minutes before the end of the first match in front of Arsenal’s home crowd against Manchester United. She is gripping the bag of chips in her hand tightly when Alex passes the ball back to Si-jin and he does a solid twist to avoid a bulky MU defender and sends the ball flying into the opponent’s net. “GOAL!!!!!!!!!” Her chips go flying as Mo-yeon, Myeong-joo, and Ji-soo collectively scream at
