Jieun lifted her head, wiping all the tears from her cheeks. She still felt Hanbin’s warm chest on her face and blushed. She was so embarrassed to cry like that in front of him. Jieun turned away immediately when Hanbin looked at her. Her eyes were puffy and her cheeks were still wet and damp.

“Um.. wow my hand felt numb all of sudden.” He let out a dry, awkward laugh. He started to panic when Jieun just remain silent. “Y-yah.” He softly poke her shoulder.

“No, I look horrible right now.”

“No you do-“

“Yes, I am.” She said, breathe in with some mucus stuck in her nose. Hanbin chuckled when she did that as it was so cute for him. “Aigoo, my doctor is so a crybaby, huh?” He mocked, smilling at her. Jieun also began to draw a smile on her face and slowly turned to him and hit him on the arm.

“Ouch! What was that for?!” He rubbed his arm. He exhaled in relief when he saw those familiar smile of hers. Hanbin knew that it was not the right time to actually ask about what just happened. He did not want Jieun to feel more uncomfortable if he forced her to tell him. He was worried but making her happy was his most concern at that time.

“Boys are just stupid.” She blurted out audibly.

“Excuse me, what?” Hanbin’s voice began to sound louder. He sounded pissed when he heard that kind of statement. He felt that if she had a rough time in any relationship, she should have not said that and blaming the boys for their unfortunate affair. Jieun gazed at him in surprise. Oh uh!

“Did you heard that?” She asked and Hanbin crossed his arm on his chest and glaring at her. Just now they were all loveable and sweet and now, they were quarrelling. “Duh ~” He said in annoyance. His eyes were flashing with fire at her. Jieun chuckled because the annoye
