"Dongjun-ah?"

'Ah, Hyerin. What is it?'

"I didn't see you at school the whole week. Nor at work." You pouted.

'That.. I-I was sick..'

"Oh.. Are you better now?"

'I guess..'

"Jinjja?" You asked.

'Hyerin..'

He grew silent.

'I have to talk to you about something..'

"Can't you tell me now?"

'Aniyo.. Tomorrow. At 1. Meet me at the bus stop.'

"Eh?"

*Beep*

"Aish.." You closed your phone and slumped down the couch.

"Well.. I've got nothing better to do tomorrow."

"Where are we going Dongjun-ah?"

"You'll see." He said as you hopped on the bus.

You admired the scenery as you looked outside the window.

After minutes of sitting down you got off a crowded street.

You nudged Dongjun. "Yah, this street. I've seen it on the internet."

"It's pretty famous." He nodded. "Insa-dong."

You stood in awe at the pretty boutiques and antique shops.

"Wah.. This place is great."

"Here." He held out his hand to you.

"H-huh?" You blushed.

"It's pretty crowded. I don't want you to get lost." He pat my head.

"Yaish. I'm not a kid you know." Even though you said that, you reached out and held his hand.

"You want to eat first?" He asked as we walked through the large crowd.

"Yeah!" You beamed.

"Where should we go next?" You checked your watch; 2:24PM.

"Do you like museums?" He asked.

You tapped your chin with your forefinger. "Hmm.. I guess.."

He looked at you and smiled. "Kajja!"

 

Both of you walked inside a museum filled with portraits of people and also of sceneries.

"Wah.. Yeppeuda."

Dongjun looked around. "It's got more stuff than before."

"Hm?" You turned to him. "You've been here before?"

"Nn. When I was 6." He smiled.

Your mouth made an 'o' shape and continued to observe the pictures.

"The person who took this must've liked children a lot huh.." You smiled as you walked along a certain aisle filled with pictures of young kids.

Many faces of children were lined up. It looked like most of it were taken in third world countries.

The other wall was filled with black and white pictures of a wreckage.

"How tragic.." You furrowed your eyebrows.

 

After a little bit more touring, you both decided to head out.

"Ah, that was refreshing." You breathed in and stretched your arms up. "Right Dongjun-ah?"

"Yeah." He smiled at you. "Where'd you like to go next?"

"Hmm.." You were interested in visiting a certain boutique but you were afraid that Dongjun wouldn't find it likable. Especially since it was a girly shop.

But he noticed you staring across the street, specifically at that boutique..

He tugged your hand. "You wanna go over there?"

"A-aniyo!" You shook your head.

He saw through your lie and smiled. "Kajja."

 

"Kyeopta." You held a trinket in your hand.

You continued to look through. In the corner of your eyes, you noticed Dongjun just staring at your every move.

You felt a bit uncomfortable and pitied him at the same time.

*He must be feeling out of place.* You sighed.

In the end, you didn't buy anything and walked towards him.

"Kajja." You smiled.

"You're all done? You didn't even buy anything."

You just shook your head and stepped outside. Looking up at the sky, it was already sunset. "Wah.. Time goes by so fast.."

"Hey. Why are you being so nice to me today?" You raised an eyebrow at him.

"Mwo? I always am, aren't I?" He retorted playfully.

"Well yeah." You blinked. "But there's something different about today." You pouted.

"Really? I don't feel anything different." He shrugged.

"Hmm.."

"Hyerin, I wanna show you s
