Our lips were barely an inch from one another,until I heard Daehyun's phone ring.
 
We snapped up and he straightened himself to answer the call.
 
"Yeoboseyo?"
 
I took a deep breath and looked away.That was close.
 
"Nae nae,arasso,I'll go over later."
 
He hung up and I was still fiddling with my bag.
 
He was quiet,which meant he was watching me.
 
I didn't want to look at him,why?It was dangerous that's why.
 
His tight shirt,swollen cheek and beautiful eyes were trapping me.
 
"You have my number right?"
 
I nodded,still not looking at him.
 
"Why didn't you call me?"
 
I shrugged,"I've no reason to call you."
 
He chuckled,"Okay,but you have every right to call me,arasso?"
 
I didn't understand so I looked at the grass patch beside me.
 
Daehyun sighed and held my shoulders,"Arasso?"
 
Of course,meeting his gaze was unavoidable and as much as I didn't want to answer,"Nae arasso."
 
I did.
 
He smiled brilliantly and it didn't help my already messed up thoughts.
 
He let me go but I could still feel his eyes on me.
 
Why was he always looking at me?Why was he always making me meet his eyes?
 
"Give me your phone."
 
"Bwoh?"
 
"Your phone,pali."
 
I didn't want to argue or look at him so I handed it to him.
 
"What's your password?"
 
"Why do you want it for?"
 
"I'm asking as a police officer."
 
I gave up,"0629."
 
He typed it in,"What number is that?"
 
"Its my birthday Mr Police Officer."
 
"Ah,"he nodded,"That's a coincidence."
 
My eyes were roaming everywhere but him,"Why is that?"
 
"My birthday is the day before."
 
"Huh?"
 
"0628."
 
I giggled,"You're kidding."
 
"I've no reason to kid."
 
Yeah he was right.I heard his phone ring and he handed my phone back to me.
 
"There,I have your number,speed dial 1 is my number okay?"
 
I checked my phone and sighed.What is he trying to do?I couldn't get in.
 
"You changed my password?"
 
"Try again."
 
I thought about it,0628.
 
It unlocked and this time I really glared at him.
 
He chuckled,"Waegeulae?"
 
I shook my head and changed his contact name from Daehyun to-
 
"Yah,what are you doing?"
 
I quickly typed it in and locked my phone.
 
"Give it to me."
 
"What?"
 
He gestured for my phone.My phone rang and I took it,only for Daehyun to snatch it away.
 
He laughed,"Yah,Mr Police Officer?" He read his contact name from the call.
 
I grumbled and snatched my phone back,"Yeah,problem?"
 
A huge wind blew and he put his arm around my shoulders,wrapping his jacket around me tightly.
 
"I think its going to rain,come on,we'll move indoors."
 
He took me to a small street stall and we sat at a table.
 
I couldn't look at him without feeling guilty,his cheek was red and swollen.
 
He ordered some rice cakes and stuff while I took the chance to watch him.
 
He was really cool,that's for sure,smart-looking,straight and clear-cut type of guy that girls would fall head over heels for.
 
I mean it,even in that little tent,the ajumma and random girls sitting around were giving him eye massages.
 
I don't know if I included myself since I was studying him.
 
He came back to our table and yet again,my eyes would roam everywhere.But him.
 
"Hyemi ah."
 
"Hmm?"
 
"When is Cassie's birthday?"
 
"April 20."
 
He chuckled,"What kind of coincidence is this?"
 
"Wae?"
 
"Himchan's birthday is April 19."
 
"Oh."
 
He was watching me again,I sighed and listened to the leaves rustling.
 
"I wanted to try you know?"
 
"Bwoh?"
 
"Your new cup cakes."
 
"Oh right."
 
"Is it nice?"
 
I scoffed,"Oh it tastes awful that's why I'm selling it."
 
He chuckled and the ajumma served us our food,along with a bottle of soju.
 
He thanked her and she kept talking about how handsome he was and she kept touching his shoulder and asking what happened to his cheek.
 
Of course he answered politely,not mentioning that I was the one that slapped him,but I looked elsewhere.
 
Once she left,I asked him,"Don't you have to work later?"
 
"Yeah,waeyo?"
 
"So you're drinking?"
 
"I didn't order that."
 
"She gave it to you?"
 
"On the house."
 
"Still,don't drink too much okay?"
 
He chuckled,"Yes I know."
 
All the while I didn't look at him and I know it made me seem weird but whatever okay?
 
"Hyemi ah."
 
"Hmm?"
 
"Hyemi."
 
"What?"
 
He held my shoulders from across the table,"Can you look at me when I talk to you?"
 
Well I didn't know what else he wanted,I was already looking right into his eyes.
 
He let go and face palmed himself,"I'm sorry,I need to calm down."
 
I kind of guessed that,so I took my chopsticks and started pinching on the bits of food that he ordered.
 
It was really delicious.
 
I know he was watching me but I don't exactly look gruesome or disgusting when I ate so I just ignored him.
 
He cracked open the bottle of soju and started gulping down cup after cup of it.
 
I stared at him,what was he trying to do?
 
When he reached his tenth cup,I grabbed the bottle away from him,"What are you doing?"
 
"Give the bottle to me."
 
"No,at least let me drink some."
 
He scoffed,"Give it to me now."
 
Obviously,I didn't listen,I drank straight from the bottle,feeling the warm liquid scorch my throat.
 
I finished the whole thing in one shot and Daehyun stared at me.
 
Well I wasn't risking him getting drunk on the job.
 
Before the alcohol sank in,I got up quickly and staggered out of the tent.
 
The cold wind slapped my heated cheeks and I pulled Daehyun's jacket tighter around me.
 
I heard him coming after me,but I was probably imagining it,my thoughts were woozy.
