Chapter 8

87 Steps to Kim Jongdae

 

 

Tomorrow, let’s go to school together. I’ll call you.

 

 

Eunsol couldn’t help but smile as she stared at the tissue paper in her hands. It was her 50th time staring at it. And still, she doesn’t get tired looking at it. Even though it sounded more of a command, to her it was sweet. And she couldn’t help but think of a certain possibility that maybe, just maybe, with the slightest chance possible, Kim Jongdae might just like her even for a little bit.

 

It was because of her friend Jieun. She kept on telling Eunsol that there’s a big chance that Jongdae likes her. First, he agreed to go out with her on a date when they first met. Second is he sat beside her. Third is he did everything just to get her number. Fourth, he even went to the café where she is working. And lastly, he wants to go to school with her tomorrow.

 

Eunsol squealed as she hugged her pillow tight. This Kim Jongdae is seriously adorable. There’s no way she wouldn’t fall for him if he was this endearing.

 

She stared at his handwriting on the tissue paper. Even his handwriting looks good. She thought as she sighed. Is there even anything, just one thing about Kim Jongdae that’s not good?

 

She grabbed her phone and checked the time. It was already 11:45 in the evening. And still, there were no calls from him. Her bottom lip jutted out as she stared at her phone. He said he would call me.

 

Maybe he was just busy? She created an excuse for him in her mind as she stared at her phone waiting for his call.

 

Hours has passed but still, there were no calls from Kim Jongdae. And without Eunsol noticing it, she was already fast asleep.

 

Still there were no calls from him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day, as Eunsol opened the door, she saw a veryyy familiar figure right at her doorstep.

 

Jongdae.

 

He smiled playfully at her like the way he usually does. “Good morning Eunsollie.” He greeted her warmly with a small wave.

 

While she was contempleting whether he was real or not, “How did you find out where I live?” was the first thing that came out from . It was really mind boggling how this guy suddenly pops out of nowhere. Yesterday he went to the place where she’s working. Today he’s right in front of her house. What will he do tomorrow? She wondered with a small smile.

 

This guy is really, unpredictable.

 

Jongdae just shrugged at her. “Let’s go now. I don’t want to be late for school.” he told her as he grabbed her bag and swiftly slung it on his shoulder. Then he started to walk away, gently dragging Eunsol by her arm.

 

“You didn’t call me last night.” Eunsol couldn’t help but say it. She was disappointed that he wasn't able to keep his promise. And she just wanted to know why he wasn’t able to call her. 

 

Jongdae suddenly stopped walking and turned back to her. His was smiling so widely that it seemed as if his lips would be torn apart. “You were waiting for my call?” He asked, his voice sounded happy and excited at the same time.

 

“No. I just remembered that you didn’t call me when you said you would.” Eunsol lied as she looked away. Why does he look so happy when he heard that I was waiting for his call? Again, her hopes about him liking starts to increase just beacuse of his reaction.

 

Jongdae leaned in closer to her while staring at her intently. “Liar. You’re eyes are quite puffy. You must’ve really waited for my call.” He pointed out with a sad smile. “Sorry. I wasn’t able to call you last night.” he mouthed her a silent apology.

 

Eunsol’s cheeks turned pink as he inched towards her. This close, she could clearly see how beautiful his eyes were. And it’s not good for her heart. “We should go now.” She reasoned out as she moved back while trying her best to keep calm.

 

Jongdae chuckled as he ruffled her wavy hair. “But don’t worry. I promise I’ll really call you at the least time you’ll expect me to.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Eunsol-ah, lend your notes.” he said as he quickly stole her notes from her. Eunsol turned to him with a judging stare. “Lend me this okay?” he smiled as he waved her notes right in front of her face.

 

“You already have it.” she mumbled as she eyed him from the corner of her eyes.

 

He just smiled. “I’m just going to copy some notes since I just transferred. I heard that exams are coming so even though I know that I can pass without even trying, I’ll still study.”

 

Eunsol just laughed to herself as she stared at him. “I really wonder where you get all of these thoughts.”

 

He ignored what she said and flipped the pages of her notebook. He wasn’t really reading anything. He was just merely looking at it. “Your handwriting looks cute.” he commented.

 

Eunsol bit her lower lip. It’s the handwriting that’s cute. Not you! She reminded herself.

 

“You had so many lessons! How can I review all of these?” He complained as soon as he realized that he missed a ton for transferring so late.

 

“You said you can pass without studying right?”Eunsol patted his back. “I’m really looking forward to it.” she added as she smiled cheekily at him.

 

Jongdae just wrinkled his nose. If he had known that the lessons were this difficult, he would never really say those. Silently giving up, Jongdae just flipped the pages even though there were no writings on it. He was thinking if he should ask Eunsol to go with him to the cafeteria since he’s already hungry or if he should ask her to study with him. Or both.

 

His attention was diverted at a small note that slipped off her notebook.

 

 

 

“When will I meet you again?”

 

 

 

A smile came to his lips as he read it. He was thinking that it was definitely him. He grabbed the note and turned to her. "Eunsol-ah, I found something really interesting just now.” He told her, his eyes were still fixed on the note.

 

Eunsol slowly got up from her sleep. She wasn’t really able to sleep comfortably last night since she was waiting for his call and now he’s disturbing her when she’s trying to sleep. “What is it?” she sounded a bit irritated. As she turned to him, her once sleepy eyes suddenly widened when she saw the note that she made a few weeks ago in Jongdae’s hands.

 

And now Eunsol was wide awake. She immediately tried to snatch the note but his reflexes were too fast. Damn.

 

“Give it back!”

 

Jongdae stuck his tongue out to irritate her more. “You must’ve really missed me for you to write something like this.” he concluded with a nod as he stared at the note.

 

“What makes you think that it’s for you?” She snapped at him. 

 

“My instincts told me so. Besides, if it’s not for me, then for whom is this?” he challenged her. Other than him, he couldn’t think of anyone else. So it's definitely sure that it's really him.

 

“It’s really not for you.” Eunsol lied. And she prayed in her head countless times that he would believe her eventhough she's not that good in lying.

 

Jongdae just smiled at her. “You really like me don’t you?” he suddenly asked her.

 

She couldn’t help but blush at what he just said. What kind of person would just ask someone something like that? “You must really like me a lot.” he concluded.

 

“Shut up.” she mumbled quietly as she looked away trying to hide her blushing cheeks.

 

Jongdae rested his chin on his palm and stared at her. “It’s okay Eunsollie. You may tell me how much you like me. Don’t be afraid to confess how utterly in love you are with me. It’s really okay.” he smirked as he patted her back rather comfortingly.

 

She lightly swatted his hand away. In no time, she managed to snatch her notebook from him. “I’ll just study than listen to your ramblings.” 

 

“Oh, now that you mentioned studying, Eunsol-ah I’ll be coming at your house this Saturday.” he announced.

 

She looked at him in confusion. “Why are you going to my house?”

 

“Let’s study together for the exam. It’ll be fun.” he told her, the smile never leaving his lips.

 

Eunsol frowned. “I should be asking you to go to our house. It’s not supposed to be you who would just decide to barge in whenever you want.”

 

“It’s decided then. I’ll come by at Saturday. Around 11.” He declared proudly as if he didn’t hear what she just said.

 

“Yah! Kim Jongdae!”

 

He acted as if he was surprised. “Really? You’ll cook for me? Thank you.” he said as he just smiled at her.

 

"Listen to me!"

 

"Oh! Cookies are my favorite. Thank you Eunsollie. I'm reaaaally looking forward to it." His eyes were already dancing with delight. That means he doesn't take 'no' as an answer.

 

Eunsol sighed exasperatedly. It’s no use. He won’t listen to her so she just gave up. And with him looking like that, who would dare to refuse?
