Baek A Yeon - A lot Like Love

"Worried"

Kai stops from dancing, he keeps on panting then glances at Hana who is already sleeping. He grabs his towel then crouches in front of her. She waves his hand in front of her. “Hey, oldie. Did you just fall asleep on me?”

He stares blankly at her for a few more minutes until he jolts in surprise when Hana flutters her eyes open, meeting his. Kai quickly stands up and turns around in surprise.

Her eyes widens when she lays her eyes at the time. “O-Oh my goodness, Kai!” she scrambles then grabs her bag. “Why you didn’t wake me up?”

He walks it then hangs his school blazer over his right shoulder, finding his friends and when he did, he playfully blocks the monitor. “What the heck?” they yelled then Kai laughed heartily.

“What are you doing here? Your girlfriend’s at work now?” they exchange looks, obviously teasingly him.

“She is my ‘girl’ friend, but it’s not what you think.” He’s smiling when he said that but he felt like it’s not what his heart wanted to say.

They shrug their shoulders, obviously not believing to what he just answered. “Why are you here? I bet she told you ‘Go rest and no more computer games.’” Mike made his voice small like a girl imitating Hana.
