The car ride ended up being fine,there must be something about it that keeps everyone's emotions in check.  Both Donghae and I seem to be more comfortable talking in here, haha. We talk some more, avoiding the topic of why he was acting weird earlier, and even started to speak informally to each other as well. Weird huh? Donghae took note of this and jokes,

 "Yah! I'm your oppa, shouldn't you be talking to me with more respect?!"     It's true, I should be, but for some reason, it seems weird to do it now, odd as it sounds.

I just shrug,  "No" I reply, before sticking my tongue out.

He just laughs again and says, "Well, I guess if our friendship is only going to last a day ,we advance at a faster speed"   Oh, right, I forgot about that. Well, I have to say, it was fun while it lasted.

"Yeah, makes sense, I guess we would be as close as friends can get then? It is the end of the day,"

"Mmm... Yeah, haha."

                I smile and stare ahead... I think I'm starting to recognize the area now... Which means we must be close to home soon.

"You know, even though I've only known you for... 2 days? I feel like I can trust you, you probably didn't know, but half the things I told you today, I haven't told anyone else. But I'm glad I told you, I feel so much more open now"  He says, half sighing in relief as he looks forward. I'm not gonna lie, it makes me feel good knowing that he decided to confide in me.

"Well, you're the first person I've ever talked to since I arrived here a week ago. If that means anything to you,"

"Hmm... Yeah, it means something, haha, just don't know for what yet"   He replies, deep in thought. I hope you're thinking of how to get home, or  something  related to driving.

               We finally reach my house. I sort of want to tell him that we should keep in touch, but I'm too embarrassed to say it. It doesn't sound like he’s going to say anything about it either. So I'll just let it be; wouldn't wanna be a bother. I step inside my house and close the door behind me, I hear the car drive away and it probably sounds dramatic, but I sigh. Haha.

                Yejin isn't home, so I decide to take this time to shower. As I'm towel drying my hair, my phone beeps. I guess I missed a few texts while I was in the shower, weird, who would text me here?  It better not be the stupid  ‘roaming texts'  from the phone company, I hate those. Especially because I'm not 'roaming' here anymore. I live here. Idiots.

'Hey Gaheun,
I hope you had fun today, I know I did.
Hopefully we can meet up again sometime if you don't hate me.'

Huh? I guess it's Donghae! I'm not gonna deny anything, but just getting this text makes me smile. But... How did he get my number? And why would I hate him?

I open the second text:

'If you're wondering how I got you're number, 
I took your phone when you went to the bathroom in the restaurant.
I swear I didn't take or look at anything else.
And again, don't hate me please."

 Well, that explains it. Maybe he has a guilty conscience... And that's why he acted weird. Haha, how dumb.

I open the last text:

'Don't worry about the uniform, I left it in the cafe, 
it's in the shopping bag I brought.
I wanna say I'm sorry for tricking you, but I don't regret it. I like you.

Oh, and Henry says "hi"
