Hyorin had decided to lock herself in her suite after knowing that she stayed in the same hotel building with someone she was very annoyed about the most, what's worse was that he was the son of the hotel owner. Not to mention, he lived across her suite as well. She didn't really believe that it was fate, and actually, she refused to believe in that stupid fate. She peeked from the door's small window to see if he was leaving his suite, but there was no sign of him coming out when she expected him to leave his suite already. She hated coming out when he hadn't left because she had this feeling that he'd be coming out when she came out as well to annoy her. Who knows he was watching?
She sighed as she hugged her stomach with her arms. It was pleading for her to get something to eat for dinner, but she didn't want to take the risk of talking to the annoying tall male again. Even if she had to, she was too lazy to respond him. She'd just looked like a complete idiot in front of him that he'd intimidate her like he always did with his weapons. This time she peeked outside again and mused if she should just leave her suite right now to have something for dinner. After she convinced herself that he wouldn't be around when she left her suite, she quickly grabbed her small handbag—and her favorite long coat—not forgetting her card key to lock her suite.
As soon as she was outside her suite, she locked her suite with her key quickly to prevent the coming of that evil creature. She felt like he was already behind her, waiting for her to turn around, but then when she turned around, he wasn't really there. A sigh escaped her lips.
Slowly, she walked away from her suite hall and stopped short on the way when she heard a door was opened when she wished it was just someone else. She heard the footsteps were going closer to where she was right now. Please, be someone else. After staying quiet in the middle of the way, the person passed by her and revealed that it wasn't Choi Youngdo at all. She heaved a huge, relieved sigh after she saw it wasn't him after all.
She was very insecure when it came about him. She didn't even know why, but it happened automatically to her just as it flew. Whenever he was around, she just wanted to get rid of him in any form of ways. Either with some dramatic arguments, death glares or even just avoiding him by walking away. She'd done that a couple of times for the past days.
Out of her thoughts, she walked toward a lift and entered it slowly before clicking the ground floor button. While waiting for the lift to come for a stop, she put her key card back into her wallet inside her bag to keep it safe before she immediately wore her coat to stay warm on such a cold weather. She decided not to dine in the hotel restaurant because she was worried that Youngdo might be there too without her knowing or realizing.
Walking herself leaving the hotel building, she went to the townsquare where the small cafes and restaurants were located. Her hands were inside her coat pocket as she breathed out heavily due to the weather getting colder. Her eyes searched for a good—better—restaurant for her dinner. "What to eat..." She wondered to herself in mutters while walking pass-by the shops and cafes around her. It wasn't about she didn't like them, she was just confused what to eat because almost all of them has the nice tastes of its own.
While walking down the street, she saw a ramyeon shop nearby which made her stop walking on her way. Should I just eat ramyeon instead? She mused while looking up to the shop banner, scanning it. It's been a while since she ate ramyeons, she used to eat them before moving out to America earlier before.
"What are you standing there for?" A bass voice was heard behind her. It was the voice of Choi Youngdo and she knew that, that was why she wasn't turning around to meet his sharp eyes which she couldn't really handle. "Do you want to dine here, beautiful?"
Beautiful, the word people use to describe her dating back when she was in America but mostly her former special someone─someone she had crush on─during her times schooling there. She was even warm toward guys, she was never as blunt as she is right now. But there was something made her turned out like this, blunt and hateful towards specifical guys.
A sudden touch on her shoulder surprised her and pulled herself back to reality, he was wrapping his arm around her shoulder. She was trying so hard to get rid of his hands, but he kept repeating what he did. "Yah, get away from me!" She said snarling, pushing his shoulders away, almost showing her scowl. "Why are you here? I mean, you're everywhere I go!"
Youngdo held his hands up when he was pushed away, but his playful smirk remained there. "I'm here because I saw you," he paused to clear his throat while slipping his hands into his coat pocket and stared at her eyes. "You know, you shouldn't be walking all alone at night."
"And why does that concern you? I'm used to this since a long time ago, and you need no worry, Choi Youngdo." She didn't seem to share his enthusiasm, speaking reluctantly in response. "You don't know anything about me or my life, stop meddling with it. You're not my father or brother after all."
"Don't you talk more, come on." With his sharp eyes staring into hers, he took her hands and went inside the ramyeon shop without her agreement. "Yah, Choi Youngdo─"
Inside the ramyeon shop, he took her to the most comfortable seat near the corner. He ordered two bowls of ramyeons to the waitress who was taking their orders. Calmly, he rested his back onto the chair and locked his eyes on her as he folded his arms near his chest. She was looking back, firmly. "Seriously, what is going on with you?" She questioned in curiosity and wonders while still looking into his eyes firmly.
"It's a dinner date, don't ruin it, beautiful." He replied tilting his head with smirk signature was still on.
Hyorin muffled a scoff while rolling her eyes. "It's never a dinner date. No way in earth."
Youngdo was incredibly curious even more about her, but it took him some steps to dig into her life story that he was curious about. His eyes were still on her, an amused smile stayed on his lips. Watching her had amuse him a lot more than he thought, not to mention that he was admiring her beauty and how she spoke. He just didn't bluntly show his admiring toward her.
"You look like a creeper." She commented bluntly.
"Do I?" He blinked. "Well then, I'll be a creeper."
Hyorin practically widened her eyes and pursed her lips. "Yah, don't be a creeper. I'll kill you."
"As you wish." He chuckled satisfiedly.
Not long after they talked, a waitress came with a tray of two bowls of ramyeon and dropped them on their table before leaving again. With enthusiasm, Youngdo grabbed the chopsticks and started eating the hot ramyeon. "Enjoy your dinner!"
He ate the ramyeon enthusiastically, carefully, while she was just sitting there and went quiet watching him eating his dinner. Youngdo noticed, "Hey, beautiful girl. Aren't you eating?"
"I can't eat..with you right here. Really." She breathed out, flickering down to her bowl, and then grabbed her own chopsticks.
"Just pretend like I don't exist."
"That should be easy." She smiled as she started eating her ramyeon, focusing herself onto it.
Youngdo stopped his hand from grabbing the ramyeons with his chopsticks and watched how she ate the ramyeons. It made him smile again because he caught himself admiring even the way she ate. "You look funny when you're eating," he spoke lightly before he continued eating his ramyeon.
Hyorin hadn't respond anything yet, she was still busy eating those ramyeon. Youngdo frowned, "Are you that starving? Haven't you eat anything this evening?"
No respond. Youngdo rolled his eyes and breathed out. "Hello, Ms. Lee. Are you deaf?"
After chewing a mouthful ramyeon inside her mouth, she swallowed them and started to talk. "I'm sorry, I thought you're not exist?"
Exactly, he mused, I shouldn't have really made her think I'm not exist. After that, he didn't talk anymore and rather continued eating his bowl of hot ramyeon until he finished it together with her. Sometimes he flickered to her, watching her, but sometimes didn't.
Within 18 minutes, both were able to finish their ramyeon bowls. Youngdo paid for the bills, and both were still not talking until they reached outside. The weather got colder more than earlier. Youngdo decided to took his coat off and wrapped it around her to warm her. "I have my coat. It's alright, use yours."
"I thought I'm not exist. I'm not your fittest company." He smiled, purring playfully, but his voice was almost shaky. He was already shivering, and she noticed this. Slowly, she got his coat off her body and give it back to him. "No, you are exist now. Go use it if you want to be my company."
His eyes flickered down to her hands as his hands lifted to grab the coat and wore it again. They started walking together down the street. "I just realize that you don't bring your bike with you," she spoke softly while still breathing heavily.
"If I bring my bike, you wouldn't even want me to drive you back. So this is much better."
Not long after he spoke, he sneezed which startled her. "Yah, see, you're having a cold now just because you took your coat off your body for a minute."
"It's alright, I'm used to this." He replied, but then sneezing again behind his hands which he used to cover his nose. Hyorin was obviously—but unexpectedly—concerned about him. She quickly placing her hands on his forehead. His temperature was hot. "You stupid liar, let's go back to the hotel."
When they were arrived to the hotel, she brought him to his own suite and laid his body onto the bed before she went looking around. She searched for something like a bowl, but there's nothing than an empty glass. She eventually used the empty glass and fill them with water from the hot water pot next to the bed, and he was just watching.
Approaching the bed where Youngdo was lying down, she sat beside him on the edge of the bed and grabbed her handkerchief from her handbag before she dipped it into the glass of water. Getting it out from the water, she squeezed it dry and placed it on his forehead. "Thanks, I don't know that you'd concern me." Youngdo smiled weakly.
"No need to thank me, I didn't really do this to concern you or any other purpose. I just don't like having a sick company." She said bluntly with a brief flat smile before she grabbed her handbag again. "It's almost late, I think it's better to stay on our own suites from now."
Slowly, she stood up and walked away toward the door to leave the suite and headed to her own suite to rest herself. On the way, she breathed out as she felt her heart was beating so fast back there. She didn't know why, but then she recalled back to what her brother said. Hate can turns into love, could the crap my brother said yesterday is happening to me? She shook her head, refusing to believe that she was crushing on someone this fast. Nope, I'm not crushing on him… I'm not.
