Flowers In Summer, Trouvaille 2
Keep Distance
They had been friends for a semester, and to this day for Anna, this man before her was a fellow foreign student. Just like her, every day she intended to ask about Mark's family, but every time they were together, Anna always forgot about it.
\*\*\*
"Mark, are you sick? Your face is pale."
...
"Mark have you eaten? Why only eat instant noodles? It's not good for your health."
...
"Mark, aren't you cold? Take care of your health."
...
A year ago Mark knew Annasya with all the noisy action. Very often Mark felt uncomfortable with Anna's excessive attention. The words that were ringing in Mark's ear were an example.
The man snorted in frustration, as he gulped down water to replace every drop of his flowing sweat. Mark had just finished running around the fieldtrack, a special area for running sports.
"You why?" ask a man to come up to Mark.
A handsome man with a face similar to Korean oppa, the man is Park Min Ho, Mark's best friend since Junior High and happens to now they are reunited as classmates .
Mark turned his head towards Min Ho, while giving a meaningful look.
"What do you mean Min Ho-aaa" Mark asked inwardly.
"You only run when you think of something. What's up?" min Ho asked as if reading Mark's head.
....
Mark did not answer Min Ho's question, the man chose to throw a far-sighted forward.
"Is it because of him?" min Ho asked as he pointed towards the girl who was running towards them.
Mark's eyes widened, he had not expected to meet the girl here. As if Mark forgot that this fieldtrack is a campus facility.
"Mark?" greet the girl after slowing her pace.
"Hi..." Mark greeted Anna with a wave of his hand.
"Wait for me there." said Anna before returning to running, apparently the girl chose to finish her sport first.
"Because he's Mark?" min Ho asked, restoring Mark's consciousness.
"I just feel guilty for Tania" Mark replied softly.
"You mean little Tania?" Now Min Ho is sitting next to Mark.
"Yes. I feel like an unfaithful boyfriend right now." Mark said.
"When have you been dating Tania?"
"Almost two years."
"You didn't even tell me." Min Ho said irritatedly as he patted Mark on the shoulder.
"What is troubling your mind? Do you feel like you're pounding on that foreign student?" ask Min Ho again.
"I don't know." Mark replied casually.
"You've been very rare with me for the past year. I thought we would spend a lot of time together. But ever since Anna appeared, your world seems to revolve around her. In every corner of campus, if I saw you, Anna would be there." Min Ho started to tell a wide story.
"really right? We look weird, don't we?" ask Mark frustratedly.
"I even had time to guess that you were lovers. I was surprised when you called Tania your boyfriend." - Min Ho once again.
"I have to how?" mark was confused.
"You love Tania?"
"Of course Min Ho, I wouldn't have dated her if I didn't love her."
"What is your relationship?" seduhi Min Ho later.
"What do you mean?" mark asked looking at Min Ha with an extra curious face.
"What about ...." Min Ho moved his hands together, pursed his fingers and made his right hand and left hand touch each other, as if hinting at a kiss.
"Nothing." Mark replied casually.
"What's? You daft? Are you really Mark's man?"
"Tania is a little Min Ho. You want me to ruin a teenage girl?" mark was getting frustrated.
"Sorry." scratched his head that didn't itch.
"You were suggesting keeping your distance, right? Can you help me?" ask Mark.
"How's it?"
"Wait for him here, tell Annasya that I'm leaving because of some sudden business. Be his friend from today." Mark asked solemnly.
"You mean you want to be me as a victim?"
"You're talking about Min Ho, do you think Annasya is a bad person?"
"You even defended him. I'm suspicious of how you feel right now." said Min Ho.
"Don't wonder. Just wait for Annasya here. Trust me, she's a good girl. You'll be a good match for him." Mark recalled Min Ho who was just as noisy as Anna. Maybe 11:12 as soon as Mark makes a comparison between them.
"I'm pulling it out now." Mark patted Min Ho on the shoulder as he left, when he realized Anna was running towards them.
Min Ho simply raised both of his hands as if saying 'whatever' as Mark passed.
\*\*\*
Anna has completed her last round, a few steps, she will arrive at Mark's stopping point and one of her classmates is known as Park Min Ho. The girl began to slow down her steps and regulate her breathing while breathing deeply. Anna regularly does running sports, and she has never met the two figures in this area. Today was the first time Anna had seen Mark and Park Min Ho running, that was the reason she had asked Mark to wait for her earlier. At least they can rest and chat for a moment right?
"Where's Mark?" anna asked as she arrived at the place where Min Ho was resting.
"There's a sudden affair." Min Ho replied casually.
"Oh. Thanks for the info, Mr. Park Min Ho." replied Anna casually.
"Anna.."
"Yes?"
"Speak casually to me. We are also classmates." said Min Ho.
"oh..thank you." replied Anna who was now sitting next to the man.
Silent, the two people seemed to be busy with their respective minds. Looking far ahead.
"Gue said what is this kid? Why did Mark use the escape show anyway? If I go straight home, it seems arrogant, right?" Anna was busy monologuing in her heart.
"Damn Mark. Keep your distance, keep your distance. Why would you involve me like this?" Min Ho protest in heart.
"Your language skills are much better" Min Ho said.
"Oh. That's it, thank you Mr. Park."
"You? Aren't you listening to me? I've asked me to talk casually right?" ask Min Ho chatty.
"Oh yes. Sorry Min Ho-aaa" Anna replied a little clumsy.
"Do you want dinner together?" Min Ho asked as he glanced at his phone, checking the time.
"Oh, I pulled the question" he said again.
"What?" anna asked puzzled by Min Ho's change of sentence before she even gave an answer.
"What the hell is a kid? Nawarin ate together, but he didn't. I'm not interested in you either. So expensive selling." nagged Anna in the heart.
"I asked my question, because I shouldn't have asked it that way. Would you like to have dinner with me? Think of it as a punishment for not listening to my instructions and still speaking formally to me." Min Ho said at length.
"What's? God, what did he say? the penalty? And this man is very noisy." said Joelin in his heart.
"Corn." Min Ho instantly pulled Joelin's hand and rushed over from there.
Joelin who was surprised by a hand that was holding her hand could only gawk in disbelief as she walked after Min Ho.
\*\*\*
Anna entered the classroom with great enthusiasm. All her duties can be of perfect value, of course Anna is very happy.
"Hi Mark's..." Say hello to Joelin to her best friend and immediately sit by Mark's side as usual.
...
Without a sound Mark even rose from his sitting position and moved to one of the empty seats in the class.
"Why him? Another PMS?" ask Anna in my heart.
"Die Annaaaaaaa...." Min Ho who had just entered the classroom shouted loudly while running towards Anna and sat down on the chair that Mark had just occupied.
"Hi.." replied Anna with a big smile.
Not wanting to be disturbed, Mark chose to wear a headsead and play music from his phone while waiting for the lecturer to enter the class.
