The Fool's

Falling In Love Is Always A Surprise, Right?

Jae Hwan glanced at the clock on his wrist with a slight annoyance. Could he have gone from this patbingsu (red bean ice) shop since just now, no one likes to wait even half an hour? but the truth is he didn't move. He missed the girl he hadn't seen since morning, only since morning. But that's how when falling in love, parting feels so annoying, the girl is like an opium makes her head dizzy if not see it and the day is boring.

He grabs the phone at the table, writes in a clear chat column to whom. Upset not getting an answer, he decided to call her and hear every waiting note ringing from the object, his mouth was itching ready to nag the girl who had kept him waiting since then and was like he was promising himself that he would make sure the girl did not do it again.

"chagiyaaa (honey), I'm on my way there, can you wait for me 10 minutes?"

"All right."

he growled a little annoyed but remembering the call the girl gave him, his voice softened.

"make sure you've got a seat because I don't want to wait in line. Eung!"

then the call ended in 30 seconds, Jae Hwan bit his lower lip and then snorted. He is even frustrated because the girl who always cursed at him called him 'chagiya' which even calls too often come out of the mouth of his date easily and Jae Hwan does not feel anything but look at it now, how easy it is for the girl to surprise and Jae Hwan suddenly seems to have a mild heart attack.

10 Minutes, and fortunately the girl kept her promise. Ara came over with her unfastened smile, which to Jae Hwan looks like an apology made the man involuntarily smile as well as welcome her.

"Good job uri chagi, I don't have to wait in line anymore."

He rubs the back of Jae Hwan's hand on the table, and foolishly the man stares at Ara's every move like an amateur, with dazzled eyes.

They order two large bowls of bingsu, Jae Hwan's looks more tempting to Ara with abundant strawberry pieces and ice cream scoop while his is just a regular patbingsu with red bean and milk toppings. Ara took a spoon and put a big mouthful into her mouth feeling a cold and sweet sensation in the mouth. He bit the spoon with his lips, his eyes were clearly fixed on Jae Hwan's Gwail bingsu who had just touched the man with a spoon. She hesitantly looks at Jae Hwan, and the man can guess if Ara wants his share.

The girl opened her mouth when Jae Hwan was about to enter her second feed, and subconsciously the man according to feed the girl happily. Ara was surprised, he liked strawberries mixed with ice cream there, but it was not foreign to Ara. He gets busy with his thoughts about the food while Jae Hwan is still fascinated by his reflexes towards the girl.

"follow me, ES CAM-PUR!"

said Ara with her mouth open while spelling, Jae Hwan was surprised but he did not complain

"ES CAM-PU"

Ara clapped her hands happily despite the bad pronunciation of the letter 'R', making some eyes look at her in surprise and she did not care.

"you know in Indonesia there is a dessert similar to gwail bingsu, ES MIXUR"

"you include many kinds of fruit, seaweed, agar - so that then shaved ice and syrup and white milk."

Jae Hwan seemed enthusiastic with Ara's explanation seeing how the girl was telling stories with sparkling eyes.

"geurae, you should take me to Indonesia later."

"jinjja (really) ?"

Ara covered her smiling mouth in disbelief, even Jae Hwan could still see the girl's smile from between her fingers.

"I promise if you go there, I'll take you to all the places you won't see here."

"kull"

Jae Hwan smiled while Ara was still laughing happily.

The girl again - again hypnotizing him, he was never sweet even trying to make Jae Hwan charmed but even his smile alone had made the man submissive. Damnit.

"So how's your family, fun?"

The girl comes to the deepest question and Jae Hwan doesn't like to tell stories but again the girl makes him babble telling how his mom and dad are doing today.

Ara listened to the man in front of her tell a story, at first Jae Hwan did not open and only tell it at a glance but the girl was good at melting the atmosphere making Jae Hwan unconsciously tell everything in detail, when he was a child, his mother, a psychologist, and his father fell in love with the most influential woman in the house. The woman who had so much control over the two men.

Ara goes back to listening to Jae Hwan once in a while and responds with almost the same story. But of all the stories Jae Hwan the man did not mention a single name of his friend, Ara understood if given the fake environment Jae Hwan friendship. He must be fed up even if he doesn't say it.

"my father used to be almost depressed, you know facing the pressure of being a chaebol (conglomerate) is not easy,"

Jae Hwan laughed, then took a breath before continuing,

"haraboji (grandfather) kept pressing him to become someone perfect, while his soul wanted to be free, not to mention uncle and aunt wanted my father never to exist, they hated the fact that my father was more everything in various situations and haraboji was always proud of him."

Ara was surprised, she did not know that the lives of the rich were so complicated, unlike what everyone saw that those rich people only knew how to waste money, he said, he did not comment but Jae Hwan knew the girl was listening well.

"money makes you have everything including people who hate you,"

Jae Hwan feels himself in the same situation.

"then how did he meet your mother?"

Ara interrupts, she is more interested in the part of how Jae Hwan's father fell in love

"my father went to a silent psychologist and you can guess there's my mother."

Jae Hwan smiled, he seemed to like the part as well.

"eomma once told me that my father looked very lonely at the time, he needed someone to rely on even though he was actually able to stand alone but there was a part of him that made my mother unconsciously approach."

"and let me guess, your dad keeps coming there for consultations?"

Jae Hwan nodded in agreement

"greatly again the old man developed very well, he tried to prove that he deserved to be an heir and could face everything just to be able to marry eomma. He doesn't want haraboji to oppose it later."

Ara gawks, she is fascinated by the story of Jae Hwan is also fascinated by the man who is fascinated also remember his memories.

"i think it's more than just love, because it needs whatever the eomma has. And eomma is."

"my mother was someone extraordinary,"

Jae Hwan continued his story

"it's like making that old man fall in love every day, even until this morning when I saw them."

once again Jae Hwan glares to remember the incident this morning with a smile that made Ara fascinated, he looks so warm.

Jae Hwan often teased his father by calling 'old man' but Ara could see Jae Hwan loved his father very much from the way the man told stories. Ara can even see the admiration in the look in Jae Hwan's eyes, and Ara thinks Jae Hwan's father is also amazing.

They decided to leave the store before being kicked out because the queue is now snaking out to the outside, it is only natural summer if everyone wants to enjoy sweet and fresh foods such as bingsu or ice cream.

Ara wanted to walk around for a while leaving the man's car parked there, they checked several shops to see - look, then argue because Ara did not buy anything, he said, the man was tired and continued to complain but his feet kept following where the girl was going.

They stopped on park benches enjoying the darkening sky and the city was lit up by night lights, many large billboards that added to the lighting of each street.

Ara is almost in disbelief when Jae Hwan says the man's family wants to meet him, though Jae Hwan says it with a face made as if upset but both know it is a good sign. Jae Hwan recalls telling the part when Ara wanted to drink tea and cake reminded Jae Hwan of his mother.

And makes Jae Hwan upset with Ara's appetite.
