The campus was still deserted when Ara walked into building B where her class would start in an hour. His steps lightly enjoyed the winter that had already entered its final phase. The girl wore a grey cardigan and a black coat paired with her favorite blue jeans and sneakers, his left arm hugged some thick books that he had read yesterday while his right hand held the hot americano he bought while getting off the bus.
Along the way the snow began to melt not as much as at Christmas. Ahh yes christmas, yes, Ara suddenly smiled considering the behavior of Jae Hwan who bought a lot of knick knacks and ended up with himself also ahjumma who had to decorate the big tree because Jae Hwan apparently never did it and it even makes the place messy. They had no choice but to continue what had started.
That Christmas Eve was so warm, Ara went back to visit Jae Hwan's family and enjoyed dinner there, his mother never forgot to end the family's activities with tea that time insam cha (tea ginseng). He grumbled a little in his heart, again - again ginseng. The girl had to spend 2 sachets of red ginseng every day because of this cold weather and now ginseng tea. Ara's tongue is immune with a strong taste that comes out of the ginseng.
Ara's cell phone rang out his memory of Christmas Eve, he stared at her hands which were already full of americano glasses desperately and the book made him flustered to take the phone out of his coat pocket, then someone grabbed the thing from Ara's coat pocket without permission and made the girl turn around in surprise. That person smiled, a smile that made Ara speechless the kind of dazzling yet dangerous smile. Ara's frown almost voiced her surprise.
"You didn't answer?"
Ara raised both of her hands telling her how difficult it was for her to pick up objects other than the ones she was holding.
The man pressed a button on another phone he was holding then Ara's phone stopped ringing.
"Heol!"
"You're avoiding me again?"
"You think that's something that might remember where I live now?"
The guy nodded. Kim Jae Hwan confirmed what Ara said.
"yes too. But you didn't wake me?"
Jae Hwan seems to be looking for the girl's fault.
"Ahjumma didn't wake you? I asked him to douse your face with water if you didn't wake up at 10 o'clock. And are you flush today?"
the girl said it while glancing at the watch on the wrist.
"You're kidding me!"
Jae Hwan stares resentfully at the girl then grabs the americano Ara holds and drinks the contents without permission, Ara is stunned when her lipstick marks are slightly stuck in the glass part that Jae Hwan drinks her mind imagining activities that are commonly done with lips. Erotic. He opened his eyes trying to wake himself up from that stupid daydream.
"You didn't drink your red ginseng?"
"I spent it this morning. I don't like the taste."
Ara slightly shuddered in light of the strong aroma coming out from the red ginseng.
"but you're so fond of (chicken ginseng soup) you even ate that ginseng without leaving it for anyone else!"
"that's the exception!"
Their chatter continues to flow as they enjoy each step they do, Jae Hwan occasionally rubbed his girl's hair feeling soft and the smell of shampoo felt from there.
"Yes, I want to eat eomuk (fish cake)!"
"Ne, ne, ne!"

"Yeah, Ara ssi you know there's a talent concert at theater B?"
Oh A-ram whispered as the class progressed, the short-haired girl looked enthusiastic.
"really?"
"Min Gyu oppa will also sing solo, you know her followers on social media even very much. I'll be his first fan before he debuts."
"Min Gyu Ahhh."
"You know him, don't you, we met at the barbeque you made?"
The girl again asked she could not hide the twinkle in her eyes.
"Just like that,"
Ara smiled thinly not wanting to explain more about Min Gyu and the man's relationship with Jae Hwan even though A-ram actually understood without being explained
"My company watched it. Eung?"
"Geurae (well)."
A-ram claps his hands involuntarily making some people look at him stupidly, Ara laughs the girl is no different from her.
He keeps his promise to A-ram to watch the talent activities that the girl is referring to, Ara's phone rings as they head to the building where the event is held, Ara can already guess who the person who contacted her.
"Oddiseo (where are you)?"
"I'm with a friend, he's taking me to see a show at theater B."
"Ahh You want to watch the men dance?"
"Wae's? You jealous?"
Ara accidentally throws such a joke in front of A-ram making her friend look at Ara.
"I'll call you later."
He then turns off the phone before Jae Hwan can answer anything. Makes the guy across the phone snort annoyed.
"Your boyfriend?"
A-ram could not hide his curiosity made Ara smile stiffly as if she was caught making a mistake.
"Gwenchanha, I know you and sunbae are dating."
"But are you all right with the predicate he owns?"
A-ram then looked at Ara seriously and he understood the intent of the predicate that his friend mentioned making the two stop their steps before entering the building. Ara took a breath of it before she managed to make a sound out of her mouth.
"I don't plan on falling in love with her before the day she warms my heart, she protects me in an amazing way and how she makes me look precious."
Ara said it while smiling all the memories of how the man treated her made her feel so loved.
"I have to admit, you're the first woman to be his girlfriend. No one will dare to touch what belongs to Kim Jae Hwan that's the rule."
Ara nodded she realized the truth of A-ram's speech.
The two then entered the already crowded building, looking for a comfortable seat on the floor, this building was the same place when he danced on the stage. Her first day meeting Jae Hwan. Again, Ara smiled to herself.
While behind the curtain everyone who participated in the activity was preparing, some of them were women in their short skirts if Ara saw it he would have shuddered at the thought of a piercing cold in the middle of winter even though the heating of the room certainly worked well. Likewise Min Gyu who plays - playing with his acoustic guitar, Jae Hwan then approached the man to talk briefly about the plan he had and got a nod of agreement from Min Gyu. The two shook hands with the strange smile Jae Hwan showed. A smile that always seems dangerous.
