The girl in the ash-ash coat walked at a slow pace like her legs were carrying a heavy weight, he said, his eyes were blank and lethargic with both hands in his pockets hoping that the cold air outside did not make his fingers freeze, yet his body clearly memorized every turn he passed even the hole he avoided. And though lazy he knows where to go home. His apartment.
Ahjumma the odeng salesman looked at him in surprise, not usually the girl passed the shop just like that without being tempted to taste one or two skewers of food or just say hello to herself who has known Ara since college she almost screamed if only she did not remember how busy his mouth and hands serve the customer. His energy could have run out by then.
Ara took a breath then threw it away by violently pressing the password at the entrance that she had memorized even so with her gaze turned the other way. His steps were dragged with his slingbag which he let sweep the floor, walking towards the sofa facing the window without the bulkhead where he used to spend time then laying himself there. He's angry at his own decision, a month-long date? Ara again frowned when recalling the events of today, The girl knew she would lose to the situation. But foolishly he was swept away like magic that forced him to say yes inevitably.
'babo (stupid)!'
Ara hit her head in annoyance, how could she enter work tomorrow with today's incident!.
Ara had just sat in her chair looking at the files that had to be followed up seriously before Kang Sol came she really felt guilty for putting more work on her senior and sure enough his boss was already standing there, knocking on his desk 3 times hoping that Ara would focus her attention on the figure, Ara fluttered without looking up, she could tell who the owner of the Versace perfume was so alluring.
Ara was forced to show off her smile, the man would not stop bothering her before the girl with the hair on the pigtail asked what she wanted.
"Ohh sajangnim, how can I help you?"
Ara got up from her seat with a stiff smile that did not fade but the man just folded his hands on his chest looking at Ara from top to bottom, a gaze that made Ara so intimidated like she was being stripped naked.
"Ara ssi, you can't make an appointment with anyone on your lunch break. We have to meet."
"n-ne?"
Ara could not hide her upset face, her precious lunch still had to be filled with work? he wants to curse if only not his boss who said directly.
"you and I need to talk about a month-long dating plan."
"ahh dating."
"today's just a draft plan, we can't count it as the first."
"wahh cunning man!"
Finally he cursed, Ara could not hold it anymore while Jae Hwan without caring about the girl's response, he stepped up with a smile then went to his room. Coloring the girl reminded him of the past. Very delightful.
Jae Hwan never thought that an ordinary girl could drive him crazy, either because of love or also difficult to remove it. The man tapped on the ballpoint on his desk as he looked out of the room where two girls were busy with their documents. Sometimes joking with each other, the girl laughed somehow because of what joke they made but her laughter spread without realizing she was already smiling then pulled her lip knot again when she realized there was something strange about her just now.
While Ara glanced at the clock on her wrist, she bit her lip. Time so quickly passed even 10 more minutes had entered lunch hour, the time he always waited to be able to recharge his energy now feels tense. How not, he has to meet Jae Hwan for a trivial reason but somehow Ara pounded again. Like old times.
"Where are you going?"
Kang Sol slightly shouted as Ara got up and walked towards the toilet
The girl looked in the mirror, smoothed a little makeup on her face and added a pink color on her lips as well as a little cushion for her facial skin to look better
"is this too much?"
"Are you ready for the meeting?"
Jae Hwan was waiting for Ara with both hands put in his pants pocket while Kang Sol there was just silent to see his boss's behavior then looked at Ara questioningly while Ara could only look at women that's with lethargy.
"sajangnim, you don't have a meeting now!"
Kang Sol cut between the silence that enveloped the conversation and looked back at Jae Hwan in surprise.
"iso (there), you won't understand!"
Jae Hwan replied nonchalantly
"Kang Sol-ah you can come to lunch with us if you want!"
"really?"
"then I'll go with-"
"Kang Sol ssi, you can eat in the office cafeteria. Why would I make that place if my employees chose to eat out?"
Jae Hwan cuts off the conversation before his secretary takes his bag like Ara.
"And you're taking me out to eat?"
Ara scoffing.
"Yaaa, you're good at arguing!"
"Joesonghamnida sajangnim."
"kaja (let's go)"
Ara had no choice but to tail her boss while Kang Sol excited her as if the girl was going to war.
They arrived at a cafe almost half an hour from the office because they were stuck in traffic. The girl keeps nagging because of her lunch hour she spent on the streets if it continues like this but Jae Hwan pretends to be deaf he has started to get used to the babbling of the girl again.
Ara sculpting, This cafe with the words Dreamy is part of its past half-timbered doors with the top is glass with an elongated bulkhead there is a staircase step before entering there with a rust-colored iron handle, the walls are still the same brick pattern with Lee Kwan Yew creeping covered almost the entire wall.
The aroma of coffee and bread smelled from within reminded Ara of the days when someone was always waiting for her. Jae Hwan smilingly pulled Ara's hand making his daydream crumble instantly.
The inside looks the same as the waiters with the brown Appron, counters with a diverse menu list and queues there, the table and chair are still there, only a small Christmas tree in the corner, but December has passed. Jae Hwan invites her to sit on the sofa near the counter where she used to wait for the girl or rather interfere.
Ara smiled, she only realized that her memories were not only about painful things.
