❝ but when i'm in front of you, why do i feel so small? ❞
꒰ jacob. ꒱
it's been a couple of days now since my last phone call with ms. seahorse.
she hasn't contacted me eversince. i hope she's doing fine.
i've also been thinking a lot lately.
i saw younghoon & seha together at the mall.
i remembered younghoon saying that he already had lunch with someone when the boys visited our house.
ms. seahorse said she and younghoon had lunch together so that's confirmed.
the one that younghoon was with at the mall was seha.
i also noticed seha looking sad & quiet at the university.
...is seha ms. seahorse?
"jacob! can you help me?!" i heard mom downstairs.
"coming!" i ran down.
she was preparing the dinner table.
"mom? why are there four plates?" i asked, confused.
"oh, do you remember the only neighbors who greeted us? i invited them to dinner tonight."
i nodded and helped her prepare.
after a while, the doorbell rang.
"ah, jacob, can you put these in the table?" mom said before hurrying to the front door.
i then quickly placed the refreshments on the dinner table as mom said.
"thank you for inviting us." i heard a woman say.
"no problem, mrs. lee."
mom & our neighbors then entered the dining area.
"this is my son, jacob." mom introduced me to them.
wait a minute, seha?
wait, i didn't know it was them
the four of us sat down the table & prayed before taking our dinner.
"bon appétit!"
we then ate our dinner while mom & seha's mom chat.
i was just minding my own business until i heard my name.
"oh, jacob? i don't actually know if he has a girlfriend. but i think so." mom said.
i furrowed my eyebrows, "h-huh?"
"i was just kidding." mom chuckled.
what?
i minded my own business once again and finished my meal.
i looked over at seha, who already finished hers & is now gulping down the glass of mango juice.
