Dream High (On-Going)

Chapter 12

But at the same time I understand her. It must've been very hard for her to accept the fact that her mom's life ended just because of someone's irresponsibility

"I'm sorry for being insensitive, Ryujin-ah. I'm just curious about you"

Finally, Sunghoon realized it

"It's okay, I don't mind" she smiled like it was nothing

I've already heard just a glimpse of her life but it was all painful stories. I wonder how painful her life was. I never heard any happy stories from her life. It's always sad or painful stories. I wonder if she has a happy or good memories

I want to hear it

We later on decided to go out of the Starbucks after we eat

"Can we go to Mini So? I have to buy that Pillow Plushie" Ryujin said

"Pillow Plushie? I didn't know that you love pillow plushie" Sunghoon said and laughed

"It's not for me, idiot"

We later on go to the Mini So just like what Ryujin wanted when Sunghoon someone suddenly called Sunghoon

"Jay called me. He's asking me to buy a new headphones for him. Wait for me here"

"W-Wait!"

I tried to stop him but he already left. Why do I feel like he's leaving Ryujin and I on purpose?

"So where's the plushies?" Ryujin asked with a poker face

I guided her to the plushies section. A lot of people are looking at us and I don't know why

She started to looking for the Shiba Inu Pillow Plushie. I stand far from her because I felt awkward because of the people looking at us

I pretended that I'm looking for something but I'm secretly watching Ryujin. She found the Shiba Inu Pillow Plushie but it's on the top of the shelf so she can't reach it because she's so small. She started jumped but she can't reach it. She started to jump once again and she managed to pull one but she forgot to grab it. I laughed when I saw her frustrated face. I later on decided to help her. I stepped closer to her. I leaned my hand to her shoulder and grabbed the plushies easily. She slowly turned around and looked at me. My heart started to beat very fast when our eyes met. She's looking up on me because I'm taller than her. Our face is so close to each other and I can't breathe

"What? Don't tell me you're already inlove with me?" she started to laugh

I realized that I'm staring at her face for too long so I immediately stepped back and gave her the plushies

"H-Here" I cleared my throat and looked away

What the hell is happening to me?

"I told you they're a couple!"

"What a visual couple"

"I envy the girl"

"That guy is so lucky"

The other people on the store started gossiping about us. It looks like they all saw what happened. It's so embarrassing. I'm lucky that Sunghoon is not here. I'm sure he's going to tease me

"Are you done?" I asked

"Not yet"

I watched her as she go to the clothing section. I decided to look for clothes too since I'm already here. While looking for a t-shirt I saw Ryujin on the other side of the shelf trying on a bunny head band

She looks so innocent at first look but she's actually a funny, kind, caring and scary at the same time. When I first met her I really thought that she's Ji Eun but as the time goes by I noticed their big differences. Ji Eun is always serious and rarely show kindness to other people unlike Ryujin
