Past Sent a Reader. Choi Soobin|Choi Yeonjun|Choi Beomgyu|Park Sunghoon

Neighborhood

After the discussion, Mira didn't bother to say good-bye to them. But when she about to leave Soobin said,

"Shin Mira, I want to talk."

"I think official conversation is over, Choi Soobin."

Sunghoon felt goosebumps when Mira called Soobin by his name but did not use the term Sunbaenim.

"No, Mira. It's not over. Let's talk personally."

Sunghoon looked at Soobin and nodded, which meant to leave them alone. Sunghoon left.

"Don't hate me, Shin Mira. I know what you're thinking."

"If it's not about math I'll go."

"Everything is math." He said coldly.

He added,"I didn't record the video. That's all I had to say."

Mira looked at him with confusing eyes. She was thinking of how he could read her mind. That was the first time Mira looked at anyone this longer. Soobin also locked his eyes with hers and said,

"I'll take you home. Don't go alone."

Mira felt that those eyes never lied. He told the truth. Maybe there was a reason behind how he found that record. The day she started hating him was the day she stopped hating him. They left the cafe together. Soobin told her to get in his cycle. Mira felt shy at first.

"Hold my shirt, not me then."

Mira looked at him and wondered how he read her mind again. Mira did as he was told. She squeezed his shirt. Soobin crookedly smiled. And they never knew that scene was seen by Sunghoon who was waiting for Mira to take her home.

Soobin held the cycle and Mira got down. Mira thanked him. He nodded.

She went and lay down on the bed with her arms and legs crossed. She was really tired. She started to feel a little happy. She smiled a little without knowing. She felt Korea like a home for the first time. No one treated like her before, just like Sunghoon and Soobin did that day. Maybe, Sunghoon really wanted to be her friend and Soobin was a cold good senior who was extremely handsome with his own aura. Soobin was also an introvert, who didn't talk extra without topics. He just liked to answer questions shortly. Shortly meant very shortly, too much shortly. For the first time Mira found herself curious about someone. She muttered under her breath, "how could he read my mind."

A message popped up on her phone screen. "A group has been created by Sunghoon."

Sunghoon opened a group chat among him, Mira and Soobin. Her eyes locked at Soobin WhatsApp DP. He was so white like snow. Sunghoon called her,

"Mira?"

"Yes"

"I want to work part-time at your uncle's restaurant."

"WHAT?" She literally screamed.

"Yes. I'll talk to your uncle tomorrow."

"Why did you suddenly want to work here?"

"I'm glad, I'm seeing you asking me a question.... I want to work because I need to."

"Suddenly?"

"I started to live alone yesterday. So I need to."

"I see. Okay then."

"Good Night, Mira. Thanks anyway."

"Night!"

She didn't ask why he thanked her.

There was an empty old house which had the same vibes as a horror movie behind Mira's home. It caught her attention. She started to go there everyday after school. Because no one went there. She was decorating the inside of the house everyday. It was her secret zone. She placed her parents' picture on the upper side of the piano. She started to read fiction books of her favorite writers there. She stayed there all time except school hours and part time work at her uncle's restaurant.
