Hey guys, I'm really sorry I couldn't update yesterday and sorry again because I'm updating late today. I forgot that it was Saturday yesterday. Anyways, thanks for reading this ted talk. Enjoy!
Previously,
"That...is..wait, that's Ji Ae and Yeong Hyun!!" She whisper shouted and gasped....
"Damn, why are they here?" She mumbled. "Oh, that's great. Let me call them over." He said as he raised his hand to wave them over. But she grabbed his hand down. "Sunbae, what are you doing?" She said as she held his hand. "Why?" He asked. "I didn't tell Ji Ae that we are hanging out." She said. "So..is that a bad thing?" He asked. "She might get angry that I didn't tell her and adding to that, she would get the wrong idea." She said. "Ohh..Alright, I wont call them over. I thought you wanted them to join us. I didn't want to call them either. It would be similar to disturbing them. They look like they are gonna leave soon too. The dish they are eating now is a dessert. So they might leave soon." He said. "Sigh, that's a relief." She said. "Let's not mind them. Order whatever you want." He said as he passed the menu over to her. "Am I seeing this right? Why does it look sooo expensive...?" She asked. He giggled. "Don't worry, I'm paying, order whatever you want." He said. A waiter came over to their table. "Welcome! What would you like...Oh?" The waiter looked at Hyun Wook wide-eyed. Hyun Wook shook his head at the waiter. Bo Young didn't know what was going on, as she was immersed in the menu card, being confused on what to order. "Umm..please wait a minute." She said to the waiter. The waiter nodded his head. "Uhhhh, sunbae, I'm totally confused with this menu. Can you just order whatever?" She said. "Wait, let me recommend you something." He said as he got the menu card. "Please excuse me." The waiter excused himself as they were making it late. "Here, I've visited this place sometimes. The gujeolpan they provide here is really great. Wanna try?" He asked. "Gujeolpan? I've heard of it but what kind of dish is it?" She asked being clueless about it. "Its a dish with marinated yellowtail and camembert cheese, in addition to more classic condiments like kimchi, seaweed and perilla leaves." He said. "Oh...but I can't eat seafood." She said. "Ah really? I didn't know it." He said as he flipped the menu pages. "Sunbae, forget about that menu. I bet that they have basic dishes too. I will have them. You can order what you wish to have." She said. Hyun Wook nodded and smiled and called the waiter. "What would you like to order? Young Mas...people." They waiter said. "I would like to have spicy soft tofu stew without seafood. Is that.....possible or present?" She asked. "We have all types miss." The waiter replied. "Then I will have that. Thank you." She said and looked at Hyun Wook for his order. "I will have spicy cold noodles." He said. "Alright, I will be right back." The waiter said and left.
She was still cautious about Ji Ae and Yeong Hyun present there. "Why are you crouching down?" He asked. "They are still there, I don't wanna make her see me...Oh....leaving.." she mumbled. "Hmm?" He asked. "They are leaving, they are leaving. Yes!! They left!" She said happily, and then sat comfortably. He chuckled. There was a silence as expected because both of them are introverts. "Umm..how is your trainee days?" He made the first move. "Trainee days?" She asked. "Yeah, you're training in a company, right?" He asked. "Oh, you thought I was a trainee? I'm not a trainee yet, sadly." She said. "Really? Like for real?" He asked. "Yeah, is it that hard to believe that?" She asked. "I mean, I thought you would've got scouted. You are *cough* really *cough* pretty." He said. She couldn't understand what he said. "What?" She asked. "Nothing, I thought you were scouted." He said. "Haha, sadly not yet." She said jokingly. "You will get your chance, don't worry." He said. She smiled and nodded. "Oh and-" He was interrupted by the waiter. "Please enjoy. Let me know if you guys need anything." The waiter said as he pointed to the button placed in the desk. They both nodded. The waiter left. "Thank you for the meal!" They said and started to fill their stomachs. "Ooh! Woah! This tastes really delicious! You've selected a really great restaurant, sunbae! Here, wanna try?" She asked. "I've already tried every dishes here, so I know how it tastes. Dig in!" He said. "Ohh..I didn't know that.." She said being embarrassed. "Oh sunbae, do you have any exams? Like the coming week?" She asked. "No..we don't have any." He said. "Lucky you." She said. "Why? Do you guys have any?" He asked. "Yeah..the reason is so silly. They are checking if we remember things from last year. Ugh, I am not interested." She said. "That's crazy. You guys just started your grade." He said. "I know right! Are you training in an agency sunbae?" She asked. "Yeah..in the same company as Seong Seop." He said. "Ahh, but then why are you not included in the IT boys list?" She asked. "What's that?" He asked back. "Ehhh? You don't know that? I thought you guys knew it. I heard that they are called IT boys because they are Idol Trainees who are training in a big agency." She said. "Ohh, I never heard of that. I think that was created by your grade girls. I'm happy that I'm not involved in that. I already have enough of them behind me." He said. "Oho, you must be really popular. Well, you should be because you are good looking." She said unconsciously as she was eating. She thought: "Damn, did I just say that?" She choked. "Are you okay? Drink some water." He said and passed the glass of water. She then drank the water. "I'm okay." She said and calmed down. "Umm..do you really think that I'm good looking?" He asked. "Yeah." She said without hesitation because she knew that it would be of no use denying it as he already heard her saying. He smiled shyly and continued eating. They finished eating. "Do you want anything else?" He asked. "No no, I'm full, sunbae. You can order anything if you want to." She said. He shook his head as he didn't want anything. "But we have something in the house, so I will be right back." The waiter said and left. She looked at him and raised her eyebrows symbolising what it was. He shrugged even though he knew it.
The waiter came back. "Here, please enjoy." The waiter said and placed a dessert and left. "Wai-? Why didn't he tell anything about this dessert?" She said. "I know it though." He said. "What is this? It looks really good." She said. "It's called Neapolitan Bundt cake. It consists of 3 flavours. Taste it!" He said. She nodded and took a bite. Her face brightened. "Ooooh, this thasthes dhelicious. (tastes delicious.)" She said and smiled. "I know right!" He said. "You should have a bite too." She said. He nodded. They continued to eat with smiles on their faces. They finally finished. "Bo Young, I will pay the bill, you can go outside." He said. "Should I?" She asked. He nodded. "Then, alright. I will wait outside sunbae." She said and went outside. He smiled as he saw her leave. The waiter came back. "Here's your bill, young mas- man." The waiter hesitated. "Don't worry, she is out." He said and paid the money. "I will leave now." He said to the waiter and went outside. When he went outside, Bo Young was looking down, seeing a person lying down and groaning in pain. "What happened?" He asked. "I will tell later! Run!" She said. "What?" He asked. "Let's run!" She said and grabbed his hand and started running. They were running really fast. "What happened?" He asked. "*panting* I will tell a little bit later. Check if he is behind, sunbae." She said. He turned back to check. There was no one behind. "No one." He said in a low voice. "Is he coming, sunbae?" She asked. "No, I don't see anyone." He said. "For now, let's just run a little bit farther." She said and sped up. He sighed and agreed to her. They ran away even more farther. Finally, she stopped running. They were panting heavily. She crouched and sat down halfway. "Thank mom! WAIT! SUNBAE, IM REALLY SORRY! WE LEFT YOUR BIKE OVER THERE!" She said as she stood up in realisation. "No, don't panic, I know a way." He said and took out his phone. He then dialled to a person. "Hello, hyung, I left my bike in the restaurant. Can you bring it to the location I text you now?" He asked. "What about the key?" The person in the phone asked. "You can actually open the seat. When you open it, there will be a box, inside that you will find the key." He replied. "Alright, now share your location, will come there." The other person said. "Ok, I will hang up now." He replied and hung up the phone and shared his location. "Done, He will come now." He said. She nodded. "By the way, 'thank mom'? I've never heard anyone say that." He said. "Yeah, I use that phrase instead of 'thank God'." She said. "Alright, what did actually happen now?" He asked. She sighed. "That.." She started.
*back to when Bo Young went outside of the restaurant*
"I wonder how much the bill is. Whatever, sunbae told he is paying, it's his wish and he is rich I guess, so let's not care about it." She said. She thought: "But being alone after the nightmare I had, am scared. What if Mr.Threatcaller comes out of nowhere and points a gun at me? Uhhh, Geez, cut it out, those only happen in dramas. Be cool.." "Hey." Someone called her. She thought: "Hold..the hell...up. I was just thinking about Mr.Threatcaller. And someone comes up to me? It's not sunbae either." She slowly turned towards the person. "Wait..you are..that!" She recognised the person. "You are right. I'm the guy from yesterday. The guy who asked for your number yesterday. The guy...who are stalked..no no, stalks you." The stalker said while smirking. "Didn't I tell you already that I won't give you my number. Now, go back. I have other business to do." She said. "Ohh, right, you are with another guy right? Who is it? Is it your boyfriend?" He asked. "It's none of your business, but it will be a problem if you stay here." She warned him. "It is my business if someone I like is dating another guy. And, what less will happen if I stay here?" He said and placed his hand on here shoulder. "Sigh, you asked for it." She said and took his hand that he kept on her shoulder and twisted it. He cried in pain. "I told you right. Now, get lost." She said and pushed him and moved away. But then she heard rushing footsteps behind and they grabbed her hand. It was the same stalker. She got a hold of his hand and threw him down. She got startled by her moves too but she knew that he deserves it. She just used one of her taekwondo skill. At that time Hyun Wook entered the scene.
"This is what happened, sunbae." She said. "You did him good. You did a great job, that is how people like him should be treated." He said. "You think so? Well, I thought of it too. But, the expression you had in your face when you didn't know what was happening but still ran with me was really funny. Thinking about it makes me laugh." She said and started chuckling. "Ahh, really?" He said and messed up his hair as he was embarrassed and started chuckling too. They were laughing continuously. "Were you sure that you didn't know that stalker?" He asked. "Yes,I'm sure. It was the first time I saw him. He wouldn't dare to come near me again, next time. I taught him a good lesson." She said as she felt proud of herself. "You did well." He said and patted her head. She looked at him, flustered. He was also blushing a little. They both tried to cover it. The person came with the bike soon. "Oh, he's here." He said. The guy removed his helmet and started walking towards them. "Oh..Wait..isn't this the waiter from the restaurant?" Bo Young asked. "Yeah.." Hyun Wook said. Bo Young looked at them, one by one being confused. "Anyways, thank you hyung. I will take care of it now. See you later." Hyun Wook said. "Yeah, you too." The waiter said and bowed to Bo Young. Bo Young bowed back too. The waiter left. "Let's get going. Where are we heading next?" He asked. "Umm..let's me think about it. Ah right! How about the arcade?" She asked. "Sure! Hop on." He said and handed her the helmet. She wore it and got on the bike. They started leaving. "Sunbae, how do you know that waiter? You seemed a little casual with him too." She asked. "Ohh, that hyung? That restaurant is actually shared by my dad and his friend." He said. "Wait, so your family almost owns that restaurant? And is that why you knew how most of the dishes tasted?" She asked in surprise. "Yeah. Whenever they added a new dish or did something related to that, we had to go every time to taste it and tell how it is honestly." He said. "Ohh." She said. "And since I go there often for that and even to eat normally, I have seen him multiple times and we got close eventually." He said. "But, when we were in the restaurant he tried to call you 'young master' if I'm not wrong but outside he was really casual with you. Why??" She asked. "Yeah, everyone there calls us young master or words related to that because we are the heirs of the CEO and stuff. You might feel uncomfortable if you heard him call me like that, that's why I didn't let him call me like that." He said. "They still call rich people's children as Young master and stuff? I thought it was only in dramas." She said. "Yeah." He said. "We're here." He said as he stopped his bike. She then got down. She thought: "This arcade..." "And sunbae," She said. He looked at her wanting to what she wanted to ask. "Don't tell me later that this arcade is also yours." She said as she smiled. He giggled and said, "Don't worry, this is not ours." "Then, let's go!" She said and started running towards inside. He followed her. She stood in the centre of the arcade and just looked around. "It's been a really long time since I came here." She said. "Really? When did you last come here?" He asked. "When I was 13, with my mother." She said. "Didn't you come here after that?" He asked. "I couldn't come here." She said. "Why-!" He said. "Ohh! Let's go play that game!" She said and ran towards it. He followed her. "This racing simulator game? Are you sure?" He asked. In front of them there were two toy motorbikes for the game. "Yeah, I'm really good at it." She said. "Oh really? At least not as good as me." He said. "Are you sure? Then let's see after we play the game." She said and got on one of them. He nodded and got on the another. "Um..I forgot that we have to insert coins. Sunbae, you're rich right, why don't you pay?" She asked. "Yeah, I will." He said. "Yes!" She said and let him pay. "3..." She started counting. "2..." He said. "1!" Both of them finished counting and started their game. "Aye, I'm faster than you." She said. "Really?" He said and peeked to look at her current score. "Ahaha! I lied! I said it so that you will be distracted." She said and laughed. "Damn, I lost my way." He said. She chuckled. Their race finished. "Yay! I beat your score!" She said. "You're really great in this game. But you tricked me though. He said as he got down the toy bike. "Aye, I cant tell it was a trick but I was ahead of you." She said. "But you are great in this game." He said "Not only this game but most of the games in this arcade." She boasted as she got down it. "Alright, let's go to a game that I'm good at." He said. She nodded. He went towards a game. "Ohh...this game? Isn't it too simple?" She said. In front of them there was a button smashing game machine. "Hey, don't look down on it. It looks simple but is very different. We need hand strength, more like palm strength, speed and so on." He said. "Fine, let's go for it." She said. They both sat on the bench given and got ready. "3. 2. 1. Start." The screen displayed. Continuously without any stopping in between or slowing down, they kept smashing. "5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Stop!" The screen displayed. She was in the blue flag team and he was in the red flag team. The screen displayed the blue flag waving, which meant that she won. "Yay!? I won in this too?!" She asked in confusion and excitement.
"Yeah... I didn't know that you were good in this too." He said. "It's alright, sunbae. It's just that I'm so good." She said as she patted his shoulder while boasting about herself. He chuckled. "Fine! I know a game in which I can win for sure." He said. "What is it?" She asked. "You'll kn-sigh." He sighed disappointedly because of her answer. "Ohh is that game the punching bag game?" She asked. He sighed and stopped there. "Why..?" She asked as she saw him stop walking. "I was going to tell it as a shocking one but you found it beforehand." He said. "Ohh, I didn't think of it at all. But don't worry sunbae, I'm not good at it, but more like I've not punched it before." She said. "Ah really? Then, I guess it's an opportunity for me." He said and started walking even more energetically. They reached the game stop. "Who'll go first?" He asked. "Let's find out by playing Rock Paper Scissors." She said. "Whoever wins get to punch first. Rock, paper, scissors shoot!" He said. He played paper and she played rock. "Ahh, so close. Alright, go first, sunbae." She said and stepped back to leave way for him. He swinged his arm and punched the bag really hard. "Woahhhhh! That was really strong. *looks at the score* Ohhhhhhh! 689!! Woah sunbae! Respect. I accept my defeat." She said. "Just try it out." He said. "If you say so." She said and went forward to the punching bag. He stepped back. She swung her arm even more and punched the bag really HARD. His jaw dropped. "That was a little bit strong." She said. "Oh?! 750?!" He said as he pointed to the score. "Haha, well...I didn't expect that." She said. "I totally forgot that you are a taekwondo player." He said. At that time someone bumped into her. "?? Watch where you're going." She said and looked at the person. "I'm sorry." He (the person) said. "Wait..I know you! You're...."
