against better judgement, he squeezes in one more question, avoiding her gaze as he mentally braces for the backlash. âalso, uh, why do you need my clothes?â
the latterâs talking sounded more like an incessant beeâs buzzing to her, as if he was a bee that thought she was a flower moving too fast in the wind, one that he had to catch because he just needed to. and she tried not to put him at fault for this; she pulled him out of the blue and cornered him into accepting a situation with a stranger that knew this one thing about him even though theyâve never spoken before. and above all, he was a boy, and eunbin didnât expect much from any boy, especially intelligence. so eunbin accepted it, accepted it in the way that she wouldnât have swatted away at the bee no matter how annoying it was being.
âdid i not say i couldnât explain right now? itâll be easier and faster if you just do as i say, wangja.â eunbin usually did well in terms of masking her feelings, but even then she couldnât deny that she maybe wanted to have the annoyance seep through. âthe deadline for this is much sooner than that of our relationship, so itâd be nice if we finished this asap. much nicer for your pet, at least.â with the last sentence mumbled, she stopped in front of the bleachers near the baseball diamond and climbed up the steps, to the very top so it wasnât obvious they were alone.
after sitting down she got her first proper look at the boy, the one she would have to publicly claim for only god knows how long. he was handsome enough in that eunbin wouldnât be embarrassed to show him to her grandparents, but wasnât handsome enough to stir anything inside her. with a sigh, she waved him up silently and leaned back against the railings of the top row, already exhausted from their expedition-to-be.
a second proper look at wangja and she thought to herself, with a twinge of pleasure, at how he would react had he known he were in this situation because she accidentally put a â0âČ in front of his name, making him at the top of her contact list.
