It was none other than the main character of today's party. He seems aloof today. That's a good sign.
" Why? Were you expecting someone else?" Seonje replied sarcastically.
" Someone else who?" I asked back.
" Like Junghyuk?"
" Why will I expect him here?"
" You know.." he shrugged at that.
There was suddenly a moment of silence. I almost forgot about the day. I turned back at him and said with a big smile on my face I could bring today, " Happy Birthday Seonje."
He kept looking at me for a while and nodded after a moment. Suddenly held out his hand to me. I was confused at the gesture and asked silently about the reason.
" My gift?" He suddenly said and now it fell into the pieces about what was the meaning of the gesture.
" Oh! How do you know I have a gift?" I asked with a smile suddenly feeling like to tease him.
" You don't have my gift? Are you sure?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
" Alright. You won. But I don't think It will be good idea to give it now. " I replied with a shrug.
" That's not for you to say. Take out the gift." Seonje replied.
I looked at Seonje clearly for a moment and sighed. He looked so perfect and handsome that anyone just can't move their eyes off of him. The black suit we brought together, it looked so good on him. Also he matched a beautiful tie with it. It looked perfect.
But he still demanded to see my gift. And what can I do about that. I took out the gift which I have bring along with me here and pass it to him which he gratefully take on.
He unwrapped the gift in front of me in seconds. I suddenly feeling a little flustered. It wasn't much of expensive gift he always gets. I was unsure if he would like the gift at all.
Then I saw a surprising thing, within a seconds he pulled out his tie which was perfectly placed on his chest along with the suit.
I quickly shouted at him, " Hey what are you doing?"
He without saying anything, after pulling out the tie from his neck, he held out the tie I gifted him and replied " Help me wear it."
I kept looking at him and replied " That one looked very good on you. Why would you do that."
" My choice. Now help me with it." He replied stubbornly.
I sighed and nodded and stepped close to him. Suddenly feeling a little small in front of him. He seems a little bit more tall then before. I fronwed while tying the tie around his neck and wonder if he really just got more taller. And finally couldn't help but asked him.
I looked up at him from my spot and asked with a frown " Did you just get more taller?!"
Eunseo didn't seem to notice the gap between them was so narrow that if they each move inches forward, there would have been an accident which they might not be prepared for.
Seonje slightly looked down at Eunseo and looked away first. Having tied the tie around Seonje's neck, Eunseo stepped back and urged the same question again.
" Hey answer. "
" Ah.. seems so. "
Hearing Seonje's confident answer , Eunseo couldn't help but feel a little jealous about it. Suddenly eunseo's little pride was hurt with the answer. Younger person being the taller one.
Eunseo sighed and nodded. Then He asked " Alright. Do you like the gift?"
Seonje asked back " How do I look with your tie?"
Eunseo looked at him for a moment seriously judging the look and finally felt relive that the tie he brought was also looking good on him. He smiled at him and replied " It looks good on you too. Actually I think, everything will look good on you."
" Hm. Good answer." Seonje said.
We stayed there for a while and then went inside again. Seonje also disappeared quickly. He is busy as the main character of course. But what should I do now?
I was thinking so hard that I didn't notice someone tapping me on the shoulder. When I finally noticed someone tapping my shoulder, I looked back and It was Junghyuk.
I smiled at him as usual not to make him so flustered. And said " Hey. What are you doing here? Enjoy today with your friends."
" Sunbae, would you mind going to an empty place for a moment? It's so noisy here, it's quite difficult to hear you talk ." He replied and I nodded at him.
I went to the same place ,where I and Seonje were before, for a second time.
"Here we are. How are you doing?" I asked him.
" It's good. How about sunbae?" He replied.
" It's good too. Why you are alone? Where are your friends?" I asked him.
" They are somewhere here. I just wanted to talk with you that's why I stepped out for a moment." He replied with an expression like he was embarrassed.
I laughed at his cuteness and replied " you are so cute Junghyuk."
He suddenly stopped and looked at me with a serious face and replied after a moment of thought, " No sunbae. I am a very serious person and handsome not cute"
I nodded laughing inwardly at his cuteness and said " Yes Mr. handsome."
" Ah sunbae! Don't laugh at me. " He whined at me as if he knew I was laughing at him . I stopped laughing and looked at him with a calm face.
Suddenly he said something..
" Sunbae don't make face like that!"
I calmly replied while resting my hand on the railing of the balcony end " Face like what ?"
" It's a face with an expression that make someone go crazy and kiss him."
I stopped at his bold reply and suddenly thinking if I heard it right. It seems I heard it right.
