Kim Young Kwang is a nice person, and Han So Eun naturally grew closer to him after their first meeting. They exchange messages, naturally follow each other on social media, and occasionally comment on each other's posts. So Eun learned from their conversation that Young Kwang and So Eun have similar book tastes. Young Kwang enjoys romance novels as well. He tells So Eun about the most unforgettable story he's ever read, which piques her interest. So he suggests she borrow his novel.
They decide to meet at Hyuk Soo's library after So Eun's last class. It was almost dinnertime when she finished her class, and it was pouring outside. So Eun, thankfully, does not forget her umbrella. As a result, she can walk without fear of getting wet.
Young Kwang, on the other hand, has just arrived at the library. He drives there and parks his car near the library. Because of the heavy rain, the library is not as crowded as usual. He notices Hyuk Soo, who is preoccupied with his work because his shift has not yet ended. Young Kwang smiled brightly and said hello to his bestfriend, who responded with Hyuk Soo's laconic response. Just like every other time.
"I'm not going," Hyuk Soo says, thinking Young Kwang will pay him another visit to convince him to go to the Premire, which makes Young Kwang smile. He explains that he hasn't come to see his cynical best friend today. Hyuk Soo does not believe him at first, but soon realizes that his friend is not lying when he sees a familiar girl enter the library, which is greeted with Young Kwang's bright smile and cheerful "you are here."
"annyeong oppa, do I make you wait so long?" So Eun, she places her umbrella in the designated location. Hyuk Soo was irritated by the scene in front of him. Why should these two people ever meet again? It's been days since their last meeting, and So Eun hasn't been to the library since. How do these people schedule an appointment here?
"We text each other, So Eun says she likes romance novels, so I recommend her my favorite novel, and I come to give it to her," Young Kwang explains their situation.
So Eun has no interest in Hyuk Soo and is content to simply say hello to him. She was simply overly enthusiastic about the book. She dragged Young Kwang along to sit near the windows. Her lack of regard for him irritated Hyuk Soo even more. He wants to join them, but he has a lot of work to do first. So he can only look in their direction.
Hyuk Soo clearly can't concentrate on his work because he keeps staring at the two "overjoyed" people who are happily whispering to each other, or so he believes. "Why are they so close together? What are they discussing? Why are they so cheerful? "is the question that keeps coming to mind for him. He was irritated by the fact that he didn't even have her phone number and that the other two were texting each other. He knew her earlier, but why is So Eun becoming more close and friendly to his friend than to himself?
Hyuk Soo clearly is unable to complete his work on time. The two people at whom he had been staring for the entire time suddenly stand up and approach him. So Eun asks, "What?" because Hyuk Soo makes no attempt to disguise his staring.
"You haven't had your dinner yet, have you?" Young Kwang inquires when they arrive. He invites Hyuk Soo out to dinner.
"Will she be joining?" Hyuk Soo motioning to So Eun.
"No, I have something to do," So Eun replied flatly. She does have an assignment due soon, but his question irritated her because she believes Hyuk Soo will not welcome her; she is unaware that she is incorrect.
"I'm going to take her home and then come pick you up; I'll be there in 30 minutes." Young Kwang does not wait for his response and invites So Eun to his car, leaving Hyuk Soo perplexed. In the end, he could only see the girl and his friend vanish. He dislikes this, he dislikes this sensation. He set his mind after accidentally looking around and discovering that So Eun had left her umbrella.
Next Day
So Eun is having a hectic day because she has a mountain of homework to complete. Her hectic schedule causes her to skip lunch. It was dark when she was finally able to escape her activities. The drizzle greeted her as she approached the gate. Her tired and hungry body is not looking forward to the rain. She takes her bag and searches for her umbrella, but she can't find it anywhere. The situation bothered her. All she wants to do is eat a warm meal, take a relaxing bath, and go to bed. But now she has to deal with the fact that the drizzle will drench her body.
"You owe me thanks for today," a man with a deep husky voice says suddenly in front of her. He smiles at her, which is unusual, but it puts her at ease. This man is as beautiful as ever, and he has her umbrella with him. She is overjoyed to meet him right now. She realized she had left her umbrella at the library the day before.
"Thank youuu" She said it with a big smile. Hyuk Soo's lips brighten with a smile. He knew he was making the right choice.
"Let's go," he says, motioning for the girl to follow him. She is perplexed; she thought he was only coming to deliver her umbrella, but has he ever been so nice to her before? As a result, she decides to ask a question.
"where?" She looked at him, perplexed. He gives a mysterious smile.
"Remember, you have to thank me? Do you believe that expressing yourself with just a Word is sufficient? I'm hungry, so let's go " There he has it! So he's asking her to buy him dinner. He is so frugal.
Finally, she is unable to refuse his request because she is also hungry. They go for a walk to a nearby restaurant and order some food. It's a little awkward having dinner together. There is an uncomfortable silence in the air. So Eun's phone started ringing at this point. Soo Hyuk can read it through her phone scene on the table. it's Young Kwang.
"oppa ne.... No, I just got done with my class, ah... Yes, I have a dinner reservation.... Thank you....all right.... Later...." So Eun hangs up the phone, knowing that Hyuk Soo was staring at her the entire time.
"Are you two dating?" asks Hyuk Soo, his eyes sharp.
"emm... No? " So Eun carefully answers the question, his demeanor awkward. She doesn't understand his question's intent or his tone.
"Then what is that?" he presses forward. So Eun explains that Young Kwang wants to ask her about her thoughts on his borrowed novel, but he doesn't want to disrupt her dinner, so they can talk later. Hyuk Soo then inquires if they speak on the phone on a regular basis, inquires about their conversation, and so on.
"What do you think of him?" he continues to question even after the meal has arrived.
"Well.... He is a nice person, he has a bright personality, he is a good friend for conversation But sometime he can become so talkative" Hyuk Soo nod agree with her, that is what he also feel about him.
"what about me? What do you think about me?" Hyuk Soo ask curiously, So Eun become alert. She doesn't Know how to answer that expecially when he ask it so bluntly. What kind of answer he wish to get, is it about his apperance? He is attractive, she can't deny that. But would she admit it to him? BIG NO. Is he ask about his character? He is not that nice, in fact he is annoying, a jerk! If she remember about their first meeting it is still pissed her which clearly seem on her expression.
"do you really want to Know?" ask her irritated.
Hyuk Soo keep silent for a moment, observing her expression, it is like she would curse at him right now.
"No" he said in the end. Not really ready to listening to her curse, after all he try to Enjoy the dinner.
"why do you keep interogating me? You looks like a jealous man. Do you like me?" So Eun laugh dryly, mocking him trying to ease the tension by saying some jokes.
"I do. I won't have a dinner with someone I hate." Hyuk Soo answer her after chewing his meal without looking at her. Em... Okay, it is reasonable. But.... Really, it makes me awkward. So Eun decide to not speak any further, so does Hyuk Soo. They finish their dinner without any other conversation.
By the time they finish the dinner, the drizzle still loyal accompanying them. She thought it would be the end for today but no, Hyuk Soo insisted to walk her home with an excuse to borrow her umbrella to go Home because he doesn't have any. So they walk silently side by side listening to the sound of the water hitting the upper part of umbrella.
"this is it" So Eun tell him that they reach her home. Hyuk Soo take a glance at her home for a while.
"Let me borrow your phone" he takes her phone that she hold all the time in her hand. She was taken aback with this sudden act and can't blocking him from stealing her Phone. He type some number and dial it, soon his phone is vibrating.
"3 days later is a weekend, it's your holiday right? I'll fetch you at 8 a.m. Don't be late" he return her phone and umbrella. It is still raining but he doesn't care being wet. "See You" is the last word he say before run away try to avoiding the Rain leave So Eun dumbfounded. Was the reason of borrowing an umbrella is only an excuse for him to takes her home? But why? So Eun keep Thinking about his behaviour even after she finish her bath and get ready to sleep. She hear her Phone is ringing, it's a message from a stranger number.
"arrive at home safely" it's the number Hyuk Soo dialed before, it's his number. Why can't he asks her number in a nice way? So Eun is wondering. Why would he fetch her on weekend? Where will they go? Is it a date? So Eun shakes her head for this thought. She now remember Hyuk Soo's answer of her silly question.
"I do, I won't have a dinner with someone I hate" She cursed her self for thinking of Hyuk Soo's answer as the signal that he might take interest of her. She put her phone on the table, resist to be interuppted by the thought of Hyuk Soo. All she want to do is sleep, and that's it.
He glanced at his phone, it's almost a time to have a lunch break. It's been 1 day 11 hour and 25 minutes, he counts. She doesn't reply his message. She clearly read it though but why she doesn't reply? It's become a mystery for him. Hyuk Soo open their chat room and type a new message for her. He want to asks her where does she plan to have lunch but he doesn't sent it, in fact he clear the message.He was waiting for her message from yesterday But nothing come from her. Maybe she is busy. She doesn't even come to visit the library too. Is she angry to me? Did I do something that irritated her? He tries to remember their last meeting but he find nothing. He gradually become bored, the library isn't crowded in the lunch break time so he has nothing to do at all while waiting for his time to have lunch.He open his SNS which he never did for a long time just to kill the boredom. He doesn't follow a lot of people so his wall is full of Lee Young Kwang curent and old post. After some min
It's finally weekend. On the weekend So Eun usually get up at noon because she cherish her precious sleeping time so much. But not for today, at the dawn her eyes was widely open, she can't back to sleep anymore. To be honest she didn't get a good sleep at all last night and the culprit of her restless night is no one else but Hyuk Soo. She isn't quite sure if he is really going to fetch her today but yet she is belwidered to thinks what outfit she has to wear to meet him. She decide to get up early, pull out all of her clothes on the bed even when everyone around her is still sleeping. She cant decide about the outfit because she doesn't know where are they going to go, so she thinks to ask him. wasn't ask him about their destination in this early morning would only make him assumed that she is really excited about their date? Are they even going to date? Nope. She throw away her phone on the pillow.In the end she choose a casual yet chic outfit as her concept. She takes her phone a
The primere has finally arrived. It takes place on Saturday night. So Eun dresses in a semi-formal red gown that makes her stand out. She did her hair in a simple chignon with a curly accent. She has to look her best because this is her first time on a primere. She prefers to wear a fabulous red dress because it makes her feel brave and bold. She wants to meet people in Hyuk Soo's world with confidence, without embarrassing the man. She wants to show him that she, too, can enchant people with her charm. So Eun doesn't want to diminish Hyuk Soo's charisma by appearing as an unbeatable partner for him at this important event. Hyuk Soo arrived earlier to fetch So Eun, he dressed in black and wearing a long coat. He is always fashionable, but he is making an effort to look better for this day. At first glance, no one would be able to tell him apart from a top model. With his black coat, Hyuk Soo appears very charismatic and manly. The all-black theme he chose for his outfit g
At A Private Restaurant There is a group of fashionable rich ladies gathering together. They happily chatted and enjoyed the dishes. At this time, Kim Min Hee arrives and greets them. They are her college friends. One of her friends, who works as a lecturer, informed her that their college is going to put on a big drama show. She invited them to come. "Where are you teaching?" the other friend confirms it. "Seoul University," she answered. This fact attracted Min Hee's attention, who was disinterested in all conversation before. She recalled that her brother told her about a place where Soo Hyuk works. It is a library near Seoul University. "When and where will it be held?" Min Hee speaks. Her friend informed her that the drama show is going to be held on December 25th. There are a lot of producers invited to discover new talents. "May I participate?"Min Hee continues. She is more than just welcomed. Her friend even asked her to become the evaluator of the show
So Eun becomes concerned as Hyuk Soo gradually loses consciousness. Her petite body struggles to support the weight of his super tall body. Fortunately, a taxi was nearby at the time, so she quickly called it and helped the driver take Hyuk Soo inside. "Where should we go, miss?" the driver asks So Eun, who is now sitting in the backseat alongside the collapsed Hyuk Soo. She is unsure how to respond to the driver because she does not know where the tall man lives. "Em... Oppa, where do you live?" So Eun tries to wake Hyuk Soo up, and the man responds faintly. The taxi driver immediately recognizes where he lives and begins driving the two of them to Hyuk Soo's apartment. So Eun continues to monitor his temperature while Hyuk Soo sleeps and leans against the corner. He has a high fever and appears to be trembling in the cold. She is trying to fix his clothes to keep him warm, not realizing Hyuk Soo's head has fallen on her shoulder. The girl freezes in place, realizing t
Hyuk Soo continues to approach and even tilts his head. So Eun can now clearly feel his warm breath in front of her face, which tickles her and makes the girl nervous. She is unable to move at all. Seizing the opportunity, the tall man began to close his eyes, preparing to join their lips together. But then So Eun pushes him away and forces the man to open his eyes again. "I'm going to be late! I have a class in the morning "She stated. So Eun ran away from the man without waiting any longer for his response. She grabs her bag and rushes out of Hyuk Soo's apartment. Hyuk Soo is taken aback by his situation. They were almost kissing when she pushed him away. His face has hardened as he lowers his gaze and stares at the empty space. He examines the situation carefully before cracking a thin smile. "What kind of class does she have on Sunday? What a liar! "He smiled as he remembered her expression. The girl is a terrible con artist. "When she's embarrassed like that, sh
"So, Eun-ah, what does this all mean?" Mrs Han investigates her daughter while showing So Eun the screen of her phone. When her mother rushes into her bedroom, the girl is relaxing on the bed and reading a romance novel. "What?" So Eun is surprised and believes there is a major problem, but when she looks at her mother phone's screen, all she sees is an SNS post by a big and famous model Kim Young Kwang mentioning her private account. "Wait, what?" The daughter does not understand what her mother is saying or the problem with the post. Mrs Han quickly joined So Eun on her bed. "How did you come to know Kim Young Kwang?" The mother inquires seriously. Is this the reason her mother came to find her in such a hurry? "Well, he just happens to be a friend of mine..." So Eun explains cautiously. "Is it a friend? But doesn't his post indicate that the two of you are close? He even brings up your account!" Mrs. Yoon is still ecstatic about it. "... Well, perhaps? Why are
