GUISE [ 양정원 ] yang jungwon ✓

17 - ☆: phone number.

"Yerim, I'm sorry for leaving you alone yesterday."

Minji's eyes pleaded for Yerim's forgiveness. Since morning, Yerim keeps herself quiet but she's not mad at Minji at all actually. "It's okay, you don't need to apologize multiple times, Minji," replied Yerim while giving her a thin smile.

"If you're okay, then why did you keep yourself quiet? Did they do anything to you? Tell me." Minji started panicking when thinking about it, and if anything happened, she was in the wrong for insisting Yerim join them.

Yerim takes a glance beside her, where Jungwon is right now, she feels uncomfortable when Jungwon was there too yesterday. That was such unexpected when he showed up. Joining with Jay and his friends has no problem because she still can bear with them, but with Jungwon? she can't hold any longer with him.

"No, I'm just sleepy.."

Lying her, she had to fake her smile because there was no use telling Minji the truth. Minji and Jungwon are fine with each other, so talking badly about it only makes her look stupid.

"Yerim, Jay senior searching for you."

One of her classmates suddenly tells. 'What is it again? Why does he keep meeting me here..' said Yerim in her mind, she hates it when other students look at them, she hates attention. Yerim gets up and goes outside of her classroom, wherein Jay waiting for her.

"Why? Is there anything important?"

Asking Yerim firmly as soon as she is in front of him, he's not even started to speak anything yet. "Yerim, why'd you sound serious? Did I do something wrong yesterday?" Jay looks worried while looking straight into her eyes.

Yerim tried to hold her sigh, this was all because of Jungwon, she happened to be draining her energy because of him. Now that she affected everyone around her with her negative vibe.

"I'm sorry, but I'm a bit tired. I'm sorry."

She had to apologize for her attitude just now towards Jay, as she realises she shouldn't let out her anger to anyone.

"Oh, then I'll leave. Actually, there's something I want to say but you do seem not in the mood. Never mind, I'll say it later."

Jay smiles and then excuses himself to give her space, but his smile makes Yerim feel even more guilty. The moment Jay wants to walk away, Yerim stops him. "Jay!" called her. He turns around to look at her.

"Tell me, what is that you want to say."

"No, it's not even important either."

Jay laughed awkwardly when Yerim asked because seeing her wasn't in a good mood didn't make it the right time for him. "Just say it to me, I want to hear." forced Yerim. "I want to take you to a new café nearby after school. I'll treat you, don't worry!" finally Jay told her.

Yerim keep herself quiet while thinking about it, Jay now getting worried because she might reject it due to being tired. After reading Jay's expression of how worried he was about Yerim rejecting his invitation, she had to accept it.

"Then, let's head there," replied her while giving her sweetest smile to make him less worried.

"Huh? Really?"

Asking him in confusion, Yerim just nodded to confirm it. Jay tried to hide his smile at how happy he was at the moment but there was no use in hiding it in front of Yerim, she already knows.

"But Jay, here's my phone number. You don't have to come to my class just to see me."

Yerim took out her pen from her pocket and wrote her phone number on Jay's palm. It felt tingling on his hand but the beat of his heart overshadowed it when Yerim spontaneously grabbed his hand.

"Yerim.."

"What?"

Asking her without looking at him while still writing her phone number. "I have to go," said him to excuse himself, as he couldn't hold his excitement any longer.

"Wait, okay done. Just call or text me later after school."

Jay walked away in a flutter as soon as Yerim was done. The reason she's giving her phone number is because she hates seeing everyone talk about them whenever Jay comes over to meet her outside her classroom. All of them jump to conclusions without knowing what actually happened and thinking Yerim and Jay are in a relationship.
