FATAL TROUBLE (REVERSE HAREM)

Part 8

"Can I sit here?"

The girl just blinked in response. The boy brushed back his hairs in hesitation, she put her sunglass above her head and stared at him. She looked around her and noticed that there was no other table available and that's why maybe he wanted to sit here.

She nodded, still staring at him. Can't get the fact that she just started eating her pastry and reading a story on her phone when the sudden boy asked if he could sit on the opposite chair. Not to be rude without any reason, she nodded and smiled when she noticed his hesitation.

He just nodded and took the seat. Her eyes lingered on him for a while until she returned back to her phone. She glanced at him for the last time and switched on the phone to resume her reading. Taking a bite from the pastry with a spoon and not minding a stranger sitting opposite to her.

The boy leaned back into the chair, tilting his head and folding his hands under his chest, staring at the girl in front of him. Glancing to the side, he noticed others stealing glances at him and the one in front of him totally ignoring his presence. He poked his inner cheek with his tongue, previously he thought to ignore her but the situation is totally different. The girl is more ignorant of him than him.

Little did he know, the girl in front of him was fighting the urge to stare at him longer. She was cursing at herself because what can she possibly do when a handsome boy is sitting just opposite to her and she could feel his gaze on him. If she starts talking to him and be all friendly, he might can think of her as clingy and she doesn't want a stranger to possibly think of her like that. No matter how handsome he is.

She tried to look up for once and steal a glance of him but to her dismay, he was already staring at her.

"What's your name?"

Her brows slightly raised and she was doubting if he was talking to her. She tried to look at his ears if he was talking in EarPods or something but he smirked.

"I'm talking to you, darling. I should know the name of the girl who let me sit here."

Oh gosh! She cursed internally. He looks so hot and more handsome speaking like that and sitting there like that.

She knew she was about to stutter so she cleared her throat and smiled.

"Ella. And, the chair was empty so it's nice that you could sit here." You tried to keep your cool.

He nodded, his eyes trailing down to your hand when you again switched off the screen and kept it to the side of your coffee cup. His eyes quickly met yours.

"What's in there that you are trying to hide so bad?"

You shook your head, "nothing to your interest."

"Well, now that you word it like this. I'm really interested to know." He said, it's really attractive how he is speaking to you. And to add more, his eyes and smile is so attractive that you were literally staring at him in admiration. "So?"

You blinked, breaking from your daydream.

"Nothing...as I said and to say it's personal."

You averted your eyes and tried to ignore his gaze, sipping your coffee and looking around the streets to your side.

"Don't you want to know my name?" He leaned forward, adjusting his elbow to the edge and propping his chin on top of his clasped hand.

You looked at him, is he serious? But the moment he smiled, you cooed at him silently. His dimple smile is so cute and adorable.

"Jungwon...that's the name of the boy whom you let to sit in your table." He said smilingly.

"Nice to meet you, Jungwon." You nodded.
