-- Hansol's P.O.V --

Dinner was so awkward ..

We avoided eye contact the whole entire time until Aunt Marie spoke up ..

• Aunt Marie : " Omo .. have you two met already ?! .. "

• Us : " N-ne .. "

• Aunt Marie : " Hansol , _______ , Gwenchana ? " (Are you okay? In Korean) ..

• Her : " Y-yeah , I'm fine Ajumma .. "

• Hansol : " A-ajumma ? .. "

I cough vigorously after hearing her call my aunt Ajumma ..

Everyone stopped eating and looked at me ..

• Aunt Marie : " Ya .. She can call me Aunty .. Aigo .. Stubborn as ever ..

.. You two are still exactly the same towards each other .. "

• Her : " Huh ? .. "

• Hansol : " What ? .. "

We both looked at one another in disbelief ..

[Have we met before ? ..]

-- --

Before we knew it dinner was over and Aunt Marie had kindly asked us both to wash the dishes while she heads out to work because she had forgotten something ..

..

Silence ..

[I can't take it anymore ..]

I go to speak up until she turns around to meet me gaze ..

We're within arm length of each other ..

• Her : " U-um .. C-could you .. P-pass me .. T-the t-tea towel behind you? ..

.. P-please ? .. "

Her shakey voice got through to me as I immediately grab the tea towel and pass it to her ..

..

Once again , silence falls again ..

I decide to put on a smile and talk to her ..

-- --

-- Your P.O.V --

It's too quiet ..

We stand side by side washing dishes and all you could hear is the clatter of the cups and the tap running at the same time ..

[I can't take the silence anymore ..]

I turn towards him and open my mouth , and he does too ..

..

Nothing ..

..

We both blush and look away continuing the dishes ..

..

[Shit .. Even if I can't look at him, I have to talk to him ..]

• You : " So .. Um ..

I'm sorry for taking your seat this morning .. "

[Really .. -.-]

..

He looks at me with disappointment in his eye ..

• Hansol : " I've been meaning to talk to you about that .. "

• You : " Huh ? .. "

• Hansol : " I didn't mean to give you my shitty attitude this morning ..
