Maybe Tomorrow: Part 1

A Day Together:

Ryeowook thought about where he wanted to go. Truthfully, he didn't know. If he had to pick one place, it would be home. 

"I think I know a place you'll like." Sungah smiled, sitting next to him. "I'll let you know when we get there."

Ryeowook thought that was the end of the conversation until she started speaking again.

"I know those boys who pick on you sometimes." She looked at him then patted his hand. "You don't have to take that from them, you know."

He was surprised when her hand remained on his. The blood rushed to his cheeks, turning them bright red.

"You're doing it again." She looked at him with a cheeky grin. A grin he found very cute.

"D-Doing what?" He tilted his head slightly, trying to calm his beating heart.

"Blushing." She giggled. "Keep that up and I'll start thinking you like me."

Ryeowook laughed awkwardly then turned his head to look out the window.

"You don't talk much do you." Sungah sure did talk a lot.

He turned his head and found his heart racing again as he looked into her eyes. Not able to keep eye contact, he tilted his head again and nodded.

"Oh, I get it. You're just shy." She giggled, which he also found cute.

He laughed awkwardly again, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to me." She laughed, patting his hand with hers. The bus stopped, making her excited. She gripped his hand and stood up.

"We're here, come on!" She pulled him off the bus and ran to the other side of the street. He looked at the building in front of him. It was big.

"Where are we?" He asked her.

"Where do you think silly? It's Dongdaemun!"

He recognized that name. One of the best stores in Seoul. They had come to Seoul? If they miss the bus back to Incheon, he'll get in big trouble.

"Why are we here?" He asked her feeling confused.

"We can't exactly walk around in our uniforms all day!" She grinned. "Come on!"

She pulled on his arm and ran inside.

"Let's do you first!" She looked so excited. Why was everything about her so cute?

She pulled him into a store for men's clothes. 

"You can pick anything you want, as long as it looks nice." She let go of his hand so he could be free to look around. He didn't have money to pay for stuff like this. Did she know that? What was his style anyway? Suddenly, Sungah awkwardly approached him and tapped his shoulder. 

"Hello, sir. Do you need help?" She smiled like she was an employee. Ryeowook couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Just browsing." He smiled at her. She smiled and nodded her head. At that moment, something caught his eye. She stepped closer to him, putting the heat back in his cheeks.

"You see something you like?" She smiled sweetly.

"Y-Yes." He smiled back.

"Hey. It's impolite to stutter." She looked him in the eye. "And you shouldn't blush at employees." She gently poked his red cheek. Ryeowook ducked his head away from embarrassment. Did she really have to acknowledge every time he blushed? She noticed his embarrassment and just laughed.
