As soon as she spotted Ha Joon, Su Ah hurriedly turned her body.
Having heard the conversation of the people wanting to see his girlfriend, she couldn’t pretend to know him.
The reaction they would have when I, far from their expectations, appeared was all too predictable.
‘I should tell him I’ll buy the book next time and meet him in the parking lot.’
The moment she took out her phone to send a message.
She suddenly felt someone’s hand wrapping around her waist.
“……!”
Su Ah looked up with surprised eyes.
And she met eyes with Ha Joon, who, while holding her waist, was smiling with annoying leisure.
“Didn’t you see me waving?”
“No, I… I didn’t see you.”
As Ha Joon asked, tilting his head down, Su Ah, conscious of the gazes pouring from the people, hastily lowered her head.
“Is that so? I’m not at a height that would go unnoticed anywhere.”
He laughed softly as if he found his own words amusing.
Really, bragging about himself even at a time like this.
Laughing after making his girlfriend feel like a squid?
Su Ah was about to blush, but first thought she needed to get out of here quickly.
Su Ah grabbed Ha Joon’s hand and moved quickly.
A moment later, Su Ah’s hurried steps came to a halt.
“Do you have a book you want to buy here?”
“Yes, it seems so.”
‘There aren’t many people here, so it should be okay.’
Having found a relatively less crowded place, Su Ah finally felt at ease to look at Ha Joon.
A bookstore date with a boyfriend.
It was one of the date fantasies Su Ah had written down in her notebook.
Introducing each other to favorite books at the bookstore with her boyfriend, sitting side by side, and spending time reading.
Min Chul and a few other guys she’d flirted with after him despised bookstores, gagging at the mere smell of books.
Suddenly, she wondered about Ha Joon.
“I’m thinking of buying some marketingrelated books. Why, do you dislike bookstores?”
After asking, she quickly observed Ha Joon’s expression.
“No, I like them. I buy books sometimes too.”
Oh yes! That’s good. He likes it.
She tried not to show her delight, but it was too late to erase the spreading smile.
“Do you really like coming to the bookstore that much?”
“Yes, I really like it.”
I like you more for liking the bookstore, but…
Unaware of Su Ah’s inner feelings, Ha Joon just thought, ‘She must really like bookstores.’
That’s when their bookstore dates started.
Although their interests differed, Ha Joon waited for Su Ah, looking at the surrounding books while she chose hers.
This is it. This is exactly it.
Even if the date wasn’t special or extraordinary, the feeling of having a shared taste was more than enough.
Unable to hide her excited expression, Su Ah started to look for the location of the book she had printed out at the book search stand.
‘Huh? I think that’s the book.’
Su Ah looked at the book placed well above her height and raised herself on her tiptoes.
Thinking that if she stretched her hand just a little more, she could reach it, she tried to extend her arm while grunting,
“Is it this one?”
Ha Joon, who had come close before she knew it, easily took out the book for her.
“Why didn’t you ask me to take it out for you? What were you going to do if another guy took it out while you were struggling by yourself?”
“What would I do? I’d say ‘thank you’ and accept it right away.”
“I knew it. This is why I can’t take my eyes off you.”
Ha Joon muttered as if he wanted her to hear.
“It’s a joke. A joke. If any other guy took it out, I would have thrown it on the floor right away. I don’t need it! Shouting.”
“Hmm. I really like that approach.”
Satisfied, the corners of Ha Joon’s lips curled up.
“Shall we go somewhere else now?”
Just as Su Ah was about to move with her arm linked in Ha Joon’s arm.
“Miss Su Ah…?”
She heard her name being called from somewhere.
Without even checking who it was, Su Ah hastily unhooked her arm from Ha Joon’s.
“Miss Su Ah, right?”
It was Team Leader Kim Yuna.
“What are you two doing here?”
Yuna looked back and forth between Su Ah and Ha Joon with wide, surprised eyes.
“Well, that is…”
Just as Su Ah was about to speak.
“Hey! Kim Yuna. You should carry your own books…”
Ji Hoon approached, calling Yuna’s name.
“Team Leader?”
It was an absurd situation.
In the middle of a crowded bookstore, the four people lost for words stared at each other.
“What’s going on here?”
Yuna asked with a disbelieving look.
“Well, that’s not it. If you’re wondering what’s going on…”
She opened her mouth trying to somehow defuse the situation, but couldn’t come up with anything to say.
The fact that her arm had been linked with Ha Joon’s until just moments ago was a problem.
Why did she have to link arms and create this mess?
She bit her lip in selfreproach.
“Stop.”
Ha Joon’s thumb touched Su Ah’s lips.
“Your lips are red.”
No, this isn’t right.
Su Ah quickly grabbed Ha Joon’s hand and pulled it down.
Yuna, who had been watching the scene, slowly opened her lips.
“Could it be, you two……”
“No.”
“Yes. We’re dating.”
