In Love with Mr. Dimple #16

#16

[Soo Il’s POV]

I can’t stand this anymore. It’s been nearly half an hour and he didn’t even say a thing. And most importantly, where are we actually going? We already passed the junction to my house area five minutes ago.

“Jungsoo-shi.”

Silence.

“Jungsoo-shi.”

Silence.

“Park Jungsoo!!!” I called and look at him. I am a bit surprise to see him smiling like nothing happen. Feeling a bit awkward, I decide to turn back in front.

“What?” He suddenly asks.

“What ‘what’?” I ask him back.

“You called me earlier. So, what?”

“Oh, that’s right. I called you earlier.” I said, more to myself.

“Where are we going?” I ask. But, why does it sound more casual that it should be? I’m supposed to be angry. I blame his smile and his sudden question for that.

“Where do you want to go?” he asks me back.

“Huh?” I was surprised by his question. It’s not me who decide to go with him on the car but then he asks me where do I want to go?

“Where do you want to go?” he repeat.

“You are the one who’s driving.” I said.

“But I’m letting you to decide.” He reflect.

“What if I say I want to go home?”

“Except that.” He casually answer.

“What’s with that? You let me decide but then you want accept my decision? Pffft..” but of course all that is just a mumble only for me to hear it.

But then, I hear a chuckle, of course from him since there’s only the two of us in the car. I look at him, and looking at that smile, I am somewhat feel like smiling too. I turn to look out of the window, and try to suppress my smile.

“I miss you, Kim Soo Il.”

I freeze.

[Jungsoo’s POV]

It’s been a while since we set off from my house but we still didn’t say anything to each other. Not any single word. Not even a sigh.

Is she still mad at me? But if she is, she wouldn’t follow me into the car right? But, what if she did that because mom and dad were there? But, she didn’t look as mad as before though. That means she she’s already cool down right?

“Jungsoo-shi.”

Huh? Did she call me?

“Jungsoo-shi.”

Did she really call me?

“Park Jungsoo!!!”

I’m not dreaming. She IS calling for me. A smile formed on my face. It’s been long since I last hear that. I can feel that she’s looking at me right now. How I love it when she’s looking at me.

“What?” I ask her when she didn’t continue what she want to say.

“What ‘what’?” she asks me back, sternly.

Kim Soo Il, how I miss this side of you.

“You called me earlier. So, what?”

“Oh, that’s right. I called you earlier.” She said, in a low voice but loud enough for me to hear it.

“Where are we going?” she asks. Based on the tone, I guess she wasn’t angry anymore. It doesn’t have even an auns of angriness in it.

“Where do you want to go?” I asks her back.

“Huh?” she said, and look at me, but turn to look on the road again.

I look at her by the corner of my eyes. Crossing her hand, her eyes are fixed on the road.

“Where do you want to go?” I ask again.

“You are the one who’s driving.” She reply.

“But I’m letting you to decide.” I said.

“What if I say I want to go home?” she provoke.

“Except that.” I said and flash her a smile.

She starts to mumble again. It’s not like I didn’t hear what she said, but, yes, Kim Soo Il just love doing thinks in her weirdly way. How I miss this part of you too.

A chuckle slips out from my mouth. But I can’t be blame for that. She is just too cute. I miss her, no doubt. How did I survive this past two weeks without her?

“I miss you, Kim Soo Il.” I blurt out.

The sounds of the wave fill the silence between them. Since they arrive there, nothing escape their mouth yet. They only look at the waves that keep coming and going. In their head, both are busy thinking on what the other one is thinking and what should they say. How do they start the conversation? Both are clueless on that.

“So.” Finally, Jungsoo start the conversation.

“So?” Soo Il ask back.

Both of them still looking at the sea, did not even take a glance of the other person who is talking.

“What is going on with us?” Jungsoo ask.

But Soo Il did not answer that. She wants to think properly before answering. She wants a conclusion tonight. She’s tired. Tired of all the acts she put.

“Why don’t you tell me what’s going on, Jungsoo?” she ask calmly. When there’s no response from Jungsoo, she looks at him and add, still calmly.

“You confess to me. You tell me that you know me since long ago. But yet, you went missing and never turn up in front of since then. Don’t you think that at least, at the very least, I need some explaination? I might even think you are a stalker.” She mumbles the last part.

Jungsoo let out a smile at what she said. He kept quiet for a while, but then say,

“I’ll tell you everything. How we met, how did I fall for you, everything. Everything that happen this past two years.”
