49 Spare a minute for me, I need to talk to you, Hyejin (1/2)

”Now why did you pulled me away from you and ran to the living room as if I have done some kind of weird things to you?” Young-soo asked her teasingly.

Hyejin stood next to the dining table in silence without uttering a word. She blushed hard and she was so shy to fan her burning hot cheeks with her hands.

He went near to her and asked, ”What happened are you alright?”

As he came near to her her heart beat rose, she put one of her hands over the table, and held the edge of the table tightly in her hand.

Her tomato red flushed cheeks made him to cup her face in his hand. He doesn't know with what guts he cupped her face, but when he looked at her rounded eyes he realized the nervousness in those beautiful eyes of her. He felt the chill ran down his spine, he took his hands off of her face, and cleared his throat by taking a few steps backward from her.

He checked the time of his wrist watch it reads 10:55 pm. ”I'll leave now it's already pretty late,” he said and walked near to the entrance door of the house. Hyejin slowly followed him to the door to see him off. Before he leaves the house he wished her once again to do well in the selection competition, he asked her to lock the door properly, and stay safe in the house.

She just nodded her head and bid him bye by waving her hand to him.

Young-soo walked on the street with a smile plastered on his face. He walked back to the swimming institute, when he reached there he gets in his car which has been waiting for him to drop him off at his school's hostel.

Since the day he started to go to the private swimming classes his parent got him a special permission from his school principal to get back to his hostel room late in the night at the weekends.

Once he went to his hostel room, he said to his roommate also his best friend Hoon-suk, that he went to Hyejin's house and stayed with her alone in the house for a while. However, Hoon-suk didn't show any reaction on his face because he felt so sleepy, he just asked him, ”oh, really?” and went back to sleep.

Young-soo lies down on his bed and felt as if he was in a fantasy world; he loved the new feelings which he was going through in his heart.

Throughout the week he looked so thoughtful and tensed whether Hyejin has did well or not in the selection competition. He was so curious to know about her results. He tried to reach her by the phone but he couldn't reach due to the weak signal, neither she didn't contact him to his phone number to inform him about her results. He was so impatient to meet her at the weekend.

When Saturday comes, he went to the swimming institute in the evening, waited for her arrival by sitting at the edge of the poolside, and watches the practices of other swimmers in the pool.
