Chapter 208 - News from Mika (2/2)

”But...” Harry tried to change her mind but cancelled it because he knew she had made her decision and once she decided something, it would be hard to change her mind. ”Oh... Next time you won't reject me, would you?”

Ryn frowned. Somehow she could feel that what Harry meant was more than treating her for a meal.

Hey, she was not that slow and clueless, okay?

”Ryn?” He called when there was no answer from her side.

”Oh... Okay. Next time I will let you treat me for a meal. It's a promise,” she tried not to sound awkward but winced nonetheless. God, she did sound uneasy just now.

”Great. I... I will see you... Next week? At the campus?” He clarified.

Err... I no longer need to go to class. I'll get back to you later once I have the time... For the meal, I mean,” she explained hurriedly just in case he misunderstood her.

”You don't have to go to class anymore?” He asked the only thing that stuck to his mind during her explanation.

”Err... Yeah,” she replied awkwardly. Why did he sound heartbroken? She was only not going to class. Why did it feel like...?

No... It can't be. She shook her head mentally. They were just friends. Just platonic friends.

”Why?” He did sound sad.

Ryn gulped. Her mind was busy trying to find something to end this awkwardness.

”Err... My ride is here. I'll talk to you later. Bye,” without waiting for his reply, she quickly disconnected the call. She disliked having to face this kind of situation when she did not think anything significant about their relationship.

She quickly put her phone in the pocket and took a deep breath to calm herself. Man,  talking with Harry really gave her a headache. It was as if she was talking with the stubborn Jeremy.

She started back toward the exit. She really needed to leave now or she would not be able to hold herself from screaming in frustration in front of everyone.

Now, she wished so much she could drive a car. She did not need to wait for anyone to pick her up, to be her driver. She also could go anywhere she wanted without any problem.

With that thought in mind, she took out her phone again and started to scroll the information she gathered about the driving school.

As she was busy looking at it, her phone rang again. She was about to tell him to stop calling when she noticed it was another person online. She cleared her throat and smiled before swiping the screen to connect the call.

”Hello, Mika,” she greeted cheerfully.

”Ryn~ Are you busy? Are you free? Am I interrupting?” Mika asked hurriedly.

”I've just finished. Why?”

”Are you still there? Do you have a ride? Do you want me to pick you up?”

Ryn chuckled hearing questions after questions from her best friend. There must be something Mika wanted to share and she could not wait to do it. The excitement in her voice was the evidence.

”I'll send you my location,” Ryn did just that. Then, she put back the phone to her ear. Between them, they never used Whatsapp or Telegram or Kakao or any other application to call. They only used Kakao when they did not have time to call and only have time to leave a message.

”Give me a few minutes,” Mika promised and ended the call.

Ryn shook her head in amusement. She continued checking the driving school while waiting for Mika to arrive.

What could the news Mika want to share be? Would it be her wedding date? Mika had finally chose their wedding date and venue? Well, finally. Ryn did not think Jason could wait any longer to marry his sweetheart.
