Cure(04)

Hwanbi and Jaehwan didn't notice the time as they watch the stars. Time was reminded by a sudden notification in Jaehwan's phone.

"Oh, it's already midnight. It's time to go." The boy said as he stood up. Hwanbi followed Jaehwan's movements.

"Yeah, it was nice seeing the night sky with you!" Hwanbi puts up her lonely smile, not noticing she was giving one. Jaehwan, not being dense, noticed it.

"Uhh... It's dark now, it's dangerous for a girl like you to walk alone right?" He pointed out. The girl knew what Jaehwan wanted to say so she nodded her head.

"I guess..." She muttered shyly.

"Come on, let's get going now. Your house is not far right?" She nods her head as response. Hwanbi is too flustered by what's happening.

As they set off the cemetery, none of them spoke. The atmosphere is obviously awkward, it's unusual for Hwanbi to shut up but she can't think of a good topic.

"Hey, uhhmm... I'm sorry for being rude and forgetting your name, but what's your name again?" Jaehwan scratched his head, smiling a bit. Hwanbi thought it was funny because her name is easily forgotten.

"Hwanbi. My name is Park Hwanbi. Remember that okay?" She made gun fingers and pointed it to Jaehwan. Jaehwan surrendered his hands up and nodded.

They both laughed at each other's silliness.

The walk to Hwanbi's house is long, but Hwanbi didn't want it to end either.

Kim Jaehwan. She thought. I'm walking with him right now, wow such an unforgetable moment. I wish it will never end, I won't even get tired.

"Don't you think cancers these days are cliché?" Jaehwan said breaking the silence. Hwanbi almost choked from her own saliva.

"W-why did you say? I mean- how come?" She tried her best not to show her bothered state. Jaehwan continues to look down on the path they were walking on.

"Hmmm, it's in the news. Cancer is everywhere. I just hope they find cure to it soon." Hwanbi hummed in agreement to the pouting boy.

What's important is he's so cute tonight. Hwanbi thought, trying to distract herself. I really wish this walk won't end.

"Is this your house yet?" Hwanbi looks at the house on her left, it's weird that he's right.

"You're right! Thank you for your chivalry, Jaehwan." She smiled at him so brightly, Jaehwan forgot to breathe for a moment. It was breathtaking.

"Y-You're welcome, Hwanbi. Hehehe, I gotta go now. Can't let the creeps get me." Jaehwan motioned to his back with his thumb.

The girl who was smiling nodded and went to their door. Before turning the doorknob she took a last glance at Jaehwan, who was still standing there.

"Good night Jaehwan! I had a blast tonight because of you. Have a safe trip home." She cast him off with a smile again before entering the two-story house.

Jaehwan grins to himself, shaking his head. "I probably look like a fool right now." He touches his hair, trying to divert his attention from his loudly beating heart.
