her arms on his shoulder and told him, who couldn’t hide his surprised face.
“I’m going to tell you something now. So don’t you dare look back and just keep your eyes on me.”
“You’re holding something back, aren’t you? Why else should I not look back? ”
The girl suddenly thought that what she was trying to do was quite childish. What was she trying to
do anyway? Cover his eyes? Maybe he’ll change his mind when he gets to know that cute girl is interested
in him. He could think that what he said yesterday was just a mistake and maybe he’ll want to leave her as a
good old friend. What right does she have to stop him from noticing that girl? So she put her arms down and
said,
“It’s.. it’s nothing. You can look back if you want. I’ll go get a drink.”
Then this time, the boy grabbed her who was trying to walk away. He grabbed her shoulder, bent a
little and looked into her eyes. With a playful, but gentle smile, he kissed her slightly. To the girl who couldn’t
hide her face mixed with surprise, joy and shyness, he said,
“I saw the girl trying to talk to me and I knew you cared about it. Isn’t that the reason you asked me
not to look back?”
“….”
“So this is your answer? It’s a yes, right?”
“….”
“Come on! Say something. Is it a yes or a no? Or should I just shut up, forget everything and just
dance with you?”
“……Shut up for a second.”
“What?”
And this time, it was the girl who laid her arms on his shoulders, stood on her toes, looking into his
eyes with a playful but gentle smile…A sincere smile of a woman in love.
