That Day I Said I Love You

Early

Yoo Ae's POV

I was still sleepy when I entered school. I, actually, went two hours earlier before my first course of the day to be able to use the grand piano in the auditorium of the College of Music building. We are free to use college and school facilities in no-class hours as long as we reserve it from the building admin, and it's my turn today.

It's still 6:08am. My class is at 8:30am. I am really sleepy but we have a practical test coming two weeks from now and I need to focus. Plus, I have to hear how my new composition sound in grand piano.

Walking..

Walking..

Walking..

If someone would see me right now, they will think I'm a zombie. I did not even wear make up or even just put BB Cream on my face.

Well, I don't really care. No one from the people who know me and I know would see me at this hour. Their classes would be at 8 or 10am.

Very few people are in the university premises right now. Most of them are also going to practice for their own practical tests especially those in the Dance and Acting Department because our colleges have the same dates of examinations. We are all in performing arts, by the way.

Dozing off, I bumped into someone.

"Mianhaeyo~" I bowed in apology without even looking at the person I bumped at, and continued walking.

After a few minutes--- wait, I think I dozed off again that's why I thought it's a few minutes--- of walking. I decided to just visit the cafe and buy a cup of coffee to wake my brain cells.

Glad universities have cafes inside campus premises nowadays.

Entering the cafe, I slowly walked towards the counter to order.

Dragging my feet..

Yawning for the nth time.

"Hey!"

I did not mind the person who said 'hey' and just finished my yawning. It's a guy's voice. I don't have guy friends.

Besides, that person might be calling another person and not me.

"Hey!"

Still straight face. Not looking.

"Yoo Ae-sshi.."

I said so. He's not calling me. He's calling Yoo Ae-ss----YOO AE? That's my name!

And when I turned my head to see who's calling.

WAPAK!

BOOGSH!

SPOINK!

TSUUUG!

Different kinds of stuff like pots, cooking pans, gongs, etc. I imagined hitting my head.

Ground, please break and eat me.. jebal.. I'm begging you. Please crack. Right now. At this moment! JEBAL!

"Yoo Ae-sshi, good morning!"

Mark Oppa is standing in front of me with all smiles. "Seems like you're still sleepy."

What is Mark Oppa doing here at this hour?

Did he just saw me with no make up at all? My dark circles!!! UWAAAH!!

AISHUUUU! DID HE JUST SAW ME YAWN WITHOUT EVEN COVERING MY MOUTH??????!!!!

"Earth to Yoo Ae! Earth to Yoo Ae!"

He slightly laughed. Then...

ASDFGHJKL!

He leaned forward that our faces are like... 2 inches away from each other! Can I faint like right now??!

"You seem not in your right mind yet." He said then he put his hand over my head and messed my hair. "Alright. I'll treat you coffee. Espresso?"

I can't speak. I just nodded.

He smiled and went to the counter.

When oppa ordered, the girls in the counter were asking a lot of questions, and even using their aegyos. Heol. Stop flirting with my oppa! Don't they have guy employees here?

When the coffee was done, I went immediately to the counter and took the coffee.

"Thanks, oppa!" I bowed at Mark Oppa without even looking at him. "I'll treat you next time." Then hurriedly went out of the cafe.

I stop walking fast when I was about 10 meters away from the establishment, and caught my breath.

Whew!!!

I was sweating so much. Not because I walked like I was almost running, but because of my realization...

Mark Oppa saw "CLEARLY" how ugly I am. T_T Uwaaaaaaah!!!

I feel like sobbing right now.

I opened the coffee cup to drink out of frustration.

Pwe!!!! Elk. What the hell is this?!

Feels like I'm going to vomit. I opened the entire cup to look at the content.

I must really looked like an i***t back there. T_T Why did I nod? I don't even drink Espresso! huuuu~ o(╯□╰)o

Mark's POV

I also went out of the cafe after Yoo Ae left. I'm also in a hurry to our group's dance practice.

While I was walking, I saw Yoo Ae. I don't have the intentions to follow her, but I saw her stop while walking so I secretly watched her.

I can't help but laugh at how she shakes her head multiple times, and even stomping her feet.

She's really amusing!

What an interesting girl.
