Love Math

“Oyeeee….. Yura-ahhhhh?????” Kiseop called her from a distance.
“Wait… I’ll be back….” She patted Hara and walked towards him, with both her hands in her pants pockets.
“EHH why you yell ????” She asked.
“I heard you got 9th highest score in the finals of maths.” Kiseop told her excitingly.
“Geojimal, geojimal, goejimal……” She denied saying that it’s a lie. “Are making fun of me?”
“I am not lying pabooo…” He hit her head lightly. She gave him a confused look.
“Ok how do you know? Is there some display like they did in high school??? Jinjaaa……” She sighed in disbelief.
“Our class representative arranged the papers so she told me.”
“Well if that’s true…….. ummmmm …… I’ll treat you……”
“No Yura …. You should treat Gyosonim….. if you still don’t believe me ….. ask him in person. I’ll be waiting here. Go.”
“Nope…. I’ll call him.” She took out her cell phone and called Taekwoon.
“Annyaseo” He said in a sweet and soft voice. “why did you call?”
Her heart skipped a beat. “urghhhh not again …..” She thought and put her fist on her heart.
“Ummm gyosonimm…. I heard from a friend that I got 9th on the finals for maths.”
“uhhh … well….. chugha haeyo (congratz)……” He hung up.
“Urghhh………… That ………” Yura looked at her phone angrily. “He gave me an unclear answer.” She said to Kiseop.
“Well… that’s because he is Taekwoon Gyosonim.” Kiseop smiled at her. “I am grateful to him too.” He looked at her.
“WAE????”
“Because……” He came closer and gave her a warm hug. “he helped my old bestie.” He closed his eyes.
She hugged her back. “Gomawo……”
Kiseop blushed and separated from her. “Uhh ……. Lets eat something.”
Yura chuckled. “ok.”
“Why you laugh???”
“Nothing …. Lets go” She texted Hara that she would be late.
“Does he still like?” She again chuckled. “Seopie …. You havent changed…. Seriously.” She hit his back.
“Probably……” He whispered. “So you are going to treat me , right….. Yura?”
“Probably.” She imitated Kiseop’s voice.
He laughed. “Lets go.” He presented his hand to Yura to hold it.
“Ehhhh…… come on, your fangirls will misunderstand.”
“Jebal~” He pleaded.
She held his hand. They went to a rice cake shop and bought some rice cake. They went out of the shop.
“Lets sit on that bench.” Yura leaded Kiseop and they both sat together. Kiseop and Yura unfolded the packaging and started eating.
“Have you dated before Yura?” Kiseop looked at her.
“What do you think?” She looked back into his eyes.
“nope……”
She sighed. “I wish that was true.”
“What do you mean?? Who was he?” Kiseop asked out of curiosity.
“He told me I have a decent face so I should date someone like him. Ahhhhhhh…… I was a duffer.” She looked at the sky. “But you know what ….. breaking up with him after one week …… I understood that I wasn’t capable of finding the best guy. So, I gave that responsibility to my umma….. I know she’ll find me the best guy.”
“That’s ridiculous…. Just because you chose wrong guy doesn’t mean you’ll always choose a wrong guy.” Kiseop said.
“Ani………you wont understand cuz you’re a guy yourself. One wrong step for a girl can ruin her life…. Especially a weak hearted girl like me.” She looked down at her rice cake. “You know Gyosonim asked if we were dating….”
“Whattt?????” Kiseop startled.
“Don’t over-react…. I told him we are not dating. I also told him that I’ve given my umma this task and he appreciated me unlike you. He said he’ll like to have an obedient child like me.” She smiled.
“He is weird. In this kind of world…… who does this kind of stupidity.”
“Ahhhh …. Don’t piss me off.” She stood up. “Bye. Lets meet in the next semester.”
“Yura-ahh…… don’t panic…… sit back.”
She ignored him and went to her way.
“Why is this so difficult?” Kiseop murmured and took a bite of the rice cake.

5:00 pm
“Gyosonim…..” Yura came running towards Taekwoon who was standing beside his car.
“Finally……” He said in relief. Suddenly his eyes moved towards her luggage. “Whats this?”
“Ahhhhhhhhhh I am tired…….. I’ll explain. Lets get inside. Hurry. Oh and place this luggage at the back . Gomawo.” She smiled. She opened the car door.
“Huhh jinjaaa….” He sighed.
They both were in the car.
“Have you brought your luggage as well?”She asked.
“Yeah….. but why are we going to Seoul?” He asked while driving.
“Because its vacation.” She pouted.
“Don’t irritate me and tell me the reason…… cuz its just your vacation not mine.”
“Just for one day ???”
“But whatttttt????????” He glared at her.
“I told umma that I ranked 9th in maths. She wants to meet you and say thanks. She wants to treat you as well. Please accept it.”
“Hmmmmm…..”
“GOMAWO GYOSONIIIIIIIIM”
“Do you still think we are close enough??”
“Ofcourse. We are friends. I cant be Yuri unnie but I’ll net let you be lonely anymore. Yaksog(promise).”
He simply nodded and took a turn with a smile.
“I am glad you smile nowadays.”
He looked at her.
“Drive……” She commanded.
