Hora sheepishly gets up from her seat and hurries past me towards the canteen.I shrug my shoulders at Jaeb.u.m who is watching the entire scene with those beady little eyes of his, and just follow her.
The canteen is filled with steel tables and chairs.
It reminds you of a typical mess hall.
But it has that Korean feel with dark wood flooring and open air lighting.
Hora is fiddling with her fingers does not know what to do, so I just tell her to get a seat while I fill our trays.
Once I"m done paying, I make my way outside as she sits by the only table under the sun and out of sight from the rest of the student body.
Since, the weather is pretty cool today. I guess it"s not such a bad choice to be in the fresh air.
I place the tray with ox-bone soup and bibimpap infront of Hora. While I put the chicken cutlet and chips on the opposite side.
Facing her, I must say the view is amazing.
I think I"m full just looking at her. She"s not just a snack. She"s a full course meal
With the cool breeze and greenery around her, it really feels like I"m in a manhwa right now.
"Thank you for the food!", Hora shyly answers says.

We eat for a bit and talk about our weekend.
She is a bit ticked off that I didn"t keep my promise of not letting anyone know, but I a.s.sure her no-one knows we are a "some". At the moment to the outside world I am but one of her many suitors.
Thankfully, she can"t stay angry for long, I mean who can stay mad while you eat good food.
At one point she even gets worked up telling me a story about Chae-hyun that she speaks with her mouth full.
It reminds me that she is still young and its pretty cute that she shows me this side of her, which i"ve never read or seen on camera before.
"Baechu, does this count as a date?"
She gives me a unimpressed look, "No way!"
I laugh and say "Why not? It"s just us two and the atmosphere is pretty good", I playfully move my head side to side like a little boy teasing a girl he likes.
She just looks at me dead eyed, not finding it cute at all. "If you want to take me on a date you have to ask"
"Your birthday is coming up soon right? 29 March?"
She is slightly shocked, "Yeah, how do you know?"
I smirk and lean in as if to hide what I"m saying from any prying ears. I beckon her closer and say "Did you forget already?.... I"m from the future"
"Or you are just a stalker!"
She blurts out laughing at her own joke, resembling a dolphin.
Her laugh is really unique and it causes others to wonder what I said to make the Queen"s Facade melt.
I"m still leaning in, so the pose is a little ambiguous, as she nudges me away,
I go back to my original position and I can see her flushed cheeks and angry glare. It looks like she is blaming me for this situation.
"Its not like I forced you to laugh"
I continue, " Soooooo.... how about that day? The 29th its a Sat.u.r.day.... We have a date? A proper one"
In a very small voice she answers, "...Okay"
I try and hide my happiness. But I can feel my lips turning upwards.
Yup! I"m definitely smiling like an idiot right now.
The bell for lunch rings and we head back to cla.s.s after returning the trays.
Nothing really eventful happens minus a few jealous stares every now and then.
But before I know it, the day ends just like that.
I sling my bag over my shoulder and turn to look for Hora.
She"s at the podium in front.
Busying herself with cla.s.s president duties.
Well guess, I just have to wait till she"s done.
I put my bag back down and out my seat. I lay my head on the table and face her.
Hora is surrounded by the other smart kids they are having a heated discussion this might take a while.
The time pa.s.ses slowly and I find the wind coming from the window cooling.
I look out the window and watch the leafs move. My eyes slowly grow heavy and I find myself dosing off.
......
An unknown amount of time pa.s.ses and as I feel soft touch on my cheek.
I slowly open my eyes groggily and awaken from my slumber, the blurred reality slowly gains focus and in my view is Hora, crouching down playing with my face..
"I could get used to this"
I blink my eyes a few times and utter a low grunt.
"Good Morning, beautiful"
Hora laughs and says, "The sun has already set, its evening Mr Sleeping Beauty"
I check my watch and see that"s it already 6 pm, I slept for quite a while it seems.
"You done with cla.s.s duty stuff?"
She nods in the affirmative.
"Let"s go then", I proceed to stand up and pick up my bag lazily.
After I regain my sense of balance. I stretch out my left hand and give her a expectant look.
She slowly gathers her courage and after making sure that there is no-one else present.
Slowly, reaches out her small hands and grabs onto mine.
She is kind-of cold at the touch but it"s not unpleasant. Rather, the cooling sensation against my skin gives me an electrifying tingle.
I interlock my fingers and feel her soft skin in my grasp.
"Where are we going?" She eventually decides to ask
"I"m taking you home my dear..... It the privilege of your knight"
"Privilege?"
"Yeah, its only the knight who gets to accompany the princess " I nudge her playfully.
She seems to get the gist of my explanation, "I never thought you were this type"
I question her, "What type ? The lovely obsessive type? Huh huh"
She shows me her free hand, as she curled up fingers and utters "Uuuuugh cringe cringe. NO YOU ARE SO THE ANNOYING TYPE"
We reach my bike and then embark on the journey of escorting the princess back to her castle.
I stop in front of her house and as she gets off she struggles to say something
"Thanks, but .... you don"t have to take me home everyday or wait for me"
I use my poker face and lie, " I want to, besides it"s in the same direction. No big deal. Don"t think too much"
On que, she picks up on my BS and says "Oh really? and where do you live?"
"x.x.xX Apartments", I answer. Not realizing that I"ve just exposed myself.
"That"s in the opposite direction. You Idiot!" She says with a ma.s.sive grin on her face.
"HEY! you couldn"t even pretend? Anyway I like being able to spend time with the pretty Baechu. You are not changing my mind" I answer stubbornly
"Fine" She accedes, "But on one condition"
Her face turns serious. My mouth looses all moisture as I listen attentively, "Don"t ever .... take off your shirt in front of other girls again"
"Wait.... What?"
"In Phys ed, you and Jaeb.u.m were so busy having a d*** measuring compet.i.tion, you probably didn"t notice."
"d.a.m.n she has the mouth of a sailor when she"s mad"
"Oh right! I was drenched in sweat so we used the outside taps to cool down"
"Uhm, okay"
"Good" She smile satisfactorily.
"Baechu.... Are you Jealous?" I can"t help but ask hoping to fee the inner pride.
"No. I just dislike pretty boys who show off all the time" She answers knocking me down a peg.
"Oh. Anyway, Baechu, since the library closes early on Sat.u.r.days, how about we go to my place?"
"Your place?" Her cheeks turns tomato red . I never grow tired of seeing her fl.u.s.tered appearance. Its my personal happiness.
Hora has been put in charge of getting me up to speed with school, so we have a study session planned.
"Are you thinking something naughty? Ohh I never knew miss cla.s.s monitor was this type. But don"t worry you can touch all you want"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOUCH?"
Chuckling at her dirty little mind, I answer matter of factly "I mean you don"t have to worry about getting the place dirty and can touch anywhere, so It"s agreed then Sat.u.r.day study at my place. I"ll pick you up at 8 am?"
