"It's raining hard and already flooded outside, Euna!" Euna's co -worker Joy exclaimed. To everyone with a Joy name, she really seems to always have a big problem in life.
"Close the door and let Guardie say goodbye for a while," Euna ordered, referring to the guard on duty they now have at the convenience store that they used to call Guardie.
Yes, it will be flooded outside and there will be storms. She entered at 7 PM and it was already raining hard.
"Good evening," Joy greeted the customers who had just entered.
Euna turned to the customers because the sound of the woman's shoes and the scents of them wafted through the air.
Rich fragrance.
Euna automatically frowned as she looked at the newcomers. It seems that these customers have just strayed from their usual customers. Because that convenience store is close to the railroad. The most frequent buyers of them are mostly locals as well as the surrounding is a residential area.
"Damn! The heavy rain has hit us and that man didn't even think to let us stay in the house where he was staying."
"Blue, if he keeps us going, I doubt if you'll even sit down, you arrogant fool!" The woman in high-heeled boots, an almost black leather dress and a cape-like leather that rested just on her shoulders, laughed.
Euna couldn't help but listen to the customers' conversations and glance at them. The word 'Goddess' is very applicable to the woman. It was as if she were still familiar with her, she just couldn't remember where she had seen her.
"I only wanna have an energy drink, Blue. It's tiring to argue and force people. He's really getting on my nerves! I don't know when Granpops will let him," the woman said to the person she was talking to.
The man is handsome. The two look rich, indeed. When Euna saw that they were approaching the counter where she was, she pretended to wipe, before they might have thought that she had been listening to them before. While Joy was busy mopping.
"Here, miss." She punched the woman's energy drink.
"Miss, how's the sales of Hen's Coffee and Hen's Donuts here?" Euna was surprised by the man's question.
Just as she was about to answer, the beautiful woman with him said, "Oh boy, tell me you're just kidding to that question of yours, Blue Dodge! And miss, oh, don't mind this man. He's always like that, by the way. " The woman has already taken the card she used to pay for purchases from Euna, even the ones she bought. She also smiled kindly at Euna and thanked her.
"What's wrong with my question? Haya? It can be just random."
"Nah, shut up! Can you please leave your freaking alter ego at your office and learn to be chill for once!"
She even heard them exchange words as the two were walking away from the counter.
She just thought, it's not hard to guess that the two were related to each other.
Maybe they're relatives because they looked alike.
"HEY, that's not allowed! Especially for a beautiful woman like you!" I rolled my eyes when Red suddenly appeared and took the cigarette from her mouth — and stepped on it!
Euna smoked one stick of cigar before she went home that morning because she didn't show to her nephew and niece that she's smoking.
"Just get whatever you want, Euna. I'll pay for it. But please stop smoking," Red said.
"Thanks, but no thanks, I'll just go home." If only Red wasn't handsome, she would have slapped him for interfering with her.
"Ooops, just wait, Euna ..." Red grabbed her arm as she was about to turn her back on him.
She just looked at Red's hands that were wrapped and held her arm before she threatened him with the thought that he should release her. He seemed to understand that, in no time, Red had removed his hands from her arm. Then he scratched his own neck.
"'Are you in trouble?" Euna pretended to object.
Supposedly pissed, that's how to cover up the sudden electricity she felt when she and Red's skin touched earlier. The voltage was still the same the first time they accidentally held hands.
Annoying!
"Nah, It's raining. 'Looks like you don't have an umbrella. You're probably not waterproof." Euna was surprised when Red opened an umbrella for her.
He moves fast! She didn't notice that umbrella…
"I'm not really an umbrella person. It always disappears, not valuable for me to remember that I have it with me," she answered. She took the umbrella but Red didn't let it go.
Yeah, they are so close together under the same umbrella!
"Tsk, Euna, if you don't want to take care of yourself, please let me take care of you," Red whispered as he stared at her and bowed slightly because he was taller than her.
Annoyed, Euna looked up at Red to answer what he said but she did it wrong — because in what she did, she was able to pass the movement of Red's adam's apple…
The little stubble on his chin… up to his kissable lips— "Oh!" She screamed when she felt a piece of water splashed on her face and then she slipped because someone touched her shoulder.
At the speed of events, Euna just felt that she had sunk into Red's massive and hard chest!
"I said watch out and don't step aside, Euna. I guess you're sleepy?" Red whispered.
Huh? Did he really say that? Shocks, she must have been so engrossed in looking at him that she didn't even hear it— you're embarrassing, Euna Del Fierro!
"Oh, I'm fine, I just got over my shoulder," was all Euna said.
"Of course, I won't let you get hurt!"
Euna's worms in her stomach seemed to be celebrating when Red winked at her in a sexy way. She really felt like there was a party in her stomach all of a sudden.
When Red smiled at her, she really needed to keep a secret that her undergarments literally started to get… soaked by that smile!
"I know I'm handsome but I guess your panty is strong enough to make you at home?" Red uttered in a playful tone.
Euna's eyes widened! Why does this man seem to read what's on her mind?
"A-hm, Red, I think, I have to go," she replied instead, she also slightly pushed the rider's chest.
"Just wait…*
Euna rolled her eyeballs. "What is it this time, Red?" She pretended to be bored, saying that maybe that would cover up her weakness.
"I just wanted to ask you something, Euna ..."
"What? If it's about the money…"
Red laughed. Laughter that made his eyes squinted and triggered dimples that were fragile— er, maybe her heart is still intact in that place ...?
"You're really mean to me, Euna!"
"Hey, what's wrong with that?"
"I have no intention to borrow money, of course. But personally ..."
"What now?"
Red tried against her again. It seems embarrassing to know. And does it seem like Euna is already guessing what he will say or is she just assuming?
"Euna, are you free on Saturday?"
Oh.
"Red, is that a date? If it is, and so am I, why not," said Euna, who just wished she could hide her excitement as she thought it would go away.
"Date? Euna, seriously?"
Euna's eyebrows responded to Red's. Er, what is it? This man's trouble!
"Don't get me wrong, I just laughed at the term, really. But go ahead, if date, date it is. So, on Saturday?"
"I already agreed, Red. I might get angry and—"
"Thanks, Euna!"
Wow, it was amazing how Red grabbed her a hug that fast!
Hey! Her heart is… throbbing…
"Hey, calm down! It's just me," she joked to Red.
"Thank you so much, Eun! And one more thing—"
"What's up?"
Red stared at him intently before saying, "Please stop smoking. U — Uhm, I mean, you know, it's not good for your health."
Euna felt different from the man in front of her again. It seems mixed with digging up what's in her stomach...
"Okay. But maybe next time. When you and I are officially together," she said to Red in a whispered way and then she didn't look back at him.
If Euna looked back, she would see Red's smile that seemed to dispel the little sanity she had. She could see that he didn't take his eyes off her.
Who wouldn't smile broadly when he clearly heard what Euna said…
Yes, even if it's still a whisper.
