Chapter 26: Chapter 26

●Daniel's P.O.V.●

Pip….pip….pip….. Pip….pip….pip…

I woke up by my alarm. I slept on the small couch, thinking about all the things that happened yesterday. I rubbed my eyes as I yawned. Then my eyes went to the bedroom door upstairs.

I didn't even take a shower last night after returning home.

"What is happening to me? I am becoming weird after meeting this girl. Aaahhh !"

We needed to leave for the next destination today. I had already planned the tour. Only ten days remained for Nuri to stay here.

I sighed, "On the 11th day, we kissed out of nowhere. Everything was normal, but why all of a sudden did we experience such a thing?"

I heaved a sigh once again as I glanced up at the bedroom door upstairs.

I took my phone, and I noticed the time was 8 am already!

"Crap! We are late!"

I ran towards the bedroom door.

"Ah! Chinja! I am sure this girl hasn't woken up yet!"

Maintaining an imbalanced speed, I finally arrived at the bedroom.

"Yah! Miss India! Wake up! We are late !" I knocked hard on the bedroom door as I uttered the words.

"Don't tell me You're still sleeping in some ninja pose! Yah !"

I was almost thinking of banging harder when the door opened slowly, revealing Nuri's beautiful figure in front of me.

She wasn't wearing her cute blue nightdress but a cream-colored Top and brown skirt. I watched her up and down in a daze.

"Ahem~" Nuri cleared her throat.

"If you're done checking me out, you can come in." She chuckled.

I shook my head as I realised she was already ready to go for the visit. A little smirk appeared on her lips. I scratched my head in embarrassment. Then entered the bedroom with fast steps.

As I entered the washroom, my cheeks turned red.

"I am a dumb human!

This girl has zero feelings for me, and I am blushing and staring at her whenever I am getting the chance.

I am the most stupid human being on earth." I cried in my head.

I sighed heavily, and then I started the shower.

●Nuri's P.O.V.●

Daniel stated the truth when he said he planned everything. We left his apartment near 9 am and took the KORAIL train. The train came on time and departed on time. And also, we got two assigned seats.

Daniel and I were sitting beside each other. He was avoiding me. The little talk we had in the morning was the only conversation we had after last night. I sighed, glancing at Daniel's emotionless face.

Daniel was looking through some documents on his phone. My eyes were on his phone screen.

My eyes traveled a little upon his full sleeve cream-colored shirt and a black, stylish watch.

All of a sudden I realised Daniel was wearing the same colored shirt I was wearing !!!

"Again, we matched! How?"

"Or ….. Did he intentionally~ Did he intentionally match the shirt?"

A smirk appeared on my lips.

"You are looking good in this shirt ~," I said while controlling my giggle.

Daniel glanced at me, finally averting his gaze from the phone screen.

" 모 "

" What ?" He asked while making a straight face.

"I said you're looking handsome in this shirt.

Especially, because of the cream color. " I complimented.

Daniel looked down at his sleeves. Then he shifted his eyes toward me.

"Thank you. You too." Daniel replied with the lowest excitement level.

"Of course I'd look good," I uttered the words, making a pause intentionally.

He nodded and again shifted his gaze towards his phone screen. I bent my back and lowered my head, only to meet his eyes with the 45° angle from down.

He noticed my weirdness and rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing ?" Daniel said while making an annoyed face.

"I just wanted to say I would look good in these clothes because I am wearing the same color as you," I said as I acted innocent.

He didn't realise it at first and concentrated on his work again. I came back to my previous place. Then Daniel realised the actual matter, and his eyes widened.

He glanced at me.

"Did you match your shirt with my top ?" I asked with an innocent expression.

His eyes became wider like a baseball while talking in some alien language.

"I-i ac-actua- I can- ggjidcbkiesvnki." He stumbled over his words.

I laughed watching him like that.

"In which language are you talking?

Haha. I can't understand it at all. Hahaha," I kept laughing.

He couldn't pronounce a single word properly. Then he finally stopped talking while blinking too many times. I never saw him acting this cute.

He rubbed the nape of his neck as he tried to explain.

"It is just I like this color."

"I didn't wear this shirt intentionally.

I would never." He tried to act serious, so I could stop joking.

But instead, I teased more. Daniel's cheeks turned red.

"Yeah, right! Why would you do this intentionally?

I understand." I said as if I understood him.

"네"

"Yes." He gulped and flashed an awkward smile.

Daniel finally sighed in relief.

Then I continued, "But Daniel, why are your cheeks so red all of a sudden ?"

He covered his cheeks with his hands. And his phone fell from his lap.

"My cheeks ??? Where? Nope !" He said while looking pretty embarrassed.

I picked up his phone and offered it to him while controlling my laugh.

"Really? But it is still very red. Do you have a fever ?" I asked, showing fake concern.

He received the phone with his left hand while keeping the right hand on his right cheek still.

"아니요~ It's just too hot here. That's why." Daniel explained while wiping the imaginary sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief.

"But the ac is full, Daniel," I said as I stared at him directly.

"네 ?"

"What ?"

"I said the ac is full here, Daniel." I tried to keep my voice as serious as possible.

"네~ It is in full mode." He was again stumbling over his words.

"Still, I am hot!" Daniel said and unbuttoned two top buttons of his shirt, and then he pulled up the sleeves high to the elbows.

Seriously! Only to prove his point, Daniel unbuttoned his shirt. He was funny. I felt I teased him enough.

"Ah! Okay, fine, Daniel. I understood. Close the buttons already." I suggested it to him while giggling.

"Why should I? It's hot here!" Daniel protested with a serious face.

It was really cold inside the train. And Daniel was trying to be cool by proving his point. I sighed. Boys could still behave like a kid even if they grew old like an uncle!

"Daniel. Come on, close your shirt buttons." I said once again.

He shook his head, bearing the cold.

"Gosh! He is stubborn. But I am Nuri!"

I leaned over to Daniel and whispered in his right ear softly, "The girls are staring at you ~I am jealous!"

I took a small pause only so Daniel could process the whole thing for a second, then continued, "Will you button your shirt?

Or do you want me to do it myself?"

I leaned back.

Daniel glanced at me with his shocked face. Then he swallowed hard.
