Chapter 3 Escaping From Her Ex-crush

• At Ara's house, the time was 10 a.m. She was getting ready by combing her bangs in front of the mirror, getting changed into a long white dress that was sleeveless, and wrapping her visible arms and half shoulder with a jacket.
• She took the money gently and went out of the house.
• She was walking along the street, waiting at the bus stop in the morning.
• As the cold wind passed through her, her long hair waved with the wind, and her bangs split up from her forehead vertex, which lay beside her eyebrows.
• Even though she shone in that dress and her hair, her white shoes demolished her whole dressing sense.
• The bus arrived there, and she got on the bus. She traveled for half an hour.
• Then she got off the bus and walked along the roadway.
• At the time, she noticed a man walking in front of her. He got a call, but it took him a few seconds to answer the call.
• She took her steps slowly after noticing him hesitating to answer the call.
• She tried to peek at the phone when he was holding it for a second. It was a girl's name.
• "Hello, I'm busy right now."
• "I'll talk later," he said and hung up quickly.
• Her eyes wrinkle with suspicion. So, she walked at the same speed as his.
• He sat at the nearby table, which was on the roadside cafe when they reached the zebra crossing side.
• She passed him while keeping an eye on him and stood near the street light like she was waiting for the walk signal.
• He took his phone back and chatted with someone else with his blooming smile.
• She twisted her lips and said, "All boys are the same."
• "Liar," she snorted and crossed the road without checking the signal.
• She kept mumbling, "There was another girl like me who got cheated on."
• "Why do we fall for liars?"
• "shit guys!" Her legs were stuck, and she realized that she was standing in the middle of the busy road as soon as she stopped mumbling.
• She struggled to cross the half-road as the vehicle's horn sound collapsed her concentration on checking the vehicle's way.
• After many battles with her feet, she reached the other side of the road successfully, breathing heavily.
• She looked back at the busy road, inhaled and exhaled with relaxation, and her eyes met that man casually.
• He was smirking at her. So, she covered her embarrassed face by lifting her jacket a little bit more and kept walking straight.
• Now she was standing in front of two textiles, one of which was bigger with four floors and was arranged beautifully to capture people's attention. And the other one was a small textile store like her small bookstore.
• She looked wonderingly at the big textile and gave a weird look to that small one.
• "I'm not that worth it," she said, staring at the big one while walking towards the small store.
• "Welcome, mam!" A middle-aged lady welcomed her.
• She hesitantly smiled and asked for the party wear section.
• She led the way and showed her a few dresses with wonderful colors.
• Ara picked a red leather gown over the green one. She loved it at first sight.
• "I love this one." She gloated and smiled at the mirror while putting it on her body.
• "It's only 40,000 won, Mam," she said.
• Ara lost her blinking and checked her money.
• "If I purchase it, I can't eat for a week," she mumbled at her purse.
• She kept thinking for a minute and said okay to her.
• She was coming out with a depressed look and getting on the coming bus.
• She got off one stop before hers.
• She took a deep breath, released it confidently, and said while entering the small restaurant, "Let's have fun for this time only!"
• Those people are so noisy, and the seats were arranged at such a distance that two people could only walk through that.
• She ordered immediately, as soon as she sat down.
• She ordered fewer foods that were enough for her stomach.
• At the time, a couple was passing her with their hands in their pockets.
• Her excited eyebrows went down in a second, thinking about her loved one.
• Her grieving eyes kept looking at them until they went out.
• The server gave her food.
• Her excitement came back, and she started to have a good bite of it.
• Meanwhile, a group of four boys entered the restaurant with noisy steps. She looked at them casually while she downed a bite.
• She straightened up again immediately as she recognized them.
• Her eyes recognized one of the young handsome men among them, having silky hair and little big eyes with milky lips.
• She bent down and went under the table as soon as she saw him.
• Her face was wrinkled with quizzical eyes. She howled, "When has he returned from Gangnam?"
• Her eyes saw their feet pass her seat. Then, her hand peeked from under the table and took the phone and her bags. She put some money on the table and started crawling out of it, and she kept checking back to see if they noticed her or not.
• Because of the crowd in the restaurant, she can't be caught by them.
• She kept crawling. At the time, a woman stepped on her hands, and she shouted silently with her mouth covered, making a wailing face without sound.
• That woman's worried eyes looked down quickly and she apologized by trying to get up. But Ara said it with hidden pain, "It's okay."
• Ara whined after that woman looked straight up at her table. She checked back at him once and crawled forward.
• A server boy's knee pumped on her head, and the food and drinks were poured onto her jacket. Her hair also got wet on one side.
• She sighed disappointedly with a lined mouth and got shocked at the same time when she looked at her new dress, which got soaked from the drinks.
• She looked up at the server boy slowly with lowered eyebrows, and she was about to cry, "Won't you just look down while walking?" He looked at her, worried.
• She waved her hand to tell him to move away when he bent down to help her.
• After he moved away, she crawled fast and came out of the restaurant, looking back at him once and standing up to move forward.
• He accidentally saw her while she was passing the restaurant. She was visible through the glass window.
• He looked at her but couldn't identify her. So, he drank water casually while nodding to his boys and switching his gaze to them.
