Chapter 19: A Date?
Third-person POV
'Ok, so can you both talk rather than just looking at each other.' This is the only thing on Haru's mind right now.
It has been 10 minutes just say something.
"Haru, can you bring some snacks for the guest, I'll keep her company while You're gone," jin-ah said while looking at Haru.
"...…Ok, do you want something?" Haru asked as he can see she is in a bad mood.
"No, just bring what you usually bring," jin-ah said.
"I'll be back in a bit Hae-in," Haru said to her with a smile which caused her to look away as she nodded.
Jin-ah's eyes narrowed while looking at this.
'Perhaps, she also…..No, it can't be…'
Haru left the room to get some snacks that Hae-in and Jin-ah liked.
After he left the room both girls had a serious expressions and spoke at the same time.
"What is your relationship with him?" which caused them to narrow their eyes and look at each other.
'To ask someone what their relationship is….'
"Then I'll say first," Jin-ah said as Hae-in nodded.
"I'm his neighbor and childhood friend. Well…" Jin-ah said as she remembered that he kissed her Yesterday which caused her face to become rosy. Hae-in looked at this and thought.
'Then why are you blushing…..'
"Then I'll go next I'm his…." Then her face became red as well as her eyes darted around the room.
'Could it be...' Jin-ah's heartbeat quickened as she thought it would be something she didn't want to hear.
"…..Friend," Hae-in said shyly while blushing. Jin-ah nearly fell off the sofa as she stood up and said.
"Then why are you acting like you're his wife you nearly gave me a heart attack" Jin-ah patting her chest to calm herself.
"W-W-Wi-Wife N-No it-it's to e-ea-early," Hae-in said while covering her face with her hands as smoke was coming out of her head.
'it is as I thought she as well….' Jin-ah clenched her fist as she at the woman in front of her.
Hae-in calmed down after some time and looked at jin-ah again.
After some time both of them sighed.
"So you want some tea or coffee?" jin-ah asked her.
"Tea will be fine," Hae-in said as jin-ah stood up and went to pour tea that Haru made some time ago it was still hot.
Meanwhile, Hae-in was looking around the house her only impression was.
'It's a simple house. But it has a cozy and warm feeling.' Then jin-ah came back with a cup of tea for hae-in and they started about talking a random topic but it was somehow always revolving around Haru.
From which hae-in learned a lot of things about Haru from jin-ah.
'So he lost his parents as well.' She said while thinking about her parents. and she also understood what Haru meant for jin-ah.
For Jin-ah, Haru was her emotional pillar someone she can fall back to and depend on. 'I wonder how it feels to have something like that.'

M.C POV
'I just hope they aren't fighting.' I thought as I know that it is unlikely because of hae-in personality but jin-ah can be extremely childish sometimes.
I paid for the snacks that I bought for them.
Haitai Calbee Honey Butter Chips, Binggrae Strawberry Milk, and Samanco Ice Cream for Hae-in.
Sindangdong Tteokbokki, Melona Banana Ice Cream, and Orion Choco Pie for Jin-ah I bought some extra as well so that she can eat when she feels like it.
I bought some Nongshim Shrimp Crackers and Binggrae melon Milk for myself and bought some groceries and necessities that are needed. After paying I went back and reached my house in about 5 minutes. I can hear giggles and chuckles from inside.
'I guess they are getting along just fine.' I smiled then heard a voice.
"Do you know what he did during the sports festival in school?" I heard Jin-ah's voice and I became pale.
I opened the door quickly and both of them looked my way.
I looked at Jin-ah and said with a smile.
"What were you talking about?"
She looked away while trying to whistle but failed.
I just sighed. And gave them their favorite snacks as I sat down as well. And I was a bit grateful that they can become friends.
"Thank you, Haru." Jin-ah jumped and hugged me like a koala from behind.
"Ok, Ok sit down and eat," I said to her while patting her head.
I saw Hae-in looking away with a complicated look in her eyes.
'Sigh this is going to be hard.' I thought as jin-ah separated from me and started eating her snacks. I went towards Hae-in and gave her the snacks I bought for her and said with a smile.
"You should eat as well we have to go out."
She nodded as her mood became better in an instant and started eating. I can jin-ah's gaze on me so I asked.
"What happened Jin-ah?"
"Haru are you going somewhere?" she said while looking towards Hae-in who was eating while her eyes darted around the room.
"Yes I and Hae-in will be going out today to do some shopping," I said while looking at jin-ah who had a sour expression.
".... is it a date?" she said narrowing her eyes.
Cough* Cough* Hae-in choked on food.
I shook my head and gave her a glass of water.
I patted her back while she was coughing. When she stopped I asked her.
"Are you alright?"
"….yes," she said in a low voice while looking away.
"Ok, then I'll go and change so wait for me," I said as I went towards my room to change.
Hae-in Pov
I was nervous when I was going to Haru's house as we will be going out together. I looked at my reflection on a glass window. I was wearing a white off-shoulder top with light blue baggy jeans with white shoes.
I didn't know what to do as I haven't been to a boy's house before.
'Should I buy something as a gift?' I was thinking while walking towards his building.
After thinking for a while I wasn't able to come up with a possible gift for him. I reached his house which was in a simple apartment building.
"Even after becoming an S-Rank he still lives here," I muttered while looking at the building.
In today's time, S-Rank hunters make a lot of money and live however they want. Even I live in a high-rise building near Hunter guild's headquarters. Which is one of the most expensive areas in Korea.
I reached at his doorstep while thinking. I was more nervous standing in front of his house. As I knocked on his door, the door opened I thought I would see him, but…
The one who opened the door was a beautiful slender teenage girl with gray eyes and brownish-black hair.
'Who is she? Is she...' I thought.
"Oh, Hae-in come in." I heard his calm voice and saw him standing behind the girl wearing a white t-shirt with black sweatpants. And his Reddish-black hair wasn't tied in his usual ponytail. but it gave him a unique charm.
"Yeah sorry for coming earlier," I said.
He nodded and said, "It's alright, come in and make yourself comfortable."
I said hello to the girl who was looking towards me with narrowed eyes. And went in to sit down on the sofa and the girl sat in front of me while looking at me. we didn't say anything and just looked at each other. And then the girl said.
"Haru can you get us some snacks?" to which Haru nodded and went out to buy snacks. And we talked a bit and understood who she was but when she asked this question I didn't know what to say. As I don't know what he is to me. I ask this question to myself every night thinking that I will find it out the next day but I couldn't.
My heart is in turmoil as I don't know what to name this relationship I have with him but one thing that I know of is that I don't want to lose this feeling I have.
After he came back. We ate the snacks he brought it was my favorite.
I can see she looks at him the same way I do. As for why I know how I look at him like that is.
Because Master Choi took a photo of me while I was looking at him. and he was teasing me while showing me the photo. I told him to delete the photo 'kindly' and he did.
'So she is feeling the same as me?'
And we started talking again but this time Jin-ah asked something that caught me by surprise.
"…Is it a date?" I choked on my snacks.
Haru then gave me a glass of water and patted my back which helped me calm down. I didn't know what to say if think about it.
It is similar to a D-Da-Date.
'What am I going to do now?' I was panicking again.
"Are you alright?" he asked while looking a bit worried. And I just forgot what I was thinking and just nodded while looking away. He then went to change his clothes.
"It is a date right," Jin-ah said to me.
"N-No it's not." I don't know why but I regret saying that.
"I don't believe you." She said while looking away.
"We are just going shopping, and maybe dinner," I said to her.
"Isn't that what a date is?" she said to me with a blank stare.
"I-is it i-I don't know." I was nervous once again.
I saw her shaking her head.
Then Haru came out of his room.
After he changed his clothes into a black t-shirt, a white bomber jacket with black stripes on the sleeves, and black pants. With his hair now tied in his usual high ponytail.
"Ok, let's go Hae-in," he called out to me.
"When will come back, Haru" Jin-ah asked him.
"I'll be back by 7 p.m," he replied to her while wearing black shoes.
"So behave while you are home ok." He said to Jin-ah patting her head. Her face turned red as she looked away pouting.
And we left the house together and took a taxi to coex mall that is at Seoul Gangnam-gu Yeongdong-daero 513.
