"Hi Song Ji Hun, didn't expect to run into you"
A girl Song Ji Hun's age, beautifully dressed in a red short skirt and white full sleeved top, greeted him.
It took a second for Kiaraa to recognize this girl as one of her super seniors. Now she recollected, two of the guys in her gang have a huge crush on this girl named Mi Cha.
"We didn't run into you, you came to greet us" Kiaraa reminded the girl as she was offended for not being greeted upon.
That was when Mi Cha's eyes, which were only soughting for Song Ji Hun, looked at the girl who was elegantly sitting across from him.
"Whatever" Mi Cha arrogantly ignored Kiaraa's comment and looked at Song Ji Hun, "How come you are here?"
"Hanging out with a friend" Song Ji Hun kept his reply short.
"My dad is currently having an important business meeting with some foreign delegates. He brought me along to introduce me to them and after we were done, I was roaming around to check this place, and was happily surprised to see you here" Mi Cha explained herself.
"Good to know" Song Ji Hun couldn't avoid her as she was his current project partner and neither could he entertain her as this was his private time with Kiaraa.
"Hope you don't mind if I join" Mi Cha hopefully looked at the guy, who was trying his best to not show his discomfortness.
"Well I am not sure about him, but I definitely mind." Kiaraa, who still didn't forget Mi Cha's arrogant reply, was waiting to get back at her.
"And why would I care even if you mind?" Mi Cha too was equally annoyed with Kiaraa.
It was already upsetting for her to see her crush, Song Ji Hun coming to this place, nicely dressed with a beautiful girl.
On top of that this girl was throwing attitude around.
Mi Cha was not used to having people like Kiaraa around her.
"Because I am the one treating Song Ji Hun to this dinner" Kiaraa informed her.
"That's true" Song Ji Hun immediately backed Kiaraa.
"Oh that's not a big deal. I'll just pay for myself, happy? Or rather I'll pay for all three of us, problem solved" Mi Cha suggested and victoriously smiled at Kiaraa.
"No need, we have enough money to pay for ourselves and to correct what Song Ji Hun said earlier, we are not hanging out here. We actually came on a date, which you are ruining" Kiaraa was very annoyed with this girl so she didn't hold herself back and lied as anyone could sense Mi Cha was into Song Ji Hun and was therefore acting like this.
Kiaraa realised this was the only way to get rid of this girl.
Mi Cha was taken aback hearing what Kiaraa said and clearly looked shattered, "Song Ji Hun, is this true? The last time I asked, you said you were single." Mi Cha looked like she was wronged.
"It is true, at that time I was indeed single. We started dating recently" Song Ji Hun tried to not look flustered while saying these words and tried to live this moment as if this lie is the truth.
"Oh" Mi Cha was not sure what else to say.
"It's okay, don't feel bad. You aren't the only one rejected by him. There were many before you and I am sure there will be many after you. I am the only constant in his life" Kiaraa declared to hurt Mi Cha even more as she didn't like her attitude.
Kiaraa is only used to throwing her attitude around and was never the one to tolerate other people's weight.
"Enough of your nonsense. What are you? Seventeen or Eighteen years old? Don't be so overconfident that you will be the only constant in his life. Change is constant and I am sure someday you will be replaced…"
"She won't be" Song Ji Hun, who had been awkwardly witnessing this drama and was shocked at Kiaraa's declaration finally spoke up.
When Kiaraa was declaring her position in Song Ji Hun's life, he wondered if she is aware of his deep feelings, if her father informed her of his condition of marrying her in the future, if he did something to give away his feelings.
But when he heard Mi Cha trying to show Kiaraa down, he decided to speak up although he prefers avoiding such instances.
His three words were so powerful that Kiaraa and Mi Cha looked at him in surprise.
Kiaraa didn't expect Song Ji Hun to act along her stupidity and to support her.
Mi Cha too didn't expect Song Ji Hun to not give her any face but she wasn't the one to back down so easily, she is one strong personality who only knows how to put people down and was never the one to be on the other side.
"Don't be so confident about the future, Song Ji Hun. We may never know how future shapes up"
"The day I and Kiaraa will get married, we will send you a gift as a remembrance of this day" Song Ji Hun confidently declared and this time Kiaraa was the one, who went speechless.
"Fine, I'll remember it and will see if I receive a gift or not. If either of you get married to other people, I'll be the one sending you the gift as a remembrance of this day" Mi Cha too declared.
"Sure" Song Ji Hun respectfully bowed to her and Mi Cha walked away from there.
"I am so sorry, Song Ji Hun for picking a fight with her but I loathed her attitude, so I couldn't help it. But why the hell did you make such a strong declaration?" Kiaraa asked him after ensuring Mi Cha was away and not eavesdropping on them.
"I was just annoyed at her behaviour" Song Ji Hun said while drinking water from a glass to calm himself down as today he declared to marry Kiaraa in front of her.
"Yeah, even I was annoyed but you…"
"She had been asking me out for a long time and I was tired of coming up with excuses to avoid her. What happened today will give me peace till either of us get married and by then she will be more matured to take today's incident lightly."
Song Ji Hun's explanation somewhat convinced Kiaraa but she was still feeling a bit anxious.
"What if she takes this matter seriously even in future?" Kiaraa asked them.
"Then let's get married in future to shut her up" Song Ji Hun faintly smiled at her as these words came from his heart.
For a moment, Kiaraa was again in a daze as the sight of this handsome man, smiling so beautifully, asking her for marriage was mesmerizing.
"Kiaraa" Song Ji Hun had to call her name, to pull her out of her daze.
"Huh, what?" Kiaraa looked stunned.
"What do you? Should we get married to shut her up?" He again asked her, completely enjoying her reaction.
Kiaraa felt her throat go dry seeing that beautiful smile and immediately grabbed the glass of water near her and started drinking from it to calm her rapid heart beat.
'What the hell is this Song Ji Hun doing? Is he kidding or is he flirting with me? Why is he doing this? Ahhh it feels so weird' Kiaraa cursed in her heart and finished the glass of water in one gulp.
"You want more?" Song Ji Hun lifted the glass tumbler and asked Kiaraa.
"Yes please" she gulped another glass of water before glaring back at Song Ji Hun, "You are having fun embarrassing me like this, right?"
"Embarassing you?" Song Ji Hun raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yeah, I started all that dating lie to shun that girl and I dragged you in it, embarassing you. So, you prolonged my lie to embarrass me as a revenge" Kiaraa came up with a weird theory making Song Ji Hun laugh harder.
"Fine, you can think whatever that suits you, now shall we focus on our food?" Song Ji Hun said and the next minute a waiter arrived at their table with the sizzling hot food they ordered.
Looking at the food, Kiaraa forgot all her embarrassment and indulged in enjoying it.
Throughout the dinner, Kiaraa and Song Ji Hun shared their future plans with each other.
Kiaraa was impressed to know Song Ji Hun is aiming one of the ivy leagues to complete his MBA from.
After their dinner, like a true gentleman Song Ji Hun dropped her at her home and thanked her for this treat.
"I had a great time, Ms Lee. I hope we can go out for more such dinners"
Kiaraa smiled at this gentlemanly statement and nodded her head, "Likewise Mr Song. Let's plan another dinner soon"
After bidding adieu, Song Ji Hun left for his place and that night he couldn't sleep at all, as he was feeling extremely euphoric.
