The teacher walked out from the practice room.
" It's been a while we danced together," Jisoo said to Haneul.
"Hmm, I don't know if we will be able to show the same chemistry like we had before," Haneul replied.
" Remember, you were dancing and you twisted your leg, so I and Taeha had to take you home?" Jisoo asked randomly.
"Ahh don't make me remember that, I was not able to dance for a week, and you guys teased me for that," He replied.
They were talking and laughing together, but Hyeri was left alone, now Haneul was not bothering her again and again, seeing them together she felt a little anxious.
Hajoon noticed the tension and went to her.
"HeyHyeri, I think Haneul will not bother you that much now. Seems like they already have cleared the air between them."Hajoon said to tease her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"I mean, Is not it good for you that Haneul is not coming after you out of anywhere again and again now ?"
"Hmm," she answered while hesitating.
"Hyeri, I feel you should scold Haneul when he comes to you."Hajoon said mischievously.
"Why would I scold him?"
"For making you feel jealous," he answered.
"But I am not jealous."she replied back.
"Hmm.. probably, but I will scold him for you," he ran saying that to tease her.
She looked at them again, making a long face.
" This is what you needed Hyeri," why are feeling bad now?" She asked herself.
Hajoon then talked to Haneul about Hyeri later.
"Nice plan bro! it's working, making Jisoo jealous with Hyeri and Hyeri with Jisoo."
"What are you talking about?"
"Hyeri was jealous when you were with Jisoo, I thought it was a plan!"
"Wait ... What? I forgot about her." Haneul replied.
"So what about Hyeri now? Are you going to forget about her when you cleared things between with Jisoo?
Wait....Are you expecting Jisoo to fall for you even after what happened years before?"
" Not at all, do you think I will repeat that stupid mistake I made before again?
Listen,I already have moved on, even if she begs to be in a relationship with me in future, I am going to turn her down.
And the reason I accepted to be friends again was because I can't ignore her every where, that's it.
"Ok ok I understood but what are you going to do now?" Hajoon asked.
" I literally don't even want to imagine my future with Jisoo . Also, I want to be with Hyeri , she is a decent girl and she makes me smile when ever I see her so I am going to continue the plan." Haneul replied.
"Ok then, but don't you think you should talk to her? she was upset back then."
After school he went to Hyeri.She was about to leave the class room and Jisoo already went home.
"Hey, I heard you miss me, sorry I was busy today."
" Busy with Jisoo right?" She asked sarcastically.
"Wait... Are you jealous?"he asked while smirking.
"Why would I be jealous,were not you busy for the task with Jisoo," She lowered her tone and eyes saying that.
"Hmm, but the tone was a little...
Forget it anyways.
Let's go.
" Where?" She asked.
"I am hungry, can't eat alone,"he answered while grabbed her wrist and took her with him.
"Tell me what are you craving for," he asked.
"I am good with anything, but can you leave my hands now ?"
"Oh! But I am completely ok with holding hands, he replied while looking into her eyes.
She was getting butterflies inside but also was trying to release her hand. But Haneul was completely in the mood to tease her.
Next day, the practice began, Haneul and Jisoo were trying to figure things out as they decided to do a contemporary couple dance to convey their chemistry better.
But they started awkwardly, when Jisoo was looking into his eyes, he was not able to make eye contact . "
"What are you guys doing? Is this how you are going to perform?
Haneul... you are not even looking at her, first of all you need to maintain a healthy eye contact atleast so that the audience could feel your chemistry." Mr. Cha said.
"Can't we show our chemistry without looking at each other, I mean the people who are blind and can't see each other, can't they have a chemistry?"Haneul asked frustratingly.
Mr. Cha was left with thoughts with the sudden question and left without saying anything.
"Why are you sounding frustrated Haneul?he was right, it's important to make eye contact to show our chemistry." Jisoo said with concern in her tone.
Haneul was so overwhelmed at that moment,he was not able to do anything and at the top of that Mr. Cha scolded him for the first time in those two years.
So he just asked for some time to Jisoo and went out for some air.
He came back after sometime and asked Jisoo to start practicing individually before, but Jisoo was not sure with that Idea so she said," It is a couple dance don't you think we should practice together."
"Ok ...but let's work on the steps first and the eye contact part later,"he replied.
She had no other choice so she just nodded as an answer.
Then they started practicing together without any problems until the dispersal.
Hyeri invited Jisoo to her house the same day.
"Jisoo if you are free, come and have dinner at my place, my grandma asked me to bring my friends someday, she thinks I don't have any friend, so I wanted to introduce you to her."
"Really! can I come?" Jisoo asked.
"Hmm," she answered.
"Can I come too," Haneul suddenly came and asked.
You? But...
Before Hyeri could say anything Jisoo exclaimed,"that's great! " can he come with us too?
Hyeri answered,"ok" hesitatingly.
They went to her house together, her house was not so small but it needed a lot of renovation.
Haneul and Jisoo felt bad for her since they got to know that she only have her grandmother in her family.
They alll went in, they greeted as they entered the house.
"Oh dear, you came with your friends today!" Her grandmother exclaimed.
" See, I told you I have friends," Hyeri replied.
After the dinner, Hyeri showed her house to them, she took them in her room then, her room was neet and clean.
There was a photoframe with her parents in it .Jisoo took it in her hands and said, "your mother is pretty just like you Hyeri ".
"My grandma always say that to me that I look a lot like my mother," she replied.
While Jisoo was looking at the picture, the faces looked familiar to her.
Hyeri's grandmother was was washing dishes in the basin at that time, the sound of water droping was clear, since the kitchen was near.
While holding the photo frame, the tip...tip...water sound was hammering inside her head.
That rainy day, the car- about to crush her but getting into the accident to avoid any fatal to her and that couple's faces with blood all over their body, suddenly triggered her memory , she started shivering and covering her ears to avoid that tip ..tip... sound.
"Jisoo are you ok? Is it that again?" Haneul asked with a concern in his tone.
He asked Hyeri to bring some water.
As she went out, Jisoo asked Haneul,"Please take me away from here," with tears in her eyes.
He immediately took her out of the house without even informing Hyeri, when she came in with a glass of water no one was there.
Jisoo was shaking Haneul hold her, after he walked with her a little further, she stopped and said while crying.
"It was them Haneul, it was Hyeri's parents, they died because of me."
She kept on saying that so Haneul hold her tight in his arms to comfort her.
"Calm down Jisoo,It was not your fault,they were the one who broke the traffic signals , stop blaming yourself."
"Only If I didn't go to pick that keyring up that day , they might have still be alive. It's all because of me . Hyeri had to grow up without parents because of me."
