Atashi To Issho Ni Kono H (1/1)

The moment after Alice’s confession to Claire, Alice started to ignore Claire. It made a big hit to everyone. The ladies’ situation made the boys worried. Claire told Soohyun that he will tell Eli what happened but Soohyun disagree. He told her that let them know each other’s feelings from now on. At the girls’ dorm, “I’m leaving.” Claire was standing in Alice’s closed door waiting for a response but as expected, no response for her. “Claire-ah, please let Alice to rest more.” Joohyun patted her back. “I know she will understand your reason.” Claire sighed and left. “Alice-ah, Claire already left. You can open your door now.” Then Alice opened the door. “Where is she going?” “She said she accepted the pictorial for endorsement of a clothing company.” “Did she drink her medicine?” “Yes” “How was she? Does she look healthy? Are she well prepared for the pictorial?” “Why you didn’t ask her when she was here awhile ago?” Joohyun looked at Alice eye to eye. “Alice-ah, it’s better if you look for the answer on your own.” “But Joohyun-eonni—” “I’m not pertaining for the questions that you are asking me right now, but the questions your eyes asking me.” Then Joohyun gave her a warm smile. “Thanks Joohyun-eonni.” Then Alice smiled too. xXxXx At the boys’ dorm, “Eli, call Alice now!” Alexander told Eli. “B-b-but, why?!” Eli asked him. “This is the only chance! Claire was not around.” Alexander told him. “It’s now or never, Eli! It’s NOW or NEVER!” “F-f-f-fine!” then Eli called Alice. “She’s not answering it.” “Just wait” “Yeoboseyo?” Alice finally answered. “Ah! A-Alice-ssi.” “hmm?” “Can we talk for awhile?  “Now? Sure, what is it?” “Ah! Eh…” “Ask her for a walk, as her for a walk” Alexander whispered. “C-c-can we walk for awhile now?” Alice stayed quiet for a little bit. “Y-y-you don’t have to agree if you—” “Sure! Just wait for a sec.” “Oh! Thanks!” “I’ll hang up now, see you later, Eli.” Then she hung up. “What the she said?” Alexander asked. “She agreed.” “That’s great! Hey! Everyone! Eli and Alice will date later!” Alexander announced. “W-wait! Hyung!” Eli complained. xXxXx A few minutes after the phone call, Eli and Alice finally met up and took a walk. “Hmm… where’s Claire?” Eli asked the young lady. “Eh? Claire?” So, he likes her, Alice thought. “She’s with Soohyun-oppa and Dongho-ah. They have a pictorial for clothing endorsement.” Alice told him. “Ahh~” then it became awkward between them. “hmm …” they both said. “Oh, you go first.” Eli told her. “No, you go first.” Alice told him. “No, you go” “It’s okay, you can go first.” Alice finalized. A rejection, I want to hear it now, she thought. “Do you … have someone you like?” “Eh?” “Ah! I’m just asking.” Eli waved his hands like he was saying it’s nothing important and smiled at him un-easily. Alice looked at him painfully. Yeah, it’s impossible that he likes me back, she thought. “Yeah … but he likes Claire.” “He likes Claire?” So, I’m rejected, huh? Eli thought. “How about you?” Alice asked. I want to hear it from you, she thought. Eli avoided her eyes. “Yeah … but she likes someone else.” Then he sighed and showed her a sad expression making Alice tore apart. “So, we are in same boat.” Alice smiled at him un-easily. I must make him happy. I don’t want to see him like this, she thought. She didn’t succeed of making him smile because teas went down from her eyes. "Oh? What happened? Did I say wrong?" Eli wiped her tears and it made Alice surprised. "No ... It's nothing." Alice avoided her face and she tried to stop her tears but it kept on falling on its own. "Just give me a sec and I’ll be alright." "Then." Eli pulled Alice and hugged her. "Cry on my shoulder." Eli told her. I don't want you to see like that, he thought. You’re making it harder for me, Eli, Alice thought as she cried harder. xXxXx "Are you okay now?" Eli asked Alice. They were now at the park, sitting on the swing. Alice nodded and smiled bitterly. "Sorry for causing you trouble, Eli-ssi." "No, I must be the one who should say sorry. You cried because I said something." Yeah, it’s because of you,she thought. "Just don't tell everyone what happened." "Yeah." then, it became awkward between them again. "Want something to eat?" Eli looked at Alice. "Hmm ... Sure ..." Alice smiled at him. For the first and last time, she thought "Then let’s go." Eli asked for her hand. I hope this thing I decided to do will make you happy he thought. Alice held on his hand and they started their 'date'. xXxXx Their 'date' started at a bread shop for light breakfast. And then Eli toured Alice at the places he knew. Luckily, they were not notice by the people around them. Time passed by quickly, making them decided to end up their 'date'. At the lobby of the dormitory building, "I’m sorry; we can't go at the amusement park." Eli told Alice. "No, it’s okay. Thanks for the walk" Alice smiled. "I’m going up first." "Wait" Alice stopped walking and she looked at him like asking why. "Ahmm ... I just ... That guy ..." "Ahh, who's the guy I like?" Eli nodded. He’s very dumb, he still doesn't realize,she thought. But, it’s no use anyway, and then she sighed. "That guy is atashi to issho ni kono hi no hito " "Eh?" Alice giggled at him. "I’m leaving then." "But, wai--" Then Alice left. "Aish!" then Eli went back at the dorm. xXxXx At the dorm, Eli found Kibum watching television and went beside him. "Hyung, do you know what atashi issho ni kono hi no to means?'" "What?" "Atashi issho ni kono hi no to" "Do you mean atashi to issho ni kono hi no hito?" "Yeah! That one! That one!" Kibum thought what does means and Eli waited for his answer. "I think that means the person who's with me this day" "The person who's with-- wait that's me!" Eli felt too much happiness because of what he realized. "Wua-- what do you mean?" Kibum looked at him with confusion. "Alice likes me! Alice likes me!" then Eli immediately run out to look for the young lady. "Eh?!" Kibum reacted. xXxXx Eli went to the girl's dorm but Joohyun told him Alice didn't come back since two of them went out. He looked at her around the building but she was nowhere to be found. "Maybe she's there." He went at the park where they stayed awhile ago and his prediction was right, she was there; sitting at the swing and spacing out. "Hey!" Eli went closer to her. "Oh, why are you here?" "I’m the one should ask that." He sat at the swing beside her. "No particular reason, I just want to stay here for awhile." then she looked at her shoes. "Do you want to know who the girl that I like is?" He asked her. "Oh, sure tell me." No need to say, I knew already, she thought. "It’s atashi to issho ni kono hi no hito.” What he said made Alice surprised and stopped. "What did you say?" she looked at Eli who was smiling at her. "I said it's atashi to issho ni kono hi no hito." She blinked her eyes thrice. She can't believe what she heard. "Eli, do you know what are you saying?" "Of course!" He stood up and pulled her to hug her. "I-Love-The-Person-Who's-With-Me-This-Day." He whispered it to her ear making her to cry. "Oh! Why are crying again?" He looked at her eyes. "No, it's nothing." She wiped her tears and smiled at him. "Eli, I really like you." she confessed. "Eh? Why 'like'? I told you that I love you." "That's your punishment for not noticing it early and making me cry." she told him jokingly. xXxXx Meanwhile, "Hyung, call Kibum-hyung again, maybe he'll pick up his phone this time." the worried Dongho told Soohyun. "He still didn't." "What about Kevin-hyung or Kiseop-hyung?" "I’ll try Kiseop, you try Kevin." Then both of them tried to call Kevin and Kiseop. Luckily this time, Kevin picked up the phone. "Dongho-ah, what's the matter?" Kevin asked. "Claire-noona, she collapsed awhile ago. We're at the hospital right now." "What?!" Kevin asked.
