Chapter 33

Deja Vu Part 1

Hi guys!

I am so sorry for the wait. I know I was supposed to post it on Friday but there was a reunion dinner going on in the evening so I didn't got the chance to post the story up.

Anyways, enough chit chat. Let the story do the talking! XD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Yes Junsu, I will definitely be seeing you this Saturday”

“My answer will be Yes, I would love to go out with you”

(pause)

“Yo Loverboy! Saturday is ON! Freaky-freaky say what?!”

Ri In cracked up at her rapper attempt and quickly covered her mouth, muffling her laughter. She was alone in the staff’s washroom and was practicing in front of the mirror for the past ten minutes. “The last one is a big no-no!” she told herself as she washed her hands and checked her make-up in the mirror. It was a good thing no one entered while she was clowning around. If Nadine was here, she would have laughed her head off. After doing a final check on her appearance she left the washroom and walked to the direction of the Art studio. Okay, so she admit that she was a bit charmed with Junsu’s kind act and at the same time afraid of starting to get involve…again.

“Involve? That’s an unusual choice of word. You’re making it sound as if you’re having an affair with him” Nadine had told her.

Ri In sighed as she turned to the right and skidded to a stop, almost bumping into Yoochun. “Heading to the Art Studio?” he asked as they walked together.

Ri In nodded. “I thought I drop by early to give Nadine and her students a hand” she told him. She then noticed the book that Yoochun was holding. She remembered the time where Yoochun had came up to her and asked if the book was available in the school library.

“You haven’t finish…reading that?” Ri In asked, pointing to the novel. Yoochun held up the book and nodded. “I did actually, I felt like reading it again” he told her.

“I see. Well, I’ll see you at the gathering later” Ri In said but Yoochun stopped her.

“Wait. I..actually came from the library and the senior told me that she could not find this journal I was looking for. And I was hoping you…could help me get it since you’re well-known for being efficient” Yoochun told her.

Ri In laughed. “Flattery won’t get you anywhere Mr. Park” she said, crossing her arms.

Yoochun chuckled. “So you’re not going to help me then?” he asked, though Ri In noticed his murky eyes. Ri In wondered what is it that was making him depressed but that was the least of her problems now.

“Sure, I’ll help you” Ri In said. “What journals are you looking for, and you have to be specific because there are—
“More than 100,00 sources in the database” Yoochun continued for her. “I still remember that” he said as they walked back to the library.

Ri In’s mind went blank for a while but she gave him a small smile as she pushed the doors opened and headed straight behind the counter. There were a few students at the study area and the Senior was somewhere making sure the students were well-behaved.

“So what exactly are we looking for?” Ri In asked, typing on the keyboard and accessing the database. Yoochun gave her the journal title and Ri In start clicking and typing away hoping the database will cooperate and help her find what she was looking for. She was aware that Yoochun kept throwing glances at her even though he was reading the novel.

It reminded her of the time when there was only the two of them in the library and Ri In was busy keying in the new books and Yoochun was sitting on the counter, grading his students’ papers. When he made sure that no one was watching, he leaned forward and nuzzled Ri In’s right ear.

“Ri In?” Yoochun’s voice suddenly broke into her reverie. Ri In turned to him with wide eyes. “What?” she asked.

“Umm..you’re flinching…at something” Yoochun pointed out. Ri In unconsciously scratched her right ear and gave him a weak smile. “I did? Do I? Haha” she said and focused her attention on the computer.

There were a few lists of journals that Yoochun had mentioned and Ri In cleared her throat. Yoochun frowned slightly at her. “I think..my ear..it itches” Ri In quickly told him. “By the way, there are three of your journals that are located in this city and one of them is available at some…antique bookstore?” she said.

Yoochun tapped his chin and thought about it. Ri In took the time to register what just happened. Okay, so Yoochun the Romancer’s magic is starting to take over—again. And it was starting to creep her out. She can still feel the way he whispered to her ear, telling her to take a break and head to the store room for a “quickie”.

“Oh yuck..what was I thinking?” Ri In muttered as she tapped her index finger on the mouse. “Thinking of what?” Yoochun suddenly asked.

“Have you thought about it? The journal? Are you getting it?” Ri In asked, switching subjects. She took out her planner from a drawer and flipped to a clean page, waiting for Yoochun’s answer.

“Yeah definitely..oh wait. Don’t bother getting it for me. I’ll personally go down to the bookstore and get it for myself” Yoochun told her.

“Oh yeah. You will read the journal first and then see if it’s suitable for the students’ reading” Ri In blurted out, switching off the computer.

Yoochun looked a bit surprised hearing her say that and Ri In quickly looked at her watch. “OH! Look at the time. I better go. Nadine’s expecting me” she said and hurriedly left the counter and marched to the door.

“Ri In!” Yoochun called out to her. At the same time someone else called out to her and her heart went to her throat when she saw Junsu strolling down the corridor. “Man, he looks good” Ri In thought watching him walking with his hands in his pockets and grinning at her. Junsu wasn’t wearing his blazer and tie and he had his sleeves rolled up.

“Hey Ri In, I was in the Art studio and Nadine told me---oh hey…Hyung, you’re..here as..well” Junsu said with uncertainty, his eyes darting from Ri In and Yoochun.

“Ri In was helping me out with something” Yoochun replied casually. “I’ll see you two at the housewarming party later” he said and walked off.

Ri In and Junsu watched him disappeared down the corridor. Ri In faced Junsu who was gritting his teeth and was looking uncomfortable. “Junsu? Junsu..are you okay?” Ri In asked, waving her hand in front of his face.

Junsu nodded and then glanced at her up and down. “Wow..I like what..you’re wearing” he commented her.

Ri In looked down at the light brown paisley mesh blouse with the three-quarter sleeve and her black knee-length skirt. Nadine had gotten her the blouse when the first time they met at the airport. “I got it from a store back at Mexico..I call it my Lucky store..cause anything I buy from there, gives me luck. I hope luck will shine down on you one day” Nadine had told her.

“What are you saying? I look like this everyday” Ri In pointed out as they strode side by side to the studio.

Junsu shook his head and chuckled to himself. “But I don’t get to see you everyday” he told her.

Ri In had a hard time swallowing when she heard him saying that. “Junsu..I…”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to go out with me tomorrow. I’m not forcing you” Junsu spoke up, looking at her straight in the eyes.

“I would love to go out with you” Ri In told him.

“That’s okay, I understand, I ---- wait. What did you say?!” Junsu spluttered, grabbing her arm. He hastily let go when Ri In scowled at his sudden act.

“Mi..Mianhe” Junsu apologized, looking down and scratching the back of his head. “I take back what I said” Ri In snapped at him, walking faster.

Junsu caught up with her and Ri In laughed at his pitiful state. They stopped right outside the studio, with Ri In still laughing.

“Please don’t make that face tomorrow!” Ri In begged, slapping his arm. She stopped laughing and saw Junsu grinning at her.

“l’ll pick you up tomorrow at ten” Junsu told her as he opened the door to the studio.

“So early? Where are we going?” Ri In wanted to know.

“It’s a secret” Junsu whispered, letting her enter the studio first.

Ri In gave him a curious stare but Junsu winked t her. She wondered what kind of surprise Junsu has up his sleeves.
