Ice-cream (part 2)
"Crap, crap crap.." Minji mumbled while running. Her new haircut swished around her face. Her backpack jumped up and down her back. She was late for her part time job. Blame it on the extra hours she spent studying in high school library, trying to level up with her classmates because she had been busy practicing her dance routine for the competition which she won 2nd place in, she needed to catch up.
As she burst into the ice-cream parlor, all heads turned to her. She was thankful there were only a few customers present, she bowed to them as an apology. Making her way to the locker room to change from her school uniform to her work clothes. She noticed somebody looking at her, she smiled, then went to the counter to help the other staff serve ice-cream.
She handed out ice-cream to preschoolers, elders and even some businessmen who were craving for some cold sugar. Making sure to smile at every one of them. When business slowed down, she closed her eyes and sighed heavily. She frowned when Dara, her afternoon shift partner poked her arm.
"Minji-ah, someone is staring at you." she whispered at her.
Minji shot her eyes open and sure enough guy was staring at her. It was the guy before. She coughed a little when said person turned away abruptly. She wondered what's up with this guy, warning herself to be careful as she is a teenage girl and that guy looked like he was capable of something dangerous. He was now facing the other side so Minji took the opportunity and peeked at him, a tingling feeling in her stomach. She brushed it off and took a rag to wipe some dried melted ice cream off the counter. It's not until she felt eyes on her again that she notice the previous guy walking straight to her.

Chansung felt weird. He was sitting at one of the seats in the ice cream parlor, a book in his hands. He looked over to the counter, frowning slightly because he came here to see the ice-cream girl, but she wasn't even here. He shook his head. -Why am I doing this? I feel like a stalker.- He felt bored so he started reading the book. Suddenly, someone stomped in front of the entrance made Chansung look up.
It was her, the amazing dancer from yesterday, the ice-cream girl. She looked breathless, as if she just ran a marathon. She realized that people was looking at her so she bowed. -Polite- Chansung thought then he noticed the uniform that she was wearing -A high school student huh?- The girl disappeared to the back and and came out wearing the store's uniform. She noticed Chansung looking at her and she smiled. -Cute smile- He watched her as she served people ice-cream. -She smiles a lot- Chansung decided he should not stare too much so he read his book, occasionally peeking up at her.
He put his book on the table, noticing the people lessening in the store. He stared at the girl again, she had her eyes closed as she breathed in, her cheeks puffed. -kinda cute- A staff poked her. Chansung was so surprised when her eyed shot open and looking directly at him that he quickly looked away, blushing slightly. -Why am I like this? I feel like I wanna talk to her- He made up him mind ant stood up and walked to the counter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Chansung was in front of her. Minji noticed that he was tall, very tall. She had to tilt up her head to look at him. She also noticed that he was handsome, she blushed as she thought that this is the closest she's been to a handsome person let alone talk to them. Chansung saw her blushed. Oh the wonders of being good looking. He smiled a little.
"Hi." he started.
"H-hi." she stuttered.
There was an awkward silence. There weren't anyone buying ice-cream now, the were only a few people at the store. Dara was at the back sorting out the ice-cream packs so Minji was alone at the counter, standing there, looking up at the guy.
"So umm, I noticed you at my college yesterday. The dancing competition?"
"Oh." -So he's a college student-.
"You were great."
"Thank you." She fidgeted, feeling shy.
"Nice hair by the way."
She managed a smile.
Chansung noticed Minji feeling uncomfortable. So he got straight to the point.
"Listen, I don't really know why, but uhh.. I wanna get to know you."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"But why?"
Chansung was searching for an answer. But the silence made Minji doubt him. He saw her frown.
"Wait, I promise you, I am not a stalker nor am I a kidnapper or something." He waved his hands around.
Minji giggled at the sight of the boy flailing.
"I just wanna be friends." Minji saw the sincerity glowing in his eyes.
"Well, okay."
They looked at each other.
"I'm Gong Minji." She held up her hand, gesturing him to shake it.
"Hwang Chansung."
They smiled at each other. Barely noticing the tiny jolt of electricity going through their hand.
