127 Chapter 127 (1/2)

”Not really,” said Suji in an offhand manner, but she didn't push Hyunwoo's arm off her shoulder. She seemed not to care about it at all. Hyunwoo didn't feel that way. Though she had thick clothes, he couldn't feel anything in particular, but he felt something warm in his heart, and he felt the scent of perfume on her hair was unusually strong.

Suddenly Suji asked, ”Do you like it?”

”Uh? What are you talking about?”

”I mean, do you feel good if you put your arm around my shoulders like this?”

Hyunwoo felt a p.r.i.c.k in his heart, but he had no reason to feel so. She was just asking, knowing already that he liked it. Then, he had no reason to hesitate in expressing his genuine feelings.

”Well, I feel like my heart is full. I don't feel cold at all.”

”Gee. Your hands must be cold.”

Suji raised her hand and held the hand that was around her shoulders.

”Wow, your hands are warm. I hear someone whose hands are warm is also warm-hearted.”

Suji looked at Hyunwoo, and at the same time, Hyunwoo looked at her.

Suji's beautiful face was s.h.i.+ning in his eyes.

At that moment, he choked up. If he had his way, he would like to press her tightly to his chest, but Suji was walking ahead, turning her head.

Letting out a sigh Hyunwoo looked ahead. Parting with her, Hyunwoo went back home and sent her a text message.

After he sent it, he waited for her reply but didn't get one.

Maybe she's in the shower or already in bed?

Going into his bedroom, Hyunwoo closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. He could still smell Suji's fragrance and feel her warmth.

Can I ask for a date this weekend again?

She might be waiting for his request for a date, too.

He regretted not asking her before they parted.

Shall call her now to set the date?

He looked at his watch. It was almost midnight.

Too late to call, he thought.

”Let me call her tomorrow morning.”

When he thought of meeting her on the weekend, he felt much better.

”Tomorrow will take care of itself. Let me wrap up today.”

Hyunwoo sat before the computer the way he always did and checked out N&C Korea Cafe before surfing Story Mecca.

Recently, Hyunwoo's main focus was on Tuti & Angelica. He found a student voice actor, finished the dubbing and uploaded the first episode with the plan to upload a new episode every week.

”How many people have visited this site?” Hyunwoo stopped his mouse suddenly, ”What the heck is this? Wow, so many visitors!”

Even though it was the first episode, there were more than 5,000 visits already.

Of course, the first episode of a popular work boasted tens of thousands.

Ani & Funny was just a start-up animation company with no name in Story Mecca, but it was very unusual that the first episode of a new work by an unknown company to have such a large number of visits.

What's more surprising was that more than 900 people had clicked 'like'. It was almost 10% of a popular work's numbers. On the other hand, there were only nine who clicked 'dislike' b.u.t.ton.

While surfing Story Mecca, he noticed an unusual nickname.

”Noyenam? Who coined such a nasty screenname?”

It was not just the screen name. The comments were pretty much annoying.

It looked like the person was a so-called hater.

Checking out the person's comments, the readers were blaming the writer for the miserable condition of the main character, Angelica. Even though they didn't use any foul language, they seemed to be trying to offend the writer.

Hyunwoo giggled at that, ”There are all sorts of peculiar readers here as there are so many of them.”

The following morning, Hyunwoo called Suji at her convenient time, but her reply was disappointing.

”How could I? I've got an appointment. I'm available the day after tomorrow.”

”See you, Sunday.”

He felt dejected. Obviously, he was too eager about his date with her.

Suddenly, he didn't know what to do. At that moment he thought of Sohn Sungrak and Moon Juhwan who were supposed to fly to Vietnam next Tuesday. They would be staying at least one week.

Hyunwoo drove his van to the warehouse. While he was waiting for the traffic light to turn to red, he saw Suji running somewhere hurriedly.

He was just glad, so he was about to get out and shout her name, but he had to shut his mouth quickly because she stopped in front of a young man. He had an expensive foreign sports car with him. At a glance, it looked like a car worth hundreds of millions of won.

The young man opened the door of the pa.s.senger seat for her, and with a broad smile, she hopped in the car.
