END VS ENDLESS

Previously,

"I wanted to ask you something for so long but you weren't available so I couldn't. What was the relationship between you and Eva?" asked June.

Continue,

"Why asking suddenly?" Ryan's sight filled with uncertainty.

"Come on, I'm not blind. What do you take me for?" June shrugged with annoyance. "The way she would always ignore seeing directly to your eyes, it's all clear."

"You sure you didn't have any relation?" Ryan's one eyebrow raised with an evil smirk.

"And she is your ex still with feelings, isn't she?" She replied with the same gesture.

"Sigh, she is not my ex but she was my classmate in middle school," he landed his body on the bed. "But indeed she had feelings for me. But I rejected her at that time. Seems like she still couldn't get over her feelings."

"Hmmm....but she ignores you why do you keep pushing her? Are you chasing her?"

"Pfff, shut up," He laughed at her while she was wary about her sight. "What? I'm sleepy now get out..."

She gets up, stomped walked out, and slammed the door. It surprised Ryan for a moment that he kept staring at the door for a while. Then he sighed. He lounges on his chair and looked at the window, arose in his thoughts again.

[Next day]

Students are coming out from the Journalism department as they have finished their classes. June and Sarah came out while discussing their lecture.

"June..." a distinctive girl's voice shook the air from afar.

June and Sarah looked at the side and saw Eva standing there waving her hands to them. They looked at each other all baffled. What a harsh appearing!! The girl who's endeavoring not to entangled with them is suddenly approaching willingly.

"Can we talk somewhere else besides our cafe? It's very busy these days so we won't be able to talk there." Eva's sudden friendly smile dumbfound the two hesitant girls.

[At a restaurant]

A four-star restaurant with a delightful flourish decoration. They thought it would be a girl-to-girl talk but an Eva made them more skeptical as she add Owen.

"I know our sudden approach is pessimistic for you as we are not on good terms," Eva took a deep breath. "But this time we want help from you."

"For what?" June didn't believe their words. She knew there should be some motives but she thought if you want to know the wave direction you have to go with it first.

Although, all the things they told them proven true but all the actions they have done so far aren't something one can let go of easily. Whether they have ulterior motives or not 't define them as trustworthy to June.

"Actually, we just needed some information about a professor Mr.Kim," Eva tried her best to speak friendly. She points at Owen, "His big brother Dae-sung hyung, needed some help from him. But we don't have information about him. So can you...?"

"You could have to go to anyone like your friend or the office, why did you come to us?" June said while playing with the glass.

"Because the professor was from this department before moving to another university and we don't have anyone in this department that we can ask help from," Eva smiled. "We just needed his number and address."

"If you came to us then you had better choose a perfect lie," June sneered. "I know you don't have any other way except to take the stick and that's why you approached us, didn't you?"

Owen and Eva gulped. "So.... you won't help us...?" Owen ensured the curtain.

June and Sarah stood up and walked out. Before stepping out June turned back and said to them, "Don't try to steal, I guess it's not your thing."

Eva ordered two coffee and leans her head on her hands. Owen breathes out a heavy air.

June and Sarah are wandering on the half-witted road sipping juice. It rained yesterday night so the air is still cooler. Sharing the same brain cells they are thinking about this matter. Something suddenly peeped in June's thought and she stopped in the middle.

"Ah, sh*t...I forgot to bring Mia's notebook from the library," she brushed her head as she wrinkled her face, "You go first I'll be back."

"Ok," Sarah head back.

Meanwhile, Owen and Eva got depressed finding no way there. They tried to find who those thugs tried to attach them the other day and why were they behind that professor. They tried to contact Dae-sung's friends but they are not responding. Everything implies Dae-sung must be in danger. But the most suspecting fact is what is it or who is it that made the police hold back.

There are endless questions they needed to answer yet they were standing in front of the wall that says it was the end of their path.

[Library site]

June hurried to walk to the library when she gets a call. She receives it after reaching there.

"Yes, mother," she spoke normally so that her mother doesn't acknowledge her hurry.

"June, do you have time in the evening?" she formally inclined.

"Why mother?" she asked while searching for her notebook around the table she sat before. While searching she got herself under the table.

"Elena spends her time lonely after coming back to the school," Mrs.Young sympathized. "She doesn't get out of her room. She seems normal but I can say she is having a hard time. But she finds you comfortable the most. Can you come back earlier today and take her for a walk?"

On the other hand, Noah was working on his assignments in the library. He collected a bunch of books from different shelves and sat down right where June was searching under the table. He plopped them on the table and started reading when he gets a call.

"Hello," he receives.

"Noah, I talked with June and..." Eva started explaining everything to Noah on the phone.

"Ok, mother I'll try to come home earlier," June sat down under the table without realizing someone was sitting on the chair behind her. While Noah jolt out realizing something or someone was under the table as June's back touched Noah's shinbone.

"Uh, yeah...I knew you are such a terrible liar," he tried to find what is it under the table by oscillating his hands which made him struggle to speak on the phone. "Look...even a person...just met you find out your lie."

Now June noticed someone sitting behind as his hands touched her cheek. She unconsciously pulled his hands as she was annoyed but didn't notice she was sitting under the table and he fell from the chair.

Noah and June's faces were as close as they could ever think of. But both of them didn't ruin their mood on phone. Both of them ended with the same conversation, "Yeah, I understood."

Time skipped some moment for them. They were stunned by the moment and stared at each other. They thought they finds the best weird side of each other.

[June's POV]

{I don't know about others but that was the first time I saw someone had a face that suits every emotion. I saw his surprise, anger, disgusted, bored, and annoyed with every negative reaction. At that time I wouldn't even give it any importance but it wasn't possible to ignore.

There wasn't any reaction that would look ugly on his face. Now that I think about it I really want to see how it would look when he would laugh or smile to his heart's content with that cool face of his.

I was very annoyed with him of how arrogant was he. There was no way I would be thinking in his favor But somehow it didn't feel irritating I see his perfect face from that close that any girl wants to see.}

"What are you doing here?" Noah wrinkled his face.

"W-Why are you here?" she spoke unknowingly as she forgot what was she doing here.

"Do you think you are in your private library?" He straightens his face. "Why are sitting there? Are you talking about some secret missile file or spying on mosquito?"

"I-I..it's not...I don't...this...I.." what can she even say when she, herself was puzzled.

It was funny to see her all puzzled like this as it doesn't suit her personality. He understood immediately she was sitting there unknowingly. He tried to hold back his laughter, it would be a disaster right now if they are not in a good term and she also refused to help them.

"What are you exactly doing here?" He asked with the same straight face with annoyance.

She stared at him as if she was expecting the answer on his face.

"Ahem.. this not park to do this stuffs you know," someone interrupted in the brain process inside June's brain standing behind Noah.

They looked at the way of the voice owner who was no other than the librarian. Their face immediately turned into disgust and irritation that anyone can see through them and tell what terms of relationships they have with each other.

However, they were kicked out by her because they were making noises and disturbing others. But Noah has to complete his assignments tomorrow. He was wandering around for Dae-sung so he couldn't manage the time to do his assignments. Now he has to meet the deadline.

" Nothing goes right whenever I meet you. Why do I have to always encounter you in the very moment?" he aggrieved. "Ahhhh!" He screams with anger," Now tell me how should I finish this without those books?"

"Why are you making a fuss for nothing?" she shrugged. "Just go to your friends, copy their notes and submit it, simple."

"Listen, first, I or we don't have a lot of friends that I can ask for this kind of help and that's why Eva went to you asking for help," he stated. "Second, I don't like copying or cheating. So make it sure before pointing your fingers out."
