Indifferent Vibe

Haewon did her best to keep her thoughts off Jake as she focused on her lecture that morning, and the moment her class ended, she decided to leave without giving Jake a call. She would simply return his text later in the day.

As though Jake had read her mind, his call came in at that very moment, and Haewon's heart skipped a beat.

Without hesitating for a second, she received his call, "Hey!"

"Did you receive my text? I missed your response. If I didn't see your car earlier, I would have thought you weren't in school," He said, and she sighed inwardly.

"I woke up late and was in a hurry to get to class. My class just ended, and I'm about to leave," She said, not minding that she had just lied to him.

Of course, there was no way she could admit to him that she had deliberately chosen not to respond to his text or call him.

"So, you're going home now?" Jake asked curiously, wondering why she had failed to return his text or call him.
