Part 3 - Reading in the Courtyard
“Hey, what are you doing out here?” she asked. “I thought you had gym.”
“We do, but I wasn’t feeling too good, so I decided to skip.” He looked around nervously “What about you, why aren’t you in class?”
Seohee wasn’t sure what to say, so she just told the truth. “I’m exempt from gym class.”
“Exempt?” Myungsoo was surprised. “Wow, you must really be special to get exempt from gym. Even all of us idols have to take gym class.”
“You’re an idol?” she asked surprised by his comment.
Myungsoo nervously giggled “Yeah.” He nervously fiddled with his phone.
“If you’re not feeling well, you should probably sit down” she said as she patted the ground next to her. “That or go to the infirmary.”
Myungsoo looked at her and said “Are you sure you don’t mind? I wouldn’t want to disturb you.”
“Not at all” she smiled “Take a seat! It’s nice and cool in the shade.”
Myungsoo walked over to the tree slowly and sat down beside her. “What are you reading?”
She held up the book for him to see “The complete works of William Shakespeare” she smiled.
Myungsoo was shocked “Wow! You must love plays and poetry.”
Seohee chuckled “It’s a great book” she paused for a moment “to fall asleep to.”
Myungsoo looked at her and they both started laughing. “Then why are you reading it?”
Seohee looked at the book with melancholy “It’s one of the things on my ‘to do’ list.”
Myungsoo was stumped by her statement, but brushed it off. “Where are you at?”
“I just started Romeo and Juliet” she replied.
“Want me to read with you?”
“Huh?”
“It might not be so boring if you have someone to read with” Myungsoo suggested.
Seohee smiled and said “Thank you, I’d like that.”
Myungsoo pulled the book closer and they both began reading the lines.
ROMEO
[To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
JULIET
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
ROMEO
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
JULIET
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
ROMEO
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
JULIET
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
ROMEO
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged.
JULIET
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.
ROMEO
Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!
Give me my sin again.
JULIET
You kiss by the book.
“No I don’t” Myungsoo said and then leaned closer and kissed her.
Seohee was taken by surprise as the bell rang, sounding the end of class. “We should go” she stuttered as she stood up and then ran off.
Myungsoo sat under the tree for a few more minutes before returning to the classroom. As he walked over to his desk, Minhyuk asked him “Where were you?”
Myungsoo shrugged his shoulders and took his seat. He placed the book down in front of Seohee and whispered “You forgot this.”
She looked down at the book and blushed “Thank you.”
“I guess you probably don't want to read together anymore” he blushed.
“Actually,” she looked over at him and said “I’d like to read together again.” He turned to look at her in surprise and she blushed.
“Really?”
“Yeah” she said “Only next time no kiss scenes.”
Myungsoo and her both blushed a little more and chuckled. “Okay, deal” he smiled.
Hoya overheard their conversation and felt defeated. Kiss scene? They kissed? Does Myungsoo like her too?
Class ended and they all packed up. “You want to grab a cup of coffee?” Myungsoo asked Seohee.
She quickly glanced at her watch and said “I’m sorry. Maybe another time.”
“Promise?” Myungsoo raised his eyebrows.
Seohee giggled “Promise.” Then she smiled as she waved “Bye.”
“Man she is cute” Minhyuk said as he sat next to Myungsoo. “Did you get her number?”
“No” Myungsoo stated plainly.
“Are you crazy? You should have gotten it!”
“Why?”
Minhyuk smiled slyly and put his arm around Myungsoo’s shoulder “So you could share with your friends.”
Myungsoo lifted Minhyuk’s arm off his shoulder and said “Even if I did get her number, I wouldn’t share it with you.”
“Why not?”
Myungsoo stood up and said “Because you are too much of a player.” Then he walked away.
