#26 "Because we're dumb in love"
When you like someone, you tend to exaggerate everything about that person.
"Look at my crush. He's my co-worker and he really looks like Brad Pitt!" (Y/n) boasted a picture of her male co-worker to her friends.
After seeing his picture, her friends commented, "Girl, he's indeed handsome but he doesn't look like Brad Pitt."
On the other side...
"Look at her guys, she really looks like Angelina Jolie," Seungcheol showed (Y/n)'s picture to his friends.
"Bro, she's cute but she's too far from Angelina Jolie."
See? Being in love makes you exaggerated especially towards the person's physical appearance.
"Good morning (Y/n)," Seungcheol shyly greeted (Y/n) in front of their office. He was giggling, scratching his nape though its perfectly fine.
"Good morning Seungcheol," (Y/n) responded in sweet thin voice that is far from her original tone. As she smiled from ear to ear, a little green onion leaves was spotted between her teeth.
Seungcheol saw it and his eyes widened. "Oh?" He pointed it out of concern. "There's something between your teeth."
(Y/n)'s face turned pale. "Huh?" She quickly checked her reflection through her phone's screen. Finding out the embarrassing truth, she removed it after facing the other direction. 'Omg! This is so embarrassing!' She shouted inwardly.
However, she didn't know that Seungcheol's head were filled with weird thoughts like: 'awww she's cute. How to be an onion leaves?'
While looking from behind, Seungcheol accidentally farted out loud. "Pooooot~"
There's a moment of silent. After few seconds, his fart smelled around.
'Omg! My fart smell bad!' He gasped inside his head. But on the contrary, (Y/n)'s thoughts are different.
'Even his fart smells so sweet. Awww~' (Y/n) commented in her mind.
The looked at each other and giggled in shyness.
Falling in love will make you blind, deaf, mute, and most of all... DUMB.
One day, (Y/n) overheard her workers conversation. They were talking about their ideal type. Because she wasn't interested, (Y/n) jolted forward. However, one word made her stopped.
"Seungcheol's ideal girl is really impossible to find. He said that he likes someone who resembles Angelina Jolie. Where would you find such a person around?" They laughed.
'He likes... A girl as pretty as Angelina?' (Y/n) gasped. She stared blankly as the thing she just heard stole her hope and left sadness.
At the other part of the company, Seungcheol also overheard his female coworkers gossips.
"(Y/n) said that she likes a man who resembles Brad Pitt. Lol!"
'B-Brad P-Pitt?' Seungcheol reeled after their remarks.
Thinking that they aren't each other's ideal type, the two went sulky for the whole day. They didn't know that the misunderstanding main root is their exaggerated compliments!
The clock strikes at 8pm. Employees were going out of the company building one after another. Tomorrow is a holiday and some decided to play tonight.
Seungcheol just stepped out of the building, inhaling for fresh air. At the same time, (Y/n) stood meters away from him. She inhaled to get some fresh air but because the trash bin is at her side, it was a mission failed. "Yuck!" She complained. Seungcheol heard her voice and looked quickly. He opened his lips, but no words came out. Probably because he remembered her ideal type.
As if they were sharing the same brain cells, (Y/n) too were thinking about Seungcheol's ideal type.
"Tess," she clicked her tongue. "I really hate guys who solely based on physical appeara..." She couldn't finish her sentence when her eyes met him.
The wind blew, lifting an empty plastic bag from the ground towards her face. "Ackkk!" screamed caused by the plastic slap.
"Ohhh! (Y/n)!" He's to the rescue, getting the plastic off from her face. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah," she murmured.
Something awkward came to them as they quickly moved backward from each other. He searched for the right thing to say but, "Tomorrow is holiday," was the only topic he can drop.
Setting her eyes downward, (Y/n) repeated her response, "Yeah."
Time is ticking slow. As the night deepens in every seconds, Seungcheol and (Y/n) were in a process of finding out how they would start the conversation or just sadly end it.
"Well, I'm going now," (Y/n) bid her farewell at last.
"O-Okay. Take care on your way home."
"Hmmm."
Seungcheol faced the East while (Y/n) faced the West. They parted ways, sighing.
"Hey Angelina Jolie!" A guy called (Y/n) and blocked her way. Seungcheol who also heard it, stopped his pace to look back. From a great distance, he saw their other co-worker, Dokyeom.
"Angelina?" (Y/n) questioned while pointed herself in disbelief. "Who? Me?"
"Of course!" Dokyeom pouted his lips. "In my eyes, you're as pretty as Angelina Jolie."
"Don't kid around," (Y/n) laughed at thus absurdness. "I'm too far from her. Stop saying nonsense."
"That's not fair," Dokyeom complained. "You always said that Seungcheol looks like Brad Pitt when he's not. What's our difference? Both of our eyes have something wrong on it. Right?"
(Y/n)'s eyes rounded! She isn't sure if Seungcheol is still near! She really wanted to look back and check but, she can't. She really can't.
"Anyway, tomorrow is holiday. Wanna go grab some beer and chicken?" Dokyeom offered. He grabbed her wrist without hearing her response. "Let's go~"
However, a man from the back pulled her hand from Dokyeom's grip.
"Oh?" Dokyeom gasped after he looked back.
"S-Seungcheol," (Y/n) called the name of the man who's tightly holding her wrist.
"What are you doing Seungcheol?" Dokyeom asked.
With his serious cold gaze, Seungcheol answered. "Back off. This is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's business." Then he pulled her away~
