CHAPTER 31
Morning came. You woke up early to get ready for school. After that, you went out from your house to go to school.
Right after you stepped out, a blonde guy popped on you sight. He flash you a smile and walked to you. “Going to school? Let’s go together.” he said.
You look around but Himchan was the only one was there. “Where are your friends?” you asked. “They already went to school.” he replied.
“Why are you still here then?” you asked. “I woke up late that’s why.” he said. “But it’s still early.” you said.
Himchan shook his head, “No, it’s not. It’s already 9:00am.” he calmly said as he pointed on his watch. Your eyes widen, “Omo! My clock is late again. Aish! The school gate will going to close soon.” you whispered and stormed off, leaving Himchan there, dumbfounded.
“Yah! Go Sunmi-ah!” he called the made you stopped and look back at him. He then walked at you and flash you a smile. He reach your hand, “Let’s run together.” and with that, he dragged you to school, holding hands.
You shrugged but he hold it tight.
As both you two got near the school gate, you saw it’s about to close. “Omo! The gate!” you shouted as you and Himchan started to run faster but the gate already closed.
“Aish! It already closed. Eoteokhae?” you whispered. Himchan look down at you then look around. “Let’s jump there.” he pointed to the upper part of the gate.
“Mwo?! No. I can’t.” you snapped. “But that’s the only way to get inside.” he said. “Aish! Okay.. But it’s too high to jump on.” you said.
Himchan stooped down, “Get on. I’ll help you to reach the upper part of the gate.” Your eyes widen, “Mwo?! Adwae! I’m wearing a skirt!” you protested.
“So.. You want to left here huh?” he asked as he look up at you. “No.” you firmly said. “Then get on.” he ordered. “Aish! Be sure that you won’t look up.” you said.
“But how can I see if you already reach the end?” he asked. “Just don’t look up!” you blurted. “Araseo!” he said, “Get on now!”
You slowly put your hands to his shoulder as he started to lift you up. Accidentally, he look up to see if you reach the end but also saw something under your skirt. “Yah! I said don’t look up!” you shouted.
Himchan quickly look down as you were trying to reach the other end. “I like pink.” you heard him whispered.
Your eyes widen, “Yah! You pervert!!!” you shrugged that made you lost your balance and end up falling on top of Himchan.
Your hands were placed on hus broad chest as his hands on your waist. Your both faces were just a few inches near to each other. “Pink suits you..” you heard him said and smirked.
You immediately get off from him and give him a glare and kick him, “Didn’t I say don’t look up huh?” you said as you kick him again. He yelped in pain and carefully stood up, “I didn’t do it on purpose.” he defended himself.
You rolled your eyes, “As if I’ll believe you!” He pouted, “Come on, let’s try again.” he said as he stooped diwn once again. “No. I don’t want to anymore.” you snapped. “Aish! Come on. Promise I won’t look up anymore.” he reach your wrist as he make you get on to him.
You want to protest but he already stood up. You look down at him, “Don’t look up, araseo?!” you said. “Araseo..” he nodded.
Just then, you suddenly reach the other end and finally get inside the school. After that, Himchan jump up and get himself inside the school too.
Himchan immediate took your hand and started to run to the classroom with you.
---
“Omo! The class already started.” you whispered to Himchan. “No worries. I’m so late like you.” he whispered and smiled.
You gave him a look. He smiled again, “Come on, let’s enter tge classroom.” he slowly twisted the door knob as both you two slowly stepped inside.
“Mr. Kim and Ms. Go, why are you two late?” you heard your teacher suddenly said that made Daehyun look at you two, frowning.
*uh.. Caught!* you thought. Your teacher then noticed that you and Himchan holding each other’s hand. “Go on a date before go to school hmm?” your teacher said.
Daehyun shifted his gaze to your and Himchan’s holding hands. *What’s going on?* he thought in puzzlement.
You then noticed that Himchan was still holding your hand. You immediately removed your hand from his and bowed to your teacher, “Mianhe for being late but we—” Himchan cut you off, “Mianhe Seonsaengnim but we are busy on our date that we didn’t notice the time.” Himchan said. You look at him in disbelief.
Daehyun frowned, *They go on a date? But as I know, Himchan woke up late.* he thought. BAP look at you two, shocked.
“Aigoo! Kids these days. You two got detention after class. Go to your sears now.” the teacher said. *Again?* you sadly thought as you headed to your seat.
Himchan also headed to his seat next to Daehyun. He was smiling like a fool that made Daehyun more puzzled.
CHAPTER 32
Class dismissal. You and Himchan went up to your teacher for the detention.
“So.. You two, clean this classroom. Make sure that this classroom is completely clean before you two went home, araseo?” your teacher said. Both you and Himchan nodded and bowed. With that, the teacher left.
Just after the teacher disappeared, BAP walked to the two of you. “Yah! Himchan, why didn’t you tell me that you two are now dating huh?” Yongguk said. “I think he woke up late on purpose.” Youngjae added.
“Ani! We’re—” you want to explain but Himchan wrapped his arm around your shoulder and cut you off, “Because Sunmi don’t want me tell to anyone.” he said.
Your eyes widen in horror. Suddenly, your eyes met Daehyun’s coldly glare. You immediately look away.
“Aish! I’m jealous!” Zelo pouted. “Poor you.” Himchan smirked. “Aish! In all of us, why that pervert?! Psh!” Jongup blurted.
Himchan gave him a look. “Let’s go now guys. We still need to go somewhere.” Yongguk said as the others nodded except for Daehyun. With that, they all leave the classroom as Daehyun left there alone with you two.
Himchan raised an eyebrow, “Why are you still here?” he asked. “I want to help.” he simply said as he smiled at you.
“You don’t need to do that! Sunmi and I can do it together.” Himchan flas you a smile as he pulled you closer to him. You immediately pushed him away from you, “You pervert! Why did you tell them that we’re dating huh?!” you narrowed your eyes to him.
“Wae? That’s the truth, right?” he said. You rolled your eyes, “Truth your face! I’m not dating anyone so stop saying that again!” you said. Daehyun finally brightened.
“Aish!” Himchan took your hand, “Let’s start cleaning while holding hands.“ he smiled and was about to walk to the window to start cleaning it when Daehyun suddenly grabbed your other hand.
You gulped and look at him. Daehyun stared at Himchan as Himchan stared back. *Omo! Here we go again.*
You twisted your both hands to removed from them as you walked to the window and started cleaning it, “I want go now so if you two want to help me, stop wasting the time.” you simply said, trying to break the cold atmosphere between Daehyun and Himchan.
Himchan give Daehyun one last glare before he could help you cleaning. With that, Daehyun also followed.
As you were cleaning, Himchan on the other hand cleaning at your right while Daehyun at your left.
Awkward silence filled the classroom in the whole cleaning thing. No one wants to broke the silence as they continue to clean and so was you.
CHAPTER 33
After finishing the detention, you, Himchan and Daehyun leave the school. You started walking to the way of the shop that you are working at as you felt Himchan and Daehyun followed you.
You stopped and turned aroung to them, “Where are you two going?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.
“We’re going to work.” Himchan simply replied. You raised an eyebrow again as you turned to Daehyun. You saw him nodded in agreement.
“You guys does have a job?” you asked once again. They nodded as they walked passed by you. You turned to them and frowned.
You watch them walking and to your surprised, you them entered the shop that you are working at. *What’s going on?* you asked yourself.
You immediately darted to the shop. Another surprise popped on your sight. Himchan and Daehyun were already started to approach the customers and not just that, all the BAP are there, working at the shop. As they saw you, they give you a smiled and winked.
You frowned as you turned to see your manager smiling at the sight. You walked to him, “What’s going on here?” you asked him. “What?” he asked, pretending not to know.
You nodded to the direction of BAP, “What are they doing? Why are they here?” you asked, confused. “Uh.. That! I hired them to work for this shop. Look! They doing good. The shop became full when your friends started to works here. Thanks to you, they work for me.” you manager said.
“Aish! I’m going to work now sir.” you said as you changed your clothes and started to work.
You were busy preparing the coffees as BAP went to you. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you guys doing here? Could you all please go home now.” you said.
Yongguk shook his head, “No. We’re working right now.” he said. You rolled your eyes, “With so many shops here in Korea, why here? Psh!” you said.
“Because we want to work with you even you already dating Himchan.” Youngjae said. “Correction: they’re not dating.” Daehyun corrected as Himchan shot him a look but he didn’t care to be bother about. “Really?” Zelo brightened.
You just nodded. “Yay! I get my energy back now. Come on, let’s work all together!” Jongup beamed. You rolled your eyes as you get the tray of coffees and led yourself to the way to the customers.
When you was about to approach them, you accidentally stepped into something that made you lost your balance. Unexpectedly, the coffees dropped on lady’s clothes, one of the customers.
You started to panic as you started to bow a couple of times and apologize, “Mianhe, mianhe..” you said many times until ohh..
PAK!
The hand of the lady landed on your cheek. Your eyes widen in shocked by the sudden slap that made you touch your burning cheek.
CHAPTER 34
BAP’s jaw dropped after they saw the whole scene. Himchan want to rush to you and hold you but Daehyun already did.
“Why did you slap her?!” Daehyun raised his voice at the lady. The lady raised an eyebrow at him, “Wae? Can’t I? She drop the coffee into my clothes so she drserve to be slap!” the lady said.
“Mwo?! She didn’t even did it on purpose!” Daehyun snapped. The lady smirked, “No. She did it on purpose, right Sunmi?” the lady asked you.
You automatically raised your head up only to see your aunt in front of you. “Aunt..” you whispered. She smirked, “Miss me huh?” she said. “So.. You’re now working here at the small shop huh..” she then look to Daehyun, “And.. This boy. We meet again. Is he your new boy huh?! A blonde one too hmm?” she added.
*So.. That’s why she looks familiar to me..* Daehyun thought.
You decided to reamined silent and lowered your head. “Yah! Old Woman! Can you just leave here now?!” Daehyun said, a bit pissed. “Mwo?! Old woman?” she gasped.
Daehyun smirked, “Yeah! You are already old so get the f*ck out of here!” he was already pissed of now.
Your aunt frowned at him as she turned to you, “Happy now huh?” she said.
You looked up, “What?!” you gasped. She rolled her eyes and was about to give you another slap but luckily Himchan caught her wrist in time. “Leave now or I’ll twisted your arm hard!” Himchan shouted at her. You aunt shot you one last look before she darted outside the shop as her friends followed.
The others walked to you 3. “Gwenchana Sunmi-ah?” Zelo asked.
No response.
“Don’t mind that woman.” Jongup said.
Still, no response.
“Don’t be upset now Sunmi-ah..” Yongguk tried to cheer you up. “Sunmi, you okay right?” Youngjae innocently asked as BAP shot him a look. Youngjae shut his mouth.
Daehyun looked down at you, still holding you tight. Instead of hearing a word from you, you quickly hug him as you started to cry hard. Daehyun was shocked at first but suddenly softened as he gently stroke your hair, “Everything will be okay soon. Cry it out.” he whispered.
Himchan looked at you two, jealous. He wish that he’s the one that holding you not Daehyun.
---
The whole walking was filled of awakward silent. Until you reach your home, you still remained silent.
You entered your house not saying a word. BAP stared at you for a while, worried. When you are finally disappeared on their sights, they all headed to their dorm with you on their mind.
CHAPTER 35
That night, the scene of the shop keeps playing on your mind. When your aunt slap you, it feel so down. It’s been so long since the last time you see her but what you just get from her? A slap!
Your aunt was the first person who slap you. Not anyone, even your mother. You couldn’t erase what happen ealier at the shop. It’s keeping you down. Your tears couldn’t take it anymore as they burst once again from your eyes.
All you just did was crying at your room in almost 2 hours. When no tears finally came out, you tried to sleep but couldn’t.
You decided to went out to take a walk and at the same time to refresh your mind. You stopped at the park and sat on the bench. You let out a sigh as you lowered your head.
*Why my life is so cruel? Can I just have a happy and quiet life?* you let out a sigh once again, *It’s impossible to happen, now that you’re no longer with me..*
Suddenly, an incan of softdrinks rolled towards your foot that made you look in front to see where it came from. To your surprised, Youngmin was there, right in front of you.
Both of you stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Youngmin cleared his throat, “What are you doing here late at night?” he asked.
You lowered your head, “Just want to take some fresh air.” you replied. Youngmin nodded in understanding, “Umm.. Can I sit with you?” he asked.
You automatically look at him, “Eh? Uh-oh.. Sure..” you replied.
Youngmin sat next to you as your heart started go crazy inside your chest. *Omo! Why are you still reacting to him?*
Youngmin look down at you and your red cheek caught his attention. He cupped your chin to make you look at him. You gasped in surprise. “What happen to this?” he asked as gently stroke your cheek.
You immediately look away as you civered your red cheek. “Is your aunt did that to you?” Youngmin asked. You could feel a worry from his voice but you decided to remained silent and don’t give him a response.
Youngmin put his hands to your shoulder and make you face him again. “It’s okay if you don’t want to say to me. I understand.” he said.
You softened as you lowered your head again. The atmosphere turned into silence.
“What are you doing here?” you asked, not looking at him that broke the silence. “To think.” he simply replied. You just nodded in understanding.
Just then, you heard him let out a heavy sigh that made you look at him. “...Sulli?” you asked. He look at you, surprised.
You look away, “Your sigh... Is.. it because of Sulli?” you asked. You heard him sigh again as he lowered his head, “No.” you heard him replied that you looked up at him once again.
Youngmin look at you and stared straightly to your eyes. Then he continued, “..it’s because of you..”
CHAPTER 36
You were already lying on your bed as Youngmin’s words keep playing on your head.
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
You shook your head to snap your head on playing that words. *No! But he said...*
:: flashback ::
“..it’s because of you..” Youngmin said. You froze.
“W-what?” you gasped as if you heard wrong but he repeated, “I’m here to think about my feelings for you.” he said.
You open your mouth to say sonething but he cut you off and continued, “I know I hurt you before because of Sulli but I thought she’s the one that I love. Day by day, I’m with her but I still can’t forget about you. I didn’t know why I broke up with you over Sulli. She tricked me, she seduce me. I tried myself to focus on Sulli but always failed. She easily get jealous everytime I talk about you. I tried to understand her but I can’t. She was too different from you. Sunmi-ah.. I know you still didn’t forgive me but believe it ir not, I’m still in love with you.” he said.
You didn’t what you need to feel about what he said. You could feel a mixed emotions.
You stood up and raised an eyebrow at him, “Are you crazy?! After what you did to me before. After hurting me, now you’re saying you’re still in love with me?! After a year, you just realize it today?! and now, you want me to believe that?! What fo you think of me? A thing that you can freely get back from you?! Are you really a person?! If you hurt me before, you can still do the same thing so expect me to go back to you! I’m a person too that has feelings!” tears welled up to your eyes. “I’m going now.” you turned to leave but he held you back.
“I know I hurt you so much but all I said.. I meant it. Sunmi-ah, I love you and I’m willing to wait no matter what.” you heard him said as another tears fall from your eyes.
Without looking back at him, you left leaving him crying alone.
:: end of flashback ::
*Is he really meant what he said?* you thought. You shook your head, *No. He just want to trick you. Yah! Go Sunmi, don’t ever believe him. He will just hurt you.*
With that, you burried your face on your pillow and soon, fall asleep.
CHAPTER 37
Next morning came. You nervously stepped out from the house, afraid to go to school or should I say.. afraid to face Youngmin.
You started to walk forward when BAP suddenly appeared on your sight that made you jump in surprise along with a gasped. BAP blinked at you.
“Aish! You guys scared me!” you said. “Woah! Dd you hear her? She talk again!” Zelo beamed in excitement. You rolled your eyes as you started to walk again.
“Are you okay now?” Daehyun and Himchan asked at the same time that made you stopped and looked bacj at them.
Daehyun and Himchan glared at each other as BAP stared at them, puzzled. You blinked at the two, “Um.. Er.. What is it again?” you asked.
Daehyun and Himchan broke the staring contest and look at you. “Um.. About last night.. Do you feel better now?” Daehyun asked.
*Last night? Wait.. Did they saw me with Youngmin last night?* “Last night?” you asked, wanted to make sure.
You saw Himchan nodded, “When your aunt.. You know.. S-slap you..” he finally finished his sentence. *Uh yeah! I thought they saw me with Youngmin. Well.. I think because of that, I forgot about my aunt..* “Uh.. Ne, I’m okay. Thank you for the concern.” you said as you spun around again.
BAP look at each other. *She said thank you?* they wondered.
As you were walking, you felt some foot step from behind. You carefully spun around only to see BAP again. You furrowed your eyebrows together, “What are you guys following me?”
“We’re NOT following you.” Yongguk snapped. “What are you guys doing then? It’s obviously following me, right?” you raised an eyebrow.
“Well... If you didn’t remember, we’re also studying at tha same school as you.” Jongup pointed out.
*Right.* you thought. You nervously laugh, “Uh.. Yeah. I’m sorry.” you said. BAP look at each other once again, *Now, she say sorry?*
“Are you sick?” Youngjae asked. You titled your head, “Eh?”
“You act weird today.” he replied. You frowned, “Whatever! I gotta go first.” you said as you started to walk again. BAP followed.
As you enter the school, you felt yourself need to use the comfort room because of the nervous that you are felling right now.
You started walking to the way to the ladies comfort room but BAP still following you. You turned around, “Are you guys also going to the ladies comfort room?” you pointed out.
They all stopped and noticed what they are doing. They all shook their head. “Go now then.” you nodded them to leave. With that, they finally left.
You entered the comfort room and pee. After that, you face yourself at te mirror. *Don’t be nervous Sunmi, you can face him! Hwaiting!* with that, you leave the comfort room.
Right after you stepped outside, a figure of Youngmin popped on your sight. He was walking in the corridor. Just then, Youngmin turned his head and you froze. *Caught!*
Youngmin was about to walk to you but you immediately runaway. “Sunmi-ah, wait!” you heard him called but you didn’t care to turned around until someone grabbed your hand nd dragged you away from Youngmin.
CHAPTER 38
“What are we doing here?” you asked Himchan as you and him stopped at the gate. “We have nowhere to go! ” he nodded at the gate.
“What?” you asked. “Go climb!” he ordered. “What? Ditching school? No!” you blurted. “Do you want your ex caught you?” he snapped.
You stunned as you quickly climb at the gate like what you did last time with him but this time, with a fast move.
After you climb, Himchan followed. You raised an eyebrow, “Are you going to ditch too?” you asked. “Ask me later. We need to get out of here before your ex spotted us!” he snapped as he grabbed your hand once again and dragged you away.
---
Youngmin on the other hand, still searching for you but you are already gone. “Aish! Where did she go?” he mumbled to himself.
“Looking for someone huh?” a voice said that made Youngmin turned his attention to that person. “Sulli..” his face fell.
“Yeah it’s me. Seems like you’re not happy to see your girlfriend huh..” she said in annoying tone. “Sulli, I’m no longer your boyfriend so please leave me alone!” he said.
“So.. You’re now want me to leave you alone. Is it because of that bitch again?!” Sulli smirked.
“Yah! Don’t call her bitch coz you’re the one that bitch!” Youngmin glared at her. Sulli smirked as she walked to Youngmin and whispered, “Am I still a bitch even if I kiss you like this?” she then pressed her lips to him as she kissed him sexily.
Youngmin immediately pushed her away, “Stop seducing me again bitch!” he wiped his lips using the back of his hand, “..and stop ruining my lips with your dirty lips!” with that, Youngmin left her.
Sulli furrowed her eyebrows together as he look at Youngmin angrily.
*Bitch huh? Let’s see then. I won’t let you to be with Sunmi ever again! You’re mine Jo Youngmin, ONLY mine..*
CHAPTER 39
“Yah! What are we doing here at the mall?” you as Himchan as both of you enetered the mall.
“To have fun!” he simply replied. “Mwo?!” you gasped.
“Since we already ditch school, let’s take it as a free time.” he said as he took your hand and led the way. “Yah! Stop holding my hands, I can walk by myslelf!” you yanked your hand away from his.
Himchan smiled, “As you said sexy..” he seductively said. You shot him a look, “Pervert!”
He shook his head, “Meanie.” he commented. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever, I’m going now. Bye.” you were about to leave but Himchan reach your waist, “No, you need to spend this day to me.” he whispered to you. “Yah! Pervert, let go of me!!” you shrugged but he didn’t let you go.
“No. You need to go with since I help you to esape with your ex.” he said. “Stop mentioning him as my ex!” you snapped.
“Not until you agree to go with him.” he said. You let out a sigh, “Okay. Let me go now.” you finally gave up. He smirked, “Let me atleast hold your hand.” he reach your hand and led the way.
As long as you want to unclasp your hand from his, you couldn’t. He’s stronger than you. “Where are we going by the way?” you managed to ask.
“Movie theater.” he said. “What?! I don’t have any money with me.” you excused, trying to stop him.
“No worries. My treat.” he winked. Your eyes dropped, *He always have a reason..* you open your eyes, “What are we going to watch then?” you asked another.
“Horror movie.” he replied. Your eyes widen, “What?! No!” you blurted.
Himchan smirked, *I knew it! You’re scared. Don’t worry, I’m here. I will let you hug me. Hahaha!* he evily thought as he smiled like a fool.
You raised an eyebrow, “What are you smiling at?” you snapped. Himchan straightened up, “Nothing. Just excited.” he grinned.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you said as you walked inside the theater room. “Yah! Wait for me!” he ran to you aa he took your hand.
You shrugged to remove your hand from his but once again, FAILED.
---
The movie got started. At first, you were seriously focusing on the movie. Himchan glance down at you as a smile formed on his face.
*You will going to hug me anytime Sunmi. Kim Himchan, just wait for it. Be patient.* he grinned. You look up at him and frowned, “What so funny?” you asked.
He shook his head, “Nothing. Continue watching.” he nodded you to face the front. You rolled your eyes and face the front again.
Just then, the scariest part came. Himchan was smiling widely as he silently waiting for you to hug him. His eyes were glued at the screen.
Until.. the loud bang came as Himchan felt a heavy thing on his shoulder. He smiled even wider. “Aigoo—” he turned to you but his smile fell as he saw you only sleeping on his shoulder.
*What? She’s sleeping? Aish! I’m craving for the hug.* he pouted.
---
“Ahhh.” you yawned as you and Himchan went out from the theater room. “Psh!” you heard Himchan mummbled as he pouted.
“Wae?” you innocently asked. He pouted even more. You rolled your eyes.
“Why did you sleep inside?” he asked in irritation. “I already told you I don’t want an horror movie.” you replied. He shot you a look. “I’m bored at horrors and fall asleep immediately.” you added.
“You just waste the movie.” he said. “I don’t care at all since that’s your money.” you snapped as you walked passed by him. “Yah! Where are you going?!” he called. “Home.” you replied.
Himchan rushed ans catch you up, “Let’s eat first.” he said and dragged you right away.
You two stopped in one of the restaurant there at the mall. Himchan led the way. Without a choice, you followed.
Himchan’s treat again so don’t have to bothered. You let him order what he wants and just wait for the food.
---
After eating, you and Himchan walk around the mall since he still didn’t want to let you go.
“Um.. Why Youngmin following you?” Himchan suddenly asked. You stared at him because of the sudden question. You look away, “I don’t know.” you lied.
Himchan cupped your face to make you face him. “Is he bothering you?” he asked with a worried voice.
You snapped his hand away, “It doesn’t matter to you so don’t ask.” you said. “No, it does!” he snapped. You stunned and look at him. “What?” you gasped.
Himchan gazed at you, “I want to know if he’s bothering the girl I like..”
CHAPTER 40
“I want to know if he’s bothering the girl I like..” Himchan softly stated. You froze on your spot. *Is he confessing to me?*
You laugh nervously, “Do you think I will give in easily to your trick? Psh! Too bad, I’m not like your other girls!” you said.
“I’m serious.” his expression didn’t change. You gulped and stayed still. “Go Sunmi, I like you.” he finally said the magic word.
You made a step backward, “I need to go now.” you turned to leave but as always he caught you, “I know your shock but I’ll be waiting.” he said.
You snapped his hand away and started to run. As you were walking, Himchan’s words repeatedly playing on your head.
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
You shook your head, *No. He don’t like me.* you snapped your head but a serious expression of Himchan played on your head. *But he looks serious.*
Suddenly, you bumped into someone because of your head lowered. “Ow!” you winced as you touch your forehead.
“Did I hurt you?” a voice asked. You looked up and to your surprised, you knew the person. “Daehyun-ah..” you could still recognize him even he’s wearung his mask.
“Uh.. Hey!” he waved as he take off his mask. “You still recognize me even I’m wearing a mask.” he commented.
*Right.* “Well.. Maybe because of your blonde hair.” you excused.
He raised an eyebrow, “But my friends are also blonde.” he snapped. *Right. Well.. To be honest, because of your eyes that usually met mine.*
“Why didn’t you attended class?” he asked. “Uh-oh.. I just went somewhere.” you explained. “Are you with Himchan that time?” he slowly asked. You looked up at him, surprised. “Uh..” you lowered your head as you remembered Himchan’s confession.
“So.. are you going somewhere?” Daehyun suddenly change the topic. You looked up again, “Home.” you replied.
“Do you mind going out with me?” he slowly asked. “Eh?” you gaped.
“Um.. I’m about to go to the park and I was wondering if you want to come?” he looked at you with a pleasing eyes. You let out a sigh, “Okay.” you didn’t know why but you feel like going with him.
He brightened, “Really?” You nodded.
“Okay, kaja!” he said as both you two went to the park. You study him for a while, *He is different from Himchan.* you thought.
Suddenly, Daehyun caught your waist and pressed you against his chest. *Okay, snap that. They are the same.*
“Be careful. You almost hit by a car.” Daehyun whispered softly. You look up and noticed that a car was about to hit you but luckily, Daehyun caught you in time.
He carefully released you, “Gwenchana?” he asked as you nodded. *He is so caring.* you thought.
“Come on. We’re almost reach the park.” he said as you silently followed him.
“Um... Why did you want to go here?” you asked as you two reach the park. “Just want to relax and watch the fireworks.” he said. You gaze at him, amused.
“Come on. Let’s grabbed dukbokki first. The fireworks will appear maybe later.” he said as he grabbed you wrist but you stared at his hand that made him pulled away. “Mianhe.” he whispered.
You shook your head, “No. It’s okay. Come on.” you said and passed by. Daehyun smiled and followed you.
After eating dukbokki, you two search for a perfect spot to watch the fireworks. Minutes later, the you two already spotted one. You two make a sit on the bench and looked up the sky.
“Do you like fireworks that much?” you suddenly asked in curiosity. He smiled and nodded.
“What so special with the fireworks?” you mummbled to yourself but Daehyun could still hear it. “I like them. I feel better everytime I see them.” he said.
You automatically looked at him, “You heard it?” He smiled and nodded as he looked up once again. “Aish!” you scratched your head.
He chuckled and turned to you again.“How come you started to talk now?” he suddenly asked. “Eh?” you gasped. “Day by day, you started to talk much just like today.” he said and looked up the sky again. You stared at him, amused.
“Uh.. Fireworks!” he pointed. You snapped out your gaze and looked up. Your eyes sparkled, “Woah!” you suddenly whispered.
“That’s why I like them. They can lightened up all the person’s mood.” Daehyun said. “I know right.” you giggled.
Daehyun gaze down at you, *I like seeing you smiling. You look better.*
Minutes later, the fireworks disappeared but a shooting star suddenly appeared in the sky. “Uh.. Shooting star!” you pointed as you sut your eyes close tightly and pressed your both palms together.
Then, you slowly open your eyes again and looked up in the sky. You turned to Daehyun who’s eyes were closed. Just then, he slowly open his eyes.
“You make a wish?” you asked. He nodded. You kept yourself silent, hesitating to ask him or not. “Do you want to hear my wish?” he asked. You nodded.
He slowly turned to you and stared as you stared back. With a serious face, he said, “I wish you to forget about Youngmin and started to like me instead..”
Morning came. You woke up early to get ready for school. After that, you went out from your house to go to school.
Right after you stepped out, a blonde guy popped on you sight. He flash you a smile and walked to you. “Going to school? Let’s go together.” he said.
You look around but Himchan was the only one was there. “Where are your friends?” you asked. “They already went to school.” he replied.
“Why are you still here then?” you asked. “I woke up late that’s why.” he said. “But it’s still early.” you said.
Himchan shook his head, “No, it’s not. It’s already 9:00am.” he calmly said as he pointed on his watch. Your eyes widen, “Omo! My clock is late again. Aish! The school gate will going to close soon.” you whispered and stormed off, leaving Himchan there, dumbfounded.
“Yah! Go Sunmi-ah!” he called the made you stopped and look back at him. He then walked at you and flash you a smile. He reach your hand, “Let’s run together.” and with that, he dragged you to school, holding hands.
You shrugged but he hold it tight.
As both you two got near the school gate, you saw it’s about to close. “Omo! The gate!” you shouted as you and Himchan started to run faster but the gate already closed.
“Aish! It already closed. Eoteokhae?” you whispered. Himchan look down at you then look around. “Let’s jump there.” he pointed to the upper part of the gate.
“Mwo?! No. I can’t.” you snapped. “But that’s the only way to get inside.” he said. “Aish! Okay.. But it’s too high to jump on.” you said.
Himchan stooped down, “Get on. I’ll help you to reach the upper part of the gate.” Your eyes widen, “Mwo?! Adwae! I’m wearing a skirt!” you protested.
“So.. You want to left here huh?” he asked as he look up at you. “No.” you firmly said. “Then get on.” he ordered. “Aish! Be sure that you won’t look up.” you said.
“But how can I see if you already reach the end?” he asked. “Just don’t look up!” you blurted. “Araseo!” he said, “Get on now!”
You slowly put your hands to his shoulder as he started to lift you up. Accidentally, he look up to see if you reach the end but also saw something under your skirt. “Yah! I said don’t look up!” you shouted.
Himchan quickly look down as you were trying to reach the other end. “I like pink.” you heard him whispered.
Your eyes widen, “Yah! You pervert!!!” you shrugged that made you lost your balance and end up falling on top of Himchan.
Your hands were placed on hus broad chest as his hands on your waist. Your both faces were just a few inches near to each other. “Pink suits you..” you heard him said and smirked.
You immediately get off from him and give him a glare and kick him, “Didn’t I say don’t look up huh?” you said as you kick him again. He yelped in pain and carefully stood up, “I didn’t do it on purpose.” he defended himself.
You rolled your eyes, “As if I’ll believe you!” He pouted, “Come on, let’s try again.” he said as he stooped diwn once again. “No. I don’t want to anymore.” you snapped. “Aish! Come on. Promise I won’t look up anymore.” he reach your wrist as he make you get on to him.
You want to protest but he already stood up. You look down at him, “Don’t look up, araseo?!” you said. “Araseo..” he nodded.
Just then, you suddenly reach the other end and finally get inside the school. After that, Himchan jump up and get himself inside the school too.
Himchan immediate took your hand and started to run to the classroom with you.
---
“Omo! The class already started.” you whispered to Himchan. “No worries. I’m so late like you.” he whispered and smiled.
You gave him a look. He smiled again, “Come on, let’s enter tge classroom.” he slowly twisted the door knob as both you two slowly stepped inside.
“Mr. Kim and Ms. Go, why are you two late?” you heard your teacher suddenly said that made Daehyun look at you two, frowning.
*uh.. Caught!* you thought. Your teacher then noticed that you and Himchan holding each other’s hand. “Go on a date before go to school hmm?” your teacher said.
Daehyun shifted his gaze to your and Himchan’s holding hands. *What’s going on?* he thought in puzzlement.
You then noticed that Himchan was still holding your hand. You immediately removed your hand from his and bowed to your teacher, “Mianhe for being late but we—” Himchan cut you off, “Mianhe Seonsaengnim but we are busy on our date that we didn’t notice the time.” Himchan said. You look at him in disbelief.
Daehyun frowned, *They go on a date? But as I know, Himchan woke up late.* he thought. BAP look at you two, shocked.
“Aigoo! Kids these days. You two got detention after class. Go to your sears now.” the teacher said. *Again?* you sadly thought as you headed to your seat.
Himchan also headed to his seat next to Daehyun. He was smiling like a fool that made Daehyun more puzzled.
CHAPTER 32
Class dismissal. You and Himchan went up to your teacher for the detention.
“So.. You two, clean this classroom. Make sure that this classroom is completely clean before you two went home, araseo?” your teacher said. Both you and Himchan nodded and bowed. With that, the teacher left.
Just after the teacher disappeared, BAP walked to the two of you. “Yah! Himchan, why didn’t you tell me that you two are now dating huh?” Yongguk said. “I think he woke up late on purpose.” Youngjae added.
“Ani! We’re—” you want to explain but Himchan wrapped his arm around your shoulder and cut you off, “Because Sunmi don’t want me tell to anyone.” he said.
Your eyes widen in horror. Suddenly, your eyes met Daehyun’s coldly glare. You immediately look away.
“Aish! I’m jealous!” Zelo pouted. “Poor you.” Himchan smirked. “Aish! In all of us, why that pervert?! Psh!” Jongup blurted.
Himchan gave him a look. “Let’s go now guys. We still need to go somewhere.” Yongguk said as the others nodded except for Daehyun. With that, they all leave the classroom as Daehyun left there alone with you two.
Himchan raised an eyebrow, “Why are you still here?” he asked. “I want to help.” he simply said as he smiled at you.
“You don’t need to do that! Sunmi and I can do it together.” Himchan flas you a smile as he pulled you closer to him. You immediately pushed him away from you, “You pervert! Why did you tell them that we’re dating huh?!” you narrowed your eyes to him.
“Wae? That’s the truth, right?” he said. You rolled your eyes, “Truth your face! I’m not dating anyone so stop saying that again!” you said. Daehyun finally brightened.
“Aish!” Himchan took your hand, “Let’s start cleaning while holding hands.“ he smiled and was about to walk to the window to start cleaning it when Daehyun suddenly grabbed your other hand.
You gulped and look at him. Daehyun stared at Himchan as Himchan stared back. *Omo! Here we go again.*
You twisted your both hands to removed from them as you walked to the window and started cleaning it, “I want go now so if you two want to help me, stop wasting the time.” you simply said, trying to break the cold atmosphere between Daehyun and Himchan.
Himchan give Daehyun one last glare before he could help you cleaning. With that, Daehyun also followed.
As you were cleaning, Himchan on the other hand cleaning at your right while Daehyun at your left.
Awkward silence filled the classroom in the whole cleaning thing. No one wants to broke the silence as they continue to clean and so was you.
CHAPTER 33
After finishing the detention, you, Himchan and Daehyun leave the school. You started walking to the way of the shop that you are working at as you felt Himchan and Daehyun followed you.
You stopped and turned aroung to them, “Where are you two going?” you asked, raising an eyebrow.
“We’re going to work.” Himchan simply replied. You raised an eyebrow again as you turned to Daehyun. You saw him nodded in agreement.
“You guys does have a job?” you asked once again. They nodded as they walked passed by you. You turned to them and frowned.
You watch them walking and to your surprised, you them entered the shop that you are working at. *What’s going on?* you asked yourself.
You immediately darted to the shop. Another surprise popped on your sight. Himchan and Daehyun were already started to approach the customers and not just that, all the BAP are there, working at the shop. As they saw you, they give you a smiled and winked.
You frowned as you turned to see your manager smiling at the sight. You walked to him, “What’s going on here?” you asked him. “What?” he asked, pretending not to know.
You nodded to the direction of BAP, “What are they doing? Why are they here?” you asked, confused. “Uh.. That! I hired them to work for this shop. Look! They doing good. The shop became full when your friends started to works here. Thanks to you, they work for me.” you manager said.
“Aish! I’m going to work now sir.” you said as you changed your clothes and started to work.
You were busy preparing the coffees as BAP went to you. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you guys doing here? Could you all please go home now.” you said.
Yongguk shook his head, “No. We’re working right now.” he said. You rolled your eyes, “With so many shops here in Korea, why here? Psh!” you said.
“Because we want to work with you even you already dating Himchan.” Youngjae said. “Correction: they’re not dating.” Daehyun corrected as Himchan shot him a look but he didn’t care to be bother about. “Really?” Zelo brightened.
You just nodded. “Yay! I get my energy back now. Come on, let’s work all together!” Jongup beamed. You rolled your eyes as you get the tray of coffees and led yourself to the way to the customers.
When you was about to approach them, you accidentally stepped into something that made you lost your balance. Unexpectedly, the coffees dropped on lady’s clothes, one of the customers.
You started to panic as you started to bow a couple of times and apologize, “Mianhe, mianhe..” you said many times until ohh..
PAK!
The hand of the lady landed on your cheek. Your eyes widen in shocked by the sudden slap that made you touch your burning cheek.
CHAPTER 34
BAP’s jaw dropped after they saw the whole scene. Himchan want to rush to you and hold you but Daehyun already did.
“Why did you slap her?!” Daehyun raised his voice at the lady. The lady raised an eyebrow at him, “Wae? Can’t I? She drop the coffee into my clothes so she drserve to be slap!” the lady said.
“Mwo?! She didn’t even did it on purpose!” Daehyun snapped. The lady smirked, “No. She did it on purpose, right Sunmi?” the lady asked you.
You automatically raised your head up only to see your aunt in front of you. “Aunt..” you whispered. She smirked, “Miss me huh?” she said. “So.. You’re now working here at the small shop huh..” she then look to Daehyun, “And.. This boy. We meet again. Is he your new boy huh?! A blonde one too hmm?” she added.
*So.. That’s why she looks familiar to me..* Daehyun thought.
You decided to reamined silent and lowered your head. “Yah! Old Woman! Can you just leave here now?!” Daehyun said, a bit pissed. “Mwo?! Old woman?” she gasped.
Daehyun smirked, “Yeah! You are already old so get the f*ck out of here!” he was already pissed of now.
Your aunt frowned at him as she turned to you, “Happy now huh?” she said.
You looked up, “What?!” you gasped. She rolled her eyes and was about to give you another slap but luckily Himchan caught her wrist in time. “Leave now or I’ll twisted your arm hard!” Himchan shouted at her. You aunt shot you one last look before she darted outside the shop as her friends followed.
The others walked to you 3. “Gwenchana Sunmi-ah?” Zelo asked.
No response.
“Don’t mind that woman.” Jongup said.
Still, no response.
“Don’t be upset now Sunmi-ah..” Yongguk tried to cheer you up. “Sunmi, you okay right?” Youngjae innocently asked as BAP shot him a look. Youngjae shut his mouth.
Daehyun looked down at you, still holding you tight. Instead of hearing a word from you, you quickly hug him as you started to cry hard. Daehyun was shocked at first but suddenly softened as he gently stroke your hair, “Everything will be okay soon. Cry it out.” he whispered.
Himchan looked at you two, jealous. He wish that he’s the one that holding you not Daehyun.
---
The whole walking was filled of awakward silent. Until you reach your home, you still remained silent.
You entered your house not saying a word. BAP stared at you for a while, worried. When you are finally disappeared on their sights, they all headed to their dorm with you on their mind.
CHAPTER 35
That night, the scene of the shop keeps playing on your mind. When your aunt slap you, it feel so down. It’s been so long since the last time you see her but what you just get from her? A slap!
Your aunt was the first person who slap you. Not anyone, even your mother. You couldn’t erase what happen ealier at the shop. It’s keeping you down. Your tears couldn’t take it anymore as they burst once again from your eyes.
All you just did was crying at your room in almost 2 hours. When no tears finally came out, you tried to sleep but couldn’t.
You decided to went out to take a walk and at the same time to refresh your mind. You stopped at the park and sat on the bench. You let out a sigh as you lowered your head.
*Why my life is so cruel? Can I just have a happy and quiet life?* you let out a sigh once again, *It’s impossible to happen, now that you’re no longer with me..*
Suddenly, an incan of softdrinks rolled towards your foot that made you look in front to see where it came from. To your surprised, Youngmin was there, right in front of you.
Both of you stared at each other, not knowing what to say. Youngmin cleared his throat, “What are you doing here late at night?” he asked.
You lowered your head, “Just want to take some fresh air.” you replied. Youngmin nodded in understanding, “Umm.. Can I sit with you?” he asked.
You automatically look at him, “Eh? Uh-oh.. Sure..” you replied.
Youngmin sat next to you as your heart started go crazy inside your chest. *Omo! Why are you still reacting to him?*
Youngmin look down at you and your red cheek caught his attention. He cupped your chin to make you look at him. You gasped in surprise. “What happen to this?” he asked as gently stroke your cheek.
You immediately look away as you civered your red cheek. “Is your aunt did that to you?” Youngmin asked. You could feel a worry from his voice but you decided to remained silent and don’t give him a response.
Youngmin put his hands to your shoulder and make you face him again. “It’s okay if you don’t want to say to me. I understand.” he said.
You softened as you lowered your head again. The atmosphere turned into silence.
“What are you doing here?” you asked, not looking at him that broke the silence. “To think.” he simply replied. You just nodded in understanding.
Just then, you heard him let out a heavy sigh that made you look at him. “...Sulli?” you asked. He look at you, surprised.
You look away, “Your sigh... Is.. it because of Sulli?” you asked. You heard him sigh again as he lowered his head, “No.” you heard him replied that you looked up at him once again.
Youngmin look at you and stared straightly to your eyes. Then he continued, “..it’s because of you..”
CHAPTER 36
You were already lying on your bed as Youngmin’s words keep playing on your head.
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
“..it’s bacause of you..”
You shook your head to snap your head on playing that words. *No! But he said...*
:: flashback ::
“..it’s because of you..” Youngmin said. You froze.
“W-what?” you gasped as if you heard wrong but he repeated, “I’m here to think about my feelings for you.” he said.
You open your mouth to say sonething but he cut you off and continued, “I know I hurt you before because of Sulli but I thought she’s the one that I love. Day by day, I’m with her but I still can’t forget about you. I didn’t know why I broke up with you over Sulli. She tricked me, she seduce me. I tried myself to focus on Sulli but always failed. She easily get jealous everytime I talk about you. I tried to understand her but I can’t. She was too different from you. Sunmi-ah.. I know you still didn’t forgive me but believe it ir not, I’m still in love with you.” he said.
You didn’t what you need to feel about what he said. You could feel a mixed emotions.
You stood up and raised an eyebrow at him, “Are you crazy?! After what you did to me before. After hurting me, now you’re saying you’re still in love with me?! After a year, you just realize it today?! and now, you want me to believe that?! What fo you think of me? A thing that you can freely get back from you?! Are you really a person?! If you hurt me before, you can still do the same thing so expect me to go back to you! I’m a person too that has feelings!” tears welled up to your eyes. “I’m going now.” you turned to leave but he held you back.
“I know I hurt you so much but all I said.. I meant it. Sunmi-ah, I love you and I’m willing to wait no matter what.” you heard him said as another tears fall from your eyes.
Without looking back at him, you left leaving him crying alone.
:: end of flashback ::
*Is he really meant what he said?* you thought. You shook your head, *No. He just want to trick you. Yah! Go Sunmi, don’t ever believe him. He will just hurt you.*
With that, you burried your face on your pillow and soon, fall asleep.
CHAPTER 37
Next morning came. You nervously stepped out from the house, afraid to go to school or should I say.. afraid to face Youngmin.
You started to walk forward when BAP suddenly appeared on your sight that made you jump in surprise along with a gasped. BAP blinked at you.
“Aish! You guys scared me!” you said. “Woah! Dd you hear her? She talk again!” Zelo beamed in excitement. You rolled your eyes as you started to walk again.
“Are you okay now?” Daehyun and Himchan asked at the same time that made you stopped and looked bacj at them.
Daehyun and Himchan glared at each other as BAP stared at them, puzzled. You blinked at the two, “Um.. Er.. What is it again?” you asked.
Daehyun and Himchan broke the staring contest and look at you. “Um.. About last night.. Do you feel better now?” Daehyun asked.
*Last night? Wait.. Did they saw me with Youngmin last night?* “Last night?” you asked, wanted to make sure.
You saw Himchan nodded, “When your aunt.. You know.. S-slap you..” he finally finished his sentence. *Uh yeah! I thought they saw me with Youngmin. Well.. I think because of that, I forgot about my aunt..* “Uh.. Ne, I’m okay. Thank you for the concern.” you said as you spun around again.
BAP look at each other. *She said thank you?* they wondered.
As you were walking, you felt some foot step from behind. You carefully spun around only to see BAP again. You furrowed your eyebrows together, “What are you guys following me?”
“We’re NOT following you.” Yongguk snapped. “What are you guys doing then? It’s obviously following me, right?” you raised an eyebrow.
“Well... If you didn’t remember, we’re also studying at tha same school as you.” Jongup pointed out.
*Right.* you thought. You nervously laugh, “Uh.. Yeah. I’m sorry.” you said. BAP look at each other once again, *Now, she say sorry?*
“Are you sick?” Youngjae asked. You titled your head, “Eh?”
“You act weird today.” he replied. You frowned, “Whatever! I gotta go first.” you said as you started to walk again. BAP followed.
As you enter the school, you felt yourself need to use the comfort room because of the nervous that you are felling right now.
You started walking to the way to the ladies comfort room but BAP still following you. You turned around, “Are you guys also going to the ladies comfort room?” you pointed out.
They all stopped and noticed what they are doing. They all shook their head. “Go now then.” you nodded them to leave. With that, they finally left.
You entered the comfort room and pee. After that, you face yourself at te mirror. *Don’t be nervous Sunmi, you can face him! Hwaiting!* with that, you leave the comfort room.
Right after you stepped outside, a figure of Youngmin popped on your sight. He was walking in the corridor. Just then, Youngmin turned his head and you froze. *Caught!*
Youngmin was about to walk to you but you immediately runaway. “Sunmi-ah, wait!” you heard him called but you didn’t care to turned around until someone grabbed your hand nd dragged you away from Youngmin.
CHAPTER 38
“What are we doing here?” you asked Himchan as you and him stopped at the gate. “We have nowhere to go! ” he nodded at the gate.
“What?” you asked. “Go climb!” he ordered. “What? Ditching school? No!” you blurted. “Do you want your ex caught you?” he snapped.
You stunned as you quickly climb at the gate like what you did last time with him but this time, with a fast move.
After you climb, Himchan followed. You raised an eyebrow, “Are you going to ditch too?” you asked. “Ask me later. We need to get out of here before your ex spotted us!” he snapped as he grabbed your hand once again and dragged you away.
---
Youngmin on the other hand, still searching for you but you are already gone. “Aish! Where did she go?” he mumbled to himself.
“Looking for someone huh?” a voice said that made Youngmin turned his attention to that person. “Sulli..” his face fell.
“Yeah it’s me. Seems like you’re not happy to see your girlfriend huh..” she said in annoying tone. “Sulli, I’m no longer your boyfriend so please leave me alone!” he said.
“So.. You’re now want me to leave you alone. Is it because of that bitch again?!” Sulli smirked.
“Yah! Don’t call her bitch coz you’re the one that bitch!” Youngmin glared at her. Sulli smirked as she walked to Youngmin and whispered, “Am I still a bitch even if I kiss you like this?” she then pressed her lips to him as she kissed him sexily.
Youngmin immediately pushed her away, “Stop seducing me again bitch!” he wiped his lips using the back of his hand, “..and stop ruining my lips with your dirty lips!” with that, Youngmin left her.
Sulli furrowed her eyebrows together as he look at Youngmin angrily.
*Bitch huh? Let’s see then. I won’t let you to be with Sunmi ever again! You’re mine Jo Youngmin, ONLY mine..*
CHAPTER 39
“Yah! What are we doing here at the mall?” you as Himchan as both of you enetered the mall.
“To have fun!” he simply replied. “Mwo?!” you gasped.
“Since we already ditch school, let’s take it as a free time.” he said as he took your hand and led the way. “Yah! Stop holding my hands, I can walk by myslelf!” you yanked your hand away from his.
Himchan smiled, “As you said sexy..” he seductively said. You shot him a look, “Pervert!”
He shook his head, “Meanie.” he commented. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever, I’m going now. Bye.” you were about to leave but Himchan reach your waist, “No, you need to spend this day to me.” he whispered to you. “Yah! Pervert, let go of me!!” you shrugged but he didn’t let you go.
“No. You need to go with since I help you to esape with your ex.” he said. “Stop mentioning him as my ex!” you snapped.
“Not until you agree to go with him.” he said. You let out a sigh, “Okay. Let me go now.” you finally gave up. He smirked, “Let me atleast hold your hand.” he reach your hand and led the way.
As long as you want to unclasp your hand from his, you couldn’t. He’s stronger than you. “Where are we going by the way?” you managed to ask.
“Movie theater.” he said. “What?! I don’t have any money with me.” you excused, trying to stop him.
“No worries. My treat.” he winked. Your eyes dropped, *He always have a reason..* you open your eyes, “What are we going to watch then?” you asked another.
“Horror movie.” he replied. Your eyes widen, “What?! No!” you blurted.
Himchan smirked, *I knew it! You’re scared. Don’t worry, I’m here. I will let you hug me. Hahaha!* he evily thought as he smiled like a fool.
You raised an eyebrow, “What are you smiling at?” you snapped. Himchan straightened up, “Nothing. Just excited.” he grinned.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you said as you walked inside the theater room. “Yah! Wait for me!” he ran to you aa he took your hand.
You shrugged to remove your hand from his but once again, FAILED.
---
The movie got started. At first, you were seriously focusing on the movie. Himchan glance down at you as a smile formed on his face.
*You will going to hug me anytime Sunmi. Kim Himchan, just wait for it. Be patient.* he grinned. You look up at him and frowned, “What so funny?” you asked.
He shook his head, “Nothing. Continue watching.” he nodded you to face the front. You rolled your eyes and face the front again.
Just then, the scariest part came. Himchan was smiling widely as he silently waiting for you to hug him. His eyes were glued at the screen.
Until.. the loud bang came as Himchan felt a heavy thing on his shoulder. He smiled even wider. “Aigoo—” he turned to you but his smile fell as he saw you only sleeping on his shoulder.
*What? She’s sleeping? Aish! I’m craving for the hug.* he pouted.
---
“Ahhh.” you yawned as you and Himchan went out from the theater room. “Psh!” you heard Himchan mummbled as he pouted.
“Wae?” you innocently asked. He pouted even more. You rolled your eyes.
“Why did you sleep inside?” he asked in irritation. “I already told you I don’t want an horror movie.” you replied. He shot you a look. “I’m bored at horrors and fall asleep immediately.” you added.
“You just waste the movie.” he said. “I don’t care at all since that’s your money.” you snapped as you walked passed by him. “Yah! Where are you going?!” he called. “Home.” you replied.
Himchan rushed ans catch you up, “Let’s eat first.” he said and dragged you right away.
You two stopped in one of the restaurant there at the mall. Himchan led the way. Without a choice, you followed.
Himchan’s treat again so don’t have to bothered. You let him order what he wants and just wait for the food.
---
After eating, you and Himchan walk around the mall since he still didn’t want to let you go.
“Um.. Why Youngmin following you?” Himchan suddenly asked. You stared at him because of the sudden question. You look away, “I don’t know.” you lied.
Himchan cupped your face to make you face him. “Is he bothering you?” he asked with a worried voice.
You snapped his hand away, “It doesn’t matter to you so don’t ask.” you said. “No, it does!” he snapped. You stunned and look at him. “What?” you gasped.
Himchan gazed at you, “I want to know if he’s bothering the girl I like..”
CHAPTER 40
“I want to know if he’s bothering the girl I like..” Himchan softly stated. You froze on your spot. *Is he confessing to me?*
You laugh nervously, “Do you think I will give in easily to your trick? Psh! Too bad, I’m not like your other girls!” you said.
“I’m serious.” his expression didn’t change. You gulped and stayed still. “Go Sunmi, I like you.” he finally said the magic word.
You made a step backward, “I need to go now.” you turned to leave but as always he caught you, “I know your shock but I’ll be waiting.” he said.
You snapped his hand away and started to run. As you were walking, Himchan’s words repeatedly playing on your head.
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
“Go Sunmi, I like you.”
You shook your head, *No. He don’t like me.* you snapped your head but a serious expression of Himchan played on your head. *But he looks serious.*
Suddenly, you bumped into someone because of your head lowered. “Ow!” you winced as you touch your forehead.
“Did I hurt you?” a voice asked. You looked up and to your surprised, you knew the person. “Daehyun-ah..” you could still recognize him even he’s wearung his mask.
“Uh.. Hey!” he waved as he take off his mask. “You still recognize me even I’m wearing a mask.” he commented.
*Right.* “Well.. Maybe because of your blonde hair.” you excused.
He raised an eyebrow, “But my friends are also blonde.” he snapped. *Right. Well.. To be honest, because of your eyes that usually met mine.*
“Why didn’t you attended class?” he asked. “Uh-oh.. I just went somewhere.” you explained. “Are you with Himchan that time?” he slowly asked. You looked up at him, surprised. “Uh..” you lowered your head as you remembered Himchan’s confession.
“So.. are you going somewhere?” Daehyun suddenly change the topic. You looked up again, “Home.” you replied.
“Do you mind going out with me?” he slowly asked. “Eh?” you gaped.
“Um.. I’m about to go to the park and I was wondering if you want to come?” he looked at you with a pleasing eyes. You let out a sigh, “Okay.” you didn’t know why but you feel like going with him.
He brightened, “Really?” You nodded.
“Okay, kaja!” he said as both you two went to the park. You study him for a while, *He is different from Himchan.* you thought.
Suddenly, Daehyun caught your waist and pressed you against his chest. *Okay, snap that. They are the same.*
“Be careful. You almost hit by a car.” Daehyun whispered softly. You look up and noticed that a car was about to hit you but luckily, Daehyun caught you in time.
He carefully released you, “Gwenchana?” he asked as you nodded. *He is so caring.* you thought.
“Come on. We’re almost reach the park.” he said as you silently followed him.
“Um... Why did you want to go here?” you asked as you two reach the park. “Just want to relax and watch the fireworks.” he said. You gaze at him, amused.
“Come on. Let’s grabbed dukbokki first. The fireworks will appear maybe later.” he said as he grabbed you wrist but you stared at his hand that made him pulled away. “Mianhe.” he whispered.
You shook your head, “No. It’s okay. Come on.” you said and passed by. Daehyun smiled and followed you.
After eating dukbokki, you two search for a perfect spot to watch the fireworks. Minutes later, the you two already spotted one. You two make a sit on the bench and looked up the sky.
“Do you like fireworks that much?” you suddenly asked in curiosity. He smiled and nodded.
“What so special with the fireworks?” you mummbled to yourself but Daehyun could still hear it. “I like them. I feel better everytime I see them.” he said.
You automatically looked at him, “You heard it?” He smiled and nodded as he looked up once again. “Aish!” you scratched your head.
He chuckled and turned to you again.“How come you started to talk now?” he suddenly asked. “Eh?” you gasped. “Day by day, you started to talk much just like today.” he said and looked up the sky again. You stared at him, amused.
“Uh.. Fireworks!” he pointed. You snapped out your gaze and looked up. Your eyes sparkled, “Woah!” you suddenly whispered.
“That’s why I like them. They can lightened up all the person’s mood.” Daehyun said. “I know right.” you giggled.
Daehyun gaze down at you, *I like seeing you smiling. You look better.*
Minutes later, the fireworks disappeared but a shooting star suddenly appeared in the sky. “Uh.. Shooting star!” you pointed as you sut your eyes close tightly and pressed your both palms together.
Then, you slowly open your eyes again and looked up in the sky. You turned to Daehyun who’s eyes were closed. Just then, he slowly open his eyes.
“You make a wish?” you asked. He nodded. You kept yourself silent, hesitating to ask him or not. “Do you want to hear my wish?” he asked. You nodded.
He slowly turned to you and stared as you stared back. With a serious face, he said, “I wish you to forget about Youngmin and started to like me instead..”
