CHAPTER 11
“Okay.. First, hold each other’s hand.” Jr demmanded. You raised an eyebrow to him, “You must to be kidding me!” you said.
Jr shook his head, “No, I’m not. It’s a part of a body contact.” Jr explained. “Why are you keep saying that freaking ‘body contact’?!” you rolled your eyes.
“Aish! Just do what I say.” Jr shrugged. “Yah! I’m your noona so stop ordering me!” you snapped. “You’re not my noona for now. I’m trying to help you two so please just do what I say.” he begged.
“No.” you blurted but Ren suddenly took your hand. You gulped, “Yah! What are you doing?! Don’t touch me!” you shrugged but he just ignored you and took your other hand with his other hand.
“Good!” Jr said. You shot him a look but he didn’t care to argue with you. “Now, look to each other’s eyes.” he ordered once again.
You rolled your eyes and look the other way to make your cousin pissed but to your surprised, Jr walked to the teo of you as he position you two to look at each other.
“Yah! I don’t want!” you shrugged but he was too strong plus, Ren was holding your both hands.
Without a choice, you stared at Ren, eye to eye. At the time you look at him, you couldn’t take your eyes off from him. When you look at his eyes, you see a sparkle on it. You also noticed his smooth skin even you still didn’t touch it.
“Ren move closer to her.” Jr ordered aa Ren move closer and closer to you. “Hold her waist too. Noona, put your hands on his shoulder.” Jr ordered once again.
Little did you know, you put your both hands to his shoulder not knowing what you were doing. Ren hold your waist as he slowly coming closer to you.
His eyes still on yours as your gaze suddenly landed to his red lips. *I wonder what it taste..* you thought.
*Eh? What I am thinking? Snap it out, Minyoung-ah.. He’s your rival!* you finally back to the reality as you quickly pushed him away from you that made him landed on the floor.
“Ouch!” Ren winced. Jr rushed to him, “Gwenchana?” he asked. Ren slowly nodded, “Uh yeah.. Don’t worry.”
“Yah! Noona, why did you push him?!” Jr frowned at you. “Wae? I said I don’t want to do it on the first place so don’t ask me. And I’m already tired now.” you eyed Ren, “Go home now, I want to take a rest.” you turned to Jr, “You too.” with that, you darted outside the practice room tgen to your room.
Ren raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “Don’t mind her. She’s weird sometimes.” Jr said. Ren just nodded as he carefully stood up.
“Come on, I’ll walk you out.” Jr said as Ren nodded and followed him.
“You’re not going home yet?” Ren asked Jr as they reach the main door. Jr shook his head, “I’ll try to convince noona to have a practice with you for tomorrow.” he said.
Ren nodded in understanding, “I’ll go ahead now.” with that, Ren leave your mansion.

You put your right hand to your chest as you laid on your bed, “That was too close..” you mumbled to yourself.

Knock! Knock!
You suddenly heard a knock coming from the door. You snapped out your thought and back to reality.
“Come in.” you said. Your door slowly open as you saw Jr stepped inside. You raised an eyebrow to him, “What areyou doing here? Didn’t I tell you to go home now.” you said.
He sat next to you, “Aish! I just want to stay with you today, don’t you want too?” he asked. “Yeah, I don’t want!” you snapped.
“But maybe this will be our last meeting.” he whispered. You made a pause and slowly look at him, “What do you mean?” you asked.
“I’m going to States to continue my study there.” he said. “But why there? Don’t you want to study here?” you asked.
“I do but I need to study there. You know dad, right? All he said will always granted.” he said. You lowered your head, sad. “I thought we can get along again like before.” you said.
“Aish! We still have time. Come on!” Jr grabbed her hand as he dragged her outside the mansion.
“Yah! Where are we going?” you asked. “We’re going to have fun!” he smiled as he continue to dragged you away.
---
You and Jr stopped at the Mall. “Yah! Why so hurry?” you snapped. “Because my flight is at night.” he simply said.
“What?” you asked as you stopped him from dragging you away. “Let’s just enjoy our last meeting okay..” he rolled his eyes.
“This is not our last meeting.” you snapped. “What?” he asked.
“You’re just going to there only to study so you’re still coming back, right?” you asked. He nodded. “Then, I’ll for you.” you said.
He smiled, “Shall we go now?” he asked. You smiled and nodded.
You two went to the archade place as you two make yoursleves busy on playing. After that, both you and Jr eat at your favorite restaurant. The last place you two went was the park.
“Let’s wait for the fireworks.” Jr said as you look at him and nodded.
Just then, the fireworks started to appeared on the sky. You started to lightened up as Jr glance down at youa nd smiled.

“Can you take me at the airport?” Jr asked you as you two planning to go home. You smiled and nodded, “Of course!” Jr smiled.

“Take care of yourself there, araseo?” you said, trying to hold your tears when you two arrived at the airport.
Jr nodded. “Go inside now.” you said s you nodded him to go. “Um.. Can you please make me a favor before I leave?” he asked.
You just nodded. “Can you please start practicing with Ren?” he asked. You frowned, “What? No!” you blurted.
He pouted, “But this is for your own sake. I know that your parents would be upset when your grades go low. Do you want to happen that?” he asked.
You shook your head.
“Then listen to me, go and do the performance with Ren.” he said. You let out a sigh, “Araseo.”
Jr smiled, “Before I go, I want to remind you to don’t forget what I teach you at the practice earlier hmm?”
You nodded.
“The body contact, don’t forget.” he reminded. You rolled your eyes but nodded again. “Be friends with Ren, okay?” he said.
You nodded once again.
Jr smiled, “Goodbye noona!” he waved and with that, he immediately went in.
You back to reality, “Wait! What? Be friends with my rival?” you mumbled to yourself.
You look up only to see Jr afar. “YAH! PARK JINYOUNG!” you said out loud but Jr was nowhere to be seen. The people around the airport looked at you and started whispering.
You force a smile as you lowered your head, *This is so embarassing..*
Just then, you pulled out your phone and started to text.

Ren was already lying on the bed when his phone suddenly rang. He reach it out and surprised to see your name as a sender.

You frowned and rolled your eyes, *Be thankful that I need to do this for my parents..* you then went upstairs.
CHAPTER 13
The next day was considering another bad day for you since you need to see your rival again.
As you sat up from your bed, you heard your phone rang. You raised an eyebrow and reach it. You furrowed your eyebrows together after seeing the sender’s name.

Good morning Minyoung-ah! I just want to remind you for our practice today. I’ll wait here in our house.

You raised an eyebrow, *What he thinks he are to text me like this? We’re not even that close! Babo!*
With that, you got off from your bed and went straight to your bathroom. Hour later, you finally done and ready to leave the mansion.
As you went downstairs, the maids greeted you as you replied them a warm smile. “Umm.. are my parents didn’t come back home yet?” you asked one of the maids. She shook her head, “They still on the trip Agashi.” she replied.
Head lowered, you let out a heavy sigh. “Uh-oh.. I’m going out.” you said. They all bowed, “Go safe Agashi.” they all said at the same time.
You hopped inside your car as you darted to the address that Ren texted to you laat night.
As you finally reach his house, your eyes widen in surprised. His house was big as yours. Suddenly, the guard came out and snapped you. You open your car window, “I’m Ren’s classmate.” you said.
“Uh-oh.. You must be Ms. Minyoung.” the guards said as you nodded. He nodded in understanding as he carefully open the door for you. With that, you entered the gate with your car.
After parking your car, you headed to the house. The maids were busy on their works as you stepped inside the house.
Just then, one maid approach you. “Who are you Agashi?” she asked. “Um.. Er.. I’m Ren’s classmate.” you said. She nodded, “You must be Ms. Minyoung..” she said and smiled. *Why does all of them know me?* you force a smile and nodded.
“Please take a sit first Agashi.” the maid led the way as you followed. Just then, another maid came with a glass of juice and offered it to you.
You warmly took it with a smile, “Gomawo..”
You took a sip on your juice when you suddenly saw a beautiful woman walked passed by made a stopped and look at you with a serious face. You swallowed hard as you put the juice on the table in front of you. You weakly smile at her.
The woman walked to you but her expression suddenly brightened. *Eh? What happen with her expression?* you wondered.
She bent down at you, “Are you by any chance.. Park Minyoung?” she asked as you silently nodded. She smiled even more as she sat next you that made you jump a little.
“I’m Choi Mina, I’m Ren’s mother.” she introduced herself. Your eyes widen, *His mom?* you immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees to her, “Annyeong haseyo Mrs. Choi. Park Minyoung-imnida. It’s nice to meet you Mrs. Choi.” you said.
She chuckled as she patted the sit next to her, “Sit.” she said as you did.
Mrs. Choi stared at you. You started to felt uneasy because of the stares. “They are all wrong..” you heard her said. “Ne?” you asked, confused.
“They said Ren is prettier than you..” she started. *Uh-oh..* your face fell. “..but I think you’re prettier than my son.” Mrs. Choi continue and smiled.
You stared at her with a blank expression. *Did she just said I’m prettier?* “You’re so cute.” she commented as she suddenly hugged you. You were shock by the sudden hug but at the same time felt warm. You didn’t feel that kind of feeling before, a hug from a mother.
“I always want to have a daughter. Please let me hug you for a moment.” you heard her whispered. You softened. You didn’t shrugged and let her hug you.
Suddenly, you heard a voice said. “Omma, what are you doing? Let her go.” Ren appeared.
Mrs. Choi broke the hug as she give Ren an amuse smile, “Just tell me straightly that you’re jealous! Silly!” Mrs. Choi teased him. “Eh?” he gasped.
Mrs. Choi stood up as walked to him to give him a hug, “I know you want my hug too, aren’t you?” she said. You couldn’t help but chuckled by the scene in front of you.
Ren pulled away, “Omma, you embarassing me.” he said. “Aigoo! My son is so cute..” she said as she poked his cheek. You chuckled once again.
“Aish omma.. We’ll going to practice now.” Ren walked to you as he grabbed your hand and dragged you away. You looked back at Mrs. Choi as she gave you a sweet smile.
You smiled back as turned to Ren, *You’re so lucky to have a mom like her..*
CHAPTER 14
You and Ren arrived at the practice room, not even knowing that you two were still holding each other’s hand.
“Don’t mind my omma.” Ren said. You look up and shook your head, “No, it’s okay. Your omma is so funny.” you chuckled.
“You looks better when you’re smiling.” you heard him whispered that made you look at him.
You slowly lowered your head and noticed that you were holding each other’s hand.
You quickly pulled out your hand from him, “Neo! How dare you to held my hand?!” you pointed to him.
“Yah! You also held my hand!” he protested. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!”
“Come on, let’s start our practice.” Ren said. You let out a sigh, *Dance. Dance. Dance. So hard!*
“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.” you heard him said. “Yeah. I’m more worried because you’re the one who’s going to teach me. Psh!” you rolled your eyes.
He pouted, “Tsk! Let’s just start okay..” he snapped. “Do I have a choice?” you snapped. He replied you a smile. You rolled your eyes.
With that, Ren started to teach you. He teach you the very easy steps or basic steps. At first, you couldn’t get it of course but little by little, you started to get it. “Good.” Ren said.
“Let’s try it again.” Ren said as you nodded trying to focus yourself on the practice.
Both of you did it again from the start. “You’re good.” Ren commented. “I know right.” you snapped. He chuckled.
“Wanna take a break first?” Ren asked, you nodded. Both you and Ren sat on the floor to take a break. “Your omma.,” you started.
“Uh.. About my omma, I’m sorry. She’s a bit crazy sometimes.” Ren said. You stared at the floor and shook your head, “No. I actually like her. You’re so lucky to have a mother like her.” you softly stated.
Ren gaze down at you, amused. He open his mouth to say a word but cut off when the door suddenly open. You and Ren looked up and saw the maid went in.
She bowed, “I brought a food for you two.” she said. “Uh.. Just leave it there.” Ren said.
The maid did. She bowed once agin before she left. Ren stood up and get the food then went back to you.
“Eat.” he said. You didn’t say a word and just started to eat. Ren smiled at you as he also started to eat.
Hour later, you and Ren get ready to practice again.
“Let’s try the body contact this time.” he said. “What?! Andwae!!” you blurted and was about to esape but Ren caught your waist and pulled you closer to him.
“Too late. You’re already stuck with me.” he whispered to you. You narrowed his eyes to him. You pressed your both hands to his chest to push him but he held you tightly and pulled you more closer to him.
“You can’t go anywhere.” he give you a teasing smile. “Yah! Let me go!” you shrugged.
“Not until you participate with me.” he conditioned. You didn’t replied and remained silent.
You just stared at him in the eyes. Ren stared back. Suddenly, you slowly coming closer to his facez. Ren stayed still.
You continued coming closer and closer to him until both of your lips were only few inches from each other. You kept coming closer when Ren slowly close his eyes.
A smirk formed on your face when you saw his expression. You lean in to his ear and whispered, “Waiting for a kiss hmm..” you finally get a chance to get off from him and darted outside the practice room.
Ren’s eyes popped open with a blank expression.
CHAPTER 15
You was about to leave Ren’s house when Ren’s mother saw you. “Uh.. Minyoung-ah, where are you going?” she asked.
“Uh-oh.. Mrs. Choi, our practice was already finished and I was about to go home now.” you replied.
“Eh? Why so fast? Can you stay here for a while?” she asked. You bit your lower lip, “Um.. Mian but I really need to go now.” you said.
Mrs. Choi’s face fell, “Uh.. But you will visit here again right?” she asked you with a smile.
You force a smile, “yeah, maybe.” you replied. “I’ll take it as a yes then.” with that, she hug you tight that made you surprised.
She then released you, “I’ll be waiting for you.” she said. You fake a smile and just nodded. With that, you left their house.
---
As you went home, your parents still didn’t come back home yet. As always, you eat dinner alone by yourself.
After the dinner, you went straight to your room and laid on your bed. Still awake, you stared at the ceiling. “How I wish I have a mother like Mrs. Choi..” you whispered as you close your eyes and went to sleep.
---
Morning came. Your parents were still nowhere to be seen aroung the house.
You hopped to your car and droved off to school. Right after you arrived at the school, Ren was the first one you saw. He is also going to the classroom like you.
Without a choice, you walked to the classroom with him. “Are we going to have a practice after class?” Ren suddenly asked.
“No. Not now.” you said. “Why not?” he asked. “I don’t feel like practicing today.” you simply replied.
“What? Is that a reason?” he hissed. “That’s a reason for me.” you rolled your eyes and walk passed by him and entered the classroom.
Ren raised an eyebrow as he watch you entering the classroom. He shook his head and followed you to enter the classroom.

“Minyoung-ah!” Minhyun called. You smiled, “Uh.. Minhyun oppa!” you brightened as you walked to him. JR, Baekho and Aron are also with him.
Just then, Ren appeared. “Uh.. You’re with Ren?” Baekho pointed at Ren.
You look back to see Ren. You rolled your eyes, “No.” “Then why you two arrived here together?” JR asked. “Coincidence.” you just said. They jist nodded in understanding.
Ren walked in and sat on his seat.
“Um.. By the way, is your practice with Ren going well?” Aron asked you that made Ren to look at you.
“Yeah. It went well I think. Especially our LAST practice.” you emphasized the word ‘last’ that made Ren remembered the body contact, the part that you two almost kiss.
Ren froze. You smirked at Ren after seeing his reaction. “I’ll go to my seat now oppas.” with that, you headed to your seat.
*Hahahaha! I like to tease him. So much fun.*
---
After class. You, Minhyun, Baekho, Aron and JR walked out from the classroom to leave. Luckily, Ren didn’t approach your friends. Maybe because of what you did.
Outside the classroom, a car suddenly stopped in front of you and your friends. To your surprised, a familiar figure went out from the car.
“Mrs. Choi?” you gasped. “Hello Minyoung-ah..” Mrs. Choi brightly smile at you and give you a hug. Releasing you, Mrs. Choi give you another smile. You couldn’t help but smiled back.
“Who is she?” Minhyun elbowed you. Mrs. Choi quickly noticed it. “Uh.. I’m Ren’s mother by the way. Are you Minyoung’s friends?” she asked.
They all nodded. “Woah! You’re pretty too like Ren.” Aron commented. Mrs. Choi blushed, “I know right.”
“Mrs. Choi, are you looking for Ren?” JR asked. You were expecting her to say yes but you saw her shook her head. “No, I’m here for Minyoung.” she replied as she look at you and smiled.

They all nodded, “Your mother is so pretty.” Aron commented. “Why did she take Minyoung?” he asked. “We don’t know.” JR replied.
Ren frowned, *Aish! Omma is really something!*

Minutes later, the car suddenly stopped in front if the mall. You and Mrs. Choi went out from the car.
“What are we doing here?” you asked. “Window shopping!” Mrs. Choi beamed.
“Eh?” you gasped as you look at her, surprised. “I don’t want to go shopping alone that’s why I bring you here. Kaja!” she took your arm and dragged you inside the mall.
“Um.. Mrs. Choi.. Why did you bring me here instead of Ren?” you suddenly asked. Mrs. Choi turned to you and smiled, “Because he’s a boy and you’re a girl like me.” she simply replied.
“But he does look like a girl.” you muttered. “But he’s still a boy.” Mrs. Choi snapped. “Right.” you give her a small smile.
Mrs. Choi chuckled as she took your hand and dragged you to the ladies section.

“I want to.” Mrs. Choi replied with a smile then turned to the sales lady, “I’ll pay for it.” she said.

“Aish! You must be thankful.” she hissed. “What?” Ren asked in confusion.
“I’m just helping you..” Mrs. Choi winked and walk passed by her son. Ren frowned as his eyes suddenly widen. “Omma!!!!” he shouted and turned back but his mom was already gone.
CHAPTER 17
Next day, at school.
Ren walked to you and asked, “What my omma said to you yesterday?” You look up at him and raised an eyebrow, “Why don’t you just ask your omma instead of me?”
“She didn’t tell me that’s why I’m asking you. So.. What did she told you?” he asked once again.
“Nothing important.” you simply replied. “Yah! I’m decently asking here, can you just give me a decent answer?” he hissed.
You rolled your eyes as turned to look at the window, not wanting to continue your conversation with him.
Ren pouted and just went back to his seat.
---
Class dismissal. Ren went up to you once again. You raised an eyebrow, “What now?” you asked in annoyance.
“We’re going to have a practice.” he said. *Right! I forgot!* “Uh-oh.. Okay then. Let’t go to your house now.” you said as you stood up.
“We’re not going in my house.” he snapped. You looked at him, confused. “Wherelse then?” you asked. “Your house.” he replied. “What?!” you gasped.
“Come on. Let’s go practice at your house.” he turned around to leave but stopped halfway when he suddenly heard Minhyun’s voice.
“Minyoung-ah, do you want to hang out with us today?” Minhyun excitedly asked as he approach you.
You open your mouth to give him a response but Ren cut you off, “I’m sorry guys but she can’t. We have a practice today.”
You shot him a look but he just ignored you. “Uh.. Come on, Minhyun. Let them practice.” JR called.
Minhyun nodded in understanding, “Okay then. We’ll go ahead niw. Bye Minyoung, bye Ren!” he waved then he left with your other bestfriends.
“Wait!” you want to stop them but they already dusappeared on your sight. You turned to Ren and give him a glare, “What did you just do?”
“I didn’t do something wrong. I just told them that we have a practice and it was true.” he simply replied to you.
“Aish! Jerk!” you hissed and walk passed by him. Ren followed you.
As you hopped inside your car, Ren go inside also. You turned to him and frowned, “What are you doing?” you hissed.
“What would be? Going to your house with your car of course!” he said. “What?! Just go with your car and get off of mine!” you shrugged.
He ignored you and just get his seatbelt on to his body. You let out a sigh, gave up. With that, you start your car and droved off.
CHAPTER 18
As you reach your house, you parked your car. “Get off now.” you said to Ren before going out from your car.
Ren also did.
You led the way as Ren followed.
“Welcome home Agashi!” the maids greeted you as you entered the house. You give them a warm smile.
Suddenly, your eyes caught your parents inside the house. You brightened and immediately run to them, “Appa! Omma!” you called.
Your mom and your dad just give you a small smile. You didn’t shrugged and went to your mom. You was about to hug her but suddenly stopped when you heard her spoke, “We’re going to rest now. We’re already tired.”
Your face fell, “Uh-oh..” you lowered your head, disappointed. With that, your mom and dad headed to their room.
Your dad suddenly stopped and turned back to you, “Minyoung-ah!” he called. You lightened up once again ans raised your head to face him, “Ne?”
“Are your grades went well?” your dad asked. You nodded. “Good then. Just continue doing good at your grades araseo?” your dad said.
You nodded once again. With that, he completely disappeared on your sight.
You lowered your head again, *Are my grades is more important than my life? They didn’t even ask how my days without them.. Sad. I’m always alone.*
Ren saw all what happened and feel pity to you. *I wonder why her parents act like that towards her..*
He walked to you and gently patted your shoulder, “Gwenchana?” he asked. You look up and rolled your eyes, “As if you care! If I know, you want to laugh at me now.” you said in annoyance.
“No, you’re wrong coz I care about you!” he snapped. You froze, as if you heard was wrong.
“M-Mwo?” you managed to say. *Shit!* Ren realized that he didn’t control his words. He bit his bottom lip, “I said, let’s just practice!” he said.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you then walked straight to the practice room. Ren followed.
---
“We can stop now if you don’t want to continue.” Ren said as he noticed that you’re not focusing on the practice, still having a hard time to get the right steps.
You shook your head, “No. I need to do this or I’ll get a low grades.” you said as you continue practicing.
“Stop.” Ren calmly said to you. You ignored him and just continue learning the dance steps.
Ren couldn’t take it anymore so he grabbed your wrist, “I said stop!” he said in a loud voice that made you stunned.
CHAPTER 19
“I said stop!” he said in a loud voice that made you stunned. You look up at him, surprised.
Ren let out a sigh, “Please stop. Just rest.” he said in a soft voice. You look away as a tear suddenly slipped down to your cheek.
Next thing happen, Ren cupped your face to make you face him as he gently wiped your tear. You softened.
“Don’t cry. It doesn’t suit you. You look ugly while you are crying.” he said in a very calm voice.
Your expression suddenly change into anger. You shot him a glare and pushed his hand away from your face, “If I’m ugly, you are..” you couldn’t find a word to continue your sentence.
“I am what?” he snapped. “Nevermind!” you rolled your eyes.
You noticed that Ren started to laugh. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?” you asked in annoyance. “You.” he pointed at you.
“Mwo?!” you glared at him. “You looks better when you’re mad. It suits you.” he said.
You didn’t know if this is a compliment or not that you didn’t know how you react. You just rolled your eyes and sat to rest.
Ren sat next to you, “Do you want to continue our practice tomorrow?” he asked. You rolled your eyes, “Of course! That’s what I really want. I’m already tired.” you replied.
He stood up, “So.. I think, I’m going now.” he said as he look down at you. You nodded, “Good decision.” you said.
Ren rolled his eyes, “Can you walk me out? I hope you won’t mind.” he said. “Psh! Araseo. Come on, I’ll walk you out.” you said as you led the way. Ren followed.
---
As you and Ren went out from the practice room, your parents were already eating their dinner. You walked to them.
“Omma, appa, my classmate will going now.” you said. They just reply you a nod.
You sighed and look at Ren, “Come on, I’ll walk you out.” you said. Ren nodded and followed.
“Let’s have a practice tomorrow on your place instead of mine.” you said to Ren as both of you reach the main door.
Ren nodded in understanding. He knew that you’re not happy with your parents attitude. With that, he left.
You went back to your parents to join them for dinner. Silence filled the atmosphere as you and your parents were eating.
“Um... Omma, are you busy tomorrow? Why don’t we go to mall ans have a window shopping!” you brightly beamed that broke the silence.
Your mom give you a serious look, “Window shopping? What comes to your mind to think about that kind of thing? You know that I’m always busy to those kind of things so you better not ask me about that again.” she said.
You stunned, disappointed. “Um.. Appa—” before you could finish your sentence, he cut you off.
“Just focus on your study instead of wasting your time with those things!” your dad snapped. Your shoulders fell.
“But we haven’t done family bonding before.. I just want to spend some time with you two.” you slowly said.
“Family bonding? Aren’t you already satisfied in your life now? We’re always busy so don’t mentioning about other things again. All you need to do is to focus on your study and show us your high grades.” your mom replied.
You bit your bottom lip as you clenched your fist tightly. You suddenly stood up, “Are my grades always important than me? I’m a peeson who need to caught your attention. I’m trying to be patient because of you two. I’ve been hoping that our family will be a happy family like the others. All I want to do is to be with the two of you as always. Eat together, have a family bonding, window shopping with you omma and appa but what am I right now? A person that I didn’t even exist on my own parents. I’m always alone and I hate it!” you said all the things that you were hiding inside. You said it in a loud voice.
Your mom shot you a glare, “How dare you to raise your voice to your parents! You must be happy that you’re belong to the wealth family! We’re busy not because of our will only. It’s also for yours!” you mom raised her voice back.
“Not even giving me a short time to spend with?” you questioned. “Yah! Park Minyoung! Can you just stop ans continue eating? We still have work tomorrow so we need to sleep early.” your dad snapped.
You grew angry even more, “I’m sick of it. I can’t take to live in this house anymore!” you said. “Wae? You want to leave us huh? Then go, as if you have a place to stay to.” you mom said.
Without any thinking, you stormed off outside your house. Your parents didn’t dare to stop you but instead they let you go.
---
You run and run as your tears started to fall from your eyes. You passed by Ren who is walking in his way home.
“Uh.. Minyoung-ah!” he called. You didn’t noticed it and just continued running.
Ren run after you and caught your arm that made you stopped. You look back only to see Ren. Ren got shocked when he saw your tears, “Why are you crying?” he asked.
You lowered your head ans cried even more, “They doesn’t love me! They not even care about me! I didn’t exist in their life!” you shouted in anger.
On the first place, Ren was already knew who you’re talking about. Your parents. “Where are you going then?” he asked, worried. You shook your head, “Molla. Anywhere.” you replied.
“Come on, just stay at my place.” he said s he grabbed your hand. You look at him, surprised. You wiped your tears, “What?!” you gasped.
“I won’t let you go in this hour.” he said. “But why?” you asked.
Ren paused, “Because you’re a girl. I won’t let any girl to be alone in this hour.” he muttered.
“But—” “No buts! Just go with me if you don’t want to get rape here.” he warned. You gulped nd quickly agreed to him. “So.. Where’s your car?” you asked.
“I left it at school remember?” he reminded. “What are we going to use then?” you asked. “We’re taking a bus.” he said. “M-Mwo?!” you gasped. “No way!” you protested.
“Taking a bus or getting rape here with some mens?” he questioned. “Bus.” you snapped as you walked passed by him. Ren followed.
---
“Where’s your house again?” you asked as you two get off from the bus. “There!” he pointed. “Eh? But I coudn’t see.” you said as you look around.
“We still need to walk a little bit to reach our house.” he said. You nodded in understanding.
As you two were walking, you walked passed by a happily family that were walking yogether with holding each other’s hand.
You remembered what happen earlier at your house. You started to think about it until you accidentally twisted your ankle because of your high heels.
Luckily, Ren caught you in time. “Gwenchana?” he asked. Instead of replying him a word, you burst into tears.
“Minyoung-ah..” Ren whispered. “Aish! Stupid heels! I hate it! Why your house is so far?! Now, it will be hard for me to walk there!” you hissed. All your anger towards your parents makes you blamed the other things.
Ren stooped down. “What are you doing?” you asked as you look down at him. “Get on, I’ll carry you until we reach our house.” he said.
You just stood there, tears didn’t stop on flowing down to your cheeks. Ren sighed as he grabbed your arm that made you hopped in his back. Now, Ren is giving you a piggy back ride to his way home.
You started to cry even more on his shoulder. Ren softened and let you cry until his shoulder became wet as he continued walking to his way home.
CHAPTER 20
“Omo! What happen to her?” Ren’s mom rushed to the two of you as both you and Ren reach his house.
Ren ignored her mom’s words instead he said, “Omma, help me make her sat on the couch.” “Uh-oh..” Mrs. Choi nodded as sge and Ren carefully sat you on the couch.
As your butt already touch the couch, your tears started to fall again. ‘What happen to her?’ Mrs. Choi mouthed at Ren. He didn’t respond but look down at you, worried.
Mrs. Choi turned to you, “Minyoung-ah.. What happen? Gwenchana?” she asked. You look up at her as another tear slipped down to your cheek.
Instead of giving her a reply, you immediately hugged her and burst into tears along with your sobs. Mrs. Choi softened as she gently patted your back. Ren sat next to you and worriedly watched you.
Minutes later, you grew tired on crying. You broke the hug and flatted your back on the back of the couch. “Tell me, what happen?” Mrs. Choi asked you. “My parents.” you said. Mrs. Choi made a pause on it.
Just then, you continued. “They don’t love. I’m not important to them at all.” another tear slipped down to your cheek.
Mrs. Choi wiped it, “Don’t cry. I can be your mom for a while if you want.” she said and smiled. You give her a small smile, “I’m happy that there’s still a person who willing to be my mom but even if I accept it, my mom is still my mom.” you said.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“I don’t have any place to stay. Mrs. Choi, can I stay here for a while?” you asked that broke the silence. “Of course, you can. And just call me omma okay.” she replied. You just nodded, “Gomawo.”
Another silence filled the atmosphere.
“Um.. Did you already eat?” Mrs. Choi suddenly changed the topic. You shook your head, “I was about to but my parents ruin it.” you replied.
“What do you want to eat then?” she asked. “I just feel like want to eat dukbokki.” you said.
Mrs. Choi brightened, “Okay then! I’ll be preparing a special dukbokki for you.” she beamed as she stood up and went to kitchen.
A smile formed on your lips because of the hyper aura of Mrs. Choi. “How I wish I have a mom like her..” you whispered.
Ren look down at you. He took your hand that made you turned to him. “Don’t be sad. Just forget about what happen earlier and enjoy yourself here at our house.” he said.
You softened as a sudden smile formed on your face. “Perfect! You looks better when you smiled.” he mutteted as he smiled back at you.
You two just stared to each other for a long period of time. Just then, Mrs. Choi came, “Special dukbokki is ready~” she sang.
You and Ren broke the staring scene as he look away and you look down that made you noticed that Ren was still holding your hand.
You immediately removed it and look to Mrs. Choi direction. “I’m going to eat now!” you beamed as you stood up, forgetting that your ankle was still unconcious. You lost your balance but to your luck, Ren caught you in time. “Be careful. Your ankle still sprained.” he said. “Uh.. I forgot.” you mumbled.
Without asking your permission, Ren carry you bridal style. “What are you doing?” you asked him. “You can’t walk so I’m helping you.” he simply said as he took you to the dining area.
---
“How does it taste?” Mrs. Choi asked you as you started to swallowed the dukbokki.
Mrs. Choi was waiting for your answer and so was Ren. Your expression didn’t change on being serious.
Suddenly, they saw you smiled. “It taste good! The best dukbokki I’ve ever eat!” you complimented. Mrs. Choi sighed in relief, “I thought, you won’t like it.” she whispered.
“Of course not! It’s taste good. No, it’s perfect to be exact!” you said. Mrs. Choi smiled even wide, “That’s also Ren’s favorite food. My special dukbokki. Right son?” she winked at Ren.
“Uh-oh.. Ne.” he showed you a small smile. “Uh.. I’ll continue to eat now.” you said as you continued your food to avoide his eyes and so did Ren.
Mrs. Choi couldn’t help but giggled, “You two looks good together!” she beamed that made both you and Ren choked. Mrs. Choi chuckled, “Oops!”
---
“Ren, take her to your room now.” Mrs. Choi said after all of you finished the food.
Both you and Ren turned to Mrs. Choi and gasped at the same time, “My room?!” “His room?!”
“Oops! I made a mistake there. I mean.. Take her to the guess room.” Mrs. Choi excused. “Uh-oh..” Ren nodded.
Ren was about to carry you but you stopped him. “I can walk.” you said. He just nodded and let you walk but failed coz your ankle still not in a good condition. Ren grabbed your waist and carry you bridal style like what he did earlier. “I knew you can’t walk. Just let me help you.” was all he said as he started walking to the way to the guess room.
Your heartbeat started to beat faster than the normal beat. *Omo! What’s happening to me?*
“Okay.. First, hold each other’s hand.” Jr demmanded. You raised an eyebrow to him, “You must to be kidding me!” you said.
Jr shook his head, “No, I’m not. It’s a part of a body contact.” Jr explained. “Why are you keep saying that freaking ‘body contact’?!” you rolled your eyes.
“Aish! Just do what I say.” Jr shrugged. “Yah! I’m your noona so stop ordering me!” you snapped. “You’re not my noona for now. I’m trying to help you two so please just do what I say.” he begged.
“No.” you blurted but Ren suddenly took your hand. You gulped, “Yah! What are you doing?! Don’t touch me!” you shrugged but he just ignored you and took your other hand with his other hand.
“Good!” Jr said. You shot him a look but he didn’t care to argue with you. “Now, look to each other’s eyes.” he ordered once again.
You rolled your eyes and look the other way to make your cousin pissed but to your surprised, Jr walked to the teo of you as he position you two to look at each other.
“Yah! I don’t want!” you shrugged but he was too strong plus, Ren was holding your both hands.
Without a choice, you stared at Ren, eye to eye. At the time you look at him, you couldn’t take your eyes off from him. When you look at his eyes, you see a sparkle on it. You also noticed his smooth skin even you still didn’t touch it.
“Ren move closer to her.” Jr ordered aa Ren move closer and closer to you. “Hold her waist too. Noona, put your hands on his shoulder.” Jr ordered once again.
Little did you know, you put your both hands to his shoulder not knowing what you were doing. Ren hold your waist as he slowly coming closer to you.
His eyes still on yours as your gaze suddenly landed to his red lips. *I wonder what it taste..* you thought.
*Eh? What I am thinking? Snap it out, Minyoung-ah.. He’s your rival!* you finally back to the reality as you quickly pushed him away from you that made him landed on the floor.
“Ouch!” Ren winced. Jr rushed to him, “Gwenchana?” he asked. Ren slowly nodded, “Uh yeah.. Don’t worry.”
“Yah! Noona, why did you push him?!” Jr frowned at you. “Wae? I said I don’t want to do it on the first place so don’t ask me. And I’m already tired now.” you eyed Ren, “Go home now, I want to take a rest.” you turned to Jr, “You too.” with that, you darted outside the practice room tgen to your room.
Ren raised an eyebrow, puzzled. “Don’t mind her. She’s weird sometimes.” Jr said. Ren just nodded as he carefully stood up.
“Come on, I’ll walk you out.” Jr said as Ren nodded and followed him.
“You’re not going home yet?” Ren asked Jr as they reach the main door. Jr shook his head, “I’ll try to convince noona to have a practice with you for tomorrow.” he said.
Ren nodded in understanding, “I’ll go ahead now.” with that, Ren leave your mansion.
---
You put your right hand to your chest as you laid on your bed, “That was too close..” you mumbled to yourself.
CHAPTER 12
Knock! Knock!
You suddenly heard a knock coming from the door. You snapped out your thought and back to reality.
“Come in.” you said. Your door slowly open as you saw Jr stepped inside. You raised an eyebrow to him, “What areyou doing here? Didn’t I tell you to go home now.” you said.
He sat next to you, “Aish! I just want to stay with you today, don’t you want too?” he asked. “Yeah, I don’t want!” you snapped.
“But maybe this will be our last meeting.” he whispered. You made a pause and slowly look at him, “What do you mean?” you asked.
“I’m going to States to continue my study there.” he said. “But why there? Don’t you want to study here?” you asked.
“I do but I need to study there. You know dad, right? All he said will always granted.” he said. You lowered your head, sad. “I thought we can get along again like before.” you said.
“Aish! We still have time. Come on!” Jr grabbed her hand as he dragged her outside the mansion.
“Yah! Where are we going?” you asked. “We’re going to have fun!” he smiled as he continue to dragged you away.
---
You and Jr stopped at the Mall. “Yah! Why so hurry?” you snapped. “Because my flight is at night.” he simply said.
“What?” you asked as you stopped him from dragging you away. “Let’s just enjoy our last meeting okay..” he rolled his eyes.
“This is not our last meeting.” you snapped. “What?” he asked.
“You’re just going to there only to study so you’re still coming back, right?” you asked. He nodded. “Then, I’ll for you.” you said.
He smiled, “Shall we go now?” he asked. You smiled and nodded.
You two went to the archade place as you two make yoursleves busy on playing. After that, both you and Jr eat at your favorite restaurant. The last place you two went was the park.
“Let’s wait for the fireworks.” Jr said as you look at him and nodded.
Just then, the fireworks started to appeared on the sky. You started to lightened up as Jr glance down at youa nd smiled.
---
“Can you take me at the airport?” Jr asked you as you two planning to go home. You smiled and nodded, “Of course!” Jr smiled.
---
“Take care of yourself there, araseo?” you said, trying to hold your tears when you two arrived at the airport.
Jr nodded. “Go inside now.” you said s you nodded him to go. “Um.. Can you please make me a favor before I leave?” he asked.
You just nodded. “Can you please start practicing with Ren?” he asked. You frowned, “What? No!” you blurted.
He pouted, “But this is for your own sake. I know that your parents would be upset when your grades go low. Do you want to happen that?” he asked.
You shook your head.
“Then listen to me, go and do the performance with Ren.” he said. You let out a sigh, “Araseo.”
Jr smiled, “Before I go, I want to remind you to don’t forget what I teach you at the practice earlier hmm?”
You nodded.
“The body contact, don’t forget.” he reminded. You rolled your eyes but nodded again. “Be friends with Ren, okay?” he said.
You nodded once again.
Jr smiled, “Goodbye noona!” he waved and with that, he immediately went in.
You back to reality, “Wait! What? Be friends with my rival?” you mumbled to yourself.
You look up only to see Jr afar. “YAH! PARK JINYOUNG!” you said out loud but Jr was nowhere to be seen. The people around the airport looked at you and started whispering.
You force a smile as you lowered your head, *This is so embarassing..*
Just then, you pulled out your phone and started to text.
---
Ren was already lying on the bed when his phone suddenly rang. He reach it out and surprised to see your name as a sender.
to: Ren
Give me your address. Let’s start practiving at your house tomorrow.
from: Minyoung
A smile formed on his face after reading your message.

As you went back home, you suddenly received a text message from Ren.
to: Minyoung
I’m glad that you want to do it with me now. By the way, here’s my address. **************. Se you tomorrow. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
from: Rival
You frowned and rolled your eyes, *Be thankful that I need to do this for my parents..* you then went upstairs.
CHAPTER 13
The next day was considering another bad day for you since you need to see your rival again.
As you sat up from your bed, you heard your phone rang. You raised an eyebrow and reach it. You furrowed your eyebrows together after seeing the sender’s name.
to: Minyoung
Good morning Minyoung-ah! I just want to remind you for our practice today. I’ll wait here in our house.
from: Rival
You raised an eyebrow, *What he thinks he are to text me like this? We’re not even that close! Babo!*
With that, you got off from your bed and went straight to your bathroom. Hour later, you finally done and ready to leave the mansion.
As you went downstairs, the maids greeted you as you replied them a warm smile. “Umm.. are my parents didn’t come back home yet?” you asked one of the maids. She shook her head, “They still on the trip Agashi.” she replied.
Head lowered, you let out a heavy sigh. “Uh-oh.. I’m going out.” you said. They all bowed, “Go safe Agashi.” they all said at the same time.
You hopped inside your car as you darted to the address that Ren texted to you laat night.
As you finally reach his house, your eyes widen in surprised. His house was big as yours. Suddenly, the guard came out and snapped you. You open your car window, “I’m Ren’s classmate.” you said.
“Uh-oh.. You must be Ms. Minyoung.” the guards said as you nodded. He nodded in understanding as he carefully open the door for you. With that, you entered the gate with your car.
After parking your car, you headed to the house. The maids were busy on their works as you stepped inside the house.
Just then, one maid approach you. “Who are you Agashi?” she asked. “Um.. Er.. I’m Ren’s classmate.” you said. She nodded, “You must be Ms. Minyoung..” she said and smiled. *Why does all of them know me?* you force a smile and nodded.
“Please take a sit first Agashi.” the maid led the way as you followed. Just then, another maid came with a glass of juice and offered it to you.
You warmly took it with a smile, “Gomawo..”
You took a sip on your juice when you suddenly saw a beautiful woman walked passed by made a stopped and look at you with a serious face. You swallowed hard as you put the juice on the table in front of you. You weakly smile at her.
The woman walked to you but her expression suddenly brightened. *Eh? What happen with her expression?* you wondered.
She bent down at you, “Are you by any chance.. Park Minyoung?” she asked as you silently nodded. She smiled even more as she sat next you that made you jump a little.
“I’m Choi Mina, I’m Ren’s mother.” she introduced herself. Your eyes widen, *His mom?* you immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees to her, “Annyeong haseyo Mrs. Choi. Park Minyoung-imnida. It’s nice to meet you Mrs. Choi.” you said.
She chuckled as she patted the sit next to her, “Sit.” she said as you did.
Mrs. Choi stared at you. You started to felt uneasy because of the stares. “They are all wrong..” you heard her said. “Ne?” you asked, confused.
“They said Ren is prettier than you..” she started. *Uh-oh..* your face fell. “..but I think you’re prettier than my son.” Mrs. Choi continue and smiled.
You stared at her with a blank expression. *Did she just said I’m prettier?* “You’re so cute.” she commented as she suddenly hugged you. You were shock by the sudden hug but at the same time felt warm. You didn’t feel that kind of feeling before, a hug from a mother.
“I always want to have a daughter. Please let me hug you for a moment.” you heard her whispered. You softened. You didn’t shrugged and let her hug you.
Suddenly, you heard a voice said. “Omma, what are you doing? Let her go.” Ren appeared.
Mrs. Choi broke the hug as she give Ren an amuse smile, “Just tell me straightly that you’re jealous! Silly!” Mrs. Choi teased him. “Eh?” he gasped.
Mrs. Choi stood up as walked to him to give him a hug, “I know you want my hug too, aren’t you?” she said. You couldn’t help but chuckled by the scene in front of you.
Ren pulled away, “Omma, you embarassing me.” he said. “Aigoo! My son is so cute..” she said as she poked his cheek. You chuckled once again.
“Aish omma.. We’ll going to practice now.” Ren walked to you as he grabbed your hand and dragged you away. You looked back at Mrs. Choi as she gave you a sweet smile.
You smiled back as turned to Ren, *You’re so lucky to have a mom like her..*
CHAPTER 14
You and Ren arrived at the practice room, not even knowing that you two were still holding each other’s hand.
“Don’t mind my omma.” Ren said. You look up and shook your head, “No, it’s okay. Your omma is so funny.” you chuckled.
“You looks better when you’re smiling.” you heard him whispered that made you look at him.
You slowly lowered your head and noticed that you were holding each other’s hand.
You quickly pulled out your hand from him, “Neo! How dare you to held my hand?!” you pointed to him.
“Yah! You also held my hand!” he protested. You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!”
“Come on, let’s start our practice.” Ren said. You let out a sigh, *Dance. Dance. Dance. So hard!*
“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.” you heard him said. “Yeah. I’m more worried because you’re the one who’s going to teach me. Psh!” you rolled your eyes.
He pouted, “Tsk! Let’s just start okay..” he snapped. “Do I have a choice?” you snapped. He replied you a smile. You rolled your eyes.
With that, Ren started to teach you. He teach you the very easy steps or basic steps. At first, you couldn’t get it of course but little by little, you started to get it. “Good.” Ren said.
“Let’s try it again.” Ren said as you nodded trying to focus yourself on the practice.
Both of you did it again from the start. “You’re good.” Ren commented. “I know right.” you snapped. He chuckled.
“Wanna take a break first?” Ren asked, you nodded. Both you and Ren sat on the floor to take a break. “Your omma.,” you started.
“Uh.. About my omma, I’m sorry. She’s a bit crazy sometimes.” Ren said. You stared at the floor and shook your head, “No. I actually like her. You’re so lucky to have a mother like her.” you softly stated.
Ren gaze down at you, amused. He open his mouth to say a word but cut off when the door suddenly open. You and Ren looked up and saw the maid went in.
She bowed, “I brought a food for you two.” she said. “Uh.. Just leave it there.” Ren said.
The maid did. She bowed once agin before she left. Ren stood up and get the food then went back to you.
“Eat.” he said. You didn’t say a word and just started to eat. Ren smiled at you as he also started to eat.
Hour later, you and Ren get ready to practice again.
“Let’s try the body contact this time.” he said. “What?! Andwae!!” you blurted and was about to esape but Ren caught your waist and pulled you closer to him.
“Too late. You’re already stuck with me.” he whispered to you. You narrowed his eyes to him. You pressed your both hands to his chest to push him but he held you tightly and pulled you more closer to him.
“You can’t go anywhere.” he give you a teasing smile. “Yah! Let me go!” you shrugged.
“Not until you participate with me.” he conditioned. You didn’t replied and remained silent.
You just stared at him in the eyes. Ren stared back. Suddenly, you slowly coming closer to his facez. Ren stayed still.
You continued coming closer and closer to him until both of your lips were only few inches from each other. You kept coming closer when Ren slowly close his eyes.
A smirk formed on your face when you saw his expression. You lean in to his ear and whispered, “Waiting for a kiss hmm..” you finally get a chance to get off from him and darted outside the practice room.
Ren’s eyes popped open with a blank expression.
CHAPTER 15
You was about to leave Ren’s house when Ren’s mother saw you. “Uh.. Minyoung-ah, where are you going?” she asked.
“Uh-oh.. Mrs. Choi, our practice was already finished and I was about to go home now.” you replied.
“Eh? Why so fast? Can you stay here for a while?” she asked. You bit your lower lip, “Um.. Mian but I really need to go now.” you said.
Mrs. Choi’s face fell, “Uh.. But you will visit here again right?” she asked you with a smile.
You force a smile, “yeah, maybe.” you replied. “I’ll take it as a yes then.” with that, she hug you tight that made you surprised.
She then released you, “I’ll be waiting for you.” she said. You fake a smile and just nodded. With that, you left their house.
---
As you went home, your parents still didn’t come back home yet. As always, you eat dinner alone by yourself.
After the dinner, you went straight to your room and laid on your bed. Still awake, you stared at the ceiling. “How I wish I have a mother like Mrs. Choi..” you whispered as you close your eyes and went to sleep.
---
Morning came. Your parents were still nowhere to be seen aroung the house.
You hopped to your car and droved off to school. Right after you arrived at the school, Ren was the first one you saw. He is also going to the classroom like you.
Without a choice, you walked to the classroom with him. “Are we going to have a practice after class?” Ren suddenly asked.
“No. Not now.” you said. “Why not?” he asked. “I don’t feel like practicing today.” you simply replied.
“What? Is that a reason?” he hissed. “That’s a reason for me.” you rolled your eyes and walk passed by him and entered the classroom.
Ren raised an eyebrow as he watch you entering the classroom. He shook his head and followed you to enter the classroom.
---
“Minyoung-ah!” Minhyun called. You smiled, “Uh.. Minhyun oppa!” you brightened as you walked to him. JR, Baekho and Aron are also with him.
Just then, Ren appeared. “Uh.. You’re with Ren?” Baekho pointed at Ren.
You look back to see Ren. You rolled your eyes, “No.” “Then why you two arrived here together?” JR asked. “Coincidence.” you just said. They jist nodded in understanding.
Ren walked in and sat on his seat.
“Um.. By the way, is your practice with Ren going well?” Aron asked you that made Ren to look at you.
“Yeah. It went well I think. Especially our LAST practice.” you emphasized the word ‘last’ that made Ren remembered the body contact, the part that you two almost kiss.
Ren froze. You smirked at Ren after seeing his reaction. “I’ll go to my seat now oppas.” with that, you headed to your seat.
*Hahahaha! I like to tease him. So much fun.*
---
After class. You, Minhyun, Baekho, Aron and JR walked out from the classroom to leave. Luckily, Ren didn’t approach your friends. Maybe because of what you did.
Outside the classroom, a car suddenly stopped in front of you and your friends. To your surprised, a familiar figure went out from the car.
“Mrs. Choi?” you gasped. “Hello Minyoung-ah..” Mrs. Choi brightly smile at you and give you a hug. Releasing you, Mrs. Choi give you another smile. You couldn’t help but smiled back.
“Who is she?” Minhyun elbowed you. Mrs. Choi quickly noticed it. “Uh.. I’m Ren’s mother by the way. Are you Minyoung’s friends?” she asked.
They all nodded. “Woah! You’re pretty too like Ren.” Aron commented. Mrs. Choi blushed, “I know right.”
“Mrs. Choi, are you looking for Ren?” JR asked. You were expecting her to say yes but you saw her shook her head. “No, I’m here for Minyoung.” she replied as she look at you and smiled.
“M-Me?” you gaped. She nodded and turned to your friends, “Can I borrow Minyoung for today?” she asked. “Sure Mrs. Choi.” Baekho said as the others nodded.
Your eyes widen in surprised because of their replied. You shot them a look but they didn’t even care to notice.
Mrs. Choi grabbed your hand, “Shall we go now?” she asked. You forced a smile and just nodded.
With that, you and Mrs. Choi hopped in the car.
Right after the car droved off, Ren appeared. “Wait! Isn’t my omma?” he gasped that made your friends to look at him.
They all nodded, “Your mother is so pretty.” Aron commented. “Why did she take Minyoung?” he asked. “We don’t know.” JR replied.
Ren frowned, *Aish! Omma is really something!*
CHAPTER 16
“Where are we going Mrs. Choi?” you asked her when you hopped inside the car. “You’ll see.” she replied with a smile.
“Uh..” you just nodded.
Minutes later, the car suddenly stopped in front if the mall. You and Mrs. Choi went out from the car.
“What are we doing here?” you asked. “Window shopping!” Mrs. Choi beamed.
“Eh?” you gasped as you look at her, surprised. “I don’t want to go shopping alone that’s why I bring you here. Kaja!” she took your arm and dragged you inside the mall.
“Um.. Mrs. Choi.. Why did you bring me here instead of Ren?” you suddenly asked. Mrs. Choi turned to you and smiled, “Because he’s a boy and you’re a girl like me.” she simply replied.
“But he does look like a girl.” you muttered. “But he’s still a boy.” Mrs. Choi snapped. “Right.” you give her a small smile.
Mrs. Choi chuckled as she took your hand and dragged you to the ladies section.
“Are you going to buy some clothes for you Mrs. Choi?” you asked as you turned to her. She shook her head, “We’re here to buy you some clothes.” she replied.
“Mwo?” you gasped in surprised. “Come on, let’s go there!” she dragged you away, completely ignored your reaction.
“Here. Try it.” Mrs. Choi handed you a pink simple dress. You shook your head, “No, I can’t.”
“Aish! Just try it please..” she pleaded. You force a smile and nodded. A sales lady suddenly approach the two of you, “Do you want yo try it Miss?” she asked.
Mrs. Choi nodded, “Yeah. She’s going to try it.” The sales lady nodded, “Okay Miss. This way..” sge said as she led the way. You followed.
Without a choice, you fitted the dress on you. After that, you went out from the fitting room. “Looks good to you Miss. You’re mother will surely agreed with me.” she said.
“Uh.. She’s not my mother.” you snapped. Just then, Mrs. Choi appeared. “Woah! You looks perfect!” she gasped and clapped her hand.
“I’ll get this one.” mrs. Choi said to the sales lady. You shook your head and waved at Mrs. Choi, “No. You don’t need to buy this.” you snapped.
“I want to.” Mrs. Choi replied with a smile then turned to the sales lady, “I’ll pay for it.” she said.
The sales lady nodded, “Okay ma’am.” the sales lady turned to you, “You can change now Miss so your mother can pay for it.” she said to you.
“No. She’s going to wear it today.” Mrs. Choi snapped. You look at her with wide eyes in surprised. The sales lady nodded and led the way to the counter instead.
“Let’s go buy shoes for you next.” Mrs. Choi said after paying the dress. “Eh?” you gaped.
“Come on.” she ignored you again and dragged you to the ladies shoes area. Without a choice, you let her choose a shoe for you.
As you were expected, she bought you one pretty shoe that suits with the dress that she also bought for you.
---
“You looks more perfect!” Mrs. Choi praised you as she look at you from head to toe. You smiles and thanks her.
“Come on, let’s eat. I’m already hungry.” she said. You just nodded and followed her.
You and Mrs. Choi entered a well class restaurant and eat. As you two were eating, Mrs. Choi suddenly spoke. “I enjoy this day with you Minyoung-ah..” she said and smiled.
You smiled back, “Nado.” “Um.. I thought you’re going to wait for me to visit your house?” you suddenly asked.
“Yes, that’s actually my plan but I can’t to see you again.” she giggled. You softened. “You’re like a daughter for me now so I want to spend atleast a day with you.” she added.
You smiled again as you continued eating. “Plus.. It would be good if you become Ren’s girlfriend.” Mrs. Choi simply spilled it out as she continue her food also.
You suddenly choke by her words. “Uh.. Drink this.” Mrs. Choi handed you a glass of water. You immediately took it and drink it.
You coughed after drinking the water. Mrs. Choi just giggled at your reaction. “I don’t think that would be happen.” you finally managed to say.
Mrs. Choi only replied you a smile and continue her food again. You shrugged and also continue your food.

After eating, Mrs. Choi take you home. You bowed at her, “Thanks for the dress and shoe. Also for the dinner. I enjoy this day with you Mrs. Choi.” you said.
She smiled, “Wait.” she went back to the car then went back to you with sone paper bags with her hand. “Here. Take these all.” she said as she pushed the paper bags towards you.
“But—” “Aish! I bought that for you. Just take it okay..” she cut you off. You smiled and nodded as you took the paper bags, “Gomawo Mrs. Choi.”
“You’re always welcome. Uh.. Another, stop being formal. Just call me omma.” she said.
“O-Omma?!” you gasped in surprised. She nodded, “It would be nice to hear you calling me like that since you’re like a daughter to me.” she said. You smiled and nodded, “Okay o-omma..” you still don’t used to it.
Mrs. Choi smiled, “So.. I’ll go ahead now.” You nodded and bowed again, “Annyeong Mrs.—, I mean omma..” you said. She smiled again and with that, she hopped in the car and leaved.
A smile formed on your face, *Atleast I have a caring omma now unlike my real omma..*
---
“Omma! Where did you take Minyoung?!” Ren scolded her mom as Mrs. Choi went back to their house.
“Aish! You must be thankful.” she hissed. “What?” Ren asked in confusion.
“I’m just helping you..” Mrs. Choi winked and walk passed by her son. Ren frowned as his eyes suddenly widen. “Omma!!!!” he shouted and turned back but his mom was already gone.
CHAPTER 17
Next day, at school.
Ren walked to you and asked, “What my omma said to you yesterday?” You look up at him and raised an eyebrow, “Why don’t you just ask your omma instead of me?”
“She didn’t tell me that’s why I’m asking you. So.. What did she told you?” he asked once again.
“Nothing important.” you simply replied. “Yah! I’m decently asking here, can you just give me a decent answer?” he hissed.
You rolled your eyes as turned to look at the window, not wanting to continue your conversation with him.
Ren pouted and just went back to his seat.
---
Class dismissal. Ren went up to you once again. You raised an eyebrow, “What now?” you asked in annoyance.
“We’re going to have a practice.” he said. *Right! I forgot!* “Uh-oh.. Okay then. Let’t go to your house now.” you said as you stood up.
“We’re not going in my house.” he snapped. You looked at him, confused. “Wherelse then?” you asked. “Your house.” he replied. “What?!” you gasped.
“Come on. Let’s go practice at your house.” he turned around to leave but stopped halfway when he suddenly heard Minhyun’s voice.
“Minyoung-ah, do you want to hang out with us today?” Minhyun excitedly asked as he approach you.
You open your mouth to give him a response but Ren cut you off, “I’m sorry guys but she can’t. We have a practice today.”
You shot him a look but he just ignored you. “Uh.. Come on, Minhyun. Let them practice.” JR called.
Minhyun nodded in understanding, “Okay then. We’ll go ahead niw. Bye Minyoung, bye Ren!” he waved then he left with your other bestfriends.
“Wait!” you want to stop them but they already dusappeared on your sight. You turned to Ren and give him a glare, “What did you just do?”
“I didn’t do something wrong. I just told them that we have a practice and it was true.” he simply replied to you.
“Aish! Jerk!” you hissed and walk passed by him. Ren followed you.
As you hopped inside your car, Ren go inside also. You turned to him and frowned, “What are you doing?” you hissed.
“What would be? Going to your house with your car of course!” he said. “What?! Just go with your car and get off of mine!” you shrugged.
He ignored you and just get his seatbelt on to his body. You let out a sigh, gave up. With that, you start your car and droved off.
CHAPTER 18
As you reach your house, you parked your car. “Get off now.” you said to Ren before going out from your car.
Ren also did.
You led the way as Ren followed.
“Welcome home Agashi!” the maids greeted you as you entered the house. You give them a warm smile.
Suddenly, your eyes caught your parents inside the house. You brightened and immediately run to them, “Appa! Omma!” you called.
Your mom and your dad just give you a small smile. You didn’t shrugged and went to your mom. You was about to hug her but suddenly stopped when you heard her spoke, “We’re going to rest now. We’re already tired.”
Your face fell, “Uh-oh..” you lowered your head, disappointed. With that, your mom and dad headed to their room.
Your dad suddenly stopped and turned back to you, “Minyoung-ah!” he called. You lightened up once again ans raised your head to face him, “Ne?”
“Are your grades went well?” your dad asked. You nodded. “Good then. Just continue doing good at your grades araseo?” your dad said.
You nodded once again. With that, he completely disappeared on your sight.
You lowered your head again, *Are my grades is more important than my life? They didn’t even ask how my days without them.. Sad. I’m always alone.*
Ren saw all what happened and feel pity to you. *I wonder why her parents act like that towards her..*
He walked to you and gently patted your shoulder, “Gwenchana?” he asked. You look up and rolled your eyes, “As if you care! If I know, you want to laugh at me now.” you said in annoyance.
“No, you’re wrong coz I care about you!” he snapped. You froze, as if you heard was wrong.
“M-Mwo?” you managed to say. *Shit!* Ren realized that he didn’t control his words. He bit his bottom lip, “I said, let’s just practice!” he said.
You rolled your eyes, “Whatever!” you then walked straight to the practice room. Ren followed.
---
“We can stop now if you don’t want to continue.” Ren said as he noticed that you’re not focusing on the practice, still having a hard time to get the right steps.
You shook your head, “No. I need to do this or I’ll get a low grades.” you said as you continue practicing.
“Stop.” Ren calmly said to you. You ignored him and just continue learning the dance steps.
Ren couldn’t take it anymore so he grabbed your wrist, “I said stop!” he said in a loud voice that made you stunned.
CHAPTER 19
“I said stop!” he said in a loud voice that made you stunned. You look up at him, surprised.
Ren let out a sigh, “Please stop. Just rest.” he said in a soft voice. You look away as a tear suddenly slipped down to your cheek.
Next thing happen, Ren cupped your face to make you face him as he gently wiped your tear. You softened.
“Don’t cry. It doesn’t suit you. You look ugly while you are crying.” he said in a very calm voice.
Your expression suddenly change into anger. You shot him a glare and pushed his hand away from your face, “If I’m ugly, you are..” you couldn’t find a word to continue your sentence.
“I am what?” he snapped. “Nevermind!” you rolled your eyes.
You noticed that Ren started to laugh. You raised an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?” you asked in annoyance. “You.” he pointed at you.
“Mwo?!” you glared at him. “You looks better when you’re mad. It suits you.” he said.
You didn’t know if this is a compliment or not that you didn’t know how you react. You just rolled your eyes and sat to rest.
Ren sat next to you, “Do you want to continue our practice tomorrow?” he asked. You rolled your eyes, “Of course! That’s what I really want. I’m already tired.” you replied.
He stood up, “So.. I think, I’m going now.” he said as he look down at you. You nodded, “Good decision.” you said.
Ren rolled his eyes, “Can you walk me out? I hope you won’t mind.” he said. “Psh! Araseo. Come on, I’ll walk you out.” you said as you led the way. Ren followed.
---
As you and Ren went out from the practice room, your parents were already eating their dinner. You walked to them.
“Omma, appa, my classmate will going now.” you said. They just reply you a nod.
You sighed and look at Ren, “Come on, I’ll walk you out.” you said. Ren nodded and followed.
“Let’s have a practice tomorrow on your place instead of mine.” you said to Ren as both of you reach the main door.
Ren nodded in understanding. He knew that you’re not happy with your parents attitude. With that, he left.
You went back to your parents to join them for dinner. Silence filled the atmosphere as you and your parents were eating.
“Um... Omma, are you busy tomorrow? Why don’t we go to mall ans have a window shopping!” you brightly beamed that broke the silence.
Your mom give you a serious look, “Window shopping? What comes to your mind to think about that kind of thing? You know that I’m always busy to those kind of things so you better not ask me about that again.” she said.
You stunned, disappointed. “Um.. Appa—” before you could finish your sentence, he cut you off.
“Just focus on your study instead of wasting your time with those things!” your dad snapped. Your shoulders fell.
“But we haven’t done family bonding before.. I just want to spend some time with you two.” you slowly said.
“Family bonding? Aren’t you already satisfied in your life now? We’re always busy so don’t mentioning about other things again. All you need to do is to focus on your study and show us your high grades.” your mom replied.
You bit your bottom lip as you clenched your fist tightly. You suddenly stood up, “Are my grades always important than me? I’m a peeson who need to caught your attention. I’m trying to be patient because of you two. I’ve been hoping that our family will be a happy family like the others. All I want to do is to be with the two of you as always. Eat together, have a family bonding, window shopping with you omma and appa but what am I right now? A person that I didn’t even exist on my own parents. I’m always alone and I hate it!” you said all the things that you were hiding inside. You said it in a loud voice.
Your mom shot you a glare, “How dare you to raise your voice to your parents! You must be happy that you’re belong to the wealth family! We’re busy not because of our will only. It’s also for yours!” you mom raised her voice back.
“Not even giving me a short time to spend with?” you questioned. “Yah! Park Minyoung! Can you just stop ans continue eating? We still have work tomorrow so we need to sleep early.” your dad snapped.
You grew angry even more, “I’m sick of it. I can’t take to live in this house anymore!” you said. “Wae? You want to leave us huh? Then go, as if you have a place to stay to.” you mom said.
Without any thinking, you stormed off outside your house. Your parents didn’t dare to stop you but instead they let you go.
---
You run and run as your tears started to fall from your eyes. You passed by Ren who is walking in his way home.
“Uh.. Minyoung-ah!” he called. You didn’t noticed it and just continued running.
Ren run after you and caught your arm that made you stopped. You look back only to see Ren. Ren got shocked when he saw your tears, “Why are you crying?” he asked.
You lowered your head ans cried even more, “They doesn’t love me! They not even care about me! I didn’t exist in their life!” you shouted in anger.
On the first place, Ren was already knew who you’re talking about. Your parents. “Where are you going then?” he asked, worried. You shook your head, “Molla. Anywhere.” you replied.
“Come on, just stay at my place.” he said s he grabbed your hand. You look at him, surprised. You wiped your tears, “What?!” you gasped.
“I won’t let you go in this hour.” he said. “But why?” you asked.
Ren paused, “Because you’re a girl. I won’t let any girl to be alone in this hour.” he muttered.
“But—” “No buts! Just go with me if you don’t want to get rape here.” he warned. You gulped nd quickly agreed to him. “So.. Where’s your car?” you asked.
“I left it at school remember?” he reminded. “What are we going to use then?” you asked. “We’re taking a bus.” he said. “M-Mwo?!” you gasped. “No way!” you protested.
“Taking a bus or getting rape here with some mens?” he questioned. “Bus.” you snapped as you walked passed by him. Ren followed.
---
“Where’s your house again?” you asked as you two get off from the bus. “There!” he pointed. “Eh? But I coudn’t see.” you said as you look around.
“We still need to walk a little bit to reach our house.” he said. You nodded in understanding.
As you two were walking, you walked passed by a happily family that were walking yogether with holding each other’s hand.
You remembered what happen earlier at your house. You started to think about it until you accidentally twisted your ankle because of your high heels.
Luckily, Ren caught you in time. “Gwenchana?” he asked. Instead of replying him a word, you burst into tears.
“Minyoung-ah..” Ren whispered. “Aish! Stupid heels! I hate it! Why your house is so far?! Now, it will be hard for me to walk there!” you hissed. All your anger towards your parents makes you blamed the other things.
Ren stooped down. “What are you doing?” you asked as you look down at him. “Get on, I’ll carry you until we reach our house.” he said.
You just stood there, tears didn’t stop on flowing down to your cheeks. Ren sighed as he grabbed your arm that made you hopped in his back. Now, Ren is giving you a piggy back ride to his way home.
You started to cry even more on his shoulder. Ren softened and let you cry until his shoulder became wet as he continued walking to his way home.
CHAPTER 20
“Omo! What happen to her?” Ren’s mom rushed to the two of you as both you and Ren reach his house.
Ren ignored her mom’s words instead he said, “Omma, help me make her sat on the couch.” “Uh-oh..” Mrs. Choi nodded as sge and Ren carefully sat you on the couch.
As your butt already touch the couch, your tears started to fall again. ‘What happen to her?’ Mrs. Choi mouthed at Ren. He didn’t respond but look down at you, worried.
Mrs. Choi turned to you, “Minyoung-ah.. What happen? Gwenchana?” she asked. You look up at her as another tear slipped down to your cheek.
Instead of giving her a reply, you immediately hugged her and burst into tears along with your sobs. Mrs. Choi softened as she gently patted your back. Ren sat next to you and worriedly watched you.
Minutes later, you grew tired on crying. You broke the hug and flatted your back on the back of the couch. “Tell me, what happen?” Mrs. Choi asked you. “My parents.” you said. Mrs. Choi made a pause on it.
Just then, you continued. “They don’t love. I’m not important to them at all.” another tear slipped down to your cheek.
Mrs. Choi wiped it, “Don’t cry. I can be your mom for a while if you want.” she said and smiled. You give her a small smile, “I’m happy that there’s still a person who willing to be my mom but even if I accept it, my mom is still my mom.” you said.
Silence filled the atmosphere.
“I don’t have any place to stay. Mrs. Choi, can I stay here for a while?” you asked that broke the silence. “Of course, you can. And just call me omma okay.” she replied. You just nodded, “Gomawo.”
Another silence filled the atmosphere.
“Um.. Did you already eat?” Mrs. Choi suddenly changed the topic. You shook your head, “I was about to but my parents ruin it.” you replied.
“What do you want to eat then?” she asked. “I just feel like want to eat dukbokki.” you said.
Mrs. Choi brightened, “Okay then! I’ll be preparing a special dukbokki for you.” she beamed as she stood up and went to kitchen.
A smile formed on your lips because of the hyper aura of Mrs. Choi. “How I wish I have a mom like her..” you whispered.
Ren look down at you. He took your hand that made you turned to him. “Don’t be sad. Just forget about what happen earlier and enjoy yourself here at our house.” he said.
You softened as a sudden smile formed on your face. “Perfect! You looks better when you smiled.” he mutteted as he smiled back at you.
You two just stared to each other for a long period of time. Just then, Mrs. Choi came, “Special dukbokki is ready~” she sang.
You and Ren broke the staring scene as he look away and you look down that made you noticed that Ren was still holding your hand.
You immediately removed it and look to Mrs. Choi direction. “I’m going to eat now!” you beamed as you stood up, forgetting that your ankle was still unconcious. You lost your balance but to your luck, Ren caught you in time. “Be careful. Your ankle still sprained.” he said. “Uh.. I forgot.” you mumbled.
Without asking your permission, Ren carry you bridal style. “What are you doing?” you asked him. “You can’t walk so I’m helping you.” he simply said as he took you to the dining area.
---
“How does it taste?” Mrs. Choi asked you as you started to swallowed the dukbokki.
Mrs. Choi was waiting for your answer and so was Ren. Your expression didn’t change on being serious.
Suddenly, they saw you smiled. “It taste good! The best dukbokki I’ve ever eat!” you complimented. Mrs. Choi sighed in relief, “I thought, you won’t like it.” she whispered.
“Of course not! It’s taste good. No, it’s perfect to be exact!” you said. Mrs. Choi smiled even wide, “That’s also Ren’s favorite food. My special dukbokki. Right son?” she winked at Ren.
“Uh-oh.. Ne.” he showed you a small smile. “Uh.. I’ll continue to eat now.” you said as you continued your food to avoide his eyes and so did Ren.
Mrs. Choi couldn’t help but giggled, “You two looks good together!” she beamed that made both you and Ren choked. Mrs. Choi chuckled, “Oops!”
---
“Ren, take her to your room now.” Mrs. Choi said after all of you finished the food.
Both you and Ren turned to Mrs. Choi and gasped at the same time, “My room?!” “His room?!”
“Oops! I made a mistake there. I mean.. Take her to the guess room.” Mrs. Choi excused. “Uh-oh..” Ren nodded.
Ren was about to carry you but you stopped him. “I can walk.” you said. He just nodded and let you walk but failed coz your ankle still not in a good condition. Ren grabbed your waist and carry you bridal style like what he did earlier. “I knew you can’t walk. Just let me help you.” was all he said as he started walking to the way to the guess room.
Your heartbeat started to beat faster than the normal beat. *Omo! What’s happening to me?*
