Chapter 4. Confessions.
Thursday, October 21, 2010 >>12:06 AM
The next morning, I woke up feeling very fresh. My phone rang wildly. I checked my phone for messages or missed calls. [13 missed calls and 10 new messages from Wooyoung] I scream and I called him back after that.
"Wooyoung! Biande, I fell into a deep sleep." I apologized as soon as he answered his phone.
"It's okay just wash up and I'll wait for you outside of your house," He said.
[Wooyoung's POV]
Ah, she didn't pick up her phone neither did she reply my messages. Is she okay? Oh my phone rang.
"Wooyoung! Biande, I fell into a deep sleep." Eun Mi apologized right after I answered her call.
At least, she woke up and called me back.
"It's okay just wash up and I'll wait for you outside of you house," I answered and hung up afterwards.
I quickly drive to her place with a bouquet of poppies. I bet she will love this.
[end of POV]
I quickly get dress for school. I don't want to be late for the second day of school. I just remembered. It's my birthday today. I'm finally 16. Like really , finally. But Wooyoung doesn't know it's my birthday today. Oh well, better be off without thinking about it. I went out of the house after grabbing my bag and jacket. I saw Wooyoung leaning against his car with a bouquet of yellow poppies in his hand.
"Wooyoung? Who are you giving that to? Your noona?" I asked, curious.
Then he suddenly approached me, and he kneel to the ground, smiling.
"Happy sweet 16, Eun Mi." he said.
He knew, he knew it was my birthday, but how? I don't even remember mentioning my birth date to him. I took the bouquet from him. He stood up and give me a kiss on my cheek. I blushed , suddenly. I was too shy to do anything else, but to say Gomawo and walk to his car. As usual, he open the door for me.
-In school-
I walk to the foyer with Wooyoung who flung his jacket to the back. He look super cute and charismatic that way. Every girl who is at the foyer stared at us. Then, Wooyoung grabbed me by my waist, pulling me closer to him. All the girls were shocked and go "Oh" and give us their sad face. I think Wooyoung is trying to make them jealous.
"Aish, those girls will never stop bugging me if I hadn't come to school with you." He said, frustrated.
"Maybe you're too popular for your chubby cheeks?" I asked, giggling.
"YAH! EUN MI-SSI!" Yun Hee screamed as soon as she saw me.
Behind her was 2PM, Wooyoung's group. All of them walked to us coolly. Wooyoung's friends keep staring at us, and then, an awkward silence was born. Yun Hee, who is known for her talkative attitude broke the silence.
"Eun Mi-ssi, Happy 16th Birthday !" She said handing out a beautifully wrapped gift to me.
"Gomawo," I said as I take the gift and hugged her tightly.
"Eun Mi, Saengil Chukha Hamnida!" Wooyoung's friends chorused.
All of them were too sweet for me. They even prepared presents on my birthday. Then, 3 sports car arrived at the entrance. All of us turned and saw, Kikwang, Yoseob and Dong Woon coming out from the sports car.
I can see Wooyoung's expression changed. The three musketeers walk towards us. I was nervous that Wooyoung would go to them and give them a punch, but instead, he stay put with me.
[Kikwang's POV]
Ah, Finally we reach school on time. Why is everybody staring at us? Oh look, it's Eun Mi. With her gang. Who's that guy? He looks unfriendly towards me. Well, I prepared present for Eun Mi's birthday. But, how am I suppose to give her when that guy keeps staring at me? Jjin-jja, that guy is freaking me.
[end of POV]
"Eun Mi-ssi. Saengil Chukha Hamnida," Kikwang said as he handed me a teddy wrapped gift.
"Gomawo, Kikwang-ssi" I replied with a bow.
Wooyoung and his friends quickly walk away then. I said goodbye to Kikwang and his friends and dragged Yun Hee and followed Wooyoung. Wooyoung seemed angry with them, he doesn't like them. Then we arrived at the canteen.There, I approached Wooyoung and asked,
"Why you hate them?"
He didn't answer my question, instead he grabbed me and pulled me away from the others. And he said,
"Yah, Eun Mi-ssi. Isn't it obvious? I like you. From the first day I met you. I really like you. I cannot stop thinking about you," He told me in a serious tone.
I cannot think of anything to say, so, I just stared at him. He doesn't even know I do like him too. His personality , really captures me. Neither can I stop thinking about him. Then, pulled him close to me and give him a kiss. A soft kiss. Wooyoung grabbed the back of my head , in approval of the kiss. Everyone around us, stared at us and the I heard the girls sobbing. I push Wooyoung back and said,
"I like you too, Jang Wooyoung, I really do."
When I turned around, I saw Kikwang staring at me. His jaw dropped. And he turned away and begin walking far away from the canteen.
[Kikwang's POV]
I finally gave her the present. But I didn't confess my love for her. I bet she is at the canteen. Look, she is talking to that guy again. What is going on between them? That guy seems to be pulling her away from their friends. He is saying something. No wait, what is Eun Mi doing, she is pulling him closer, and they are.. Kissing. She saw me. She doesn't know my feelings. I need to get far away from here.
[End Of POV]
-in class-
There he is. There is Kikwang. As soon as he saw me, he look away. What did I do? I approached him slowly and asked,
"Kikwang-ssi, are you okay?"
He looked at me, confused. He stood up, grabbed me shoulders and said,
"Meet me after class. I need to tell you something. Or are you busy with that guy."
"I'll meet you after class," I said as I get away from him and sat down in front of him.
-after class-
Kikwang approached my table after everyone left the classroom. He stared at me, smiling.
"Yah, why are you smiling at me like that?" I blushed. His eye smile is too cute to resist.
"Eun Mi-ssi, I need to say something. Can you stand please?" He begged.
I stood up and faced him. He grabbed my waist and he pulled me closer to him. I felt uncomfortable at first. He grabbed the back of my head like Wooyoung did, and kissed my forehead. I remember my mum once told me, A kiss on the forehead means loyalty and faithful. I stared at Kikwang for a moment before he said,
"I really like you, Eun Mi."
I can't have two guys liking me. Then I heard someone clear his throat. I turned around and look at the door, it was Wooyoung waiting for me. I grabbed my books and my jacket. Then I turn to Kikwang again,
"I like you too, a bit. I'm sorry."
With that I quickly walk away pulling Wooyoung by his collar.
-after school-
"What was all that?" Wooyoung asked me angrily in the car.
"He kissed me, not the other way around, Wooyoung please, don't do anything stupid."I warned him.
He ignore me and keep on driving. He didn't send me home, instead he brought me to a park. He got out of the car and open the door for me. I got out of the car and walk away from him.Wooyoung ran after me and grabbed my arm.
"Think about your father for once. Have you ever thought of visiting him?" He asked worried.
I suddenly remembered about my dad. I took out my phone and call dad's manager.
"Anneyonghaseyo, is Appa fine?" I asked worried.
"Eun Mi. You called. Appa is in coma, still. He didn't wake up at all," Dad's Manager said.
With that , I gave Wooyoung a worried expression.
