Flawless

CHAPTER 2

The meeting finally came to an end and we all stood up. Waiting for the queen to leave first. I don't know maybe out of respect. Whatever. The queen stood up too. She raised her foot forward to leave but winced all of  a sudden. Ren who was calming herself down as the meeting ended again started tensing up.

"what happen ma'am?" "are you OK? "
"does it hurt somewhere? " "does your leg hurt? ""should I call an ambulance?" "call the ambulance " everyone in the room starts to worry. While I went closer to her.The Queen. And sat in front of her on the floor."hey!What are you doing" "Get up! ""it's an emergency !we don't have time for you, we need a doctor". They start rambling while I was lost. Yes lost. The lady was looking at me straight in the eye. And it was making me grow more self-conscious. But then she spoke and everyone went silent.

"let her do what she wishes" and nodded as a signal for me to go ahead and do whatever I came for. I nervously took her foot in my hand removed her shoe and avoided looking up as I know all the eyes are on me and focused. I soon found the spot which was bothering her and applied the right amount of pressure on it and massaged. I earned a satisfactory 'ah~' from the lady and a proud smile broke onto my face.

I released her and gently place her foot on the floor after helping her wear the shoe back on. I stood up still looking down on the floor as if it's the most interesting thing in the world.

Then I heard someone clear their throat and got my attention I looked up. The lady was still looking at me and smiling. Wait! She's smiling. OMG. This has to be my best day ever. First nobody hit me at my house today morning, then the meeting went well, the dog on the street didn't chase me and now this smile.

I smiled back nervously and bowed to her. She is quite old. Old enough to be called a grandma. I gave her space to walk by and I heard her say "good job" she said it so low that I might have not heard her. My heart in the chest was pounding so fast ,I could feel my cheeks going red and I was controlling myself from jumping out of happiness. I have to tell all of this to Jennie as soon as possible.

I got into the elevator as I was leaving now. And soon was greeted by Jennie

she works at the reception down in the hall. She hugged me and we both waited outside for her brother Namjoon to pick us up. While we were waiting I told her about the amazing day and after that she said that everybody was talking about my little stunt . I sheepishly smiled.

Soon Namjoon oppa came with his car and we got in. This little reunion was for my birthday party. So oppa drove us to a outdoor traditional bar.

Where we drank soju till our heart's content. With a little jokes and talking here and there. Oppa stopped us as he said we are too drunk now. And pulled us to his car. As Jennie and I were not ready yet. We both begged him. But the big responsible brother Namjoon was he didn't listen and started taking us home.

Home~Home~Home~It would have been so nice if these both were my real family. Their parents are so nice. They care for both of them and not ditch their younger child at her graduation because there was an interesting episode of drama to be shown on TV at the same time~ "Aster, you are a family to us don't need to cry" oppa comfort me. But wait was I sayi-"Yes Aster, I can hear you." Then Oppa started laughing. I'm embarrassed.

I can feel my cheeks going red and I know I'm looking like a tomato. But what fueled the fire was when Oppa caressed my cheeks with the back of his free hand. OMG my heart is going to blast. I pursed my lips. I don't know why. But I did. He continued driving and retreated his hand.Then he took out a box wrapped into a gift and handed over to me. "This is for me?" "Yes from Jennie and I "

Then he took out another box a small box wrapped into a gift with red bow on it and handed it me. I gave him a questioning and confused look . And in my already drunk state I know I must be looking veeeeryy funny. Oppa  broke the silence by clearing his throat and said "This is from me. But don't tell that drunk ass" by looking back at Jennie who has occupied the whole back seat and is lost in la la land.

I laughed covering my mouth. A little too much. Evidence of the level i was drunk. And turned only to find Oppa staring at me but he quickly changed his gaze towards the road. Like he wasn't just looking at me. It was quite cute when he did that. "Gomawo~" I said shyly. I was never ever. Ever. Was given a gift from a guy. Never. Even though he is Jennie's brother and I call him oppa too and we've always been together. But this is the first he gave me a gift. Separately.

I don't know why but I'm feeling like something is going to happen.

And then something happened. I threw up . Thankfully not in the car coincidentally we were in front of my house and I got out of the car and did the deed in the road. Fortunately no one was around at the time. But oppa got out and asked if I was OK. I was drowning in embarrassment. He saw me like this.

Throwing up on the street. I just nodded but he wasn't satisfied with it and brought me a bottle of water. I splashed the water on my face and was relieved and feeling better. Thanks to oppa.
