Best Friend's Obsession

1. The Flashback

The spring is at its very best, with bright sunshine, blue sky and petally road full of Cherry Blossom. I love it like nothing else in the World. "Kim Na Na!!! Wait for me." Lee Seo Jun, my beat friend since grade school shouted as he came running towards me. I waved my hand without looking back at him. Well, we already missed the bus and my anger knew no bounds.
He put his arms around me and started to play with my cheeks. Well, I hate it. "Cheeky, fluffy cheeks! " he said as he pinched my cheeks and pat my head.
"Stop it already Seo Jun. It won't work on me." I said and took his hands off my shoulders. I was super irritated because its been thrice in a week already and the way back home is too long even with the shortcut we take by the woods.
"Don't be angry Na Na. I will treat you to noodles once we reach our favourite Restaurant." He said and put his hands on my shoulder again and began playing with my hair.
"You should. I am hungry and I wanna kill you already." I said and roll my eyes. He laughed it off and we walked for what seems like ages and finally reached The Secret Garden.( our favourite restaurant)
"Two bowls of pork noodles please." He said and wink at me, I hated it. I rolled my eyes and was about to leave when he took grab my hands and asked me to pay. I bigger my eyes and looked at him. He smiled, shut my eyes with his hands and said, "I was just kidding, you idiot."
We waited for our noodles to arrive and ate our full and left. "Bye! " I said and started walking towards my home which is just next to his when he called out my name.
"What?" I asked.
"Just wanted to see your annoyed face." He said and left.

"Mom! I'm home!" I said, she greeted me with rice pudding. She knows how much I love it. I was about to eat it when she asked, "Where is Seo Jun? He wanted to have it too."
"He'll come in the evening. Don't worry about him. We missed the last bus because of him. Ah! I hate him so much." I said when Mom hit my head with the spoon.
"Stop cursing him already! He is such a sweet boy." She said and took the pudding and kept it in the fridge and said, "Have it with him when he'll come in the evening!"
"Be his Mom already!" I whispered, annoyed at Seo Jun and Mom.

I changed, took a bath and wore my night white gown when the door opened all of a sudden. "Yahhh!!!!" I shouted at Seo Jun, who walked in with pudding, popcorn and his laptop as if nothing happened. "You should knock before you walk into a girls' room." I said. He looked at me from head to toe and said, " You? Not at all."
"Whatever." I said and started to blow dry my hair.
"Lets watch this movie. It seems really interesting to me." He said and pat in the bed next to him signaling me to come watch it with him.
"I'll dry my hair first." I said and started doing the same, when he grabbed the dryer and said, " You look good in wet hair. Come already, lets watch!" and turn off the dryer, took my hand and started with the movie. We watched and it was good.I love it.
After the movie end, he said, "Told you that this is going to be fun." Our choices always click!
"Yeah. I loved it!" I said with excitement as I bigger my eyes, he as usual, put his hands and cover my eyes shut and said, " They'll come out. Close your eyes already." and gave out a laugh.
"Whatever." I said and took his hands off my eyes.
He stared at me and said with his soft voice, " Do you know?"
I stared back and said, "what?"
He came a bit closer and said, "You are ugly." And ran out of my room.
"Whatever." I thought and went downstairs.

Seo Jun was already having dinner with Mom and I join later and sat and see them talk and laugh, my mom hasn't laugh a lot since Dad passed away when I was 5. And though its already been 12 years, she still misses him. So, having Seo Jun is a good idea.
The next morning, I am still waiting for Seo Jun and he's late. No wonder he's third to the last in our class. "I'm sorry!" he said catching breaths. "If we'll be late today, I-----"
He took my hand and we started running and a second before the bus started, we reached. It was packed but we managed anyway. "Come here." He said and grabbed my arms and took me to the corner and build a wall with his arms.
"Its packed and I cannot breathe." I said and started to fan myself from my hankerchief.
"Why? Being shielded by an awesomely handsome young man makes you breathless?" he said with a wink and smiled.
"Whatever." I said and roll my eyes.
He took his hands and like always, shut my eyes with his hands when the bus made a sudden bump and our lips met. My best Friend stole my first kiss.
I pull away and hit his head. "I told you not to cover my eyes." I said and hit him again and again.
"Ah ah ah.. It hurts. Just stop it already." He said and looked at me.
"Stop staring already! " I said and slap his shoulder again and again when he grab my hands and the bus made another bump and he fell over me into a hug.
"Lets just stay like this for forever, honey." He whispered to my ears and chuckled.
"Yah!!!" I said and hit his head again.
He let go of me and started laughing. "Today is such a badluck." He said and stared at me.
