LOVE LANGUAGE: EN- BOOK 1: SUNGHOON

28: Trust/Competition

Sunghoon POV

"I trust you" Are words I'd never expect to here from my crush's dad. Sadly I was mistaking "Thank you so much sir-" he cuts me off. "You didn't let me finish" he says before looking at Angel. "I trust you. Sunghoon, don't hurt my baby"

I hide my disappointment as he looks at me. "Dad come oooon" Angel groans. "But seriously you seem reliable and talented. Your visual isn't bad either" Angel stands up and turns to her dad. "Dad, when did you learn to speak Korean?!" She asks him.

"You're Korean is very good, Dad" I compliment him. "Thank you, Son. All those Korean lessons happening at my house for so long that I paid for? How could I not pick up something?" She nods in agreement as his phone goes off.

"I have got to go now but I will be there tomorrow to see both of you perform. Good luck!" He calls as he closes the door and Angel pouts. "What's wrong?" I ask. "The noodles are probably cold now" she sighs and I laugh.

The Next Day

I woke up very early like I always do when I'm nervous which is on every competition day. "Sunghoon-ah!" My mom comes to get me up. "I'm already up, mom!" She comes in my room. "Nervous?" I shake my head vigorously making her laugh.  "You always do great whether you win or lose, you know that right?"

I nod as she kisses my forehead. "Mom, I met Angel's dad yesterday" she looks at me with a surprised expression. "How did it go?" She asks. "Well even though he caught us by surprise. He thinks I'm talented and reliable" I smile proudly. "Is he going to be at the competition today?"

I nod "You still haven't told her about Hyunjoo?" I nod again and she rubs my back comfortingly. "I'll support you through everything okay?" I nod and she allows me to get dressed.

In Korea

"How are things in the loveless department?" Juri says making Hyunjoo and Chaeyoung glare at her. "Great!" Hyunjoo smiles evilly. "Why do I have the feeling you did something?" Juri ask skeptically. "I did. I didn't let my dad's people sign off on her apartment" she says proudly.

"So she's not moving here?" Chaeyoung asks and Hyunjoo nods and Juri shakes her head. "You're gonna regret listening to Chaeyoung later" Juri sips her coffee. "I need new friends but this coffee is nice and warm" Juri says as the other 2 roll their eyes at her.

"I do know why you think you're better than everyone else, Juri. I don't have a hard time finding girls! My hidden sexuality is the problem not me" Chaeyoung whispers the last part as Juri stands up. "You guys need help. Until you figure this out, I'll be with other friends" Hyunjoo scoffs as Juri leaves.

"She'll be crawling back to us soon" she says, while Chaeyoung whimpers. "Maybe she's right. Maybe I should be true to myself" "This isn't about you! It's about me!" Hyunjoo says loudly.

"All I have to do is wait for him to come back to Korea and come back to me" Hyunjoo sips her coffee and it burns her mouth. "Shit! That's hot!" She cries. "Really? mine is cold" Chaeyoung says.

Haime POV

"I will block you, if you keep spam texting me" I complain to Keeho. "Why do you always stop replying randomly?" I shrug. "I was busy" "you're busy everyday, that's very Bizzie of you " I look at him. "What is Bizzie?" He smiles at me.

"Bizzie is a busy body. In English it rhymes very well" he explains. "You speak English?" He nods "English is actually my first language" "Aren't you Korean?" He nods. "I'm Korean-Canadian" my eyes widen. "Your not from here?" "My dad moved back here for business" he explains.

"Wow! Can you help me in English class?"  I ask and he nods. "Only if you admit I am of value to you" I roll my eyes. "I'll fail then" "Is it that hard to say 'Keeho, you are of value to me' is it that hard" he asks and I start coughing. "My throat is messed up" I lie "Look noona, I know I'm growing on you" I shake my head.

"You're growing delusional though" I laugh out loud but he doesn't join in like he usually does. "Come on, Kid" he doesn't respond "Look. You don't have to call me noona. I hate that title anyway" he looks at me.

"Why?" "I hate feeling old. That's why I don't let my friends call me noona, even though I'm older"

I explain and he gasps. "Huh?" "You said- you said- you called me your friend" he stutters. "No I didn't, clean your ears!" He frowns but I pretend I didn't see it. "Come on, let's go to class" I say before walking away.

Angel POV

I'm nervous because I know my mom will be there at the comp., I won't be able to avoid her and I have to tell her I'm retiring. My cousin, April is driving me to the rink and my dad is supposed to meet us there. "So your little boyfriend is supposed to there too?"

"He's not my boyfriend yet. He's my crush for now" I explain. "Whatever, when can I meet him" I sigh. "You'll have to wait, he just met my dad yesterday" I say. "Does Uncle like him?" I nod. "Then it shouldn't be anything for me to meet him if it went well" I roll my eyes. "Well you'll meet him when I do" I say.

~~~~~

It is so loud and so cold in here. Another reason, I wanna retire, I have to wear very thin clothes on below 0 degrees air. I immediately go to my dressing area to get ready.

~~~~~

I have not seen my mom or my dad since I got here. In fact I haven't seen anyone except my hair and makeup stylist. Tony walks in. "This is your last performance, you got this girl! Make it count"

"Thank you, Tony for everything"  I smile at him. "Thank me by having fun and wowing the audience with your talent" I nod as they announce the next skater.
