Learning Again

Two

I groaned as I heard my phone ringing, waking me from sleep, then I grabbed it and swiped my thumb across the screen.

"Hello?"

"Ah, Maddie? Did I wake you?" Min Gi's voice called and I smiled as I shook my head, rolling onto my back.

"No, Min Gi, it's okay. What's up?" I asked and reached up, rubbing my eye.

"I was wondering if you wanted to do something today! I have the day off from work and there's this arcade nearby I think you'd like!" He said and I grinned.

"Yeah, Min Gi, that sounds nice! I'll meet you there in thirty minutes?" I asked and he chuckled.

"Okay! I will see you there!" He said and I hung up, throwing off my covers.

I walked up to the front of the arcade then grinned as I saw Min Gi waiting for me. Being such a tall guy, he was easy to spot.

"Hi, Min Gi!" I called and he turned to me then smiled.

"Good morning, Maddie!" He grinned and looked at the arcade.

"Ready?!" He asked me and I nodded, going in with him. When we got inside, we both got game cards then ran towards the air hockey game. I laughed as I beat him the first round then he smirked, beating me the second round and the third. After, we did a shooting game then we found a dancing game.

"We should play!" I begged as I grabbed his arm and he grinned.

"You might lose." He said, but I grinned and he sighed, going to it. As we swiped our cards, we both got a new game going then I grinned as I started dancing. As I looked at Min Gi, I saw he was easily keeping up, but I smirked when I saw him stumble when it began to get complicated. Finally, I beat him and he looked surprised as I even beat the high score.

"Ha!" I cheered and looked at him.

"I win!" I said and he grinned, shaking his head.

I slurped my drink then set the empty cup down, smiling as Min Gi finished his sandwich.

"So, we've done the entire arcade, had lunch, now what do you want to do?" I asked and he hummed, looking around.

"I want to show you something!" He said and I nodded, waiting for him to finish eating. When he was done, he insisted he pay again then we left and he grabbed my hand, taking me to a nearby lake.

"Min Gi?" I laughed, but softly gasped as he pulled me to a gazebo on the shore of the lake and hit a switch, the lights turning on as the sun began to set behind the sky scrapers.

"It's one of my favorite spots to come to clear my mind." He said and I smiled as I sat on the bench. As I sat, I saw names etched into the wood and realized one was Min Gi's.

"Min Gi, this is your name!" I said and looked at him, my fingers touching the characters of his name.

"Those are the names of my friends, this is where we found out." He said and came over, sitting next to me.

"Found out what?" I asked and he gave me a soft smile.

"We made it." He said then shook his head, looking at the gazebo.

"This has been here for-" He stopped as my phone rang then I looked at it and saw it was my mom.

"I'm so sorry, it's my mom." I said and Min Gi nodded. As I answered in English, my mom let out a breath.

"'Hi, Maddie! How is Seoul?!"' She asked and I grinned, looking at Min Gi.

"'Good! I made a friend and he's been showing me around!"' I told her then Min Gi stood and went to the railing, holding it and looking out at the lake.

"'That's good. Just be careful, I don't want you getting hurt."' Mom said and I nodded, quickly wrapping up the phone call. Right as I did, Min Gi's phone rang and he looked at it then sighed.

"Woo Young?" He answered and I smiled as I waited, his eyes going to me then looking around the park frantically. As he landed on a group of guys heading for us, Min Gi looked down at me.

"No, she's leaving now." He said and hung up, coming to me and grabbing my hand.

"Min Gi, what's wrong?" I asked as he rushed me away from the guys, one running over.

"My friends are coming, but I don't want them to embarrass me. I wanted to wait to introduce you to them-"

"MINGI!" I heard and backed away right as the man jumped on Min Gi. He groaned as the other six came over then one held his hand out to me.

"Hello, I'm Kim Hong Joong." He introduced himself and I smiled, shaking his hand.

"Maddie!" I grinned and looked at Min Gi, who looked mortified.

"Ah, Min Gi, I will see you later! I had a lot of fun today, thank you for this!" I said and he nodded, wincing as the guy on him kissed his cheek.

"Yeo Sang, stop it!" Min Gi groaned, but I giggled and turned, holding my bag strap as I walked away from the group.

Min Gi's POV
I watched Maddie leave, her pretty sun dress with flowers on it flowing in the light wind, then San smirked.

"You like her-"

"I met her yesterday!" I said and San raised his brow in silent question.

"You still like her!" Woo Young said and I rolled my eyes, going back to the gazebo with them.

"How did you guys find me?" I asked and Jong Ho grinned wide.

"You always come here after going to an arcade! You said you were going to one today, so it was only a matter of guessing when you'd come here!" He said and I shook my head, looking at my phone as it vibrated to see Maddie had texted me.

Maddie: I had a lot of fun today. Hopefully we can do this again! ;)

I smiled and quickly replied to her text, standing to keep my phone out of reach of my friends.
