Torn Between: (discontinued! Read Under Wraps for new story)

Chapter 7: Rule Breaker

*DongWoon's POV*

It was wonderous and mysterious how I could listen to Sophie rant on about every subject user the sun and still be as engrossed as I was. She could probably speak on behalf of the entire planet. She found the smallest things interesting and I loved listening to her talk about the stuff she loved. We spent our entire first media lesson discussing my group, Beast and how she became affixiated with Korean music. It turns out I have some sort if contact with all favourite bands such as U-Kiss, Super Junior and BigBang.

She told me how she would spend hours of her day watching videos of her favourite K-Pop groups on YouTube via her Xbox 360.

She was spellbinding.

"I used to watch the music videos and try to learn the dances," she chortled.

"Did you ever learn any of our dances?" I hoped to myself that she would say yes.

She snorted a laugh, and it was adorable. "Of course! I know all your dances!"

"I beamed. "What's your best?" I stopped and thought. That didn't sound right.

"Do you mean favourite?" She giggled.

"I dipped my head to look at my hands. "Yes, I apologise, my English isn't fantastic. I do try though." I could feel my cheeks were beginning to flush and turn scarlet.

She cooed, "aww." She placed her hand on mine and a shock wave of delectable heat flooded my arm and generated a family of goosebumps to rise up on my skin. "Don't worry about it," she encouraged sweetly in Korean, in her cute English accent. Her Korean was so cute! It was pretty cool that she could speak a bit of Korean, so if I made a mistake in English I could speak in my own language and she could translate it and understand me.

That got me thinking, she needed to learn Korean fluently and I wanted to be able speak English as well as her. I tapped her arm and she looked up from her work to gaze into my eyes. I forgot for a moment what I was going to say because I got lost in her eyes. They were big and beautiful, a bright shade of sky blue that glistened in the light shining from the window. One side of her mouth twitched, trying to hold back a smile. "I was wondering if, well, we could teach each other our own language. You need to learn Korean and I want to learn English."

Sophie gave me a bewitching grin, her lips pulling back over her perfectly straight teeth. "Oppa, that's a wonderful idea!"

My heart fluttered within its bone cage. In Korea a girl calls older men 'oppa' and I loved it! "Good," I scrunched up my nose and smiled. "Okay, so are you gonna come back to mine then?"

Sophie froze and turned her head to face me slowly. "Excuse me?" Her tone was full of shock.

"You can come to my house after last period if you like," I repeated. "And maybe... If you're lucky, I'll make you some if my amazing roast chicken salad." I wriggled my eyebrows which caused Sophie's jaw to drop.

"I can't believe this," she muttered under her her breath staring at her hands. And then to my surprise she started mumbling something in Spanish but it was so quiet I couldn't hear what she was saying. She looked at me and spoke in English again, "okay, but if I'm throwing my guts up tomorrow," she paused and then continued speaking, this time in Korean. "I will find you, and I will kill you." She narrowed her eyes and pressed her lips together, holding in a giggle. She pointed two fingers at her eyes and then poked my arm, a serious expression on her face. She was just too good to be true.

She had everything I was looking for. She had the long straight hair I loved and she looked cute with her hair tied up. She was petite, only about 5 foot 2 which is below average for an English woman of her age, but I love shorter girls, so when I hug them they feel protected. Her eyes were impossibly blue, like the midday sky. But best of all was her cuteness, I don't like girls that use aegyo, and she didn't need it to be adorable, just the way her cheeks turned red when I smiled at her.
