Chapter 21 {Edited}
···
Jessica Choi's POV
"Yeah. I remember when I got cut off by Mr. Lee." I laughed as I talk to Kris while we are heading to the gate to wait for Anne.
"Never thought that- fudge!" I saw a basketball ball in the air and its heading to me! I closed my eyes.
A split second passed, I was going to hit by a ball. Seconds passed and I feel nothing.
I opened my eyes slowly and saw that he caught the ball the was about to hit me.
I looked at his eyes and examine his lips but I was back to reality where I stood up straigh and tried to act cool even if I know I wont be that cool.
"Thank you." I said while I hold my arms.
"Thank you? I should be the one to thank you for giving me happiness, for brightening up my day." He half smiled as he looked at me with admiration.
What he said maid my heart flutter. How can be a muscular guy be that sweet, a sweet-talker.
"Oh, Kris, dont be so sweet. We might get bitten by ants in no time." I giggled as blood rushed to my cheeks that made it so red and avoided eye contact but I couldn't take my eyes off him.

"Im so excited for your birthday!" Anne said as we are heading home, with Kris. I looked at Kris and he just smiled.
"What if I would be the one who'll decide?" Anne said.
"It's my birthday, not yours." I chuckled as I look at her. "So what are your plans?! Clear things out!" She said. Or I said shouted?
"Leave it to me." I simply answered.
"Why are you acting rude towards your sister?" Kris whispered as he silently laughed. When he whispered, my body just felt shivers that made my body feel so cold and I feel sweats on my palm. Shit
"I think my sister got amnesia or maybe she is blind?" I turned back and I looked at her. "Forgot your house?" she raised an eyebrow while smiling.
I looked at our house and I pouted.
Kris laughed and I looked at him chuckling. "That's the second time."
I laughed harder. "Yeah."
"Okay. Bye. See you tomorrow." He said.
"Okay. Bye." I said and he ruffled my hair and half-smiled. I turned back to Anne, started to walk.
"Your cheeks are burning up already." She teased while laughing. "They're not." I said and laughed too then I opened the door
"Afternoon dad, mom." We said in unison as we sat on the sofa.
"How's school?" Dad asked us.
"Me. It's good." I shrugged. "And mine... as usual." Anne answered. "Wait, where are you going dad?" Anne asked as I look at dad wearing formal clothes."Business meeting." He said and ruffled both of our hairs and went outside while waving.
"Bye." Me and Anne said and he smiled while he closed the door.
"Let's turn on the television." I said and turned it on and the news were aired on-screen.
"Or maybe that is a bad idea so let's just go upstairs." I said turning the television off and went upstairs with Anne following me.
After closing the door on my room, I layed on the bed amd started to think deeply on what happened on this day.
I cant still get over Mieun. On what she did to me. Why does she said so? Right? But, nevermind.
Just think off the happy things today. The first thing that came into my mind was him again. Is he an alien so he can invade my mind?
To be honest, I still feel awkward. I mean when Im with him. I don't understand myself. Like, I know that he likes me and I like him but whenever we are together, I just cant seen to talk properly and do things what I usually do when Im with Rian or Kal Min, Baek and Chan?
Over and over I fall for him. This is just like a maze, once you are in, you can never get out.
I sat up and went to my dresser. As I search for something that might take off my boredom, I found a picture. A picture of me when I was a kid and a boy standing next to me as we are holding stuff toys. I laughed at the thought that Im so obsessed with stuff toys until now.
But I wonder, who is that kid. I cant remember his name but all I know is that he is our neighbor and my childhood friend, bestfriend to be exact.
