Man In Love (남자가 살랑할 때): A Kim Myungsoo Fanfic

Chapter 11

"Yah, yah, yah! Oppa!" Soo Jung screamed. "That's my guitar you're running around with!"

Myungsoo could not help but laugh till his sides hurt. He had to stop for a while but he was sure that Soo Jung would find him sooner or later anyway. His predictions were proved right, when he felt Soo Jung's walking stick hit the bottom of his calf, hard.

"Ah, mian oppa. But give me my guitar back!" Soo Jung shrieked and snatched the guitar away from Myungsoo. This caused him to burst into a fit of laughter again. He was trying to disturb Soo Jung by pretending to run back home with the precious guitar. Of course he would not do that, ain't nobody got time to practice guitar overnight.

Giving in to fatigue, Myungsoo and Soo Jung sat down on stone steps which were a distance away to them. There was a moment of silence before Myungsoo took out his handphone and put the camera to 'selfie' function.

"Angel-dongsaeng yah, I'm holding a camera in front of us now. Just look straight," Myungsoo said as he positioned the camera cautiously in front of them. He did not know why he wanted to take a photo suddenly, the idea just washed over him. Soo Jung was looking at the camera and already positioned herself, a smiling pose.

"Hana, dul, set!" Myungsoo said. At the third count, he unexpectedly kissed Soo Jung's cheek and took the picture at the same time. He slowly moved back and Soo Jung turned to face him. They were in an awkwardly close position and Soo Jung must have felt his breath on her face because she immediately retreated and got into a standing position.

"O.. Oppa," Soo Jung stammered.

"Yah Soo Jung, waeyo? It was just friendly," Myungsoo emphasised on the word. "And also, it was just to thank you for being my one and only chingu and for being my listening ear." Myungsoo was relieved that he could come up with such witty replies and he was also thankful that Soo Jung could not see his cheeks burning red.

"Ooh, o..okay," Soo Jung sat back beside Myungsoo. "Oppa, how do you look like?"

Myungsoo did not know how to answer that question. He was definitely not going to brag about his looks to her but how do you describe your own features? He would very much prefer to describe Soo Jung's own facial features to her.

"I... I'm ugly?" Myungsoo made it sound more like a question.

"Define ugly. And why do you have such low self-esteem? I'm sure it's only those attention-seeking people who call themselves ugly for people to deny their sentences," Soo Jung said. Wow, she did make a lot of sense. She carried on, "Oppa, do you feel ugly because you have these scars on your hands?" Soo Jung reached for Myungsoo's arms and ran her fingers over the scars.

"Y..yes," Myungsoo replied. It was the truth anyway.

"Oppa, don't feel burdened by your scars. You're beautiful and good-looking in your own way, outer beauty doesn't matter but I know that you have a great personality. That's why you're my chingu!" Soo Jung encouraged Myungsoo. She was really good at speaking.

"Aish... Gumawo, Soo Jung. You're very random."

"Yah, I'm still curious to know what you look like," her tone in her voice suddenly changed from gentle, now it sounded rather loud.

"Arasso arasso. Next time when they invent robotic eyes, I'll remember to buy them for you," Myungsoo promised. "If I have the money ㅋㅋㅋ."

Out of the blue, Soo Jung froze. Myungsoo asked her what happened but all she did was put a finger to her mouth. Only after 5 seconds, Myungsoo heard footsteps. Someone was coming? How did they get to know about this place? Must have explored a lot.

The footsteps continued and Myungsoo and Soo Jung were frozen in place like statues on the stone steps. The footsteps were getting closer and closer until finally...

"Hyoan hyung? How did you get to know about this place?" Myungsoo was puzzled. Seeing Hyoan hyung right in front of him made him open his mouth in bewilderment. What was he doing here?

"Aish Myungsoo. Now is already 6. I spent half an hour around the centre looking for you. I thought you got kidnapped or something." Hyoan hyung said with concern. "Oh, so you have been coming to the Centre everyday to spend time with this pretty lady?" Hyoan raised an eyebrow.

"Hyung let's just go back... Annyeong! See you tomorrow," Myungsoo got up and looked back at Soo Jung who gave him something like a forced smile.

When Myungsoo reached the car with Hyoan, all Hyoan did was to chuckle at Myungsoo. "You're not afraid that she sees your scars? She doesn't judge eh? Looks like you found a good friend." Myungsoo was confused at first, of course Soo Jung would not judge him. Why would she, anyway?

The penny finally dropped. Hyoan did not know that Soo Jung was actually blind. Should he tell hyung? Myungsoo decided not to as he gave the matter a rest. Just go back home and sleep before seeing Soo Jung again the next day.
