End Game: My Brother, My Friend.... My Lover?

JUNGHWAN

Sunday arrived sooner than expected.  Dobby and I are now grocery shopping for some additional things we might need later. We bought fruits, chips, cheese, wine and cookies. I also bought some refill for my coffee machine and got some egg tart and strawberry short cake for desserts. Sowon loves strawberry and egg tarts are His favorite. I forgot to ask Rora for her preference though. Anyways, I think she loves to eat anything so I'll pick whatever I like and I'm sure that brat will like it.

We arrived home and Dobby called the restaurant to order take outs. I unpacked our groceries and placed the cakes inside the refrigerator and unload the extra plates and containers for the food from the storage room. I was in the middle of washing the utensils when my phone rang.

Dobby saw the caller's name when my phone lighted up in front of him on the kitchen counter.

"It's Sowon's manager. I'll take this call quickly." Picked the call and walk over to my room to get my hoodie. Sowon already called me earlier informing me that her driver couldn't make it and that she's not confident enough to drive yet alone. Her manager happened to have scheduled a trip with her family since it was agreed that she might spend the night here after our mini party.

We kind of talked a little about our evil plan for tonight. Ever since she caught me having relationship issues, correction, rather confession issues with Dobby after we broke up. It was a blessing we really became friends before the dating arrangement, that we got to bond deeper into a very open friendship. We both felt so comfortable with each other that we mentally clicked and agreed to share each other's worries.

Sowon was or is a great girl, perfect for an ideal girlfriend...... but sadly my heart already belongs to someone else a long time ago. And my traitorous body only reacts on that rabbit.

After dropping the call, I went back to inform Dobby that I'll be fetching Sowon from her house since her driver wasn't available. I got a glimpse of him scrunching his nose in distaste hearing my reasons, but he immediately changed his vibe as if everything is fine. Cute. How will he react later if Sowon starts her drama plan for tonight? She's trying to help me test the waters with Dobby, what he feels about me and if I stand a chance to be with him? If he already move on with all his exes, I just hope it will work out fine.

         "Will you be alright on your own? We'll pick up Rora too from her dorm. Do you need anything else we might forgot to buy earlier? Oh right, I guess we need more ice for the drinks. My ice maker might not be enough."

        "Just go already so you can come back faster. You talk too much like a chick." He's kicking me out the door.

        "Are you sure?" I asked him again causing a kick on my butt.

       " Eopsoo, kah!" Pushing me now out of the door.

       "Ouch! Why you're so violent hyung, make sure you won't miss me too much ok? I'll be back before you know it." I teased him for the last time and threw a wink. I don't know if it's just my imagination but I definitely saw a peek of his blushing face before the door totally closed.

   'Cute!' I looked like a fool smiling to myself as I went down to my car and drive off to Sowon's place. I chuckled as I recalled past instances when I did saw that blush sometime when I flirtatiously teased him.

       I saw Sowon down the entrance of her building. I called her a little while ago informing I'm a few blocks away. It's a little cold in the weather and she's shivering a little.

      "Why are you waiting down here outside? It's freezing as hell and you're like an abandoned kitten." I couldn't help myself from scolding her of how she looked at the moment.

       She immediately hopped on the front seat and rubbed her palms to warm her hands. I adjusted the heater of my car and held both her hands to help her warmed up.

      "Aigoo you're such a baby. I'll scold manager noona for not taking care of you today." I jokingly rant.

      "Oppa! Stop nagging will you. I was just so excited for our plans tonight that I couldn't sit still and come down. Don't drag eonnie here cause it's all my fault. And besides you're nearer when I came down so I didn't wait long."

         "Even so, there's called a lobby inside where it's warm and safe for you to wait. Not outside, you're such a choding. Aigoo!"

        "Deh, appa!" The bratt had the nerve to call me appa for nagging.

       "You'll get old faster if you nag too much oppa. You'll look 10x more mature than Dobby oppa. Hahahahaha." She poked my arm as she laughed hard on her own teasing.

       "Well, he should be more worried if I looked older, cause I'll get more handsome and hot, he's gonna have more rivals then." I arrogantly bit back her teasing.

       She made a gagged sound pretending to be disgusted with what I said.

      "Uuhgh, eeew, it's getting more windy inside this car." She pretended to shiver more supporting her antics.

      "Yah! Oppa!" I flicked her forehead as a revenge.

       "As if you haven't had a crush on me before, duh!" I rolled my eyes to counter her teasing.

        "Oppa! That's mean! Well, I'm now regretting it. If I have known you're this narcissistic..... what if I won't help you tonight with Dobby Oppa? Huh! What now, hah?" Ok, I shut up immediately, cause I do need her help tonight and she knew only she can help me with it.

           "Hahahaahahaha, now you're behave, hahahaha! Atleast now I know you're kryptonite and you can't bully me anymore. Hah!" I just smiled with what she said cause it's true, Dobby is my weakness.

           "So, that's our skit later ok? You riding along with my drama of regretting breaking up with you and asking you about having a chance during spin the bottle game. Clear?" This bratt really does know some tricks. Girls will always be master of mousetraps I tell you.

      "Arasso! Loud and clear seonsaengnim!" I did a salute sign in agreeing to her plans.
         
       "Yah, Oppa, no laughing arrasso? Or we'll be busted. You need to act properly. Pay more attention to Oppa's facial reactions. But be discreet. Don't be obvious looking like a lovesick puppy." She's like a little boss with all these instructions.

       Deh, seonsaengnim, duly noted."

         We picked up Rora on the way home since her dorm is nearer with my place.

        I hope everything will go smoothly tonight. Game on!
