Better- SeongSang

51 - Yeosang

I have been weirdly tired lately and I don't know why.

 I tried to flop onto my chair but I missed and landed on the floor. I let out a whine.

Seonghwa just smiled at me. "You're so dumb." He helped me up and into my chair. He sat next to me and held my hand. "Do you want to go out today?" He asked me. "Or are you too lazy?"

"I'm just tired." I leaned onto my desk. Playing with his fingers. I sighed. "I'll see after school."

He nodded.

"What were you thinking?"

"We could go to the mall. Don't you want to get some touch-ups?" He played with my hair. "Your roots are growing out. It looks nice but it's up to you."

"I do... but." He tilted his head. "I'm just used to doing that stuff with my friends."

"Oh ok. It's fine."

I quickly sat up. I feel like bad now. "Seonghwa. No, I do want to spend time with you."

"But?"

"But... I'm still not used to... us" I looked down.

He laughed. "I understand, it's fine. Seriously."

I shook my head. "We'll go today."

"If you're tired..." "Shut it. Let me spend time with you damn it!"

He patted my head. "Fine. I guess." He rolled his eyes and turned away.

I slapped him on the arm. "You're so mean."

After school we went to the mall to go get my hair done.

"Do you want to get your hair done this time?" I asked him as we walked.

"Hmm. I don't know. Probably a trim. It's getting a bit long."

I ran my fingers through his hair. "I don't know. I kinda like the long hair." I smiled. "But it's whatever you want."

"I'll think about it." He smiled. "Probably get it cut later. We are here for you today."

"We are always at the mall for me." I pouted.

"Cause I really couldn't care about what others think."

I rolled my eyes. "What about yourself?"

He shrugged. "Whatever I'm comfortable with. I like the long hair but I kind of don't want to hear my friends telling me to cut it."

I hummed. "Whatever."

"You upset that I care about their opinion?"

"Well, you don't seem to care for mine."

"I never said I didn't."

I looked away.

"I'll keep the long hair if you like it."

I huffed. "Whatever you're comfortable with."

He pulled me closer and laughed.

I didn't end up getting my hair touched up because it wasn't so bad and I really shouldn't be killing my hair again.

"So since you changed your mind what do you want to do?" He asked.

I stopped walking and shrugged. "I don't know."

"Do you want to buy some clothes?"

I thought for a bit before I shook my head. "No, not really."

"Are you sure?"

I looked at him weirdly. "Why are you trying to get me to buy new clothes?" I crossed my arms. "Do you not like my clothes?" I looked at my reflection. "I thought I looked nice."

"No. No. It's not that."

"Then what is it?"

"You look nice. Obviously..."

"Hmmm... Go on." I crossed my arms.

"I kind of want to see you in something... Different."

"Like?"

He shrugged. "I don't know. I really like your clothes already but I feel like you would like really pretty in a different style of clothing." He then looked kind of scared. "But obviously you don't have to get anything if you don't want to!"

I looked down. I see what he means. I get it.

"Uhhh. No. I get it. It's just I wouldn't really know."

"Yeah sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound bad."

I shook my head. "I understand." I looked at him. "I can kinda say the same about you."

He laughed. "Yeah, I know." He took my hand. "So what do you want to do? Shop? Eat? Explore? What?"

"I don't know."

We both went quiet when his phone started going off. He took his phone out and stared at it weirdly before rolling his eyes and groaning.

"It's my mom."

"Oh." He took my hand and pulled me over to a small seating area.

He sat me down as he answered the call. I played with his hand.

"Hi, mom. What's up?" He looked annoyed. I giggled. "No. I'm just at the mall. Why?" He frowned. He looked even more annoyed now. "Why?... No. I want to know now. I was just there during break. Why do I have to go again?" He pulled his phone away. He glared. "She hung up on me!"

I giggled.

He put his phone away. "Well, they want me to visit."

"When?" He pulled me up.

"Tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Yeah." He let out a sigh. "We still didn't figure out what we are going to do though."

I smiled.

"We can just get something to eat and go back."

"You sure?"

I nodded. "Until you have something you want to do."

"Actually... I want to look at something. That's if you don't mind."

I shook my head. I stood up and held his hand. "Lead the way."

He smiled.

He wanted to look at Legos... I followed him around the store. He would occasionally stop and looked at some sets.

I never really took him to be the type to be into this stuff... But then again I did notice a Lego set tucked away in his closet when I went to his house.

So I guess he likes it but I didn't see any other sets in his room.

Following him again as he started to go around some more.

He sat on the floor as he looked at another set.

Oh God.

I was being stared at by a kid. He looked at Seonghwa weirdly before backing away.

I glared at the kid. He quickly walked away. Smiling as I crossed my arms.

Stupid kids.

Feeling a tug on my pants, I looked down. Seonghwa stared up at me. He mouthed to me to stop. I huffed and turned away.

Looking around as I continued to wait. Quickly looking back at him when he got up and groaned. "They don't have the set I want but it's whatever."

"You can ask. Sometimes they just forget to restock things in the front."

"That's true." He took my hand and pulled me to one of the staff.

Hearing him talk to them about the set he wanted. He became upset once they told them that they didn't have it in stock at the moment and he could order it online.

Walking out of the store, he crossed his arms and pouted.

I smiled. "It's either you buy it online or wait for them to restock. You can also just buy different set right now."

He shook his head. "No. It's fine. I'll just wait." He pulled me. "Let's go back now. I'm tired and sad."

I giggled. "Ok."
