In Love With The City Girl

Two

Jungwon's pov

I chopped the onions for salad just when a guy named Niki entered like a ghost. "Hyung!" I almost chopped my hands. "What happened?" I turned towards the blonde. "Heesung hyung brought his girlfriend!" oh? But that was it? Why was he behaving like it was a big deal. "His girlfriend is five years younger than him!" now that can be a big deal. "Seriously?" I exclaimed.

Heesung hyung isn't the type to have a girlfriend five years younger than him, he is twenty-eight then his girlfriend is twenty- three? He is a regular costumer here and also our neighbor. "Whatever hyung, I can't serve them anymore. Special noodles and chocolate milk for two." Niki sighed and stirred the soup for other orders.

No way, I saw the same smoker in front of me sitting next to Heesung hyung. I collected myself trying to be professional and served their order. "Oh hey Jungwon!" Heesung hyung smiled at me while that girl beside him looked at me with wide eyes. I smiled at him and looked at the girl. She had three-four piercing in ears and tattoos too. Is it his type? Is she some spy from a mafia group?

"Is grandma here?" hyung asked noticing we were staring each other for long. "Someone missed me?" We turned our head to my dear grandmother who left for some ingredients a while ago. "Oh Hello grandma!" Heesung hyung stood up helping her to sit beside them. "Hello I am Lim Yuri." That smoker or Heesung hyung's girlfriend bowed; thank god at least she got manners.

"Oh! Yuri! Heesung told me about you yesterday." My grandmother patted her back as I sat on another chair beside them. "You are prettier than I thought!" this was seriously first time I have heard my grandmother compliment someone. Yuri smiled awkwardly before mumbling a thank you.

"Oh Jungwon, I forgot to tell you. This is Yuri my cousin from Seoul she will stay here in this summer."

Heesung hyung spoke. But Niki said she was his girlfriend, might be some misunderstanding. I turned towards and saw that she was already looking at me. "Nice to meet you. I'm Yang Jungwon. Her grandson." I gave her a fake smile. I think I am starting to hate her.

"Yeah she will stay at our place."

"What?"

"What?"

Yuri and I yelled in unison hearing my grandma. "Why are you two so surprised?" Heesung hyung asked.

"I don't want my house to be full of smoke!" I replied as Yuri gasped. "What do you mean?" Grandma asked me getting confused; she is just too nice to let anyone stay at her place.

"I caught her smoking at no smoking zone."

Yuri's pov

"I wasn't smoking! That cigarette was his." I pointed to Heesung as he looked everywhere but me. Boy you should've thought before getting addicted to that shit. "Is she saying truth? You are still smoking?" that Jungwon guy asked my brother with a stern voice. Did he ever quit it?

"Sorry." Heesung apologized looking down. Wait a moment- the Lee Heesung is apologizing? Jungwon forwarded his hand as my brother took out his cigarette pack and lighter before handing them to Jungwon. This is new.

"And you Yuri, how can you let him smoke? You know it is dangerous to health. Or do you support smoking?" what the hell? I am a freaking med student and he is saying I am supporting this shit? The last time I stopped him to smoke; he threw hot water on me. Quite unbelievable right? But this is how he turns without smoking. But Jungwon won't understand would he?

"Jungwon it's my fault that I smoked why you are yelling at her?" my brother is absolutely right, you don't scream at people you just met unless you hate them with your guts.

Jungwon sighed and stood up. "You are not staying at my house." He glared at me and left. As if I am dying to.

"Sorry honey, he is just frustrated." His grandmother patted my back; she is sweet unlike her grandson. I hate him now.

"Let's take you to grandma's house. Don't worry his opinion doesn't matter." Heesung said trying to lift up my mood. But it's already ruined.

Few hours later

I lay on my bed after arranging everything with the help of Heesung, that's a different part of story where all he did was hang an old picture of us on the wall then he started gaming.

"Okay Yuri, I'm going to Beomgyu's place. It's at the end of the alley." He said before taking his leave. This house is bigger than I thought. It is an old fashioned one but with five bedrooms and a huge living room.

Just then I heard a knock on the door.

"Listen, you are here just because my grandma likes you but I won't let you live here for free. It's hundred dollars per month." Jungwon stated looking at me to reply. I raised my head. "Take that from Heesung."

He scoffed and crossed his arms. "I knew it, Heesung hyung said that he can't pay since he spent all his money on renovation." Shit. I don't think my dear mother will give me my allowance after I practically ran away.

Should I find myself a part time job? "Uh okay, I will find myself a job then, to pay the rent." Don't even ask about my savings. I don't have any. "As expected from a spoilt kid like you. This is not your dear Seoul; do you think anyone will prefer a gangster looking teen in their shop?"

What the hell is wrong with this man? Gangster looking teen? Seriously?

"Mr. Yang, first of all I am third-year med student at SNU, I can assure you that I have never did any illegal activities in my twenty-three years of life. You have no rights to judge me because of my looks!" I sat up and threw a pillow at him which he couldn't dodge. Slow reflex tch.

"What is going on?" Jungwon's grandma came and peeked from his huge built. I stood up and bowed to her, can I say how his grandson just spoke to me earlier?

"Sweet heart is my Won annoying you?" she said glancing at me then glaring at him. "All I said that she ain't living here for free." Jungwon shrugged off soon earning a smack from Mrs. Yang. "Who are you to decide that? I own this house and she will live here just like my granddaughter."

Granddaughter? I suddenly felt gloomy hearing the word. Both sides of my grandparents passed away before I was born, I had never heard someone calling me with so much affection.

"Yuri? Are you crying?" She kind of yelled as I turned myself to wipe out my watery eyes. "See you mad her cry! Oh lord! How my son gave birth to such a disappointment!" I let out a chuckle hearing Jungwon gasp at her statement.

"I'm sorry, I don't have grandparents. So I uh- just got emotional. Sorry!" Mrs. Yang gave me an apologetically look while Jungwon's eyes soften, is he pitying me?

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry about it. You can think of me as your grandmother okay?" she said before hugging me. I almost forgot what a hug feels like. "Thank you." I mumbled hugging her back.
