Sipping the coffee cup, I was unsure of what to say while Scarlet was on her phone, keeping herself busy, while I sat there awkwardly. She placed her phone down and took a hold of her cup.
"Oh..I thought this only happened in dramas", she murmured, while removing a strand of hair from her face.
Scarlet read my confused expression, so she motioned at my lips. Must be the coffee...... I began to touch my face to see where whipped cream was, but I had no success. Scarlet outstretched her hand and used her fingertip to wipe it off. I did not know what to do, so I just looked down at my feet. Placing my eyes on the girl in front of me, I smiled and whispered "thank you" before sipping the remains of my coffee, wondering what to do with these newfound feelings.
-Scarlet-
I am not sure if that was a date or not, but I hope that Seungkwan is happy, seeing him upset worries me. I took him home, we both stepped out of the car, Seungkwan followed closely behind me. We both stopped at the door step, leaving me with a bittersweet feeling. I took a hold of his arm and placed a chocolate heart in his hand.
"Um...I would like to do this again, a date...if you don't mind", I said while awaiting for his answer.
"Yeah...sure, Does Christmas Day seem nice ?", he asked sheepishly, while scratching the back of his head.
I nodded in agreement, Seungkwan smiled and placed his hands in the pockets of his coat. I leaned in slowly and pecked him on the check, I stepped back while giggling and waved goodbye to a very dumbfounded Seungkwan, who had placed a hand from his cheek. Entering in my car, I went for a midnight appetizer, some noodles and fried chicken. Once there, I ordered and went to take a seat, the drizzle that began while I was driving became a door pour, the only thing I possibly liked about the cold weather is the rain. The waiter came and placed my plate of food on the table, once he left, I munched on my food like there was no tomorrow. Afterwards I paid and left the small restaurant, without realizing, I began to walk around and admire the rain. I ended up in a unknown street and almost ran over a strange bystander.
The weird bystander was soaked but showed no signs of freezing, wondering if this individual had become crazy. I placed so that it shield us both but he did not looked up.
"Excuse me, are you okay...? Do you need me to call a doctor, a cab, a physiatrist ?", I questioned, wondering if had wrong in asking a complete stranger, but it was too late to run.
He looked up, removing his hood and a reeking scent came from him which I can only distinguished as gingerbread. He abruptly stood up, placed his arms around my waist and embraced me, while he whispered "Junhong". The gingerbread scent became overbearing. I took a handful of his hair and yanked it until he finally let go of me. He took a step back and let himself fall down.
"I hate to be touched by others, especially strangers, I don't know who this Junhong is but I am not her" , I answered coldly, but I was falling apart on the inside. He about to speak, but I did not want to hear him, he reminds me of someone that I don't want remember.

When I got home, I checked my phone, nine missing calls from Mom. I returned the call and the phone rang three times before she answered.
"Scarlet, I would to know that you are safe, sweetie", she responded, while I worked on some christmas cards for the girls.
"Mom, I am fine and you should get some sleep, there is a seventeen hour difference", I replied back, worrying about her health.
"Okay Honey, make sure to come home for New Years....your dad and I are excited to see you", she mumbled, before yawning
Sure Mom, I love you too bye ", I hung up and went back to working on the Christmas cards.
***************************
Class would end early because of the holidays, so I began to pack, while the teacher was giving her closing speech. I somehow blanked out, but when she was done and had left, a male student with long red hair got up from his desk and posted a paper on the bulletin board.
"Well, anyone who is going the Christmas party has to be part of Secret Santa", the male student with long red hair announced with a smile on his face.
My friends texted me that they were going so I decided to go and write my name, when everyone who was going had written their name, the long red haired boy had counted everyone, he stood up again.
"Well, we decided that there would people in charge of Secret Santa.....Ming-Ming, come over here ", Seungcheol stated while he placed the names in a box. The only reason I knew who Seungcheol was because Zia had dropped something yesterday and he had picked it up and gave back to her with a note.
A male student who I took to be Ming-Ming, walked over there and helped Seungcheol with the name picking. "Okay, so for the boys.....Vernon and for the girls.....Scarlet, they will both be in charge of Secret Santa...the students have to go outside, so that they can mix the pieces of paper", Ming-Ming informed, before departing with two more boys who followed after him.
Vernon....who is he ? Well, I don't most of the male or female population of the class, maybe I could just exit casually.....
Or so I thought, a male student came running towards me, a strong scent of gingerbread hit me and I realized who it was. He came towards me, my breathing became unsteady, my palms sweaty. A sense of queasiness came over me, a need to hide. He came to stop about two feet away from me. The classroom was practically empty except for a boy with a black cap that concealed most of his hair, from the place I was standing, I could see tufts of blue hair. Sifting my eyes towards the person in front of me. He smiled and placed a loose strand of hair near his ear.
"Um, Hi, my name is Vernon and I am sorry about yesterday...I thought...nevermind, I heard that we are both in charge of the names for Secret Santa", he spoke quietly.
Merry Christmas everyone, I had to published this yesterday which I did but I don't think I saved everything, so I write it all over again and republished it again. I am sorry for any grammar errors, hope to update by today. Vote and comment please.
