LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO

I EXPECTED TOO MUCH

SULLI'S POV

I overslept the following morning. I had been at peace in my sleep because Minho was back. I am so happy to see him again today. But it was already 10am in the morning. The sun is up and I didn't even notice how the heat is burning up outside. There were no longer kids outthere who would continuously bang the gate until Eunjung opened it. No one would dare wake me up with a loud knock on my door. No loud chats during morning breakfast. Those were the days with Minho and Hyun Woo. I still miss them from time to time whenever I woke up late and staring up the ceiling, trying to reminisce the past.

Well, I don't think I did the right thing to even tell Minho that I love him. It was too early to even tell. I might be confused with my feelings because it was the first time not to spend school breaks with Minho. For the longest time now, we always spend semestral vacation together even without going somewhere . Maybe it was just all but a hundred fold of illusion or rather delusion.

I went down the kitchen and looked for breakfast. Eomma approached me and asked me to sit and breakfast will be served in a little while. I took a mug of fresh milk and looked through the window as if waiting for someone.

Mom just looked at me seriously. She grinned with a naughty smile. " Are you waiting for someone?" She asked.

"Not really..." I bluffed and continued to sip the cold milk slowly. I sat down and waited for my breakfast. "Has Minho called?" I asked again.

"Didn't he call you by your cellphone?"

"Ah, maybe he has a jet lag... He is still asleep..."

"Hmmm, missing him? You really missed him a lot ,don't you?" I gave mom a wink instead.

Mom did not confirm anything what's going on between Minho and me. She just let me be. She stroked my hair and smiled so dearly. Eomma sat beside me while I am eating.

"You have grown up too fast." She uttered. "I can't prevent you from growing and leaving this house soon." She has gone too dramatic this morning. I don't know what has gotten into his mind.

"Eomma..."

"We're you in a serious relationship with Minho?"

"NO... he was just trying to help me become a good girlfriend " I said. I really don't think it's a good idea to even tell Eomma what's going on between the two of us without confirming things to Minho so I try to make up answers instead. But I was caught unaware that Minho is there.

"Don't worry, Tita Veron. There is nothing serious going on" I was so shocked to hear Minho's voice behind me. His voice is quite disappointed. He smiled but a deep frustration appeared on his face.

"Huh! Minho..."

"Good morning, Sulli." He kissed me on my forehead as I tried to make an eye-to-eye contact with him but he never looked at me directly. He greeted Eomma too.

"Want breakfast?"

"No, thanks...I had my fill at home. I dropped by to see you. Did you just wake up?" He asked. He was trying to avoid the subject. He accompanied me to the table I finished eating.

I couldn't explain to him why I said those things. He is now pretending that he has heard nothing. Crazy little tongue... how could you just easily slip words without even thinking and considering people around you? Crazy! Crazy!
