Bias or crush? (paused)

Chapter 5 ~ Dreamcatcher

Amelia

I woke up with a big smile painted on my face. I can't believe what happened yesterday! Although, I wished I could replay the moment and just pause at the part where Jin put his headband onto my head.

I sat up and looked at the table across my bed. A rose and a cute cat headband. I couldn't ask for more. Those things just made me feel like the luckiest girl in the universe.

My thoughts were disrupted by the blasting sound of my ringtone. I immediately picked it up, not wanting dad to wake up from it.

"You're giving the rose to me right?!" I heard Jeanele screaming from the other side of the line.

"Never. And why are you yelling at me so early in the morning? Are you my mom?" I groaned.

Then the thought hit me.

My mom...

"Yah...wae andwae? (why not?) Jimin is my bias anyways, not yours"

"I know. That's why I'm not giving it to you. I don't want to see you becoming all crazy like Jae Eun" I could hear her giggle at the fact.

"Anyways, what are you doing today?"

Now that I think of it, I didn't have anything to do. I had already completed all of my homework and assignments. And it's not like dad would wanna hang out with me anyway.

"My dad's bringing me out today" I lied. It's not that I didn't want to hand out with her, it's just that its been long since I had some 'alone time'.

"Araseo, see you tomorrow then! Bye!" and she hung up.

I decided to catch up on my creativity. It's been forever since I continued my comic, wrote a song or drew. Though I knew they were pointless doing, I did it anyway as it really helps me release stress. And I knew just the place to do so.

I informed my dad before heading my way out to Starbucks. I know it's probably unhealthy to go there almost everyday, but something about that place just feels like home.

I rode my bicycle to the cafe as I wasn't really in the mood to walk. Riding the bicycle took only half as long as the amount of time I use to walk there. When I reached the front of the cafe, I locked my bicycle on the railings where other bicycles were locked as well.

The air condition hit my face as soon as I stepped in. Which was great, considering the heat outside. I went up to the counter to order my favourite drink, iced mocha.

"I see your back to continue your drawings, Amelia? I almost thought you had a new favourite cafe. I guess not. So, iced mocha I presume?"

"Yes please" I answered Soo Mi unni.

She's known me for quite some time now, as I came here often back then. She would sometimes come and talk to me when there were not many customers, which I found very comforting. But then I got busy with school and the cafe has gotten more popular with more customers. But it's ok, I didn't come here for a chat. I came here for inspiration, which I found I was lacking these few days.

I spotted I small empty table in the corner and darted toward a t before anyone else could steal it. I sat down in the chair and took out my sketchbooks from my backpack and started brainstorming ideas.

I had no idea how I wanted to continue my comic. I was stuck at the part where the two main characters first met on a bench in the park. The girl liked him from the first moment and was super happy when she found out he was her new classmate. Then blah, blah, blah and I'm stuck at the part where the guy hangs out with her for a day but how?

Should they go to the movies? But that's what only couples do. Play some games at the arcade? Wouldn't that be weird for a first time?

I gave up thinking and switched to my doodling pad. I started on a fresh page and started drawing a dream catcher. I was almost done with it when I heard the chair across me pull out. Was it unni?

I looked up and saw a different face I had not expected. I was so shocked, I almost fell off my chair.

"I see you like to come here too. Mind if I sit?" I nodded.

"What you got there? Can I see?" He asked as he reached out for my sketchpad. Yes. He. It was Lee Jun Ho.

"I'm not done though, and my drawing isn't very good..."

"Are you kidding me? This is so good? It's like a masterpiece!" I blushed at his reaction.

"Stop overreacting. I know you're exaggerating"I said, trying to cover my red face.

"Ok, ok. But seriously, why are you so good at this?"

"I guess I was born with the talent" I boasted, slightly.

"So why are you here? Alone?"

"Well, criminals kidnapped my parents and killed them but I'm scared they'll come after me so I'm just hiding here for protection" I said jokingly, but clearly I sounded so serious because his face became pale.

"I'm kidding. I just come here often for some alone time. Gosh, it's so easy to fool you" I softly laughed at him.

"Hahahaha...haa..." he laughed nervously.

"So I guess you've got nothing to do today?"

"Yeah, I guess so..."

"Wanna hang out with me? I'm kinda bored and my best friend is sick so you could say I'm a loner right now"

"Okay... Where are we going though?" Omg. I can't believe this was happening to me! I'm finally hanging out with my crush!

"Well we could go to the arcade... If you want?"

"Sure!" I said too enthusiastically.

"I mean...anything, up to you"I wanted to smack myself myself in the face as I saw him chuckling at my reaction.

We went out thinking about where to go next...
