A Promise

18

As I reached home, I was shocked to see Somi waiting for me in front of my house. "That is Bangtan, right? Why don't you invite them to enter our house?" she said after scrutinising me from head to toe.

Our house? It is my house!

Wait, this house is owned by Hani too.

As I got no energy and felt so sleepy, I didn't even reply at Somi's question.

She touched my cloth and said "Uwaaa, I can feel that this dress is so expensive!"

I ignored her and trudged into the house.

"Seulgi-ssi!"

I stopped as I heard someone's calling my name. I tilted my body as saw Jimin walking towards me.

"Eo, Jimin-ssi. Why?" I stuttered. Somi covered her mouth as she was still in disbelief that Jimin is my boyfriend.

"You left your phone," he said while passing me my phone. I took it and bowed.

"Oh, sorry for burdening you."

Jimin shook his head.

"Ani, you're my girlfriend afterall," he said while giving his ethereal smile. I took a glance at Somi. Of course, she was fangirling over Jimin.

"Oh, Seulgi's niece! Nice to meet you but I need to go, okay? Bye!" he said while smiling so wide at Somi. He left the place after patting Somi's shoulder.

"OH MY GOD!" Somi said loudly as he left after letting out a really loud sigh.

"Wae?" I asked after entering the house feeling a little bit offended by Jimin who didn't even said any goodbye to me.

He bid a goodbye to Somi huh.

"I forgot how to breathe just now," she said while trailing behind me. I raised my eyebrows feeling so weird after hearing her words.

"How can you forgot to breathe?"

"How can I dare to breathe after the pat? Oh my god, I think that is the best pat ever that I've got!" she exclaimed looking so excited over Jimin's pat.

"Mhm, whatever. I'm sleepy," I said as I was still a little groggy from my nap.

"Yah, auntie! I saw you on the live press conference just now. You look uhm what to say uhm pretty uhm no uhm a little pretty than your usual self. I mean you don't look sloppy at least," she said as she was following me to my room.

"What are doing here? Duh, I WANT TO SLEEP!" I shouted so loud as I saw her sitting on my bed as I was getting ready to sleep.

"You owe me a story," she whined while shaking my hands vigorously.

"I'm so sleepy. I will tell you after I wake up, please." I beseeched because I cant no more handle my sleepiness.

"Eo, arasseo but at least change your cloth. Are you going to sleep with that expensive dress?"

I sighed looking at my clothes before collecting my courage to stand up and change my cloth. After I finished, I quickly threw my body to the bed and in no time, I felt asleep without realising that I've got a new message.

I groped on my bed, searching for my phone as it was ringing so loud. With the eyes still closed, I answered the call.

"Hello?" I said sounded so hoarse.

"Yah, my daughter!" My mother was the person who called me. My mother's loud pitch was heard.

"Aigoo omma, your vocal pitch is so high. Mhm whatever, why are you calling me?" I asked while stretching my body. I kept yawned as my eyes still felt so heavy.

"You asked me why? What? Aren't you going to tell me something?" she asked which sound like she was so pissed off.

"What? Oh, my salary. I will bank in tomorrow, don't worry." I continued to lay myself on the bed. My mother always demanded for money when I've got my salary.

"Ani, that is not the problem right now. The problem right now is since when did you and that famous guy are in love?" she asked demanding for an answer.

"Oh, that is not a problem omma." I said.

"What? You know what-"

"I don't know," I cut off her words.

"Yah, I've not finished talking yet. Aigoo, my daughter."

"Ne ne, continue to talk omma," I spoke while getting ready to sleep again.

"Ani, you know what. My phone keeps ringing nonstop after you've done doing the press conference. You know what? I was so ashamed because I don't know what my daughter was doing and people kept asking for an explanation. What worse was I got to know that you already have a boyfriend from my long lasting enemy, Sana's mom. You know how much I hate her but how can you do this to me huh?"

"Mhm," I replied slowly as I wasn't listening at all to her mumble as I was sleeping.

"Yah!" she shouted and that made my eyes widen for awhile.

"Ne, omma."

My mom quirked her eyes as she heard that. "Ne? What are you yes for?"

"Oh, ani ani."

I heard her sighing so loud. "Aigoo aigoo, this girl is really giving me headache."

"Omma, I've already told about this to appa and I told him to say this to you too," I spoke softly.

"Then why did he didn't tell me?"

"Molla, he's your husband tho. Why ask me?"

She ended her call with me.

Aigoo, my omma always being so pityful.

I had to squint my eyes to focus on my phone as I saw Jimin's name. It turned out to be that I'd a message from him. I opened the message.

Thanks for today. Have a nice sleep :)

I beamed so wide.

"EO! AUNTIE HAD WOKE UP!" The loud voice of Somi made me slap my forehead for not closing the door. She entered my room and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for me to open up a story. I sighed before sitting beside her.

"Uwa, I felt like I will listening to our country's secret," she squealed and clapped for me.

"Okay okay. This is how the story goes. I met Jimin at the hospital and he asked me to be his girlfriend. The end," I spoke simply and that made Somi slapped my thigh.

"I waited for about a day to hear this and that is the only thing you want to tell me? Pft, I hate you so much," she mumbled slowly.

"Yah, I heard clearly what you say."

She made a face and stomped out from my room.

Huh she's sulking.

I let out a big sigh and went to her room. I knocked her door but got no reply. "I'm going in," I spoke as her door knob clicked.

I chuckled as I saw her pretending to sleep. "Yah, I know you are not sleeping. Ireona," I said while shaking her legs slowly.

"What?" she asked while pouting her mouth.

She's being so cute.

"You said that you want to know how I got to be Jimin's girlfriend," I said trying to persuade her from sulking.

"Pft, you met him at hospital, he told you to be his girlfriend and you agree. The end," she cutely repeat what I've said before. She laid back on her bed.

"Okay, now let me tell you the whole story."

And that made her eyes widen.
