Roommates

Part 8

My family has been living with the Son family for a week now. It's been the weirdest week of my life. This is officially the last week of summer break, so my boss gave me the week off. I'm excited to enjoy my last week of freedom. I'm nervous about starting my last year of high school. Today Sa Rang and I are going shopping. Mi Na and her family are visiting her cousins in Daegu. Sa Rang and I are now at the mall looking at clothes.

"Yah, this dress is so cute." Sa Rang says.

"You should get it." I say, checking it out.

"You should get some dresses, since you literally own like two." Sa Rang says.

"Wae? Two is more than enough." I say. Sa Rang rolls her eyes.

"Why are you such a tomboy?" Sa Rang asks, looking at my outfit. I'm wearing boyfriend jeans, an over sized t-shirt and white sneakers.

"I don't know. What I do know is that dresses are uncomfortable." I say, looking at the dress Sa Rang is wearing.

"This one is pretty." Sa Rang says, holding up and blue and white striped dress. It is actually kinda cute.

"When will I need a dress?" I ask. Sa Rang sighs.

"You don't need a specific occasion to wear a dress." Sa Rang explains.

"Fine, I'll get it." I say, taking the dress from her. She smiles.

"You'll look so cute." Sa Rang says.

"Sure I will." I say, sarcastically. We continue looking through clothes in silence.

"Lee Jooheon hasn't contacted me in three days." Sa Rang says, suddenly. I smile to myself.

"Maybe he's busy." I say, knowing exactly why he hasn't contacted her.

"True, but just between us, I kind of miss him." Sa Rang says. I'm glad she said that because Son Hyun Woo and I have come up with a plan. Son Hyun Woo and Jooheon are suppose to coincidentally show up here.

"Jinjja? I thought you said he was annoying and that you wished he would leave you alone." I say.

"I know." Sa Rang says.

"I'm surprised you're not happy, since you did get your wish." I say.

"I know." Sa Rang says again. I'm so excited for the rest of this to unfold.

"We should try our dresses on." Sa Rang says, changing the subject.

"You can, I don't want to." I say. Sa Rang gives me a death glare. "Aish, fine." We head into the two change rooms in the back.

"I wish Mi Na was here." I say.

"Me too." Sa Rang agrees. We both get changed and then come out and show the other.

"You look so cute." I say to Sa Rang.

"You do too." Sa Rang says in awe. I look at myself in the mirror. Surprisingly, I don't look that bad.

"Yah! Song Jae Eun!" A familiar voice calls. Son Hyun Woo, which means showtime. I turn around and see Son Hyun Woo and Jooheon approaching.

"What are they doing here?" Sa Rang asks.

"How should I know?" I ask.

"What are you doing here?" Son Hyun Woo asks.

"Lee Jooheon." Sa Rang blurts. Jooheon glances at her.

"That's my name, don't wear it out." Jooheon says, coldly. Sa Rang looks at him shocked.

"Wae geurae?" Sa Rang asks. Jooheon glances at me. I lightly nod at him, giving him the signal to stop his act.
