Chapter 17: Chores 하기 싫은 일



Min Chi


  "Ahhh!"


  The yelping sound arose from the fugitive blonde girl that is annoyingly beside me, and the reason why we're all here in the practice room, kneeling for how many hours just to realize the fact that some annoying noise are being heard at 1:00 in the morning. This isn't considered blaming, but I think some of you will consider it otherwise. I don't understand why we have to kneel for hours, and it's not just the kneeling part that I don't understand, but the way they wake us up at 6:00 in the morning. They all know that I'm not a morning person. -,-


  "I thought you're all done screaming?" Mr. Joong asked us sarcastically. He is still angry at us, 'cause he was the one who faced the angry villagers who was about to strangle us, unfortunately. Well, I must admit, I kinda have this tiny disappointment towards him. Although, his particular comely must've gotten the way and was immediately replaced with Handsomeness. Not that it mattered to you, but it mattered to me. 


  Ms. Lee stood up carrying an unusual stick with her, that I probably guess is an elongated twig that she always use whenever someone did something bad. You see, some specifiable reasons about the three teachers, that are the only teachers who are in this trip, (Have you ever wondered?) is because they're the strictest. They say the three of them is enough to say that they are The Devil's Angels. [Comes from the movie, Charlie's Angels]. How ironic...


  "Enough with this. You've all been kneeling for hours." Mr. Jung stated as he walk towards the teachers who were agreeing with his statement. Hazel, my american classmate, sighed as she rolled her eyes with complete annoyance. "You think?" she said sarcastically as she made a pissed look. I look away, with my eyes, popping, curious on the next thing we will do.


  "You can stand up now." As all the teachers announced in unison, they were greeted by eager students who were now groaning and moaning as the effect of our knees on the ground ran through our bodies. I glanced at Baekhyun, with a complete emotionless face. He was rubbing his knees, with an annoyed expression. He look up, and his eyes landed on mine. 


  I guess this is the meaning of: eye contact.


  He bent down to retrieve something from the floor, stealing a few quick glances at me, as I finally realized what I was doing. My eyes quickly darted at something, that was placed on the green and healthy-looking grass outside the glass window. I'm pleased that the student council of leaders, have been listening attentively at some evocative statements that my classmates has been busy about for the past months.


  Rather curious, I gathered all of my strength to leave Baekhyun in the practice room and just go outside. I saw the students, as they were gathering around the big brown box that was place on the grass. Eun Soo, our class valedictorian, quietly walk towards the teachers. Whispering something, that made The Devil's Angels look at each other while nodding their heads.


  You see, even Eun Soo is attracted to the all mighty Byun Baekhyun. One time, she confessed her feelings to Baekhyun in Biology. I was really looking forward to disect that slimy frog that San Beok put a lot of effort to catch — which, I am surprisingly proud of.— but then, she began to say this super sweet things to Baekhyun that I can't take it anymore, I just had to squeal because they are so perfect for each other. And, I don't want to tell the rest of the story.


  I scanned my surroundings, as I saw Jun Young waving his hand to catch my attention. Obviously, it did. So, I walk towards him, as he patted his side, indicating me to sit beside him. I look at the teachers who were now in front of us, as I approach Jun Young. I hugged my knees with my hands and listen attentively.


  "Today, we are now doing your daily chores." Ms. Lee announced, and with that, the students groaned in desperation. Just thinking of chores made me... Wel, it's normal for me 'cause Yoon Ji always makes me clean my room. So, it's no big deal. 


  "But, doing chores without a partner is boring right?" Mr. Su Joong said as-a-matter-of-fact tone. We all nodded as we became interested in the next announcement. They were not wearing their disappointment face. So, it means, we should keep doing what we're doing to make them forget about what we did earlier.


  "You don't say..." someone murmured from behind. And by the voice of that someone, I already know who it was. Jun Young and I both turn around to know who it was (that I secretly know due to our friendship.) Baekhyun sat there on the grass, his palms, resting on the dirty ground as he just looked at me with an emotionless expression. And, I just couldn't help the fact that his eyes are very twinkly when it's against the sunlight. Well, every sunlight and moonlight — basically, any word that has 'light' on it, fits him perfectly. — fits him very well.


  Darn that eye-catching eyes of his.


  We looked at each other with no expression, just plain... normal face. If you consider that a sweet thing. Before I can even look away on those hypnotizing black orbs (that I swear, is gonna kill someone someday), the students began to cheer. Too much for the excitement, I look at Jun Young who was clapping and smiling simply, as he watched the students jumping in complete satisfaction.


  "What happened?" I asked, seeing the nonsense that I have been focusing when I didn't notice my surroundings. Jun Young rested himself with his palms in the ground, like a relaxing pose. He look at me with a teasing smile. "You've been carried away by your deep and somehow, I probably thought about you offering him a bland reassurance about something I am unaware of." he stated chuckling while he turned away and stand up with the same expression.


  "뭐라고? (What did you say?)" I asked with a hint of annoyance and curiosities in my voice. But Jun Young ignored me and began to walk towards the box, that is now being surrounded by people. "Aigoo, I don't want that idea." Baekhyun's voice became nearer and nearer.. Until he was now beside me, his head, resting on my shoulder while he slowly closed his eyes.


  I can probably tell you that I am now going crazy. Undefined feelings are rushing through my veins, with a massive explosion coming from my stomach. But, I wasn't dead. (Of course) I thought of that already, but I wasn't dead. My inner self is dead. Am I exaggerating a bit? 'Cause I'm really describing my emotions about myself right now.


  "Ya! love birds, aren't you coming?" Jun Young teased as he pointed to the box. Reality hit me like a lightning bolt, as I nodded, looking at Baekhyun. Shaking my right shoulder, the black-haired boy look up in an instant. As if, he has just woken up by his peaceful sleep. He looks adorable!! — Knock it off, Kim Chi!! — I look away, as soon as I recover from that trance again.


  "We're being called. C'mon!" I said holding his elbow, refraining him to say something until something has been started. Baekhyun groaned, unpleasantly as I just glared at him. Turning my attention to the box that contains a lot of papers, Hazel took a paper, since she was near the box. She read it carefully not making any sound. Then, she sighed.


  "Kim Jay Lee." she said as she just rolled her eyes, keeping the paper. Jay Lee, a brown haired girl walk towards her with a smile on her face. Hazel smiled back, but it was obviously a fake one. "Aishh, I wish my partner is Kim Chi." Jun Young said while glaring at Hazel. I was about to laugh as I thought of myself idling while Jun Young is doing his chores.


  But then, Baekhyun, who was behind me, rested his hands on my shoulders. I look at him rather confused, as he just gave a smile at Jun Young. "She's my partner." he stated, a little confident. I shook my head with a smile, rolling my eyes. I look at Eun Soo, who was now the one picking. My eyes darted at a very white paper, that I want to pick.


  But Eun Soo took it. I guess, I'll have to pick another one. She glanced at the teachers and smiled before reading the paper. "Mine is Byun Baekhyun." she stated with a grin on her face. My eyes darted to Baekhyun, his eyes were popping and his lips were parted. "뭐? (What?) But my partner is Kim Chi." he said, pointing his long and skinny fingertips at me.


  Why are you even explaining his fingertips? You're being pointed!


  But they're so beautiful. And adorable too.


  "뭐?! (What?!)" I yelled as I look at him, my mouth opening, glaring at him. And all I get was a cheeky grin from him.


~○~○~○~○~


  "Kim Chi-ah, can you pass me the potato?" Jun Young whined as I glanced at the potato. I look at him again, while pointing the potato. "This?" I asked him, reassuring myself. He look at me for a second with a poker face. "No, the apron. I'll mix the apron to the soup." he stated sarcastically, which made me hit him with the potato. Even if Baekhyun's not my partner, there's always someone who will replace him.


  "Hahahaha!" Jun Young laughed as he continuously recieved a lot of painful hits coming from me. "Ya! Can you please quiet down?" Baekhyun complained from the other side of the cooking table. Me and Jun Young are partners, and we were scheduled to make the soup with Baekhyun and Eun Soo in the other cooking table, cooking our lunch.


  "데! (Yes!)" I said, looking at him with a smile. "Quiet down will you!" I shushed Jun Young to make his voice much lower. He shrugged and continued to make the soup. I told you, I'm not doing anything. I'm just here grabbing the things Jun Young needs while he makes the soup. I glanced at Baekhyun and Eun Soo, to find Baekhyun looking at me.


  Maybe, if we'll start a cooking show, we'll probably name it: Awkward Situation during cooking time with Baekhyun and Kim Chi!!
