HAPPINESS [STRAY KIDS' HWANG HYUNJIN] ✅

Chapter 6: First Meeting

It is now 2:00 p.m. and I'm hungry since I only ate two pieces of bread with butter and a cup of hot chocolate. After a while, I go to the snack vending machine to buy some chips. I don't know how to use it so I struggle for a while until a young man helps me. His hands are so skillful as he hit some button fastly with his mascular hand. There you go chips, finally coming out.

"Thank yo-" swoosh. He's gone.. He didn't even smile at me and just go on going upstairs. I then saw a familiar van. Again. But the number plate is different from neither Seonjin nor the 9 boys'. What a freak.

After eating a pack of chips, there you go. Seonjin's van!!! I am sooo excited. It is sharp 2:30 p.m. now. I run to his van and flash him my smile that Jane said that will make everybody 'fall in love'. But literally, I haven't smile at any guy in Korea except Seonjin.

I get on the car and Seonjin heads somewhere. "Oh wait that's the coffee bay, where are y-" I haven't finished my line yet but clearly I'm having a confused face.

"We're not going to Coffee Bay today, sorry. Chanho changes his plan last minutes because he's having a shoot near to this place called, Coffee Smith." I made an 'oh' face and Seonjin laughs.

"Wait, why are you laughing?" He laughs even more, " You're so cute when you smile and pout" He says which got me taken a back. Wow, Jane is true.. I guess?

It's my turn to laugh now. Hahahah. " I hope Chanho doesn't flirt with you there," Seonjin state with a smile.

"Hahaha I hope so too". Here we are, in front of the Coffee Smith.

"You go in first. I will tell Chanho that you are already here," I smile and nod at him. I got off the van and again people look at me weirdly.

I enter the shop feeling super excited although my brother isn't here yet. I go to the counter to order drinks. "I want to order 1 iced caramel macchiato and..-" I stop and stare at the menu board for a couple of second. Then I remembered what Seonjin told me the other day, "Chanho always come to Starbuck or any coffee shops to buy Caramel Latte,"

"- 1 caramel latte, thank you" I flash the barista a smile and she showed me a suprised face. "Mm why??," I asked confused.

She said, "Nothing, your smile. It is just so beautiful". I'm embarassed so I just laugh at her statement. She then gives me the Waiting Alarm.

I sit at a table beside the window. As I was waiting, I text Chanho saying that I am wearing a pink toptank and a blue trousers. Then, a handsome looking man comes in the café.

Everyone was shock as if they are casted by a spell by him. We suddenly had an eye contact and I feel like the time has stop. I am the one who broke the eye contact first. I don't know if I was imagining, but I am sure he look at me up and down. Oh shoot, is he coming here.

I start panicking. Breath Haneul, breath. Suprisingly, he sits in front of me. Some girl passing by has an annoyed face and I was like ookayy I hope Chanho comes soon. I was shy to death and I think my face is red like a silly tomato right now.

He suddenly flashes a bright smile. I think I died for 2 seconds. I think that he has a similar smile as mine. I flashes back my smile and he is suprised.

"That.. that smile.. I have saw them somewhere.." he shows me a really confused face and then close his eyes as if he is rewinding the picture in his mind.

He slowly open his eyes and smiles like the same smile back then. "S-song Haneul... right?" His expression is like hoping that I would be the person. Of course his smile is the same smile as mine. I slowly smile and nod saying yes. I don't know when but the next thing I know is my cheeks is wet with my own tears.

"I don't know you would b-be this pretty," he smile from ear to ear.

I laugh, "And I don't know my brother would be this handsome," and we both laugh.

"Are we really sibling?" We ask in unison.

"I think we're too perfect to be siblings," Chanho laughs cutely. Then my waiting alarm buzzed. "Oh, don't worry I'll get it for us" Chanho stands up and pick up our drinks.

He comes back with a tray of 2 cups of drink and a piece of cake. "I got us cakes" he smiles happily.

I then open my wallet to pay back his money but he stops me. "Don't worry, you're just 15. I will make a lot of money for you. To buy foods, house rent, school stuffs and everything. And don't worry too, I've registered you to School of Performing Arts. You can learn to produce music as I know that is your ambition since you're a kid.." he starts to slow down his voice. I look up and he has a glimse of guilt in his eyes.

"Why are y-"

"Haneul... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't search for you all this time. It's just.. I live alone since I'm 10 years old. You're the only one I have and you've been transferred to New York with Miss Haul. I'm sorry and I'm okay if you're mad at me," He says as if he was blaming himself for not looking at me.

I shake my head. "No no no, I'm actually excited- I mean really really excited to meet you today" I smile at him again.

"I'm so glad to see you today my little sister. I hope you never get lost from me again, okay" I laugh and nod,signing okay to him. We chit-chat for about an hour and a half. We also ate 3 pieces of cake and a cup of coffee each. It was about 3:15 p.m and he offers me to take a short walk to the park a few kilometeres from the café.

I agree because I didn't get much to talk, it was him who talked so much hahahah. What a cute brother. We walk hand by hand like a couple. People who passed by us made a 'so sweet' face to us and everytime someone does that, we both look at each other and laugh.

We stop at a bench and again he offers me to buy ice creams at the small stall under the tree. He then tells me to wait here and he runs there to get me ice creams. But weirdly, he didn't asked me what flavor do I want. He really doesn't want to ask or he doesn't need to ask? Then I see him quickly runs again to me.

"Here, your ice cream sweet lady" I laugh and made a sad face. Psst I just want to tease him.

He then made a scared face, "Omo wae wae, why is your face like that??" He looks guilty. "Don't you like Vanilla ? As long as I remember, you really love Vanilla when we were small," He looks even more sad.

"Hahahahahahahah, you hahahaha. You're so cuteeeeee~" I pinch his cheeks. He then made a lost face, "I was just teasing you, oppa. Hahahah you look so cute like a hungry little puppy. Your memories are really good. How much space is it there? Hahahahah," he then glare to me.

"Tsk tsk how dare you tease me!" He runs trying to chase me but I ran with all my heart. At last, he gives up and sits on the ground.

As we finish our ice creams, Chanho said that he wants to send me home. He calls Seonjin and we get in the van together. When we get to the apartment, Chanho quickly get off the car and then walks me upstairs. On the way to our house, we met the man who helps me with the vending machine. Suprisingly, Chanho and him know each

"Oh Chanho hyung, long time no see bro," they made a fist bump. I hide behind Chanho as I don't want him to recognise me. But then...

"Oh Donghan-sshi" Oh so his name is Donghan. "How are you? I haven't went back here for some times now. But now my sister, Song Haneul lives here now," The Donghan guy looks at me weirdly.

Maybe he knows that Chanho didn't have any siblings. "I'll explain it later, really. Just so you know that she is my sister. So if you find her getting into difficulties, please help her. She is new in Korea as well. Oh and Haneul, if you need any help, you can just ask him alright? His look might be too cold for a handsome young man but he has a kind heart," Chanho signals me with his eyes to shake hand with Donghan but I refuse.

But he keep forcing me so I need to do it. I offers my hands first but as soon as I want to introduce myself, "Oh mianhae hyung, I need to go now, please excuse me," then he's gone.

He really is acting something with me..
