Chap. 8

Author POV

Yeoreum and the boys get a long with each other so well. "So, how old are you?" Seungkwan asked Yeoreum. "I'm 17." Yeoreum said as Mingyu and Minghao ran towards Yeoreum and sat on the floor.

"Jinjja?!" They said happily and Yeoreun nodded, smiling.

"Which mean you're a noona!!" Chan smiling widely at Yeoreum. "Really? How old are you?"

"I'm 15. Seungkwan hyung and Hansol hyung are 16." Chan said as Yeoreum nodded.

They all laughed and talking and teasing each other and at the same time they tried to make Seokmin talk or laugh but failed.

-time skip-

"We'll come here someday." Jeonghan said as they leave. "Bye noona!" The maknae line said in sync. "Bye!" The others said as Yeoreum waved back, smiling at them.

Once they leave, Yeoreum closed the door and followed Seokmin to the living room. Yeoreum sat on the couch while Seokmin was finding the remote control.

Seokmin found the remote control and sat beside Yeoreum. She looked at him while he pick the good movies or cartoon to watch. He decided to watch Mood Of The Day where two strangers fell in love with each other in one day.

As they watched the drama, Yeoreum laughed as one of the characters always get the bad luck. Both of them focused on the drama until there's a kissing scene.

Yeoreum immediately looked at Seokmin and Seokmin did the same thing. Yeoreum feel her cheeks redden and quickly looked down. Her heart beats faster everytime Seokmin looked at her or close to her. She don't even know why.

The kissing scene finally over and they watched it back.

Yeoreum's POV

The drama finally ended. I hugged my knees and realised that it was already evening. Suddenly I got an idea to take Seokmin for a walk. I don't know why but it suddenly popped in my mind.

"Seokmin ah~" He looked at me.

"Do you want to take a walk around your neighbourhood?" I asked as he stood up. I thought he didn't want it as I looked down in disappointment.

I looked back up and I was a little bit suprised that he took out his hand in front of me. I hesitated for a while and decided to took his hand as I smile to him. I loosen my grip on his hand but he still held my hand.

'Does he like skinship?'

My heart beats faster as he held my hand. "Where are you both going?" Aunt Rose asked smiling. "We're going out for a walk around this neighbourhood." I said politely as she nodded and she smirked while pointing at our holding hand.

I mouthed "he's the one who hold it first" and Aunt Rose chuckled as we left.

He still hold my hand while we were walking. I thought he forgot about it. "Seokmin, umm your hand." He looked down at me since he's taller and then to our hand. At first, he hesitated to let go and he finally let go.
'Why is he hesitated?'

I shook my head and we reached at the playground. There's so many kids running and playing around. We sat on the bench while enjoying our surrounding. "I remembered that I used to go to the playground with my dad when I was little." I smile at the memories.

'I miss my dad'

He looked at me as I told him my childhood memories. I'm glad that he listened to my boring stories. I sighed. And I realised that it's already late.

"Oh it's late. We should go back or the others will worried." I said as I stood up. He followed and walked next to me closely. So close until our hand touched.

'Why is he like this?'

A few minutes later, we finally arrived home. I went straight to my room and lied on my bed and the moments earlier suddenly played in my mind. Why am I like this? Why did my heart beat faster when he looked at me or held my hand?

Does he like me? Or I like him? I don't know. Arrghhh this feeling is so complicated. I hate this. I sighed and took out my phone.

I opened our group chat and decided to asked them since all my friends are love experts.

*group chat*

Me : guys!
Jieun : waeyo?
Me : how we want to know if we like someone?
Hyemin : uuuu uri Yeoreum likes someone, huh? *smirk*
Raehyung : jinjja? Who's the boy?
Me : aniyaaaaaa. I'm just asking tho.
Minju : hmm okay, if you like someone, your heart beats faster everytime he looked at you or talk or close to you or smile to you.
Raehyung : and he will popped out in your mind for 24 hours eventho you didn't want it
Hyemin : yeah it's true.. But for real Yeoreum, do you REALLY like someone? Because you never asked this kind of question before

Minju : that Seokmin boy is handsome tho
Raehyung : yeah maybe Seokmin is your future husband. Don't you believe in destiny?????
Me : yaishh what are you guys talking about? Enough.. I'm off.

*end group chat*

I close my phone and sighed. Do I really like him? And why did Mrs Lee asked me for a help? Yeah why? I should asked her later.

I shook my head and took a shower. I wore my pyjamas and I sat on the edge of my bed while playing with my phone. Suddenly I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in."

I looked on the door and it revealed Seokmin. "Is there anything I can help?" He looked at the clock and I think he wanted to tell me it's dinner. "It's dinner, isn't it?" I said as he walked out from my room and I followed him.

We went to the dining room and as usuall I saw Mrs Lee and the maids smiling to us.

-time skip-

"Umm Mrs Lee," I called as Mrs Lee looked at me, smiling while sitting on the couch. "Yes my dear?" I took a deep breath before asking. "Umm..why did you choose me to take care of Seokmin and make sure to make him talk?"

"Oh. Come sit here." She patted the space next to her and I obeyed. "Well I'm not sure why I chose you." She said between her laugh as I smile. "Because I want to? I really don't know. And besides, you two looked cute together." I suddenly blushed and looked away.

"But really Yeoreum, I hope that you can help. I can't stand it anymore. It's hurts me to see him like this. I miss my old son. This is not my son. I want my old son back. I want my Happy Seokmin." Tears are streaming down on her cheeks as I wiped them away and hugged her.

"It's okay, Mrs Lee. I promise to make him talk." I broke the hug and smile to her. "Really?"

"You can count on me. Once I make a promise, I'll never break it." I hugged her back as she thank me. "You are so nice. *yawn* I'm sleepy. Well good night." She said as she walked away and I nodded.

"Good night."

I let out a sighed and pick some movies to watch. Suddenly some of the lights were off. "Oh, Yeoreum! You still awake?" Uncle Kim said as he shocked. "Did I scare you?" I laughed. "Kind of. I was about to off all the lights down here. But then I heard that the television was still on and I wondered who's watching it. I thought you were a ghost at first." He explained as I laughed again.

"I should go to sleep right now." I said as I turned off the television and wished uncle Kim a 'good night'. I went upstairs to my room.

I took my bunny blanket and hugged it as I lied down on my bed and went to dreamland.
