dare [h. renjun]

-chapter twelve-

"you know... your food reminds me of someone. she used to cook for me."

-

"you wanna play in the playground?" renjun laughed behind me as i ignored it by rollimg my eyes before walking beside the street again.

"i just remembered my old childhood friend." i uttered out of a sudden that made him to look at me.

"what happened?"

"ive never seen him since we were young. his family had to move to america." the cold breeze attacked my body as i let those words out.

renjun remained silent, letting me continue talking. "i remembered when we used to exchange letters." i chuckled upon reminscing those times.

"you sound like you liked that childhood friend before." he said that made me look at him suspiciously.

"how did you know it was a boy?"

he simply shrugged his shoulders that made me furrow my eyebrows more. not just he's acting unusual, he's also acting weird.

"one time, i gave the letter to him personally, but he just looked at me confused as if he had no clue." i shook my head, continued laughing.

"you seem to have a great childhood." he managed to smile slightly, still having his eyes on the way.

"yeah.. it was great because of my friends. how about you?" i asked.. as i realized,

im trying to know more about him! and you know what happens when you got to know a person more, youll end up falling for them.. and that will never happen in my plan.

"not so great as yours. i didnt have that much close friends, and i only spend my time in my room." he replied. my lips dropped the smile when i remembered i used to be like that before until i meet sowon and sungwon.

"...but someone made my childhood interesting." he looked down to the ground, now smiling. i raised my eyebrows at him, thinking, 'is this guy talking about a girl?'

"aye.. you already got a love story while youre still a kid?" i mocked, now laughing as i hit his side by my elbow.

"we're the same!" i exclaimed that made him chuckle.

oh no... this is what i was talking about! im now laughing and mocking him.. mission abort mission abort!

"we're already here!" i bursted out, pointing at our front door.

"thankyouforwalkingmehome! bye bye!" i rapidly spoke while sprinting towards the door. i turned my head back to renjun to see him still standing beside the street, staring at me with his hands tucked inside his pockets.

"uhh.." i stammered, trying to twist the door knob, yet i realized it was locked.

"yah!" i yelled, pounding the door when i thought haechan is in his room again.

"aargg! where's that idiot!" i gritted my teeth as i took my phone out from my pocket. my mom just texted me that they cant go home tonight because they had a business to deal with.

"is something wrong?" i jolted to hear renjun's voice beside me.

"haechan--- i mean oppa isnt answering the door." i replied, my eyebrows still furrowed in annoyance.

i grabbed my phone again to text my brother.

hey where are you?!
