My Little Prince

Chapter 3. The first Meeting.

I woke up 9’oclock in the morning. It was unusual for an early bird like me to wake up in this time of the day, maybe because I got tired playing with Chris yesterday. I got up from bed and went downstairs. Hmm, the house is very quiet at this time because they’re all out doing their own businesses. I’m not used of the quietness so I decided that after I have my breakfast, I will go out and have some walk. I went to the kitchen to have my breakfast and suddenly……

“Oh!” then I suddenly bumped onto something, no! It’s someone. I’m just small, only 5’3 in height so I bumped on his chest. Wait, I thought I was just alone in this house? I looked up only to see an angelic face. A medium built guy with a round face and a very round eyes. He is wearing a black hoodies paired with jeans. He is so cute. He looks good with jeans and hoodies, I said to myself. I notice that he is also flustered and slightly got out of balance. Our eyes locked on each other.

“Who are you?” We almost said in sync pointing at each other.

“Hanguk mal hal su isseo? Oh Wait, wait. A-are you a foreigner?” He said.

 “Yes I am. I'm from the Philippines. But wait who are you?” I said while still on the state of shock.

 And before he get to answer me, we heard a car’s honk outside.

“It must be samchon.” We again said in sync that’s why we looked at each other because of surprised. He also said samchon? Then after a few seconds, we saw samchon entering the house.

 “Ohh, I guess you have met each other already.” Samchon said to us.

“Annyong haseyo.” We said. “Actually, not yet samchon. Who is she by the way?” The guy asked.

“Is that so? Oh, by the way Kyungsoo, this is Kendra, niece of your Aunt Celine, and she is from the Philippines.” Samchon said, referring to me. “And Kendra, this is Kyungsoo, my nephew, son of my sister.” After that, he made a slight bow to me and said “Mannaseo bangawoyo Kendra.” Then give me a smile. This guy is so lovable and very friendly. “Nado Kyungsoo.” I also said with a smile.

 “Wow, you know how to speak Korean? I’m impressed.” He said.

“Naaah, just a little. Good thing that you also know how to speak English.” I said.

“Yah, because I have to.” He simply said.

After we have our formal introduction to each other, I proceeded to the kitchen and have my breakfast. After I had my breakfast I went upstairs to take a bath because I want to take a walk outside. I tied my hair in a messy bun, put on my rectangular glasses then I decided to wear my skinny jeans and my yellow hoodies and a pair of black boots because it’s cold outside. When I went downstairs I saw samchon and Kyungsoo talking about something when they noticed me.

“Kendra, are you going out?” Samchon asked.

“Yes samchon, I want to take a walk outside.” I answered him with a smile.

“Is that so? Kyungsoo-yah” He called Kyungsoo.  “Why don’t you come with her? Join her on her walk, but remember to be more careful ok?” He said.

“No-no Samchon, I’m fine. I can go alone.” I said with a shy tone.

“Yes, I could accompany her uncle.” Kyungsoo immediately said. “And yes I will be careful. Thanks uncle.” He added.

“Actually you don’t have to.” I said to Kyungsoo.

“But I want to.” He said.

“Hahaha! Okay, you two. Go now, take care of yourselves. Kyungsoo-yah, hide yourself very well.” Samchon said to us while laughing.

“Yes samchon. I will.” He responded to Samchon, and then he turned to me “So let’s go Kendra?”

“O-ok. Let’s go.” I said.

I was confused. Why do Kyungsoo have to hide himself? From where? Is he a criminal? But he doesn’t even look like one. He actually have an angelic and cute face from my own opinion.

We are still walking down the street, a few meters away from the house, silent and no one is even bothering to glance at each other. I started feeling fidgety. He didn’t say a word and neither did I. Both unsure on what to say but later on I decided to break the ice and decided to ask what has been bothering me a while ago.

“Hey” I called for his attention. He then turned to me wearing his popped eyes. I smiled secretly because he looks so innocent. “S-sorry to ask but, I’m just curious about what samchon remind us earlier.” I paused for a couple of second. He just waits for my actual question with a kinda puzzled look and still with widened eyes. He’s cute when he looks flustered, I thought. “Why do you have to hide yourself from the people? Are you anti-social or something?” I added.

I noticed that he began to look shocked for a while, but then he smile. “So samchon, didn’t tell you already.” He replied. It wasn’t a question.

I was puzzled. Tell me about what? That didn’t voice out though. “Tell me about what Kyungsoo?” Finally.

He cleared his throat then leaned his head towards me. “Because I’m an Idol. And it might cause a lot of trouble for us if I didn’t hide myself” He said.

“Oh an Idol. See.” Nod and nod. But… “Wait, what? An Idol?” I stated in shocked.

He nods to acknowledge my response. “Mmm hmh. Yeah. I’m the main vocal of the boyband named EXO. We’re under SM ent.” He answered me in a soft tone and then signals me to hushed.

“What? EXO? What’s that? I don’t know nothing about EXO. I don’t know them. I don’t know you.” Then he suddenly covered my mouth with his hand.“Tsss. I told you to be quiet!” He hissed. “Some people might hear you. Arashii?” He added. I just nodded and put my hands up to signal that I give up. Then he immediately takes his hand off my mouth. “O-okay, I’m sorry, but did you just debut?” I whispered to him then he laughs. “Aniyo, we debuted in 2012.”

“2012? I see. So, it’s been two years since you debuted?” I asked. “Ne.” He simply said. But that was long ago. I was thinking, how come I didn’t know them if they debuted since 2012? Oh, well. Maybe they’re not that popular as Suju, SNSD, and Shinee. And also I’ve been busy on my studies this past few years because of my crucial schedules and have a lot of projects to do, so I didn’t have time to update my awareness about Kpop industries. But even though I don’t know them I still have this very good feeling that there’s a popular person and a Kpop celebrity walking right here beside me right now. It makes me giggle secretly.

“Kyungsoo, Are you close with your seniors like SNSD, suju or shinee?” I asked with curiosity thinking that he might make a way for me to meet my Idols somehow.

“With our seniors?” He paused for a while before answering me, as if examining me why am I asking this question but then later on he finally answered. “Yes, pretty close, but not that much but I’m very close with Ryeowook hyung and Hyunsik of BtoB. Why did you ask?” He asked back. “A-ahhm, nothing. I’m just curious. Hehe”

 “By the way, do you wanna try some famous street foods here in Korea?” He suggested in a snap wearing a very large smile showing his very pretty set of teeth. I don’t know why, but seeing his beautiful smile makes me feel strange. His smile was very contagious but the butterflies on my stomach wouldn’t stop fluttered and it makes me feel uneasy. What’s this? My heart is pounding too fast. But before I got out of my senses I manage to answer him. “Y-yah. Ofcourse, I’d love to. Where?” I also answered with a smile.
