We went to the mall, I sigh, this is going to be a long day.
We walk and walk and walk.
We entered a certain gift shop. The shop was not that full, there were about 4 person."Oh lookeu! Lookeu!! Kiyokiyo" I have been with her for how many years now, and I have learned that 'kiyokiyo' means cute.
"Here!" She handed me one of the bracelets, black and blue are the colors of the bracelet and there is a pendant dangling, it was number 3. She picked the black and red with a pendant 13.
"Hyung, my birthday is 9 but my favorite number is 13." She told me.
"And hyung's birthday is 13, but hyung's favorite number is 3. So I choose to get our favorite number than our birthday number." I just hum in reply, what do you want me to reply anyway?
"We should buy this! So we have matching pair." She chimed and pulled me to the counter
"We should pay for our own" she said and when she met the counter guy, I assume they are friends because they have been talking for how many minutes now.
"Hyung, Jinwoo told Jae that they can put name on this, we should put our initials!!" She exclaimed excitedly.
The counter guy hand me a piece of paper and a pen. She wrote her initials, and I wrote mine. P.J.M.
After waiting for how many minutes, we left the store. I curiously asked her "Are you friends with the guy there?" She hummed in response.
"For how long?" I looked at her as she rummage at our purchased good, and she handed me my bracelet, and I uttered a small thank you."Just now, this is the first time I met him" This girl is friendly with every person she meets. And I do know she doesn't like me the way I like her. Jae Hee's 'I Love You' and my 'I Love You' are probably a different variety.
"Hyung! I want to buy some of that!" I glanced over what she was pointing at.
"You mean crepe?" She shouted "Yes!" And ran into it.
But when she was about to order she gaze at me and stared with pleading eyes. I walked over her and look what was wrong, she showed me her money and I looked at the price, I sigh and ask
"What do you want?" She looked at me then she looked over the guy."Izz there blueberry?" The guy smiled brightly at her.
"Yes, my lady" I looked at the guy's nametag, it reads as Hobie.
"One order of blueberry and strawberry" I spoke, and he said we have to wait. I was watching Jae, and she was watching the guy as he do his job.
When our order came, we thank him and we started to walk away from the stall.
We walk outside the mall. We walk and walk, until our feet leads us to an empty basketball court. We sat on bleachers and stared at the emptiness of the court."Bleeehh!!" After I heard that I averted my eyes from the court to her.
"What the hell is wrong now?"
"Izz not good! Don't like it!" I sighed and offered her my own food
"Try this" She took a bite, after she chewed it, she took the whole strawberry crepe and started to eat from it.
I sighed again, and ate the blueberry. It's not that bad."Izz good?" I just uttered a soft 'yeah' and continue to eat. And my mind started to wander off.
I once again stared at Jae Hee, now that I think about it. Before I knew it, Jae Hee had gotten this close to me, I mean yeah I we consider each other as Bestfriends, but Im feeling a little bit off, like more than crush, and I felt like she's feeling that way too. But even so I'm afraid to do anything in case I'm misunderstanding this, so now I've been feeling that way for more than days now.
"Jae Hee." I trailed off, she looked at me with confuse eyes. "Hmm? Waeyo?"
"Give me the bracelet we bought for a sec" I spoke demandingly
"Hyung, You mean the one I have a name on??"
"Mm-hmm let's exchange bracelets."
"But! That one's yours, hyung! That means you'll get two?!"
"I'm going to keep yours and You're going to keep mine."
"Jinjja Hyung? But whyyy~? Izz it because we're bestfriends?"
"Make sense and also because we're partners in crime"
"Rather than partners in crime, this actually feels like a cheesy thing that Rinnie told me, they exchange things because they are lovers." My eyes widen on what she said
"Do you even know what lovers mean?"
"A little?"
"Jae Hee.." she looked straight to my eyes. "You have some berry stuck here"Don't do it. My mind spoke. But my action contradicts it.
I reach out to touch her face.
"Huh? Where?" She ask.
Pull back.
I want to hold her tight.
Don't hope, dude.My thumb caress her soft lips. "It's not comming off"
You don't like her, right?
I Actually Like her."Hyung, your hand feels warm" and she leaned on my touch.
I leaned closer to her, ghosting my lips on her lips, she looked at me with confusion.
Hey Jae?
Then I captured her soft lips with my lips.
How far will you allow me to go?
When I let her go. I leaned my forehead to hers. She still looked confuse. I held both of her cheeks and pulled them apart.
"Why aren't you running away, idiot?!" And she whimpered
"I dunno, maybe because I've started thinking that everything is okay when I am with you, hyung." I pulled her in a hug, a tight one.
"Hey hyung? What do you call that?"
"A kiss."
"Ohh! I thought it's called Mouth-to-Mouth touch"
"Then from now on, lets call that Mouth-to-Mouth touch."
"Okay!!!!" She exclaimed.
After several seconds she spoke again.
"Hyung! Let Jae Hee touch your mouth with her mouth!" And I uttered a quick 'no' and shook my head.
"But why~~?" She pouted her lips
"The way you said it, it's weird." I explained
"Then I'll just ask someone tomorrow at school" I glared at her
"Don't you dare do that to someone else other than me. You got that?"
"But whyy~~?"
"Because I said so." I bend down to her eye level, and she looked at me again with mystifying eyes
"So do you still want to Mouth-to-Mou--" and she quickly obtain my lips with hers. I smiled on the kiss.
After the kiss. She smiled sheepishly at me.
"I dunno why I feel happy about the Mouth-to-Mouth touch" and she giggled
"From now on I'll call you Aegi or Baby" I told her. "And you'll call me oppa from now on."
She looked at me in disbelief. "No!!! I'll let you call me what ever you want, but I won't change the hyung"
"Cool, but I still want to be called oppa, you know?"
She glared at me "Hyung izz enough."
"Okay, okay. Hyung is Sorry"
