Chapter 7 -Blank Canvas

"The way to my college dorm was really dark. People on a high just loves walking down that path. Me being skinny and not tall enough got in trouble too much because they thought it would be funny to beat up a kid." Xiaojun started, as he stared on his cigarette pack.

"I tried fighting back but it always end up the same way." He said bitterly. "But then one day, some older acquaintance offered me a cigarette before I go home. I accepted out of courtesy I was never going to smoke it but I held it. I thought to myself that I should hold it while he can still see me. But I ended up forgetting about it and remembered when I entered the street to my dorm. It almost burnt my finger, good thing I threw it away on time." He said then bit his lower lip to hold his smile.

"Then those drunk gangsters came my way. All of them. I knew I was going to finally die that night, but I was wrong. They came to offer me cigarette because they saw that I was out. After that, they would ask me to drink for a bit and smoke. It saved my life." He told Minju who was amazed.

She recalled being bitten by mosquitoes at the cottage near the beach one time, but after smoking cigarettes, they all went away. But Xiaojun's story was way cooler.

"There you are. I knew you'd be here." Kriesia startled the two. "Why the hell are you alone in here? Are you guys getting along well?" She asked snatching Xiaojun's cigarette pack. She can smoke as long as Jungwoo's not around of course.

She lit the cigarette and started to smoke. "Have another one and join me." She offered her very best friend but she shook her head brutally. That's weird. That doesn't seem like Minju.

She worse that her when it comes to smoking. She smokes when she cooks, when she wash dishes, before and after eating. If she can smoke while sleeping she would.

"Go ahead." Xiaojun teased Minju but she only shook her head once again. There's no way she's going to smoke. She didn't want to do the penalty to their deal and date Xiaojun.

She wouldn't do it in a million years.

Yes, he seem kinda cool now. He seem to be more handsome than usual.

But Minju's pride would get hurt if she starts to date him.

"What's the matter?" He asked Minju before he started to chuckle. Minju hit him once or twice on the chest and started giggling too.

"No way in hell, satan." She muttered as she giggled.

Kriesia raised a brow at them. They seem to be closer than ever before.

Could it be,

They're starting to develop feelings for each other. Well, actually Xiaojun likes Minju and doesn't fail to show it.

But could it be,

Minju's starting to like Xiaojun?

"By the way Minju. Listen and don't talk till I'm finished talking." Kriesia told her smoking her cigarette before starting. What she's about to say seem like a very important announcement because she looks like she's thinking about it a lot.

"Me and Jungwoo are finally going to move abroad and work there." She said but Minju didn't speak. Not because she was asked to not talk until Kriesia is finished, but because she was truly speechless. "I know I never told you before making such a big decision, but this is for our future. You didn't think we'd stay together until we start our own families right?" Kriesia laughed to make it seem like the thought was funny.

But to Minju, she was her other half. The twin she never had.

"When?" It was all Minju could ask at the moment. She forgot the rest of her vocabulary all of a sudden.
