Chapter 48: Calm Down

Reina stared silently as the scene unfolded from the living room.

Had she overreacted?

Well, maybe she did, but what's done was done all in all.

She knew something was quite off from the moment the familiar scent had hit her nostrils.

She just didn't think that they were harsh enough to try and do something to her group mates as well.

So, she hurriedly ate the granola bar and got up, throwing on a surpreme hat with some  random shoes, and walked out of the apartment.

Kendrick watched as she exited the house and sighed.

He then got all of the burritos and silently began throwing them all away.

Caleb followed suit, and soon after, everyone was either throwing the food away, or cooking new food instead.

Kendrick continued to stare at the door in disappointment, sighing subconsciously at the fact that his best friend stormed off without a word.

Caleb then came and rubbed the small of his comfortingly, causing the younger to smile sadly at him.

Reina walked aimlessly through the park, looking up at the blue canvas complemented by the white splatters.

Her gucci slides slowly inched up from the sidewalk, before being placed back down on the concrete as she trotted mindlessly around Seoul.

She stared silently at the lake as she passed it, before stopping and walking closer to it.

She stared into the lake, looking at a person she had came to be over the past couple of months.

Someone that she felt she connected better to, than who she was previously.

Yet, it felt as if, not really much had changed.

She still felt the same, and although she says that she's getting better, there was always a time where it felt all the same.

She looked beside her and saw a little boy, whose head reached to the middle of her thigh, if they were to stand straight.

"Are you done frowning at yourself noona?" the little boy asked, as he stared at her reflection, his copper colored irises dimly shining.

She honestly felt shocked that he had spoken to her, for she knew the only time kids talked to strangers, were when they couldn't find their parents in public places.

"I'm not frowning..."she muttered, pouting slightly at how sly and mischievous the boy's smile got once she answered.

"It sure looked like frowning to me. And although I may be a little boy, I'm always happy to listen if you need to let it all out."

He said, his smile suddenly turning genuine, as his gums were displayed, and his eyes suddenly went on temporary leave for a few seconds.

Reina couldn't help, but subconsciously smile as well.

"Well, I'm Reina Gonzalez. And I'm an idol." She said, looking back at herself, watching as her black with emerald tips fell beside her face.

"Well Reina the idol, my name is Elijah and I'm not from here." He replied, smile slowly falling from his beautiful face as he spoke.

"Well Eli, where exactly are you from?"

"I'm from England, but mom and I moved here because she got a new job." He said, before shuddering at the memory.

The two then sat down by a tree, and talked for what seemed like hours about why frowns were on their faces.

Apparently Elijah is a natural born genius, from learning multiple languages in a matter of days, to solving Mathematician work occasionally.

And because of this, he gets teased from his peers. Well that and the fact that his eyes looks completely different from everyone else's.

Elijah was very open with his story and what he spoke about, and for a 9 year old, he was so well spoken.

Reina, however, was very hesitant with opening up with all that happened over the past few days.

But when she did, it was like a boulder was suddenly lifted off of her load, and she began to feel lighter.

She found comfort in talking with Elijah, although he was nine, and she could tell that he was slowly growing fond of her two.

As they were laying under the shade provided by the tree, they stared at the sky, jokingly guessing cloud shapes to pass time, for neither of them wanted to leave.

Suddenly, as Reina's right arm was outstretched, pointing at the cloud that looked like a smiley face, she heard the all too familiar shutter.

She lifted her head a bit, looking around to see if anyone had their cameras out around her, and sighed when she saw nothing.

She slowly lifted Elijah's head from her arm, watching as confusion suddenly spreaded like wildfire over his face.

"Eli...sweetheart. I have to leave." She hesitantly said, and smiled sadly as she saw his face visibly dimmed.

"Will you come the same time tomorrow? And please bring Felix with you." He pleaded, and she nodded to his request.

"Simcheng Park, by the lake, three o'clock sharp, and don't be late!" He sighed, as he watched her smile and wave, walking away from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, I know, I know. I just told you guys about slow updates.

But I realllllllllly wanted to get this chapter out.

I love Elijah so much. And he plays quite an important role for the next few chapters.

Anyways, back to being boring and studying.

Lots of Love,
~Reina (레이나)
