Classic 21

After that day, the boys never bothered me anymore probably they have gone back to Korea already.

I have one more week left it is just I do not know what to feel if I should be happy cause I miss working or should be sad because it will probably take me a while before I can go back here.

Same routine. Shopping. Strolling...

"Areum!"
"Ellie!"
"Konnichiwa!"

Speaking of the...
Wait...

What the hell are they doing? In front of my family?!!!
We are all communicating through our eyes. Acting innocent as if they aren't brewing something at the back of their minds.

They are starting to introduce theirselves to my family as my friend...

"... his soon to be boyfriend."

Jung Ilhoon?? What? The? Fuck? Note: We are currently at a public space. I don't know what's not clicking with these men.

Pabibo din itong mga kuya mo eh. Sige kayo kayo na lang mag usap.

And everyone left me here shocked.

What the fuck happened?? Why did Papa invited them for dinner later at our house? Our house!!!

I really don't know what's the charm of these men and how can they easily get along with anyone.

After all those happenings we decided to go home. I don't want us to attract more attention knowing these boys are following us.

I opted to go back to the hotel where I am staying first before heading home. So Ilhoon insisted that he will drive me and guess what? He easily persuaded my family.

Thanks to his Japanese knowledge? I guess? Now, here I am stuck with him.

Or maybe I also want this. No.

My mind still debating wether to talk to him or not. I mean we haven't had a proper conversation after what happened before. Then he suddenly pull over somewhere near the hotel.

"Areum."

I tried to avoid looking at him. I tried looking somewhere, anywhere is fine but not at his face. I might do or say something stupid that I might regret later on.

"Hmm"
"Can I explain myself this time?"
"Go on."
"I-I'm really sorry for what happened last time. For not hearing you out. I just knew it wasn't your fault..."
"It is. I was in charge and besides you have a point. There's nothing to apologize..."
"Areum I shouldn't have done that."
"It's okay. I'm fine... But Ilhoon-ssi about earlier I just hope you take back what you have said to my family. I don't want them to get false hope..."
"I wouldn't..."
"Why??"
"Why would I?"
"Ilhoon-ssi."
"Now that I have understand your side. Please l want to prove it with you and to your family that I'm better than him. I can..."
"Ilhoon-ssi..."
"Get inside. It is getting late. See you later."

I can't even properly think this time. Can't even foresee where is this going but one thing is for sure you are much better than him. You already prove that to me. But the problem is not you. It is about me. I am afraid to take the risk. I am afraid to bring myself into you deeper than I thought because at the end you might leave me as well and I am quite aware of it.

I need a breather before going home. Things aren't really going easy for me huh? It is clear to me that there is something that I am afraid to confirm with myself knowing that it will probably breaks me again.

It took me awhile to reach home. Surprisingly they arrived earlier than me. Here they are enjoying theirselves tonight while I am here confused of what can possibly happen.
