Troublemakers

Chapter 9

Jiwon's POV

"No, try this tone." I looked up at Hanbin as he took the mouse from my hand, looking at the computer screen in front of us.
I must admit, he looked cute when he had this concentrating look.

I kept watching as he was fixing things to his liking in the program, trusting he'll probably do a good job.

Since I started hanging with Hanbin, if you can call it like this, I got to know about his passion for music and composing. And he was really good, he had a bit more experience than I did.

I could notice his smile as I pressed a kiss on his cheek while he was busy with fixing the tunes. He really is cute when he smiles.

It's weird.

Thinking about Hanbin in such a way is weird. I never thought I would get close to him like this, and I don't understand it. But I'm actually having fun. I really do look forward to meeting him.

"Here," he said as he finished, playing the track again. It sounded much better. I've been stuck on this damn track for a week now, and he simply fixed it.

"You're a genius!" I said happily, hugging him.

He chuckled. "I wouldn't say that. It's all your work."

"You fixed it. Give yourself a bit of credit." I rolled my eyes but still smiled. It definitely sounded better.

I pressed another kiss on his cheek, not letting go of him. I felt him wrapping his arm around me, holding me a bit closer. I didn't expect it, but I didn't mind.

"You really are something..." He mumbled amused.

I chuckled before standing up from my chair, making him let go.

"Let's eat? My mom would be mad at us if we delay further." she already called us to eat 10 minutes ago.

"My mom waits until I'll starve since she's given up on calling me." He stood up as well, "I'm almost always with earphones or 'just five more minutes mom' for hours."

I chuckled. "That's a bad habit."

"Maybe. But finishing tracks is easier without being bothered every five minutes."

"True. Well, I hope you'd like the food."

It was the first time Hanbin came to my place. His reaction amused me at first when he saw where I was living, saying he didn't expect that.
I can't say I blame him, I don't think he knew I come from a family with a status similar to his. Well, his 'lovely' group of friends picks up on us a lot.

But Hanbin was really polite to my mom and even I was surprised by his manners. It really felt like I've known his twin brother all this time and only now I'm finding out who Hanbin really is.

"Finally! I was about to go and drag you out of the room." my mom said as we walked inside the dining room.

"Sorry, Hanbin was just helping me." I apologized.

"Well, you two sit down and eat. You must be hungry." We both nodded and sat down in front of each other before starting to eat.

"Wow, it's really good!" Hanbin said as he ate, smiling at my mom.

"That's because the only thing you eat is Pringles." I noted.

"Hey, Pringles is basically eating potatoes." Hanbin protested.

My mom chuckled. "Eat as much as you want, don't be shy."

I couldn't help but smile amused about that. Is that really the Kim Hanbin I know for 4 years already?
Apparently, it was. Only a side of his I've never seen.
He told me he had a history of breakups and rejections, and it must have been something really hard to make him be so mean in school.
