"Kill me please"
Hendery looks up at me with a tilted head and smiles. I just arrived at a cafe where we plan on studying for an English literature exam. Last night I hardly slept since I had to think about yesterday's disaster.
"You look tired", he hands me his cup of iced americano. I take a sip of it and sit down.
"How was your last assignment ?"
Hendery smiles shyly and hands me his exam. We were supposed to write an essay on women in literature. I'm surprised by his score. 91 out of 100. Quite impressive.
"Not as stupid as I thought", I mumble in English. Hendery looks up at me giving me a nasty look. A smile forms on my face due to his cuteness.
"Stop smiling it's distracting", he grabs his essay back and takes a sip of his americano. Not only did he give me a compliment but it was in English too. His English has this cuteness to in. It's deep but the way he pronounces things is really cute.
"Let's start"
Despite my eagerness to start we don't actually do so. First we talk about our lives back in our hometown then we look at the random people walking in and out of the cafe and now we're just kind of talking or flirting. However you want to see it.
I assemble all my binders and work sheet and take what's left of his americano. We both stand up as I say "I don't think this is going to work out"
"Obviously you talk a lot", he teases grabbing his bag. As a response to his comment I give him a light push. Unfortunately he's right it's my fault. I tend to get distracted easily and that's probably why I normally don't study with others.
We both leave the cafe and step into the humid air. "Do you have anything planned for the rest of the day?", I ask looking at my watch. Hendery and I met around 9 am and it's 2 pm.
"Not really why?", he tilts his head with a smile growing on his well defined face. A rain drop runs down his face and soon there are many more. I grab his hand and run down the pavement. His deep laugh behind me is all I hear until it suddenly thunders.
Our clothes are soaked and we are one of the only people on the street. I let go of Hendery's hand laughing from one ear to another. Fetching air is my top priority at the moment and us looking at each other and laughing more and more doesn't make it better.
"Out of breath?"
"Very"
It's raining cats and dogs and now I'm able to see lightning from a certain distance. I point at the white House some streets ahead. He gets it immediately and grabs my hand again. We're sprinting down the street with our bags until we finally make it to my porch. I fish my keys from my bag and open the door to be hit by an amazing smell.
Jo comes running down the stairs with a some towels in her hand. She halts when her gaze lands on Hendery. Her eyes go wide and she clears her throat. Thirsty little bitch
"I was worried when I heard the storm so I stayed in your room with towels in my hand. Welcome back Seonghwa made lunch", she hands us the towels and leaves.
After we take off our shoes I lead my visitor to the kitchen where Megumi, Seonghwa and Jo are eating. They lift their heads up in curiosity when they see Hendery. Them acting like they've never seen a human being makes me roll my eyes.
"Guys this is Hendery. Please introduce yourself to him while I go change"
I leave into my room and put on my oversized gray sweatshirt and gray shorts. Then I proceed to take off my makeup and slip into my slippers. Then I grab some clothes for Hendery. My hair is in a high ponytail that shapes my face well. When done with changing I walk into the kitchen grabbing a spoon and kimchi jjigae.
"Here are some clothes you can change in them," I hand the clothes over and direct him to my room. Back in the kitchen I dig into my stew with rice.
"He is cute," jo whispers across the table in Korean. Megumi laughs while nodding. However, Seonghwa just rolls his eyes at the two girls.
"He's not just cute but also really smart. Hendery speaks three languages including English"
"Nice. Seonghwa's English is shit" says Jo in Korean for him to hear. We all crack up well except for the insulted boy.
"Your Korean is shit," he replies in English. So far I've only heard him speaking English twice with every time I'm more surprised since his pronunciation is quite good. Megumi places a kiss on his cheek and ruffles his hair. My smile drops but luckily Hendery walks into the room.
The clothes I gave him fit him perfectly. They used to be my brothers before 'she' left us. There's a reason why I don't want to call her my mother. It went from mommy to mom to my mother and now to her/ she. After she left and I cried myself to sleep I told myself that that woman can't be my mother.
My mother would never hit me or scare me. She would never abandon her kids and separate them later nor would she make me hate and miss her. Hendery takes a seat next to me looking into my eyes.
"You okay?"
"Yeah"
