The One [Ryeowook story]

Shopping With Zhou Mi! [chapter 3]

After the little chopsticks incident, Ryeowook and I walked back to the dorms. But as we were walking back, my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller I.D. to make sure it wasn't Jake again. It was my mom.

"Hello?" I said into the speaker. I heard sniffling from the other line.

"Bailey? Is that y-you? W-where are y-you" She asked as she sobbed into the phone. Great. She's fake crying. She always fake cries when she wants me to do something or I don't talk to her.

"Yes, mom. It's me. You can stop fake crying now. I know it's all an act." I rolled my eyes.

"Bu-ut it's n-not an act!" She 'sobbed' into the phone. "I don't know wh-where you are! I just want my little sugar cake ba-aacckk!!!" A pained look found it's way to my face and I stopped in the middle of the street.

"Wh.... What? You haven't called me that since I was 6 years old... Why now?" I asked concerned. Ryeowook noticed I had stopped. He walked over to me, but didn't say anything.

"Because I want you back!" After that, I could hear her having a conversation in the background. "[Is it working?] [Yeah! I think she's buying it! I called her sugar cakes. I bet she's all emotional now! Haha...]" She chuckled to whoever she was talking to.

"So, what do you say, sweetie? Will you come home?" She sniffled.

"Go to hell!" I screamed into the phone and hung up. I tried to hold my tears back, but I couldn't. Why am I crying over this? Is it because I miss her? No. I can't miss her, after everything she's done to me and put me through. I let the tears stream down my face as Ryeowook pulled me back to the dorms. I was a little bit more calm when we got back to the dorms.

"What was that about? Are you ok?" Ryeowook asked, a panicked look on his face. Was he concerned for me? I nodded my head to say that I was ok, and that I would tell him later. I got out my food from the bag and just looked at it. Then I looked back up at Ryeowook. Then back down at the food.

"No forks!! I'm going to teach you how to use chopsticks! You'll be using them like a pro after this!" He picked up some chopsticks and handed them to me. "First off, you hold them like this!" He showed me how to hold them. Even THAT was a struggle for me to do. He kept trying to teach me how to use them, but I could NOT use them.

I slammed my head down on the table. "Noooooooooo!!!! It's to harrrddddd!!!! I can't do it!" I put the chopsticks down and just layed on the table. I heard him chuckle and then the sound of metal clinked on the table found its way to my ear. I perked up and saw a fork.

"YESSS!!!" I took the fork and dug into my food. I heard Ryeowook chuckle again, and looked at him.

"What?" I slurped more noodles into my mouth, wiping the excess liquid off of my face.

"Oh notthingg..." He waved me off and I shrugged, going back to my soup. "You will be learning how to use chopsticks later though."

"Ok! Now let me eat, I'm hungry."

Its been a few hours since Ryeowook and I have been home and the others still aren't here. We were just sitting here listening to the radio and SHINee's Dazzling Girl came on. I LOVE THIS SONG. I think you got the gist of that in the taxi on the way to the airport. I got a giant smile on my face and started to sing and dance.

"Ilovethissonnnggg!!!!" I shouted in one breath. Ryeowook smiled and turned it up so I could sing at the top of my lungs and dance. He just watched as I danced and sang. What is up with me and this song?! I was so into the song that I didn't even notice someone behind me. But as the song ended, I turned around to be face to face with someone. It was Sungmin. I screamed and jumped behind the couch, crouching behind Ryeowook, peeking over his shoulder with a face as bright red as a tomato.
