Sinner

Chapter 8

*Korean*

"How did you get so dark," Soyoung asks me curiously.

What? What the fuck?! How did I get here?

"I was born like this," I say, making her look at me like an alien.

"Are you sick?" She asks me, I look down and sigh.

"No, having dark skin isn't a disease," I answer.

"Then why is it also shown tv that dark people are sick," she says.

Welp! That's great.

"That's because Korea doesn't have many black people here and the minority groups scare them," I say.

She nods her head, "oh okay, let's cut these vegetables," she says.

"Alright," I responded.

*Korean*

After two giant piles of vegetable peels and a giant plate of cut-up vegetables. Sidney and Hendery set up the dining table. While Soyoung grandmother prepares the broth, tofu, and meat.

I got to learn a lot about Soyoung, like that her favorite idol is Jennie because of her style. She wants to be a kpop idol or their stylist. Also that she loves to skate like Sidney and me.

"It's time to eat," her grandmother says as I carry the pot full of soup base and Soyoung brings the palates full of vegetables. Her grandma brought the other plates.

"Let's do a little prayer before we start, Joycle would you like to do the prayer," she asks me.

"Um sure," I say before doing the prayer.

After I did the prayer and we ate, Soyoung took Sidney, Hendery, and me to a garden.

"My grandpa used to breed four-leaf clovers," she says, surprising Hendery and me.

Sooo, I don't need to send that text. Also, how did we find someone like this?

*English*

"How did you do that?" Hendery asks as I shrug.

"She's the Sanji of our group," Sidney says, giving me whiplash on how fast my head turns towards her.

"I'm not a pervert," I say, stepping back while holding out my hand and shaking my head.

"No! I said that you're like Sanji because you always find a way," Sidney says as she goes on her tippy toes to pat my head. "so soft and fluffy," she drools as she touches my curly space buns.

"How much longer do we have to walk," Hendery whines as an additive at a field full of clovers.

*Korean*

"Here," Soyoung says after bending down and taking the four-leaf clover. She holds out the clover and Sidney takes the clover and puts it in my hair.

*English*

"Why are you giving me this," I ask as Sidney poorly communicates.

"You need some more luck," she says, making my jaw unhinged and a large gasp escape my mouth. My skin tingles and my heart raced out of my chest.

"You're the one that broke the mirror," I say, making her innocently chuckle.

"Yeah, that's why I'm getting one for myself. You dumb-dumb," she giggles out.

She....makes me speechless.

"Oh shoot!" Hendery shouts, we look at him.

"What," I ask.

"We have to get back home like right now, my manager is wondering where I am," he says, making us widen our eyes.

"Alright," I say as Sidney tells Soyoung bye and we run to the car.

"Joy, did you find the best route," Hendery asks.

"Yeah," I say as I speed to SM, making sure to not get into an accident.

After an hour and thirty minutes of panic, we reached SM. An angry manager awaits us and I pray for Hendery. Hendery opens the door and the manager pulls him out of the car.

A feeling that I usually suppress awakens in me and when I watch Hendery gets yelled at by his manager.

*Korean*

"Do we have a problem here?" I ask the manager?

"Where did you take Hendery?" he asks me with smoke coming out of his ears.

"We went to the countryside to get some flowers, we had a good lunch," I answered.

"Why didn't you tell me," his manager asks me.

"He is an adult and it's his break," he says.

"I-I...um you two are going to have to run 5 laps along the Han river at 5 am tomorrow as a punishment," his manager says.

"What?!" Hendery and I shout.

"Yup both of you," his manager says.

"Fine, Hendery Oppa, let's go," I say as I drag Hendery to my car.

(yuck I hate typing that...Oppa, it makes me feel like a koreaboo)
