Hey Girl: 09

Chap 9 (when everything makes sense)

The next morning I woke up from my beauty sleep. Actually no, I practically jerked up from bed because my alarm went off at 7 sharp - I thought I was late for school. But then later I found out that it was a weekend and that I am free from school stress for the day. Thus, I decided to continue sleeping for another hour. Putting my head back on my fluffy pillow, I started to toss and turn. The conversation I had with oppa replayed in my head.

“I seriously love her and she didn’t even know it,” those were his last words after slowly letting everything out, which marks the ending of our conversation last night.

‘So who is Andee? How does she look like?’ the curious me thought.

I turned to my left then to my right. I couldn’t stand the restlessness; I sat up straight on the bed staring at my laptop screen on my study table.

“Yah! Jiyul-ah are you awake yet?” Jaejoong oppa’s voice was heard after he knocked twice on my bedroom door.

“Neh. What is it oppa?”

“I’m making breakfast. Let’s eat together. Palli, come down.”

“Neh. Arraseo. Give me 10 minutes.” With that reply, I dashed all the way to my bathroom.

Back in Chungnam, I never actually bothered freshening up before heading for breakfast. But it’s different here, especially living with oppa’s friends. I have to portray a good impression. Ahhh! The pressure. Tell me about it. I put on my sweatpants and a random tee. Then tied up my hair neatly.

Making my way down the stairs, I saw Yoochun sunbae scribbling in his black notebook with toast and jet black coffee in front of him, Yunho sunbae reading the papers with a NEW mug filled with juice and Jaejoong oppa serving scramble eggs that he just cooked on a fresh new plate, I suppose was meant was me.

“Here you go.” Oppa handed me the plate with scramble eggs and toast.

Before I could even put my heavy butt in the seat, a hand stretched right into my face.

“Yah! Can’t you go stretch somewhere else?” I aggressively pushed Yunho sunbae’s hand away from my face.

But he did it again, “10 bucks! Where is it?” His eyes still focused on his papers.

‘Gosh! Will he just stop it? It’s just a stupid mug which I can get for 2 bucks at the departmental store. Bugger!’ I thought to myself.

“later!” I answered him short but still unable to take my seat.

“You better pay up now!” His hands moved nearer to my face.

Feeling vexed, I hit the papers in his hand and ran upstairs to get the money, mumbling away under my breath.

‘Stupid mug. Stupid Yunho. Gentleman, my ass. Stupid girls for going crazy over a stuck up jerk. Pest.’

With the 10 dollars in my hand I slammed it onto the table, “Here! Those girls in school must be stupid to go crazy over you.”

Jaejoong oppa and Yoochun sunbae was giving me the ‘oh-you-did-not-just-said-that’ look. But I don’t care. I was frustrated. He just ruined my day by messing with my emotions.

“Oh oppa, I’m not hungry. I’m going out for a run now.” I said as I drank my glass of milk and made my way out of the house. I could not stand looking at yunho’s face the next minute. I needed to get out of there.

I jogged my way down the street, thinking to myself.

Omo! I just said those girls were stupid for going crazy over him. Among those girls, I’m one of them. That means I’m stupid just like them. Ok this is seriously bad.

I breathed hard.

I am not stupid. I was just deceived by his charming looks, that’s all. Of all the good-looking man in the world that includes Oppa and Yoochun sunbae, his personality stinks like the sewer down the road.

I breathed in hard again. Then, I slowed down when I saw a familiar face near the park.

“Maya-shi! What are you doing here?”

“Hey, Jiyul! Fancy meeting you. I had just finished my run. What are you doing here?”

“Running. Heh. Wanna grab something to drink?”

“Hee. Its funny how I keep getting in your way when you’re running. Sure, Let’s go.”

We stopped at a nearby store and bought our drinks.

“So, you live nearby?” I asked.

“Neh. About 2 km away I think.”

“You mean you ran all the way? Great stamina you got there.” She was flustered.

“It was nothing. I used to run everyday in London.” I nodded my head acknowledging her.

Just then my phone rang,

“Yobuseyo.”

“YAH! Where are you?” Jaejoong oppa was on the other line.

“Jiyul-ah! Gwenchanha?” Yoochun sunbae’s voice came. He must have taken the phone from oppa.

“Yah! Give it back!” I heard Jaejoong oppa’s voice. I guess they were playing tug-o-war with the phone.

“Oppa! I’m not a small girl anymore. I know how to take care of myself. Don’t worry about me. ”

“Jiyul-ah.”

“I’ll be back in an hour.” With that I hung up the phone.

“Your brother? Did anything happen at home?”

“Neh. Ani. Just a little problem. Nothing too serious. Sorry about that.”

Maya smiled. Seriously, she had the sweetest smile. Her hair was cut short with straight neat bangs covering her forehead. She was wearing a cute tee, black track pants and running shoes. I noticed that she has this natural glow in her.

“Lets have a sit there and we can talk till we get tired.” I suggested.

We were having a real conversation. Yes, I was really making a conversation with a new friend. Oh boy, do I felt elated. This is like my first time making a real friend. Forget about Junsu and Changmin. I don’t even think they considered me as their friend. After talking for about a quarter to an hour, I saw 3 figures running towards our direction. There were 2 males and a female.

'Speak of the devil.' I thought. I straightaway stood up and waved my hands to them

“Annyeong Junsu-shi, Changmin-shi.” I greeted them and then smiled at the girl running with them.

“Oh Jiyul-shi. Annyeong.” They stopped in their tracks and greeted me back. The girl running with them doesn’t look that happy.

“Oh yes. This is Maya, my friend.” I introduced her.

“And this is my Nuna, Andee.” Junsu replied.

Andee hit his arm, ‘What did I say about calling me Nuna?’ she whispered to him.

‘Andee? Ok that name just ring a bell.’

“Annyeong haseyo Andee-shi” both Maya and me greeted her in unison.

She acknowledged us by nodding her head.

“I guess, we’ll make our way first. See you around in school.” Junsu said and they quickly ran off.

I was too focused on Andee that I didn’t notice someone close-by staring at the running figure without even blinking for a second.

'was that the Andee that oppa mentioned last night?'




A/N: Yay! Another update. Why? Because mum promised that I could use the cable but broke the promise in the end cause she was seriously engrossed in the online game she was playing. Howells! Another update doesn’t hurt right? Listening to TVXQ – Beautiful You on repeat was even better. It helped soothes my emotions. For this chapter, I wrote it out of scratch. So it kinda looks limpy and sounds lame. I apologize for that. Oh yes, if you dislike stories with dialogues please acknowledge me cause I seriously want to constantly improve myself. Then, I can promise to write a better chap next time round. Okthanksbye.
