"What's wrong?" He repeated his question. He then gave me a packet of tissue. I accepted it and used it to wipe away my tears. "Nothing." I looked away. He spoke again. "Don't lie." This time in English.
He suddenly knelt down in front of me, he touched my chin making me face him.
Once I did, I couldn’t help but just cry more.
"Please don't cry." His almond eyes was staring straight at me, touching my cheek. His simple words can make my heart melt. He wiped away my tears with his thumb. I gave him a small smile.
He smiled back, He then sat back down beside me. "So what's wrong? Did Jaebum bully you?" He let out a small chuckle. "No, I just regret making this decision 3 years ago so I'm just upset.” I replied. He chuckled once again. "3 years ago? What was your decision? dating me?" He joked. "... No.." My voice was almost inaudible.
"Nichkhun?" I looked at him. "Hmm?"
"Never mind." I chickened out. "Your still the only one that calls me Nichkhun." I slightly smiled. " Don't change that habit." I heard him say. He then got up from the bench. "I'm going back to the cafe now. Don't cry anymore or you won't look pretty." He smiled. I returned back the smile. "Thanks."
He then walked away. I sighed to myself. His small actions can make my heart skip a beat. But his heart does not belong to me anymore. It belongs to Sohee.
Sighing, I stayed in the same position for 15 minutes.
I decided to walk back to the café. As I entered, my gaze was set on the table beside the window at the other side of the café.
Nichkhun saw me, He gave me a smile. I returned back a small smile. I then walked up to the counter to order a refreshing drink.
As I was waiting for my takeaway , Jaebum stood beside me. “Sorry.” He apologized in English. “For what?” I questioned as I turned to face him.
“Earlier on.” We were conversing in English. I gave him an assuring smile. “It wasn’t your fault. I’ve always had been the soft one.” I chuckled. He gave me a brotherly hug. “Well, I’m going to go back home now. I’m going to crash in early today since tomorrow is the first day of school.”
“Usual time and place?” He asked. I nodded. “8am in front of my apartment.” I smiled. For the past 3 years, Me and Jaebum had always went to school together. It was walking then cycling and now it was driving. Jaebum would drive me to school as it was the same way. He lived only a few minutes away from me.
“Well, I’ll see you tomorrow then.” I smiled. “Okay, See ya’ .” I then took my Mango fruit passion and turned to the exit.
Once again, I walked past Nichkhun’s table. He gave me a small nod. I did the same then left.
I hailed a taxi once I stepped out of the café.
I got back to my apartment a few minutes later. I was not surprised at all that my brother wasn’t home.
He has been busy taking over our family’s company here in Korea. While my parents moved to the states to handle the company over there.
Therefore the two us live together without our parents. That's why we moved to an apartment instead of living in that big house of our parents.
I loved our apartment as me and my brother designed it.
There was two master bedroom’s with it’s own bathrooms. Two guest rooms, Two other bathroom’s, A kitchen, Living room, Study room, Music room , Dance room and a gym.
We also refurnish our apartment every year. We give away the old furnishers to charity.
Last year I got to choose the concept and so last year’s concept for the apartment was pink. While this year, Oppa got to choose and he chose modern black and white. Oppa had always whined and complained about the pink apartment.
As I walked into my bedroom, I opened my wardrobe. I pressed the button at the side and my clothes starting moving to the left on the rack. I chose an outfit for tomorrow.
I chose a pair of navy skinny jeans with a pink T-shirt and a black waistcoat with white pumps.
I placed them aside, I then got into the shower once I was done preparing for the things for tomorrow.
I took my time as I was in no hurry.
I came out of the shower 30 minutes later, I sat down in front of the dressing table in my room. I began to dry my hair as I was , my phone went off. I checked the caller ID and it was Jaebum.
“What’s up?” I greeted him in English. “I’m going to my parents house for dinner at 7. They want you to come too.” He said, I looked at the clock and it was already 6pm. “Sure, since I was only planning to have cup noodles today.”
“No one to cook for my precious cousin?” He chuckled. “Oppa isn’t home and the Ahjumma doesn’t start working till tomorrow.” “ Besides, I’m feeling lazy today.” I added with a laugh.
“Haha, Well I’ll come collect you at half 6.” We then hung up. Jaebum also lived by himself at his apartment. Therefore once in a while he would go back to his parent’s home which is my auntie and uncle for dinner. That’s if they are in the country. Both our parents are busy people. We hardly see them.
Sighing, I chose a casual outfit. Which was white skinny jeans and a oversized pink hoodie. My hair was still damp from my shower.
I didn’t put any makeup on as it was only dinner at auntie and uncle’s.
After another 15 minutes, Jaebum called me informing me he was downstairs.
I grabbed my bag then left my apartment. I walked out of the building and saw that the sky was already beginning to darken.
I squinted my eyes to find Jaebum’s car, I then saw him flashing his lights at me. I ran up to the car and opened the door. I was surprised to see another person in there, sitting at the back.
“Nichkhun was chilling at my place so my mom asked him to come too.” Jaebum explained. I nodded, then got into the passenger seat.
The ride was getting awkward, unfortunately Jaebum ran out of things to talk about. “________ ah.” Jaebum called me.
“Hmmm?” I was looking out the window. “I heard you rejected another guy.” Oh great, why the dating topic?
I gave him a quick soft respond. “Mmm.” “Why?” For once, I prefer it when he doesn’t talk. “Just cause.” He clearly knows the reason yet he still asks me.
I then heard Nichkhun speak. “Still looking for the right prince?” “No..” I mumbled. Because I already found him but the foolish me let him go 3 years ago.
Silence then came , But thankfully we already reached auntie and uncle’s house.
The 3 of us walked towards the grand door.
One of the butler’s opened the door for us. “Thank you.” We thanked. We then walked to the dining room. Uncle and Auntie was already seated, waiting for us. “Hello , auntie uncle.” I smiled.
“Umma Appa.” Jaebum gave them a hug. “Anyonghaseyo Mr. and Mrs. Park.” Nichkhun greeted. After the greetings , the three of us sat down. I sat beside Auntie, with Jaebum seated at the other side of me and Nichkhun was sitting beside him with uncle on the other side.
Once we were seated, Uncle told the maids to bring out the dishes of food.
While we were eating, Everyone was having their own conversations. However, I was not chatting with Nichkhun. He was sitting across from me at the round table, I would glance at him at times but he would be busy talking to Jaebum.
“So how was you summer, _______ ah?” Auntie asked me. I gave her a bored look. “Boring!” I pouted. She chuckled. “Taeyeon and Sunmi went on holidays with their families. And Jaebum doesn’t play with me anymore.” I made a sad face. “It’s Jaebum oppa.” Jaebum corrected me. I had never called Jaebum oppa. It would sound weird therefore i just call him Jay or Jaebum.“Why didn’t you spend time with your cousin?” Auntie scolded. I grinned at Jaebum. “I did! I spend most of my time with her that people thought we were dating.”
“Eww, I just lost my appetite!” I joked , Causing everyone to laugh. “I know! Eww!” Jaebum agreed with me.
“Speaking of dating, how is your dating life?” Auntie asked. “Ummm.. It’s okay I guess.” I started to poke my food with my chopsticks. “Okay? How come? I remember 3 years ago, you said you really liked this boy.” I nearly choked on my own saliva. I looked up to see all eyes on me, even Nichkhun’s.
“You even cried many times to me over the phone because you regretted breaking up with him. Did you not fix the problem?” Auntie added. I looked back at my food. “Umma..” I heard Jaebum say. He knew I was upset once again.
“Excuse me.” I excused myself politely then left the dining room. I felt embarrassed. Nichkhun heard what Auntie said and it wasn’t half obvious that the boy was him.
I walked out to the garden, I sat onto the edge of the fountain. I prevented myself from crying again.
I heard footsteps getting closer. I looked up to see Jaebum. “Hey.” I stood up and hugged him. I wanted someone to comfort me , and the only person that can was Jaebum.
“Jay, I’m so stupid, aren’t I?” I spoke in the language we were most comfortable in. “No your not. Why would you say that?” He patted my back lightly. “I’m still not over him after 3 years. But he’s already over me.” I was trying hard not to cry. “It’s not your fault.”
“Jay, Did I fall in love with the wrong person?” We broke the hug and sat down on the edge of the fountain.
“Maybe it’s just faith playing with you. If he really is the one for you, then at the end it’ll be him that’s beside you.” Jaebum said, he can be serious when needed.
“Jay, Have I ever told you that you’re my favorite cousin?” I put on a smile, I appreciated his help and caring towards me. He chuckled. “Actually, no.”
I laughed lightly. “Well, you are. Thank you for always being there for me.” “What are cousins for?” He smiled.
“Anyways, we should go back in now.” He suggested. I nodded, then got up.
Once we arrived back in the dining room, Nichkhun’s gaze was on me. I avoided his gaze. I then sat back down and acted as if nothing had happened.
“So, When’s dessert?” I tried to sound cheerful. “I’ll tell the maids to bring them out now.” Uncle smiled at me before motioning a maid over.
“_______ sweetie, if the boy from 3 years ago didn’t work out, you should find another boyfriend. How about I introduce you to some of my friend’s son?” Auntie smiled, I smiled back. She was only caring about me.
“Really? Hmm, well you know your niece don’t just fall for anyone, they have to be totally perfect.” I joked, hiding my frown that only Jaebum can see.
“Haha, Well what’s your ideal type?” I cleared my throat. “Um, Well someone that is caring., loves me wholeheartedly, sweet yet humorous . A secure feeling that he can only give me. Oh and cute.” I added the last part with a smile. Somehow all that, only reminds me of him.
“That’s not too hard.” Uncle smiled. “Mmm.. The desserts are yummy.” Jaebum was helping me out.
I smiled at him. He understood my thank you and gave me a small nod. I looked over at Nichkhun and saw that his gaze was still on me. I quickly looked back down.
“Well, Kids after desserts, you should all go home. Tomorrow is your first day of senior year. Are you three ready?” Uncle asked. “Neh!” The three of us chorused.
“I’m anticipating for Senior prom.” Nichkhun smiled. “Oh yeah, I can’t wait!” Jaebum added.
I kept silent. The person I want to go with will never go with me. “Khun shii, you have the girl you want to go with?” Uncle asked. I looked up at Nichkhun but then set my gaze back onto the strawberry cheesecake.
“No, I broke up with my girlfriend.” “Mwoh? When did you break up with Sohee?” Jaebum sounded surprised. And I thought they were best friends.
I , too was surprised however.
“We broke up two months ago, but I just didn’t tell anyone.” Nichkhun admitted. “Oh, Why did you two break up?” Auntie asked, she sounded curious.
“We never clicked.” Nichkhun answered. Jaebum let out a laugh. “Two years of dating and now you realized you two never clicked?”
Nichkhun chuckled. “Haha, I guess so.”
“Do you have someone in mind then?” Auntie yet again, asked another question. I tried not to care but then , I really wanted to know the answer. “Neh..” I heard his soft voice say.
So he has someone in mind? Who?
The whole dating topic ended soon, and it was already time for the three of us to go home.
We were back in Jaebum’s car.
The ride home was quite. No one talked. The only thing audible was the radio that was on.
“Thanks for the ride Jay. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye bye.” I said before getting off his car. “Bye.” I heard Jaebum say.
“Sweet dreams.” Nichkhun then spoke.
Oh, how much I missed him saying 'sweet dreams' every night.
