—You go first. — Sooho said to the two boys next to him, helping the girl take off her helmet so he could put it in its compartment.
The duo obeyed, and Hyeori watched them walk away before seeing Sooho turn off the motorcycle before walking over to her. — Are you sure Mrs. Shin isn’t going to fire you?
— How could you fire your best worker? —This one said with a proud smile, the girl smiled at him, stroking his hair when he wrapped his arms around her waist, giving her a tight hug. — Can I stay at your house today? I don’t want to sleep at school.
Hyeori smiled, looking into her boyfriend’s dark eyes. — You know you can stay whenever you want, my little moon. — Sooho smiled at her affectionate nickname, placing a soft kiss on her lips before placing one on her forehead, taking her hand.
— Come on, you haven’t eaten anything since lunch. — The boy said, walking with her hand in hand towards the entrance of the place. — I’m sorry! I came late. — Sooho apologized, releasing Hyeori as he bowed and approached the owner of the place, who was behind the counter, when she saw the two familiar teens, she smiled fondly.
She remembered the day the boy arrived, with little Hyeori holding Sooho’s hand, she remembered how the boy watched her do homework for hours and how she had listened to him talk for hours that same day, she also remembered the day he arrived crying at the restaurant because he had realized that Hyeori had left the country.
— Oh, did something happen? You’re late.
— I’m sorry. — Sooho apologized, standing in front of the counter.
— Did you eat yet?
— No, not yet, I’ll eat later… Ah… — His sight went to Hyeori, who was greeting the woman, still in the middle of both boys. — Are you hungry?
— I prefer to help you first and then we will eat together. — The boy nodded with a smile before seeing the other two boys.
— I was late for work because of you, so you’re going to have to help me. —he said before giving them a smile, his eyes went to Sieun’s hand. — Can you help him with that, darling?
Hyeori looked at Sieun’s hand, nodding before moving to the bathroom where she knew the first aid kit was, leaving the place with the box in her hands, the girl motioned to the other boy to come to her, sitting at a far table, so that the smell of alcohol would not bother the customers. —This is going to hurt you a little, although I don’t think it will hurt more than the beating they gave you. — She said, while she put some hydrogen peroxide to remove the bacteria that the wound could have.
— You are just as funny as your boyfriend. — Hyeori looked at Sieun, noticing how his serious and bored face was close to hers. The girl laughed when she saw that expression and put it together with the words he had said.
— You don’t seem to like that very much. — she said, cleaning his wound with cotton.
— It’s annoying, but it’s not something I can change.
— Exactly. — The girl responded. — You’re serious, quite, sometimes it’s annoying, but it’s not something we can change and if I’m honest, I like it, sometimes… It’s not like I have much of that silence lately, not with Sooho. — she began, putting the first light bandage on his hand. — Seeing you makes me somewhat curious, I always wondered why your face is so serious and boring, but you know… Now that I see you up close, you don’t look serious…
— No?
— No. — Hyeori finished putting on the bandages, releasing the boy’s hand, looking into his eyes. —Your eyes… They show something else. — The girl said, avoiding the word sad, because sometimes, people did not like to accept that feeling, she never knew why, it was a necessary feeling for a person, it was good to free you, but people took it as a negative feeling and they reacted in a not so good way, so she preferred not to ruin the night.
Hyeori smiled at him before getting up and taking the medicine in her hands to put it back in the bathroom so she could help Mrs. Shin in the kitchen.
— Oh, Hyeori! — The woman smiled when she saw her in her place with the restaurant shirt on and her hair tied to prevent it from falling on her face.
— Mrs. Shin, it’s a pleasure to see you again.
— It’s lovely to have you here, Sooho told me that you are studying very hard, that’s why you didn’t come to see us. —The lady said as she guided the girl to the kitchen. — That’s it Hyeori-ssi… study hard and a lot! — The girl laughed with some tenderness at the woman’s words, nodding before receiving instructions on the dish she had to prepare.
Mrs. Shin was only a few years older than Sooho’s grandmother, unfortunately, the boy’s grandma turned out to be sick and had to leave the job she had spent her entire life in, Mrs. Shin had known Sooho since he was born, which is why who, when she saw how the boy began to look for a job to be able to cover the costs of his grandma’s medicine, without hesitation, offered him a job, she had trusted his grandmother for more than fifteen years, she was sure that she could trust little Sooho.
Once the orders were ready, the girl was in charge of taking them to the counter. — Sooho! — The girl called, he answered her immediately before leaving Sieun with the drinks to go pick up the order, once delivered, the boy returned to the counter, looking at the girl in her uniform.
Laughing, Sooho handed her the tray. — If your father saw you right now, he would surely have a restraining order placed on me, I am leading his daughter down the wrong path. — He made fun of the words that the same man had said to him once when he had seen them in a park, walking the two dogs.
— Yah, Sooho, go back to work and stop talking nonsense. —The girl complained, walking back to the kitchen so she could use the tray, hearing her boyfriend laugh from a distance away from her.
…
— Ah, how good this smells. — Hyeori said, sitting next to Bumseok, with a tired sigh, the girl began to put a plate in front of her and one next to her knowing that Sooho would sit there.
And so he did, after cursing, the boy sat next to her, leaving a small caress on the girl’s back.
Hyeori took her chopsticks before a small piece of lettuce with more food inside was placed in front of her mouth. She knew who it was, so she opened her mouth for Sooho to put the food inside, smiling at him in gratitude as she chewed
Hyeori wanted to laugh when she saw the other two boys’ faces when Sooho put his food on his mouth, his cheeks looked like those of a little squirrel with too many nuts in his mouth, that is until Bumseok imitated him, the girl raised her thumb to check if he had liked it, he smiled and nodded. — It’s hot. — Sooho giggled before putting a little more meat and some rice on his girlfriend’s plate, then proceeded to put together another small bun, once ready, he took this one in his hands.
— Here, Sieun, try it, it’s the only way you’ll taste the meat. — he explained, still with the bun in his hand, Hyeori looked at Sieun, denying with a smile when he said no and looked at the boy with disgust. — Yah… Nobody has ever regretted my words, look Hyeori, I told her that if she accepted me on a date she wouldn’t regret it, we have been together for three years and we’re very happy.
— Maybe she regretted it and didn’t tell you.
Sooho stopped, looking at Sieun, who had a serious expression before seeing Hyeori, who shook her head as she opened her eyes, her mouth was full of food, with an enormous desire to laugh, Sieun sometimes said quite funny things, and she didn’t know if he said them randomly or if he thought about them before saying them.
The taller blinked before turning back to Sieun. — Yah, stop talking nonsense and come on, open your mouth. — The boy said, stretching the food further towards the boy’s face.
— Did you wash your hands? — Sooho looked at him indignant and tired upon hearing him say that, making the other two laugh.
— You are so incredulous, hands make food taste better. — The boy said as he ran his hands all over the bun, Sieun made a disgusted face when he saw how the boy’s hands touched every part of the food. — Come on, open your mouth, I do this with Hyeori all the time and she never gotten sick, here, say “ah”
Hyeori and Bumseok laughed as they watched Sieun open his mouth, taking the bun into his mouth and Sooho smiled proudly as he watched him chew. — What you think? It’s good, right? — The boy laughed and returned to his food, putting a hand on his girlfriend’s leg.
Hyeori locked eyes with Sieun, nodding at him with a smile before taking a sip of her drink, watching as that sad glint in his eyes had changed in an instant. And Hyeori was happy about that, the boy really needed to go out once in a while, and more than anything, he needed friends.
…
— Your dad is going to put me in prison when he finds out that I slept at his house. — Hyeori laughed once the door to her house closed, both walked towards the living room, leaving their backpacks on the couch, Mrs. Shin had let Sooho out early and the girl was grateful, she liked spending time with him, and sometimes he would just come and fall asleep from exhaustion.
— Dad is in Amsterdam and mom went with him because… — Sooho smiled, taking the girl’s waist, giving her a kiss while laughing when he felt her pull him so that they both fell on the couch.
— She doesn’t trust him and his secretary being alone…. — The girl nodded at her boyfriend’s words, caressing his face, noticing how the boy looked into her eyes with that shine so characteristic of them.
— I have a surprise for you. — The boy said, moving away from her a little to look for his backpack, Hyeori sat down, putting her hands on her stomach, waiting for the boy, who looked totally excited. — Close your eyes and stretch out your hands.
The girl did it, smiling, she felt him move in front of her before putting something, not so heavy, on her palms, making her open her eyes, the youngest frowned when she saw an envelope in front of her eyes, taking it delicately, she looked at the boy. — What is this?
Sooho smiled and sat next to her, pointing to the envelope. — open it. —This one murmured to her, still with that excited smile.
Hyeori did so, taking out a small paper with black letters printed on it, beginning to read them, each word of it made her eyes widen in surprise until she reached the end, the girl immediately put the paper down and looked at her boyfriend, who had a proud smile now. — You…
— I will be able to go with you to Canada. — The boy said, nodding while closing his eyes, Hyeori squealed excitedly before throwing herself into her boyfriend’s arms, making him laugh tenderly as he felt the kisses that crashed all over his face, hugging his girlfriend’s waist with his arms. — I told you that I was going to accompany you to achieve all your goals, right? I meant it.
Hyeori’s teary eyes made Sooho panic, becoming alarmed as he placed his hands on her cheeks, asking her if she was okay. — Yes, it’s just… They’re tears of joy, I’m sorry. — The girl denied, Sooho nodded and dried the small tears before drawing her face and leaving a soft kiss on her lips. —Why didn’t you ever tell me about this?
— I wanted it to be a surprise, and I really thought it would take longer. — Sooho laughed, taking the paper in his hands, looking at it, it was in English, but he had understood thanks to that it came with a copy in Korean. — Also, it arrived on Sunday, I wanted it to be another surprise as an anniversary gift. — He smiled at her, Hyeori looked at the paper before laughing, nodding at him.
— Thank you Ho, thank you for making all this effort for us. — The girl told him, he just denied, leaving the paper on the table next to the couch they were in.
— I still don’t have the total amount for the apartment, but I’m working on it, I don’t have planned what I’m going to do while there, but I’ll figure it out… And, I think I have to learn English… —He laughed a little embarrassed, However, Hyeori only took his face, leaving a soft kiss on his lips, which made Sooho take her waist, leaning back better on the couch as he continued to show affection to his girlfriend.
— I’ll help you, I will… And… You don’t have to worry about the apartment, we already talked about this. — Hyeori reinforced once they both separated, making him look at her with a small grimace.
— Yes, but, just as it will be your home, it will also be mine, and we said that we would do this between the two of us, and without the help of your parents. — Sooho took the girl’s face in his hands, caressing her cheeks before placing a kiss on her nose. — I want us to have something we can call our own, okay?
The girl nodded, still excited to know that there was less and less time left before both of them could leave that place, jumping a little on the boy’s lap before colliding her lips with his again. — Thanks, love.
— Thanks to you, my love. — He attacked the girl’s lips again, this time, Hyeori got closer to him, both feeling the heat begin to rise through their bodies, when Sooho lowered his hands from her hips to her buttocks, bringing the younger’s body closer to him, and achieving a friction that made the boy gasp a little, when the girl’s tongue entered his mouth, Sooho grabbed her buttocks forcefully, lifting her up a little before leaving her lying on the couch.
The boy’s lips went down to her neck, leaving wet kisses on her vanilla-scented skin, which made the boy bury his face deeper into it, when the taller’s hands were ready to rest under her shirt, a few loud barks were heard, scaring him in the process.
— I think Jax believe you’re hurting his mother.
Sooho looked into her girlfriend’s bright eyes before looking at Jax with narrowed eyes. —But when she doesn’t want to watch Batman with me you don’t even look at me, right?
…
Hyeori was recording her boyfriend.
The group, Bumseok, Sieun, Sooho and Hyeori were playing, it was Sooho’s weekend off and the boy wanted to take his girlfriend out for a walk, and she suggested taking the boys, so now they were in a billiard room.
— Oh! Take away ten. Did you record that? Did you film your boyfriend breaking his record? — The girl laughed and raised a thumb, smiling when the boy approached the camera and gave it a kiss. After murmuring something to it, he turned around when he heard Sieun’s voice. — Sieun, today is the weekend, right? I’ll tell you what I always tell my girl. Sometimes you have to go out and play to get your blood flowing and your brain working. — he said, touching the girl’s head gently before leaning back on the pool table to hit the balls.
— You’re not going to university, right? — Hyeori looked at Sooho over her cell phone, noticing how he swallowed a little before seeing the girl.
— That was close, I’ll do it next time. —This one he told her, smiling at her and then turning his attention from her to Sieun. —And you, did they not hit your head hard enough yesterday? Why would I want to go back into that coop? — Bumseok and Hyeori laughed, although the girl did it with less amusement, she knew that he avoided talking about those topics because, even if he wanted to go to the university, he knew that it was going to be impossible for him to do so due to the situation he was in these moments.
The girl’s attention turned to her boyfriend before he approached Sieun, asking him to play.
Hyeori watched as the boy stood, staring at the table for a second before leaning down and getting into position. Hyeori lowered her cell phone and focused on the boy, raising her eyebrows when she saw him hit the ball that Sooho had been wanting to hit since the beginning.
Hyeori’s laughter was heard, recording the face of her boyfriend, who just ran his tongue along his cheek with an amused smile. —And on the first try. — Hyeori joked with the taller, who looked at her for a second before running towards her upon hearing that, taking her in his arms and ruffling her hair and tickling her while they both laughed.
Both stopped when they heard Sieun. — Let’s go study. — The boy said, taking the backpack from his sit just like Bumseok.
Sooho walked towards his pool stick, releasing Hyeori, who walked around the table to grab her backpack too, putting Sooho’s phone in her pocket. —…Do you want to bet jjangjanmyeom and sweet and sour pork too? Or have you tried pork with peppers before? Do you want to try it?
— Sooho, Sieun wants to go home, we can’t keep him here. — Hyeori said, watching Sieun look at her for a second, looking at the girl’s bright eyes, understanding how the girl managed to convince the taller to do practically everything. The boy looked at Sooho again before sighing and walking back the way he came, leaving his backpack next to Hyeori’s.
—It’s too annoying. — He said when he reached Hyeori’s side, taking the pool stick to get into position.
— Yah, I heard that, stop putting those ideas of me in my girlfriend’s head.
