No Flex ZoneThen I slapped his cheek, but that just smirked towards me. “Who do you think you are?”
“Uhm, Kim Mingyu?” he answered.
“I mean, who are you to kiss me?”
“Me? I’m Kim Mingyu.”
“Forget it.” I was walking away but I heard him following me. “Don’t follow me!”
“I’m not following you, we are in the same class, don’t you remember?”
Oh, he is right.
“Are you already attached to me that you think I’m following you?”
“Gosh, Kim Mingyu!”
This guy should stop being narcist and have to learn on how to shut his mouth because sometimes
he really doesn’t mind to filter his words and that’s annoying.
But one thing that’s weird is that I just slapped him for kissing me, and I got angry for it? But
when Wonwoo kissed me, I really didn’t think to slap him even once. And even after he did so
many mistakes including yesterday’s night, I can’t stop thinking on how to accept his apologize?
I think I’m crazy enough to keep thinking about Wonwoo when he clearly just using me to make
his ex jealous. But, really, all of this mess is actually created because of Wonwoo.
Just if he didn’t kiss me at all, I wouldn’t think about it all night long instead of studying. My grades
wouldn’t be down, and I wouldn’t fight with Kwon Byul. Now that I almost lost everything, I shouldn’t
bring Wonwoo back when I surely know that he is the one who made me like this.
But I just can’t help but thinking of him, Oh God, what happened to me?
“Kim Nara, Kim Mingyu, the homeroom teacher wants to meet you two.”
He really added so many problems into my life, like really.
“Do you think the school is a right place to kiss?”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Both of you are the role model for other students.” the teacher said. Well, doesn’t he know that all the
students just acts like they care about this whole role model thing? Is he stupid? “But what did you do?
Kissing?”
“Actually we didn’t kiss, he is the one who kissed me. But I slapped him in the end because I don’t like it.”
“That’s not the main problem, Kim Nara. I will just talk to your parents.”
“No.”
“Sure.”
“What the hell, Kim Mingyu?”
“Call my Mom, I also want to meet her. It’s been a while.”
Goddamnit. I shouldn’t have known him at the first place.
“No no no, Teacher. Please. If you call our parents then we will have a bad notes. Do you think Seoul
University will accept us? No. Just let us free for now.”
Sometimes I really love myself for being a good speaker since I can make people trust in me; even my
teacher. And one thing that I have to do now is avoiding Mingyu for real, this kid really brings bad luck
to my life.
“You stopped me from meeting my Mom.”
“Go find her yourself, don’t bring me in.”
“I wish I could find her though.”
Did he meant that his Mom is nowhere now? Because he seems sincere when he talked about his mom
and his expression really darkened?
“Nara,”
“What?”
“I want to meet your Mom.”
“Just what do you want from me, Kim Mingyu?”
“I just want to meet your Mom since I couldn’t meet mine.”
And I couldn’t say no. His face is really different with when he talks about everything else. I know that he is
hiding his pain in front of me. Even when my Mom slept in the office for one night, I would miss her. I couldn’t
even imagine if I couldn’t meet her for a long time.
“But my Mom usually back from the office at around nine? You wouldn’t want to wait that long.”
He smirked, “Few hours is extremely okay for me. You wouldn’t know how it feels of waiting for eighteen years.”
“I don’t even want to know.”
“Sure, I hope you don’t,” he looked down to his shoes, “because it is hurt as hell.”
Seems like he was being serious about making me attached to him, because he really needs someone to be by
his side whenever he’s down. I mean, he has a lot of friends but maybe he is waiting for someone who would
listen to him wholeheartedly.
Just like me, that’s the reason why I didn’t run after Kwon Byul after we fought, because she’s never been the
best listener and I’ve never been the best friend for her. Maybe by being apart, we would realized what’s weird
with our friendship. Because even though we always sticks together, seems like there’s something wrong with
us that I couldn’t tell.
“What drinks do you want?”
Mingyu is now sitting in the couch while changing the TV channel like he is on his own home. “Vanilla latte.”
“This ain’t coffee shop, Kim Mingyu.”
“Then grab one with me sometimes.”
“Stop hitting on me.” I poured the orange juice to the glass, then placing it on the table in front of the couch.
“Stop changing the channel, I want to watch The Return of Superman!”
We were watching the TV while talking about everything, and it was fun. Actually Mingyu’s not bad since the
first time we met, he is just annoying sometimes - extremely annoying. But seeing him at this state made me
realized that he is not that different than me.
He is trying to break my wall.
“I’ve never met my Mom,” he suddenly said. “she left me even before I could remember her face. My Dad
never let me find her because he said that my Mom wouldn’t want to meet met that’s why she dumped me.
But I believe that she wants to meet me, it’s just my Dad who doesn’t want me to leave him.”
“Do you think you will meet her by making a fuss at school?”
He laughed, “No. But I’m trying anyway.”
“Then what are you doing to meet her?”
“I’m going to America; I’m going to enroll to Yale. That’s why my Dad is against it and force me to just go to
Seoul University.”
“And how do you know that she is there?”
“My Aunty says that my Mom’s new husband is a lecture there, and that’s all she knows.”
This boy really depressed to meet his Mom, and the whole world seems to stop him from doing that. And I feel
bad for him about that. I wish I could help him though.
“I brought some pizzas!” my Mom arrived home earlier than usual, then she smiled when she saw Mingyu.
“Ooh, Kim Nara. You’ve got a boy.”
“She is just a friend, Mom.” I said while walking to the pizza then placing it in the living room so Mingyu
could eat it also. “Here.”
“Your Mom seems warm.”
“I know.”
We waited until my Mom finished taking a shower in the living room, and Mingyu seems to be anticipating
a lot. This seems weird because he might lied to me about his whole life and in love with my Mom instead,
but I think it’s just my mind that’s weird.
I shouldn’t judge him for being this excited about meeting someone else’s Mom when I don’t even know how
it feels to miss my Mom for eighteen years.
The three of us were talking while eating the pizza and also watching the TV, even it’s already late, Mingyu seems
to be enjoyed his stay. And even though he looks happy, he still couldn’t hide the pain on his eyes.
There are noisy guys walking to the door and I already know who are they. Just if there is no Mingyu, I would
just walk to my room and locked my self.
“Fortunately the pizza is still available.” Mom said when she saw my brother and Wonwoo. “And who is he?”
“I’m Wonwoo, Jongin’s boyfriend.”
“I know, he’s been single for a long time.”
“I was kidding,” Wonwoo laughed and Mingyu just joined him. Just who else found his joke amusing though?
“I’m his friend.”
“I know.” my Mom replied.
Seems like Wonwoo tried to make an eye-contact with me but I always avoided him. I still don’t understand
about this feeling because I reall denied the truth that the whole thing is not his fault. There’s a misunderstanding
between us but I don’t want to fix it because I know that I’m at the fault.
Wonwoo is really just someone who I just met for few days and he shouldn’t placed me in such a mess like this.
I really want him to know that I can take care of myself, just don’t feel bad about me. Don’t apologize because
he thinks that he broke my heart because I’m really okay. Partly.
My Mom is already in her room and there are just four of us here but Mingyu is going to leave since his main
intention here is just to meet my Mom.
“I don’t need to walk you home, right?”
He laughed, “I don’t mind if you want to.”
“Bye.”
“Hey, thank you.”
“Anything, don’t be attached to me anymore, bye!”
Mingyu was just leaving, and I was going to lock my self but then a pair of hands grabbed mine. “Do you want
to walk outside to get fresh air?”
“I’m sorry, Wonwoo, but I’m sleepy.”
“Please.”
“Go, just drag her.” my brother pushed us, and maybe this is the right time to hear the truth from Wonwoo.
Because he suddenly asked me to walk outside, I didn’t even wear my jacket and I’m freezing so much. And seems like Wonwoo noticed me, he is taking off his jacket then putting it on me. Smiling, I hate his smile
because it makes me fall over him.
“I know you hate me, but at least let me explain to you.”
I nodded, “I’m ready.”
“First, the kissing. I’ve already told you that it was entirely my fault. And when I said that I want to fix
everything in the next, I also meant it, Nara. I didn’t know that my ex would show up there. And I couldn’t
stand still when she looked down on you just because you are highschool girl.”
“I know.”
“I feel so bad that I can’t sleep at night. We just met few days ago but I really put you in such difficult position.
I feel like I was crushing your heart in one night.”
“Wonwoo, you know what? Actually, I already know the reason because I know you are not a bad person. But I
denied it because I hate the fact that someone might feel bad about me. I don’t like being pitied by someone,
that’s why.”
“And what should I do now?”
“I don’t know, I really don’t know what happened to me.” I want to tell him that I can’t stop thinking of him and
he is actually broke my heart. But he approached me just because he feels so bad after doing those things to me
and nothing more.
I’m not special for him, just a little girl whose he kissed by accident. , where did my self esteem go?
But he suddenly pulled me into a hug, “I’m sorry. I think after I got your apologize you can live without thinking
about my fault. We can be stranger if you want to, since I just added a problem to you.”
He kissed me and then asking me to be a stranger? Wow, he really turned me into a piece of while still being
hugged.
From: Mingyu
Seems like he really likes you. Congratulation.
