10 - Dinner
2 Paths; 1 Way
Myungsoo's P.O.V
"Mom again?" Sunggyu hyung tilted his head. I just nodded.
"What now?" Sungyeol asked.
"I have to wear something good 'cause I have to meet the girl and all that shizz." I said bluntly.
"Oh.." was all Sungyeol could say.
After lunch, we headed back to our respective classrooms, with Jaehyo being so overprotective on Jaehwa as usual, and telling her to
stay away from me 'cause I might her. Cool story bro, tell it again.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
After lunch, I went with Sungyeol and L back to our classroom. It was kind of delayed, because my oppa kept on telling me to stay away
from L because he might me. Oh geez, he keeps on describing himself!! Chincha..
Time passed by quickly and dismissal came. Everyone ran out of their classrooms and sprinted elsewhere. Dismissal was always like
this in Woollim University~
As I was walking along the corridors, someone covered my eyes.
"Guess who~~" the person chimed.
"Channie?" I made myself sound like I didn't know, even though I already knew~
"How did you know?!?!?!" his face filled with shock.
"Um, because we are best friends I could tell your every move..?? By the way, did I tell you you're so predictable?" I said in a somehow question.
"Aish!!! Chincha.. I should be more sneaky later on.. Come!! Hang out with us!!" Gongchan dragged me somewhere.
"Channie, I can't today!!" I said sadly.
"Oh right...you're meeting your parents for dinner.." his expression saddened.
"It's alright Channie~!!!" I pinched his cheek. They were so squishy! "We'll hang out tomorrow, I promise~" and so I skipped away to my
home.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
I was walking with the guys until I remembered I had to go home and prepare myself. I had to wear something formal. Ugh, why.
"Guys, I have to go home ahead. Mianhae.." I apologized. I really didn't want to ditch them, but I couldn't do anything.
"Aww~ It's alright!!" Woohyun slung his hand over my shoulder. "Come, I'll walk with you~~"
"Ew, walk with THE Greasy Tree, Woohyun? Um, no thanks." I laughed.
"You're mean, you know that?" he pouted.
"Ah fine~ come if you want." I swear I saw a glint of happiness in his eyes. And so we waved goodbye to the others and proceeded on
our way to my home.
"Ah, Woohyun hyung," I started. "please tell your parents, that I'm very grateful and thankful for what they have done for the past
years. And sorry that I've been such a burden towards you and your family.." I trailed of in the end.
"Ani~!! It's alright~~ Oh here's your home!! I guess I'll have to go.. See you tomorrow Myung--L~!!!" Woohyun hyung made a heart with
his hands and flashed his infamous greasy smile.
"You're so greasy, you know that." I chuckled as I entered my house.
My parents were already there, standing and staring at me like I'm some burglar or something.
"Glad you came early~" my mother chimed.
"We found some suits that you could wear for tonight, so you might as well choose." my dad stated. I nodded and he showed me the
suits. I swear, there were tons of suits to choose from, each and every one having their own uniqueness. But I decided to go for the
simplest one.
"I'm gonna wear that." I pointed out.
"Are you sure? It's too simple.." my mom flashed me a worried look.
"The simpler, the better." I stated bluntly.
"Alright. We'll have this ironed. While we're getting it ironed, just do your homework upstairs and we'll just call you." I nodded and
headed to my room.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
"Umma!! Appa!! I'm here~" I chimed. My parents turned to look at me and smiled.
"Ah~ you're just in time, we have enough time to prepare. If Jaehyo didn't inform you, we're having dinner over the house of the man
whom you will be marrying." I nodded.
"Do I really have to wear a dress?? Can't I just wear something casual???" I titled my head.
"No can do 'baby girl'. The family of the man is very rich and high, therefore, we must look presentable to them. But well..you have a
point, their son doesn't like wearing formal clothes either." umma cupped her chin with her hand and nodded.
"So he will also wear something formal...?" I asked.
"Yes he will." appa assured me.
"Here are the dresses you could pick from." umma showed me a bunch of dresses and told me to pick one from them.
"I don't like any of these~!!" I stuck out my tongue.
"Now don't do that missy, pick one or I'll have to pick for you~" umma threatened.
"Okay okay!! Geez... You know you have a bad choice in clothes.." I muttered the last part.
"What did you say young lady?!"
"Nothing~!!" I acted like nothing happened. Ahn Jaehwa, you are so good in acting!
Okay, back to the picking.
"Hm..I'll choose that!" I pointed to a dress that was light brown and had slight frills at the end. From how it looked like, it only went up
above the knee cap.
"Good choice. We'll get this ironed and fixed. We'll just call you when we're done. Until then, do your homework~" I nodded and
grabbed my thing and went to the study hall. Yes, we had a study hall. I started doing my homeworks like crazy~. After my homeworks
were all done, which I spent 20 minutes working on, my mom called out to me and I went downstairs.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
I finally finished my homework. Just as I was about to lay down on my bed and sleep silently, my mom had to ruin the moment by calling
me. I sighed in frustration and headed to the living room, which was downstairs.
"Your suit's all ironed and fix. Bring this to your room. Change into it and fix yourself. They're coming in around 25 minutes." my mom
ordered. I nodded and took the suit and headed upstairs again.
I looked at myself in the mirror which was just beside my bed.
"I look horrible.." I thought. For the sake of not ruining my parents' 'reputation' (and mine as well), I decided to properly fix myself.
I sprinted to the bathroom and washed myself. I then dried up and changed into the suit. I looked into the mirror and brushed my hair
properly with my bangs on the right side of my face. I sprayed a bit of (manly) perfume and looked at myself in the mirror again.
(just imagine Myungsoo had his usual poker face on, instead of smiling)
"I guess this is okay.." I told myself.
I went downstairs and caught my parents (mostly my mom) staring at me.
"What? Do I have something in my face?" I furrowed my eye brows.
"No, you just look..handsome, the girl will surely fall in love with you." my mom giggled. I rolled my eyes. Cool story bro, tell it again.
"Um, I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not, but thanks." I mumbled.
"Myungsoo, help me set the table please." I just merely nodded. I grabbed an elegant looking table cloth and spread it over the table.
My mom placed our finest plates on each seat, as well as spoons, forks and knives. My dad then placed a vase filled with roses in the
middle of the table.
"Okay, now we're all set. We have 7 more minutes before they come. Myungsoo, you can rest for a while. If ever your hair becomes
messy, make sure to fix it, okay?" my mom commanded and I nodded. Oh, and if you didn't know, my parents were already dressed.
My dad in a suit almost similar to mine and my mom in a red dress that exposed her arms. She was also wearing heels.
I sighed as I slumped on the sofa, slowly drifting to sleep.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
"Jaehwa dear, here's your dress. Please change into it and fix yourself. Make sure you look presentable." umma informed me. I
nodded and jogged my way towards the bathroom. I washed up, dried myself and changed into the dress which they had just ironed. I
have to admit, it looked really pretty~
I stepped out of the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. Unsatisfied with how I looked, I quickly grabbed a nearby brush and
combed my hair. I didn't bother tying it, because I looked prettier with my hair down. I sprayed a bit of perfume and smiled at myself.
"All ready to go~" I mentally pumped a fist in the air and went downstairs.
"Honey, ready to go? Oh~ you look very pretty tonight, I must say~" umma cooed at me.
"Ah~ umma let's go!!" I nudged at her.
"Ahaha~ okay okay. Call your appa. He's in the dining room." I called appa and told him that we had to go. He nodded and we all went
out the door and hopped in into our car. Appa was driving.
After a few minutes of travelling, we finally reached what seems to be the house of the man I will be marrying.
"Whoa..it's huge." I muttered.
"Their family is very well mannered, Jaehwa. You should be happy that you'll get to marry their son." appa smiled at me. I smiled
nervously and nodded.
"Let's go in shall we?" umma dragged both me and appa closer to the door. She knocked. My heart was beating 10 times than usual.
"I'm just nervous.. Calm down myself." I told myself. I inhaled deeply and exhaled.
"You can do this, Ahn Jaehwa. Fighting!" I mentally fist pumped into the air.
The door opened.
This is where fate starts.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
I was peacefully sleeping on the sofa until someone shook me.
"Myungsoo..wake up.." I heard my mom's voice. I ignored it and changed my position.
*THUMP*
I fell on the floor. I opened my eyes and rubbed the back of my head. I guess I fell hard.
"Ow.." I muttered.
"Myungsoo, fix yourself! You look like a total mess!" my mom almost screamed at me. I mumbled some curse words and fixed my hair.
What I didn't notice was that the girl's family was already in our house.
"Ah, I'm sorry for my son's behaviour.. He seems so stressed out lately.." my mom apologized and bowed. I turned to look at who she
was talking to and widened my eyes.
"J-Jaehwa?" I spoke. She seemed shock as well.
"..L?!" Her eyes widened in shock.
"Oh? I see you both know eachother already. Why don't we all take a seat? As for you, Mr. Kim Myungsoo, please fix your hair
properly." my dad commanded. Everyone sat down, except me.
"Bloody hell.." I murmured. Jaehwa must've heard it 'cause she was giggling. I sighed and grabbed a comb and brushed my hair. After
which, I did my usual hairflip and sat with them.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
I was getting married to L?!
No, this has to be some mistake! We just met 2 days ago and we're getting married?! No no no..this can't be happenning! We're
just friends! But..why does he seem so cool about it.. He probably knew it earlier than me..
"Bloody hell.." I heard him murmur. It was funny and I couldn't help but giggle a bit loudly.
He brushed his hair and did a hair flip. He actually looks really handsome, especially in that suit..
NO NO NO AHN JAEHWA WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, YOU ONLY THINK OF MEN AS BUDDIES, NOT SOMETHING TO GET
ATTRACTED TO.
But..we're getting married anyways. There's no use..
Aish!! I'm so troubled!!
"Mr and Mrs. Kim, we are very thankful for having invited us to this dinner, as well as to discuss about the upcoming marriage of
our children." I froze. I'm too young to get married! But..Myung--L looks so cool about it..
"Ah yes, it is an honor to invite such wonderful family to a dinner in our cozy home." L's mom smiled.
"What cozy home.." I heard him mutter. He had his poker face on. I laughed at his incoherent comment.
"So, let us eat!" hearing the word 'eat', my face immediately lit up as I was really hungry at that time. When food was served, I
immediately jotted down on my food, completely forgetting that I was in the house of "the" Kim's.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
I sighed. "So I'm getting married to Jaehwa.." I thought. For once, I had a feeling she was staring at me. I must've been feeling
things.
Food came. Thank God, I was VERY hungry. Without further ado, I ate like a monster. I usually ate like one when I'm really
hungry.
I felt a sudden spank on my back, which caused me to choke on my food.
"Kim Myungsoo, manners!" I heard my mom say. I cursed under my breath and ate "properly". Parents these days.
"Since our children's graduation is right around the corner, I'm guessing they only have limited time to fall in love with each
other?" Jaehwa's dad spoke. Me and Jaehwa simultaneously choked on our food.
"Me and my wife here have given Myungsoo exactly 5 months to fall in love with your daughter, so it would be fair." my dad
spoke.
"So 5 months it is." Jaehwa's mom repeated, and my parents nodded.
"Have I mentioned we are very sorry for the loss of your eldest son?" I choked on my food real hard, until I started coughing. I
quickly drank water and regained my posture.
"Damn it why mention that.." I mumbled and sighed in frustration and went back to eating.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
At the mention of his brother, L literally choked on his food and coughed. I stopped and looked at him to see if he was alright.
After drinking water, yup, he was alright. I wonder what happened in the past though.. But after looking at his face, he probably
doesn't want to talk about it. I went back to eating as I was still very hungry.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
"Since our children are attending the same school, it won't be hard for them to fall in love, right?" my dad spoke. Goodness
gracious, Lord please let this dinner end already so that I could go to my room and sleep.
"Hm, indeed. But they need more interaction between eachother. They appear very silent around each other." Jaehwa's mother
commented.
"No it's because you, parents are here which makes us kids uncomfortable." I mumbled.
"What did you say, Kim Myungsoo?" my mom glared at me.
"I said I like photography." I faked a grin. I swear Jaehwa giggled.
"I swear you said something else." my dad raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing, dad." I smirked. I should get payed for this. My parents just sighed.
"Both of them should do a formal introduction." my parents nodded.
"Myungsoo, you're the man, you introduce first." my dad said. I sighed and stood up.
"Hello, I'm Kim Myungsoo, or more known as--" I got cut off by my parents glaring at me. I sighed in frustration and started again.
"Annyeonghaseyo *bows* I am Kim Myungsoo, the second son of the Kim family. I'm a transfer student from SM Academy. Nice
to meet you again," I paused. "Jaehwa." I smirked.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
L was asked to introduce himself first, which he agreed to. Or more like, forced to agree to.
"Hello, I'm Kim Myungsoo, or more known as--" he got cut off by his parents glaring at him. He just sighed in frustration and
started again.
"Annyeonghaseyo *bows* I am Kim Myungsoo, the second son of the Kim family. I'm a transfer student from SM Academy. Nice
to meet you," he paused. "again, Jaehwa." I saw him curling his lips upwards. At first I thought he would smile, but no, he
smirked, as usual. I chuckled at how he greeted. It was now my turn. I stood up.
"Hello~! I am Ahn Jaehwa, the one and only daughter of the Ahn family. We have met at school, and here, we formally introduce
ourselves. Nice to meet you~!" I chimed. He just chuckled. I'm pretty sure sooner or later, L is going to be the king of smirks and
chuckles.
"Our children should exchange numbers, so that they can contact each other more often and get to know each other more." I
swear I just saw appa smirk.
"Ah yes! What a wonderful idea! Jaehwa dear, would you mind giving out your number to Myungsoo-goon?" I nodded. L took out
his phone and gave it to me and I punched in my number. I gave his phone back and he thanked me.
"So it is all settled. They have 5 months to fall in love with eachother. Whether they love eachother or not, the wedding will push
through." Umma stated.
"We will be going then. Thank you for the wonderful dinner, Mr and Mrs. Kim!" Appa chimed. Mr and Mrs. Kim nodded and
waved us goodbye. L also waved, smiling slightly. I noticed him and waved back, showing my cheesy grin. Although I didn't want
to get married at such a young age, I think L is worth marrying. I think he's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him, but then
again, we're not that close yet, but I'm hoping he really is a nice guy.
Myungsoo's P.O.V
"Finally!!" I yawned and stretched my arms outward. My parents gave me weird looks. I just shrugged and sprinted to my bedroom.
I grabbed my pajamas and darted into the bathroom. I washed, changed and messed up my hair. Ah, it felt good being myself again, not the oh-so-formal Kim Myungsoo.
I jumped onto my bed. Oh, we are gonna have the time of our lives again. I suddenly remembered Jaehwa punching in her number in my phone. I smirked and thought of a plan.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Annyeong! (:
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Um, sorry to sound rude but, who is this? o_o
"She's so oblivious.." I thought. I smiled.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Guess~ (:
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Chansik? Did you changed numbers again?
I was kind off hurt when she thought I was Chansik. Wait. Hold up. Kim Myungsoo, why are you hurt? Aish!
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Ouch Jaehwa, that hurt, lol~. Think harder ._.
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Ah! L! Sorry, I'm no good at guessing ;~;
I chuckled. "She finally guessed it right.."
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Ani~ it's alright, haha.
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Mian! Ehehe..oh right, by the way, when can I call you by your real name?
I stopped and thought. "Should I let her call me by my real name...?"
To: Ahn Jaehwa
..let me think..
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Aish! I'm sorry! It must be personal! Aish~ Jaehwa is such a pabo! =_=
I laughed at her cuteness. I guess I should let her call me by my real name. It won't make any difference anyway.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Alright, you can call me by my real name. lol. And no, it's not a problem. And yes, you're too predictable.
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Ah, chincha?! Kkkk~ I think Myungsoo's a cute name. Myungie. lol
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Um, what? lol.
From: Ahn Jaehwa
I should call you Myungie. Or Myung myung. Yeah, Myung myung's cuter. lol
To: Ahn Jaehwa
That sounds so gay. lol
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Myungie myungie myung myung. Haha.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Stop. It's not cute at all!! ;~;
"This is going nowhere.." I chuckled. I glanced at the clock. "10:30.." I thought. I was starting to feel drowzy and my eyes were starting to drop.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Yah, Jaehwa. I wanna go to sldep. Mz eyer are fbhling md.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
Oops. I meant *sleep and *My eyes are failing me. lol. Told you they were.
From: Ahn Jaehwa
Ah~ go sleep now! You sound awfully tired. Good night, Myungie Myung myung. HAHA.
To: Ahn Jaehwa
The hell Ahn Jaehwa. That is not cute at all! ;~; k, don't reply to this. Tlk to u tom, k?^^
After sending that message, I turned off my phone. Man, I was REALLY tired. I laid down on my bed, pulled the blankets over me and went away to dream land.
Jaehwa's P.O.V
Okay, after exchanging text messages with L (which I will call Myungsoo later on), I jumped on my bed, turned off my phone and shut my eyes. I was pretty tired as well~. Because we exchanged messages, I found out that he was quite funny for a quiet guy. Ah, anyways, off to dream land~.
