Points To Heart

Gotcha Heart

 

 

[Since it's hard to portray Sarah's poor Korean, let's just show it through her broken (sometimes) sentences - let's just imagine it's all in Korean. Hahaha]

 

"Wow~ This café is very cool~"

Looking around the action figure themed café, Sarah smiled widely in excitement. "Isn't my Oppa cool?" Her friend, Yeona who's also a teacher in the primary school Sarah teaches at, asked. "Oppa-brother or boyfriend own this?" Sarah asked in shock. "Boyfriend~" Yeona answered and nudged her back. "Wow, cool~" Sarah said and gave out two thumbs up and continued looking around again. Tonight, she was especially invited by Yeona to go here to hang out. "But this café is closed? It's only seven in the evening." Sarah asked pointing at the CLOSE signboard by the door. "Oppa's going to bring a friend." Yeona answered. "Okay, then?" Sarah asked expecting a continuation but Yeona just grinned. "Friend is?" She asked which finally made Yeona lean down. "His friend is famous so he closed it for a while so they can hang out easily." Yeona explained and giggled. "Ahh..." Sarah nodded in realization and didn't ask further anymore - she doesn't really know much famous people around Korea aside from the actors and actresses that she watches in Korean dramas. "And I also brought you along so that this famous friend has a date~" Yeona suddenly added which surprised Sarah.

"Ha??"

"Just for tonight, don't overreact there~ and he's nice." Yeona reassured and patted her shoulders. "Not that not that... b-but I don't wear nice dress. Date is nice dress and nice hair and nice makeup..." Sarah said with a pout while looking at her simple sweaters and jeans. "It's alright~ you still look pretty." Yeona answered and winked at her. "But... but... Yeona, I'm shy... Not dressed nicely." Sarah whined like a kid while tugging on her friend's arm. "Eyy~ I said don't worry. Date doesn't mean love right away. It's just hang out." Yeona explained. "Eh? Not relationship? We date because we like people..." Sarah answered. "Of course not~ It can also mean hang out." Yeona answered while laughing softly. "Really?" Sarah asked in shock. "It's not bad like that?" She asked and Yeona nodded in assurance. "It's not like you're gonna have right after." She said and Sarah's eyes widen and quickly covered Yeona's mouth while looking around.

"Why you say that in public? Naughty..."

"Tch. As if we don't talk about it?" Yeona pushed her hand down gently and laughed. "We talk private. It's private thing..." Sarah answered and put her index finger up to her lips. "But your tips did help me a lot, Oppa loves me even more." Yeona said and winked. Sarah already had her face buried on her table.

It's just that - because she came from the States - Yeona once asked her some tips - and although it left her uncomfortable to actually share some tips about it, she still did and Yeona literally followed her.

"You must be so good in bed, huh?" Yeona teased and poked her sides which made Sarah jolt up while pouting. "Don't talk public... it's so get me shy..." Sarah whined while looking around. "But do you learn those from friends too or you just did those?" Yeona whispered this time and Sarah pouted more while rubbing the back of her neck. "Well... W-when you love someone... you do your best... make them happy... and you do all to make them feel good..." Sarah explained.

"That's so cheesy~" Yeona said and laughed. "Aniya~ true!" Sarah argued back with an innocent face. "I first did it because first boyfriend wanted to do it... and I love him so..." She explained softly while fiddling with her fingers. "And then... second boyfriend too... and then third boyfriend too... all boyfriend wanted cuddling always." She explained and Yeona sighed while listening.

"So you mean you lost it in high school?"

"Ne... people here would think it's dirty and... because I came from different place so it doesn’t have meaning to me... but reason is because I loved them... not just call ... I show love there... but they think... not that." Sarah explained. "Aigoo... it depresses me, let's not talk about it anymore." Yeona said and smiled while patting Sarah's lap. Just then, the entrance of the café opened making them both turn. A man in a white t-shirt and jeans came in. He also had a black mouth mask on which refrained them from seeing much of his face. Sarah's eyes lit up and her jaw literally dropped in admiration seeing what the man was wearing right now.

"Oh, annyeonghaseyo." Yeona stood up first and bowed. The man bowed back first before removing his mask showing off a smile. "Yeona right? Where's Haneul?" Baekhyun asked searching for his friend. Sarah on the other hand already stood up as well still with that amazed expression. 'He has an eye smile too...' She seriously wanted to scream right now. Baekhyun who was looking around got distracted when he saw the woman staring at him. He felt really uncomfortable and feared that she was a fan so he put his mask on again and walked to the counter. "Haneul? Bro, I'm here." He spoke and hesitantly turned his head to the side and saw the woman still staring at her. ", why did he allow a fan here..." He muttered to himself and groaned. When the tall guy, Haneul, came out of the café's office, he did a high five with Baekhyun before dragging him back to the table where Yeona and Sarah were sitting at. "Bro why did you bring a fan..." Baekhyun leaned to Haneul's ear and whispered. "Huh? Who?" The guy asked back and looked down to her girlfriend's friend. "Oh~ Don't worry, she's not a fan. I'm sure she doesn't even know you." Haneul answered. Baekhyun looked down to Sarah and noticed how beautiful she was and right away he thought, 'Plastic Surgery.' But still, he forced a smile.

"Sarah, introduced yourself."

Slowly standing up again, their gap got a little closer right across each other and Sarah was holding a smile. "I'm going to... introdu-can you remove this?" Sarah pointed at Baekhyun's face which caught the man off guard. A stranger just pointed at him - it's such a disrespectful thing but without having any choice, Baekhyun pulled it down. "Yey thank you~" She said and suddenly clapped her hands before bowing quickly making her head bump right on Baekhyun's chest. The man jolted up and moved away quickly. "Kyeopta." Haneul said and chuckled with Yeona. "I'm Sarah Jacobs, nice to meet you~" She said and stood straight again while smiling at Baekhyun. "Oh... so... Ah..." Baekhyun was hit by realization that she wasn't Korean. "Sarah HONG Jacobs." Yeona explained right away. "She's Half-Korean Half-American." She said and Baekhyun slowly nodded. "Oh?" Sarah suddenly gasped and snapped a finger. Without further ado, touched Baekhyun’s hair. "Not full Korean too? Blonde?" She asked in shock.

Haneul and Yeona laughed softly seeing how the girl was reacting upon a famous K-pop idol. "Doesn't this woman watch TV?" Baekhyun muffles to Haneul. "Oh~ I do I do. I watched I Remember You, Producer, Oh My gh-" Okay, okay... Good." Baekhyun cut her off with a fake smile as he nodded eagerly. "We brought her as your date for today." Haneul said and his eyes bulged out. But then, he shouldn't show a rude manner because she doesn't trust this girl still and it might cause trouble. "Where are you from? I came from Florida." Sarah asked in English which bewildered Baekhyun again. Right, he hasn't defended himself about his nationality.

"Well... From Bucheon."

"Oh~ I haven't heard of that town." Sarah said and smiled. "Miss, it's from this country. I'm Korean. This is bleached hair." Baekhyun explained calmly while pointing at his hair. "Ah~ That's so cool!" Sarah said and suddenly ruffled his hair. "Omo, it's so dry... Kwaenchanayo?" She pulled away quickly and asked in worry. Haneul and Yeona couldn't speak anymore, they were too speechless of what Sarah was doing, but nevertheless, she looks so cute. "Guys, I'll let your order now." Haneul cut it off after sometime and dragged them to the ordering section. Sarah was standing beside Baekhyun who was looking up to the menu by the wall. She already wanted to get Iron Man and check two from her list. 'Eye smile.' And 'White shirt, blue jeans.'

“What do you want?" Haneul asked turning to Baehyun. "Hmm..." He thought while rubbing the tip of his chin. "Since I'm stressed and kind of down tonight.... I want something sweet." He said and looked for a few more seconds. "Something sweet... something sugary an-Oh Caramel Latte. But I want it over ice." He said and again, Sarah's eyes bulged out. "Caramel Latte??" She asked making them all turn in shock.

"Uh... Yes, is there something wrong?"

"Not wrong not wrong.... Very right." Sarah said and gave out two thumbs up. "Me too me too." She said while nodding eagerly. "That's her usual order, Oppa. Give her the same but I think she wants it hot." Yeona explained to her boyfriend. Baekhyun glanced down to Sarah again and saw her grinning widely while blushing. 'She's weird but her acts are cute.' That's what he could only think of her right now. "Baekhyun, go sit and chat with her now. Yeona's been asking to let her help inside. She wants to try making coffee." Haneul said while chuckling before dragging his girlfriend into the bar.

With much hesitance, Baekhyun walked to the table while Sarah trailed behind. Once they were both seated across each other, he spoke. "You really don't know me right?" He asked. "Yes, you not say your name yet." Sarah answered leaving Baekhyun a bit embarrassed. "Ah, right..." He said and couldn't help but to chuckle while removing his cap and mask completely.

"My name's Byun Baekhyun."

"Wah, so cute name." Sarah said and giggled. "Ha... ha... thank you." Baekhyun said awkwardly while ruffling his own hair to mess it up a bit. Right then and there, it got awkwardly silent but Sarah tried hard to open another topic. "Yeona said you're famous. Actor?" She asked and Baekhyun quickly shook his head with a smile. "No, I'm an idol." He answered. "Oh... you mean... like... Arashi?" Sarah asked and Baekhyun laughed softly "Yeah but... that's... actually Japanese." He explained. "Ahh~ yes, I know..." Sarah answered and giggled. "K-pop. Don't you know anything about K-pop?" Baekhyun tried asking - it isn't that bad to talk to her after all, he realized. She seems nice, just a bit weird. "Hmm..." Sarah looked up as if the answers were up the ceiling. "Ah~ Gangnam style!" She then said and even did the dance with her hands. Baekhyun let out a light laugh again but nodded. "You're funny." He said and shook his head in amusement before looking down to his phone. "You? Don't want to ask anything about me?" Sarah asked making him look again. "Uh... Well..." Baekhyun was out of words for a while as he didn't know what to talk about.

"Anything... a-about America?" Sarah tried giving the trigger question to test him. "What's your job?" Baekhyun asked instead and Sarah's insides turned. Most men she met here didn't care about her job at all.

"I'm a teacher."

"Ah... Okay, cool." Baekhyun smiled and nodded before looking down to his phone again. "How old are you?" Sarah asked again and Baekhyun heaved a sigh - okay, playing with his phone to escape isn't a good thing maybe. In the end, he just kept his phone inside his bag and completely gave all of his attention to her. "Twenty-three. You?" He asked. "I just turned twenty-two last 12th of September~" Sarah answered. "But I was busy so I not celebrate it." She added with a pout. "Oh really? It's okay, I've experienced that." Baekhyun answered and comfortably leaned on his chair. "D-don't you want to ask me about spicy food?" Sarah then gave another test out. "Oh, I don't like spicy food so why ask." Baekhyun answered and grinned. "Omo..." Sarah muttered unconsciously. "You okay?" He asked, she just gave a nod. Being silent for a while, Baekhyun got dazed again, back to his gloomy state.

How much he wants to escape from all of this, he wanted to forget everything but then he wasn't confident enough if his heart still has the capacity to work properly the next time.

"Can I call you Oppa?"

Sarah's question woke him back to his senses and he looked back. "Oppa? Okay sure." He answered casually and leaned his forearms on the table. "Oppa." Sarah called and he turned with a forced a smile. "Hm?" He asked and he saw how Sarah bit her lower lip while grinning. "Can we be friends?" She asked and fiddled with her fingers shyly on the edge of the table. Baekhyun let out a small chuckle while looking back. "Well then, could you promise Oppa something?" He asked and Sarah's eyes lit up and quickly nodded. "Because I work on TV, you shouldn’t just spread to people about our friendship alright because that will put you to trouble. Do you want that? Even Haneul doesn't say anything so that he won't be involved." Baekhyun explained and Sarah nodded right away. "Yes yes, I promise. So we friends now?" Sarah asked and she earned a nod from Baekhyun. "Wah~ I'm so happy." She cooed and clapped her hands gently.

"Why are you happy?"

"Nothing..." Sarah answered with a wide grin while her upper body was moving from left to right like a bored kid. "Okay." Baekhyun replied briefly before looking around the café. He was thinking of what to do to distract himself for the night and not think of Nabi at all. He wanted to move on because that's the right thing.

 

"Alright, how about..." He turned to the girl across him again and took his phone out. "Let's exchange phone numbers since we're friends." He said and pushed his phone across the table. Sarah's eyes lit up as she took her phone out right away and pushed it towards him. "Y-yes, we're friends..." She said. Baekhyun nodded in between chuckle and grabbed the girl's phone to type in his number. Just as he turned it on, he was welcomed by an Iron Man wallpaper. He covered his mouth to hold himself up from laughing before unlocking it. After placing his number there, he pushed it back towards Sarah and was surprised to see her even taking a selfie for the Caller I.D. "Here~" She finished afterwards and gave it to him. "You're silly." He said and chuckled while putting his phone back into his bag.

 "By the way, do you have girlfriend?" Sarah then asked in which Baekhyun shook his head quickly. "None right now, I'm kinda busy." He answered. "But girlfriend cheer busy boyfriend up so it's okay, right?" Sarah asked. Baekhyun couldn't help but to smile at how innocent she spoke, how good would it be if what she said was true but to his experience, it was different.

 "What if the girlfriend's busy too?" He asked. "Then boyfriend and girlfriend give cheer to each other." Sarah explained. "Oppa, don't worry. If you're busy and tired, you talk to me and I will cheer you." She added and grinned. Baekhyun just heaved a sigh as he forced a smile again - it wasn't easy to force yourself to enjoy when all you want was to lock yourself in your room and cry, but he successfully did it.

"Sure, thanks, that's so nice of you."
