Chapter 21

Friendly Competition

 

 

 

"So...how went the party?"

______ smiled.

"Terrible."

"Why are you smiling then?"

"Having friends there, made it less terrible."

"Still terrible though."

"I was in a bad mood."

"You're never in a bad mood." he raised an eyebrow at her.

"You should've just come."

"Jieun invited to a party that wasn't even her party!"

"I know."

"I'm not going to crash a party! That would be rude! I have manners."

"Around everyone but Me." she said "What are you up to?" she laughed.

"Bugging you!~ Really though, how did the party go?"

"YAH!! Quit making me relive the bad memories! The party was horrible! Want to get hit?"

"Geurae!" he shouted, shielding his beautiful face.

"Yah, I have to go meet a friend." she said.

"Arasseo." he nodded. "I'm not a friend. I get it…meanie"

"You're my best GUY friend. She's my best GIRL friend. Plus, I have to pick up Uri Changhyunnie."

Jaehyo nodded.

"The world knows how important he is to you." He chuckled.

"DUH!"

“If it’s for your brother, I could bear set you free.”

______ rolled her eyes.

“You’re so weird.” She giggled, playfully shoving him away. “Get going then!”

"______-ah...." A familiar voice said.

She turned around and blinked.

"J-Junhyung-ssi?!?!"

Jaehyo turned around.

"Oh...Hyung?!"

"Jaehyo?"

Junhyung looked at him, then ______.

He looked at them both, as he tried to figure things out.

"You know him?" ______ asked Jaehyo.

"What did I tell you?! Yah, Yoo ______, I know EVERYONE."

She rolled her eyes.

"BABO-YA!!" she pointed at him. "You're annoying!"

"Hyung, how do you know Yoo ______?"

"We're new friends. We met through the guy she likes."

“MWOYA?!?!?! “ ______ exclaimed. “I…”

“I’m just kidding. He’s a friend of mine.”

Jaehyo nodded.

______ blushed.

"Cheongmal?! HA!! You have a guy that you like?!"

"Aww...you're so smart!~~" she giggled, patting his head. She shook her head. "Duh..."

"Don't touch the hair."

"How do you two know each other? How is it that you know EVERYONE?"

"I'm a very social person."

"You're a very socially AWKWARD person."

"That too. I know Junhyung Hyung from years ago. We were good friends."

"Aaah, is that from when you had an awful dream of becoming an idol?"

"I can sing!!"

"Sure...I believe you." she nodded.

"YAH!!"

She smiled.

"Yoo ______, is Kim Yojin still playing matchmaker?!" Junhyung asked.

______ laughed.

"I love my Yojinnie...BUT...she's insane."

"It runs in the family. She nearly bit his head off. I had to stand 40 feet away so the flames coming out of her pupils wouldn’t hit me too. Kim Yojin’s temper is like Yang Yoseob.”

"Well, you should've seen my Dongsaeng latch onto him.”

"We went to the dance performance to support Kikwangie. The cute boy is your dongsaeng?"

"That's him. The cheekbones and angry brows."

"Aah, I think he has a man crush on Yang Yoseob. From what I saw, he was so interested in impressing him.”

"Aah, Yang Yoseob is mine.” She grumbled. “Well, Uri dongsaeng hasn’t had an older male that he can look up to. He’s just letting it all out at once.”

"Aish! Just leave me out of the conversation!~" Jaehyo nagged.

_______ smiled.

“SORRY!~” she stuck out her tongue at him. “I still can’t believe you know each other. You know, it was Junhyung-ssi’s party that you refused to be my date for.”

“JINJJA?! Hyung, the party was YOURS?”

Junhyung nodded.

“Yeah, WAE? You didn’t want to come to my party? YAH, Ahn Jaehyo…”

“Aah, Mianhae…Lee Jieun was just so pushy about it.”

“Seriously! That girl caused A LOT OF DRAMA!!~~” Junhyung sighed. “______ you were pissed.”

“Yeah…” she puffed her cheeks out. “I was fine taking Kikwang-ssi though. He was probably more fun that Ahn Jaehyo would be.”

She side-eyed Jaehyo.

“YAH! if I knew it was Hyung’s party…I would’ve gone!”

______ shook her head.

“No, you’re a terrible best friend. Who said I wanted you as my date?” She told him.

“You did.”

“PSH!” she scoffed. “You’re always ditching me. I have to go meet my Yojinnie. Female best friends are SOOOOOOO much better than male ones. Ae-Yeon is waiting for you.”

Jaehyo blinked at her.

“Nugu?”

“Aion…your virtual girlfriend.”

“You confused the hell out of me!”

“What’s new…” she laughed.

“Troll me all you want.” He warned. “I just might….”

“Ignore it?”

Jaehyo sighed and nodded.

“Yeah…probably.”

______ gave him a quick hug.

“Jaehyo-ya. Tell your parents and Oppa that I said hi.”

“Will do.” He said looking at the time. “Next time, you’re going to tell me about the guy you like, right?”

“Not a chance.” She said with a grin.

After Jaehyo left, she looked at Junhyung.

“You know, if you brought Ahn Jaehyo as your date, to my party….” He started. “…Yang Yoseob would have been dead. I mean, he would’ve been so depressed and his self-esteem would be zero.”

______ smiled.

“Yoseob has nothing to worry about.” she told him. “I do like Yang Yoseob a lot.”

“Ara.” Junhyung chuckled. “So, are you going to see him?”

“I don’t know…” she shrugged. “I hope so. I have to meet with Yojin though.”

“She’s drag you over to Yoseobie, I can promise you that.” Junhyung laughed. “I’ll see you around?”

______ headed to pick up Ricky and the two of them met with Yojin.

“"Unnie, let's go to lunch."

"With me too?" Ricky asked hopefully.

"Of course. We're not going to leave you home."

"You don't trust me?!"

"It's not that. I just thought you would want to eat."

"I DO!!!" Ricky shouted. "is Yoseob Hyung coming?"

Yojin looked at ______.

"I see what you mean."

______ nodded.

"Yep..."

"Ani, Yoseobie Oppa volunteered to help out my Aunt and Uncle today. Aah, I know just the place to go for lunch."

“Aaah, Junhyung-ssi was right.” She muttered.

“What did you say, Unnie?”

______ just smiled and they went to Yoseob's parents’ restaurant.

Ricky saw Yoseob sitting down talking to his mother.

"Yoseob Hyungnim!~~" Ricky squealed.

Yoseob looked up.

"Ricky-ya!" he smiled when he saw who it was.

Yoseob stood up to greet the boy.

"Geez, no need to run, Ricky." Yojin said. "Oppa isn't going anywhere."

Yoseob stared at her.

As much as he loved his cousin, all he cared about was Ricky being there.

Well, and where ______ could be.

"Yojinnie is here." his mother said. "Who is the little boy."

"Ricky is ______ Unnie's dongsaeng."

"Annyeonghaseyo!! My name is Yoo Changhyun!" he introduced himself politely.

"Aigoo! Such a handsome young boy. So cheerful and polite."

"Uri Noona raised me well!" he stated proudly.

"Hmm...why do YOU have him? Yah, did you kidnap the kid?" Yoseob whispered to Yojin.

"According to ______ Unnie, he’s always excited to see you. Probably more excited than SHE is."

"Speaking of ______, where is she? Back to my first question...why do YOU have him?"

He looked over at Ricky, who was looking through the menu.

“Food!~” his eyes were glued to the menu as the drool threatened to trickle out of his mouth.

In a matter of seconds, Yoseob's mother was feeding him and letting him sample foods, then she returned to the kitchen to cook more.

______ entered the restaurant.

She looked around and then spotted the three.

"Annyeonghaseyo Yoseob-ssi."

"Annyeonghaseyo."

Ricky looked at them and rolled his eyes.

"Uh...Noona?"

"Hmm?"

"Why so formal?!?! You're dating, right?! What's with the 'Yoseob-ssi'?! Open up!"

Yojin giggled a bit.

______shoved a mandoo in his mouth.

"Eat...SHHH!"

"He's right." Yoseob chimed in.  "We're too formal. Yah, we're the same age. Just a few months apart. Let's talk comfortably."

"Mhm...coming from the person who couldn’t find his voice until recently." she laughed.

"Yah..."

"Arasseo. Yoseob-ah?" she agreed.

"Better." he chuckled.

"I'm surprised that you have a voice, Yoseob-ah."

Yoseob laughed.

"I was too shy to speak at first. I'm glad we started to talk over text and KakaoTalk first...or you wouldn't be interested in me."

"Nado."

"YUCK!~ I'm eating!" Yojin and Ricky both whined.

"I'm losing my appetite." Yojin said.

"Me too. Cut the mushy-ness!”

"You two are the ones who wanted this, besides us!" ______ said.

"Yeah, Yojinnie don't influence the boy."

Ricky frantically shook his head.

“ANIYO!~ After I’m done eating…you may proceed.” He smiled.

"Ricky would you be on Noonas side or.."

"Hyungnim." He said without hesitation.

"YAH! Yoo Changhyun!” Yojin scolded. “Let me finish. Noona or..."

"Yoseob Hyungnim." he interrupted again.

"Awwww...come sit next to me!~" Yoseob said shoving Yojin off the chair to make room for Ricky.

Ricky gladly did as he was told.

"Unnie...." Yojin pouted. “Did you see what they did?! What side are YOU on?”

______ threw her hands in the air.

"I'm on the side that keeps me safe and alive. Don't fight over the baby!"

"Ricky-ya, don't you love me anymore?" Yojin frowned.

"Sure, but Yoseob Hyungnim is more daebak."

"Unnie...you'd choose him, wouldn't you."

"It's the dimples." ______ giggled. "Plus, he just became my boyfriend. Yoseob-ah!~"

She tested it out.

"Ne!~"

"Your OTHER customers are waiting." she giggled.

Yoseob jumped up to see a line at the door waiting to be seated.

"Aah, mianhaeyo!!! How did I not notice that?!" he bowed. He apologized continuously.

“You were too distracted by Unnie…DUH!” Yojin shook her head.

"MIANHAE! I'll be right with you." He announced to the customers.

"What a dork..." Yojin laughed.

"He's so cute!~" ______ giggled. "Clumsy and cute."

Yoseob came back after the rush died down.

"Ricky-ya, eat well! That way, you'll grow to be taller than me."

 He put more food in front of the younger boy.

Yojin wanted to comment so badly.

Yoseob glared at her when he saw her open .

"I love you, Yojinnie, but if you make a comment..." he warned.

Yoseob's mother tapped Yojin’s shoulder and pulled her aside.

"Yojin-ah, is that the girl that you brought to our dinner party, that one time?"

Yojin nodded.

"I'm so happy that Unnie and Oppa are getting closer." she smiled. "Oppa really likes Unnie."

"Does she like him too?"

Yojin grinned and nodded happily.

"Omona! Oppa has his first girlfriend!~” she squealed. “Aren’t they cute? I’m the best matchmaker…EVER!”

“One thing is for sure, you may be the LOUDEST!~” Yoseob grumbled at her. “If you’re going to talk, behind my back, keep the volume down!!!!”

“Oppa, if you hurt her…I’ll kill you. Just a warning! I’m sharing my best friend with you. You better be grateful.”

“Nuh uh, Noona.” Ricky spoke up. “I’m sharing my Noona with Hyungnim…and she’s sharing him with me.”

“AISH! Why is this child so cute?” Yojin picked Ricky’s cheeks.

“Noona!~” Ricky whined.

“Don’t hurt the kid!” Yoseob nagged getting in between his cousin and Ricky. So he’s cute. That’s why he chose ME as his role model.”

______ shook her head and stared at her lap.

“Hyungnim should give me aegyo lessons. I’m so glad you have a boyfriend with aegyo instead of an overly egotistical masculine one. Aegyo and sensitivity….is so much better. Hyungnim, will you help me?”

“You don’t need it…” ______ exclaimed. “I can’t deal with an Aegyo freak boyfriend AND an aegyo freak Dongsaeng. That’s just too much aegyo for me.”

Yojin made a face at Yoseob.

“Oppa, did you want me to take Ricky away so that you and Unnie can be alone?”

“Nah, you can go on your own.” Yoseob said pointing to the door. “The exit is there.”

Yojin narrowed her eyes at him.

“Yah, Unnie, can you protect Oppa?”

“Mwo?”

“Do you think you could protect him when I try to beat him up?”

“Try to.” Yoseob chuckled.

“Oppa, you should work because you’re not going to get paid.” Yojin stuck out her tongue at him.

“Who said I’m getting paid? I’m volunteering to work, with no pay. YAH, quit trying to act all tough because ______ is here.”

“Likewise.” She shot back. “You’re not the tough one. Unnie is tougher than you. Unnie, see, I told you you’re going to have to protect your girlfriend…err….I mean boyfriend.”

Yoseob nodded.

“______-ah, do you think you’ll miss her if she’s gone?”

“Yes. I mean, I have other best friends…BUT…not girl ones.”

“DON’T HURT NOONA! ______ Noona’s other best friend isn’t normal.”

“He’s never been normal. I don’t like normal. Isn’t that why I’m hanging out with all of you?” ______ said. “I don’t have normal people in my life…I prefer that.”

Yoseob tickled her.

“Yah!”

______ turned and kissed his cheek.

He turned red.

“I accept it.”

"AUNTY!!!! You should fire Oppa!" Yojin shouted. "He's not doing his job. He's too busy flirting with my best friend."
