Chapter 4

Friendly Competition

 

 

 

 

A few days after the last meeting, Yoseob got a text from an unknown number.

-Yoseob-ssi?-        

"Nugu?" he whispered.

"Oppa..."

"Yah, Kim Yojin."

"Mwo? Did you get Unnie's text? I gave her your number."

Yoseob started choking.

"What number?"

Yojin told him the phone number.

It matched the unknown person EXACTLY.

"Wae?"

Yoseob stared at his cousin.

"Yah! Do you want Oppa to die?! I can't talk to a pretty girl!"

"That's why you're texting her. DUH!! Use KakaoTalk. You don't have to ACTUALLY talk to her. You can get to know her this way."

"Aww...my Yojinnie is SO SMART!~" he said pinching her cheeks.

"Ara. You love me, don't you?"

Yoseob pulled Yojin close and kissed her forehead.

"You have your moments." he said. "Why didn't I think of this?"

"You're not me, that's why. I'm just smarter than Oppa."

"Yep...moment is gone. Aish...shoo!"

"Oppa, I'm kidding!" Yojin laughed. "I can see how much you like Unnie. I think you should have a fair shot too. Do you love me again, Oppa?"

"Always." he said kissing her forehead. "You're my Yojinnie, I can't help it."

“Hmm..should I give Unnie, Kikwang Oppa’s number too?”

Yoseob narrowed his eyes at her.

“You want to die?”

“You’re right.” She nodded.

“Good girl!~” he said patting her head.

“Yeah, Unnie probably gave her number to him on her own.”

“YOU ! Oppa was going to go feed you meat…but now…YOU CAN STARVE!” He shouted, pointing his finger at her.

Yojin stuck out her tongue at him.

Yoseob added ______ to his friends list on KakaoTalk.

 

-KimYojinnie

Unnie, how is your shoot going?

 

-

It's boring without my Yojinnie here. What are you doing without me?

 

-KimYojinnie

          I'm bugging my Oppa.

 

-

Yoseob-ssi?

 

-KimYojinnie

Yep!  ^^

 

-

Did he happen to get my text?

 

“Aah, of course Unnie is curious.” Yojin snickered and looked a Yoseob.

He was contemplating whether to text back or not,

"Hi, how are you? No, that sounds to plain. Yo, What's up? What am I, a hip hop guy? NOPE."

He typed into a text box so many times, and then deleted it.

"Yeah...why text Unnie back when you could talk to yourself instead..." she muttered shaking her head.

 

-KimYojinnie

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yep! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 

-

What's funny?

 

-KimYojinnie

Oppa is. What are you doing after your shoot ends?

 

“Oh…he added me on KakaoTalk!~ Maybe I should send him another message?...” ______ whispered to herself.

 

-

    Yoseob-ssi, how is your day today?

 

-itzmeys

I like it so far.

 

-

  Yojinnie gave me your number. I hope you don't mind :/    

       

-itzmeys

Not at all.

 

"I mean it." he whispered. "NOT...AT...ALL!"

"Eww...are you flirting already? Aigoo, you're shy in person, but on SNS...you become player Seob Oppa? Yah!! How come Unnie isn't replying to MY messages? Is she replying to yours?"

"Ne."

"NOT FAIR! I'm her Yojinnie!"

"Yeah, but she knows you, right?"

"Of course."

"Enough said. Yah, do you ever get tired of Oppa?"

"ANIYO, never!~~"

"See?! Yah...you're not being sarcastic are you?"

"Maybe. Maybe not."

 

-

Good. I've been wanting to talk to you ^^

 

-itzmeys

Me too. The words flow easier like this. I can actually say things.

 

-itzmeys

The only problem is...someone is whining, next to me. D:

 

"Add me to a KakaoTalk chat!!!" Yojin whined.

"Nope." he said, continuing to type.

"Awww WAEYO?!?"

"You'll get in the way!"

"Nuh uh! Unnie loves me! She always texts me when she's on a break from her shoots."

 

-

Aww...tell her that I miss her and I love her.

 

"She said she hates you and she never wants to see you again. Sorry Yojinnie." Yoseob said, giving her a sympathetic look.

"LIAR!!!!" she shouted back.

"Nuh uh!~ She did!"

“Oppa!!~~~”

Yoseob and ______ continued to chat for a while.

By that time, Yojin was entertaining herself by taking selcas.

He looked at the time and a couple of hours had passed.

“What the…?! We were talking for THAT long? In your face Lee Kikwang!~” he shouted to no one.

It felt like they were more comfortable talking after texting each other.

 

-

Yoseob-ssi, what are you up to today?

 

-itzmeys

I'm going out with the guys soon. Manly bonding.

 

-

Manly bonding? ㅋㅋㅋ don't you go off and become too manly, Arasseo?

 

-itzmeys

Aww Wae? ㅠㅡㅠ I can't be manly? I'm sad.

 

"Why can't I be manly?! Kikwangie can, but I can't?"

"Precisely..." Yojin said.

"Go away!~"

“I will….eventually. I DO have a life, you know?”

“Aah, Jinjja? I wouldn’t know, you’ve been staring at me all day long.”

“I’m just waiting for Oppa to give my best friend back.”

Yoseob grinned and shook his head.

“Shireo! I feel like we know each other better. I’m probably equal to Kikwangie, right now.

 

-

 I don't mean it like that. :) Yoseob-ssi wouldn't be Yoseob-ssi if he became too manly.

 

-

Cuteness is better than overly manliness ^^

 

-itzmeys

Arasseo. Just don't mistake me for Yojinnie's twin. That's the worst insult ever.

 

“Yah, Yojinnie.”

“Hmm?”

“You just said that you have a life…why are you still here?”

“I’m bored. I thought Oppa could entertain me.”

“Did I?” he asked.

Yojin snickered and nodded her head.

“You have NO IDEA!~” she laughed. “If you make that many expressions, while talking to Unnie on KakaoTalk…I can only imagine how you’d be in person. There was this one point, when your legs were spread out and you wiggled them like the tentacles of a squid. Did you notice?”

“Mwo...?” he mumbled. “YAH…shut up!~ I have to go meet the guys.”

Yojin made a face.

“See, Oppa? You have your own friends.” She pouted.

“That’s what you get for giving her my number, isn’t it? Tough luck for you!~” Yoseob teased.

“You took up all of Unnie’s free time! She’ll be busy later.”

 

___________________________________________________________________________________

 

 ______ sat down to watch her dongsaeng's dance group practice.

"Yoo Changhyun is so loud." she giggled.

The boy was shouting, randomly, throughout the entire practice.

"YAH! YAH!! HA! YOO CHANGHYUN!!~~~ YAH! YAH!!"

"I need to cut his sugar intake down a notch." she sighed.

"If, by 'a notch', you mean 'completely'. Noona, you have your time with him and then, I get him the rest of the time. It's not easy leading such a hyper boy."

______ nodded in agreement.

"Ara, Minsoo-ya, Ara." she laughed. "I feel for you."

She patted his back.

"Yah!" Ricky whined, overhearing their conversation.

"Aegi-ya, Saranghae!~" ______ exclaimed, making a huge heart with her arms.

"Noona..." he pouted.

"Wae? Isn’t that what you do, all the time?” she teased. “Ah, look at the time. I have to go to a photo shoot, I'll see you later."

Ricky shook his head.

"Andwae! You can’t go, noona! You just got here! You had a photo shoot earlier.”

"Changhyunnie, I have to. We need the money."

"Aww...” he whined. I’ll walk you to a cab."

"Aww...my little Aegi!~" she giggled, pinching his cheeks. "You're a big man now?"

"Minus the 'big' and 'man' part." L Joe teased.

"L Joe Hyung is mean. Most of the time, he doesn't even remember my name...and now he's making short jokes."

"Look who's talking." CAP said, patting L Joe's head. "How's the air down there? Can you breathe okay?"

______ shook her head.

“Aigoo, teenage boys.” She sighed. “I love my little dorks. Yah, Bang Minsoo, don’t make these boys practice too hard. You may be full of energy, as young boys, but you need to rest.”

“Arasseo, Noona.” CAP said.

“That’s what ice cream is for.” Niel shouted. “We don’t need rest….we just need sugar. LOTS OF IT!~”

______ gave him a look.

It was the kind of look that a mother gave a kid, that didn’t need words to make the point.

“Ahn Daniel…”

“Arasseo…”

“Hyungs!~” Ricky whined. “What will we do NOW? I wanted ice cream!”

“Noona, I’ll make sure they eat real food. I won’t return, that kid, to you all hopped up on sugar.” CAP said motioning towards Ricky.

“Minsoo-ya, Kamsa!~” ______ said.

She waved goodbye to the boys, and walked out the door with Ricky.

“Aigoo, my baby is all sweaty!” ______ nagged, like a mother. “Here, drink some water. I don’t want you getting dehydrated, arasseo?”

She pulled a water bottle out of her bag, and handed it to Ricky.

“Arasseo, Noona. Kamsahamnida!~”

______ smiled and ruffled his hair.

“Dry your hair too, arasseo? I don’t want my Dongsaeng to catch a cold.” She said, feeling the dampness in his hair caused by the sweat.

“Yes, Noona.” he said with a smile. “I don’t want Noona to be too stressed out. I’m trying to stay healthy for Noona. You already have enough on your plate.”

“I love you.” She giggled, slipping her hand into his.

“NADO!~~~~” He squealed, swinging their hands as they skipped through the park.

Yoseob was hanging out with the guys, having a game of soccer in the park.

He collapsed on the ground, sprawling himself across the field.

"Aigoo~"

"Let's just lie in the park until people come to check if we’re dead or alive.” Hyunseung sighed.

"Yeah, I'm too tired to move. Yah, why are we playing soccer when it's so hold out anyway?!" Yoseob whined.

"Better question is...why would you rather lay in the hot sun when we can go cool down with, a bowl of patbingsu or something?"

"I don't even know!!" he grumbled. “The heat is getting to me.”

He suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Oh, isn't that ______-ssi?" Hyunseung asked, hearing her voice too.

"EODI?!?"

Both Kikwang and Yoseob jumped up so fast they almost got whiplash.

"Kikwangie, why are you so excited?" Hyunseung asked.

"I heard that they were flirting the other night." Doojoon announced. “Right?”

"We were not." Kikwang protested. "We were just talking. She's really nice."

“Uh huh, you saw how pretty she is, didn’t you?”

“YES! I’m not blind.”

“Well, if you’re flirting and smiling….I don’t think you can see.”  Hyunseung said.

Yoseob sighed.

'Why does everyone choose him?' he thought. 'I can never compete with Kikwang.'

______ started to laugh, causing both of the boy’s hearts to flutter.

"Her laugh..." Kiseob couple said in unison.

Junhyung chuckled.

"Oh shiz..."

"Hyungs..." Dongwoon gasped.

"Whoa...JINX!! You owe each other sodas!!!~~" Hyunseung shouted.

"That was....awkward!~" Doojoon said in a sing-song voice.

"AEGI-YA, YOU ARE TOO CUTE!!!!~~" she squealed, wrapping her arms around a boy. "I'll see you later?"

"Ne!~ Saranghae!" he squealed, kissing her cheek.

"Nado, Saranghae." she called after him as he walked off.

“AIGOO!~ I’m so tired!~” Junhyung sighed.

The other members stared at him.

“WAE? You refused to play! Why would YOU be tired?” Yoseob asked.

“Keeping score is hard work!”

“Arasseo.” He chuckled, laying his head on his lap. “If you say so.”

“Hyung…” Dongwoon sighed, shaking his head.

______ turned around.

She was just about to send Yoseob a message on KakaoTalk, when she heard their voice.

“Sure it is.” Kikwang said, pretending to believe him.

‘Oh, that sounded like Kikwang-ssi.’ She thought.

“It is!!~” Junhyung insisted.

"Omo, Annyeonghaseyo!!!" she shouted.  She got, a little, distracted by their appearance. 'Whoa...they look like beasts, all drenched in sweat. Aigoo, control your hormones Woman!'

Yoseob sat up instantly.

“Did I drool on you?” he whispered to Junhyung. “No, right?”

“Aigoo. I want to face-palm so badly, right now."
