Chapter 16
Biting My LipsEunhyuk’s POV
“How does your ice-cream taste?” I asked as I took another bite on my absolutely horrible tasting “blue mountain” ice-cream.
“I love it.” She her lips as she said.
“It tastes horrible…” I said softly as I played with it. “I prefer strawberry ice-cream.”
Then, she hit my arm hardly and took another bite of her ice-cream.
“My father used to buy this ice-cream for me when I was young. And this will always be the place where I get to eat it…”
“But it’s a cemetery…” I whispered and I looked around me.
Although it was in the evening but…
You know… Things may happen right?
Wait a minute…
Why would an old man sell ice-creams here??!!
_____ has been eating this ice-cream since she was young… That means this old man…
WHY IS HE STILL SELLING HERE??!!
Oh no…
Is he a…
NO WAY!! NO WAY!!!
“Yup. It’s a cemetery…”
Then I shivered.
“C-Can we g-g-go home now??” I looked around me when I said it.
“No.”
“Why??!!” I lost my voice when I said it. I looked at her scared.
“You’ll accompany me to see my umma.” She said and she stood up.
Her umma?
“Without flowers?”
“Umma hates flowers.” She shook her head. Then she walked up the hill.
“W-Wait… F-F-For m-me…” I said breathlessly as I ran to her after I threw the empty ice-cream cup into the trash bin.
That ice-cream just… Yucks!!!
“Why are you weaker than me?!” She walked down the hill and grabbed my arm and we went up the hill together.
Damn it!!
Should I push her hand away?!!
But… She will be hurt if I push her hand away…
AISH!!! STOP BEATING SO FAST ALREADY!!!!
I hit my chest hardly and thought to myself.
“Are you okay?”
“Y-Yes.” I cleared my throat and took a deep breath and continued to walk up the hill.
“A-Are we there yet?!” I took a deep breath and asked.
She smiled at me and nodded her head.
Then she knelt in front of a tomb.
“Umma… I’m here to see you…” She said and she smiled at the picture of her umma.
I guess she forgot to introduce me.
I cleared my throat and she looked at me.
“Oh ya. This is Lee Eunhyuk.” She pulled my pants and said to her umma.
I knelt down beside her and saw her umma’s picture.
_____ looks a lot like her umma!!
So… So beautiful…
“Annyeong ajumma…” I bowed and smiled at the picture.
“I know what you are thinking umma; he’s not my boy friend. It’s such a waste that he’s gay right?” ______ looked at me and I narrowed my eyes at her.
“Stop using the ‘g’ word as an adjective will ya’” I said loudly at her then I quickly cleared my throat.
Damn it Eunhyuk!!!! Have you forgotten that you are in front of her mother??!!
“I apologize ajumma, I didn’t mean to be rude…” I waved my hands in front of her tomb and said.
“Don’t accept his apology umma, he has been bullying me every day!!” She pushed my hands and said to her umma.
As usual, her umma’s reaction was… just a smile.
Thank God the picture didn’t turn to an angry face!!!
“No. I was just doing my job!!” I put my hands on my waist and said.
“Nonsense!! You even threatened me to marry you!! Gay!!” She shouted but in a joking way.
“Stop saying that!!!” I shouted back.
“I just love to say it!! Gay!! Gay!! Ga-”
“Shh!!! Do you hear that?!” I covered with my palms and whispered.
_____ shook her head.
I guess that she’s afraid already.
“We’ll visit you some other day ajumma, annyeong…” I quickly pulled her up and ran down the hill.
I didn’t know that I was holding her hand all these while until I wanted to open the car door for her.
“I-I’m sorry…” I quickly took my hand away and said.
Is she blushing?
Oh. My. God.
What did I do??!!
