Chapter 68
„Oh, come on. You're kidding!", Donghae said while laughing hard. I shook my head.
"No that's the truth! I'm not a liar!"
"Till Taemin learns mathematics from you he is good at it?" Donghae shook his head. I was a little surprised that he didn't know about that fact. I thought I had told him before.
"Don't be mad at me but somehow this is so…", he made a gesture because the right word was missing. I laughed.
"I know it's kind of… I don't know the word, either." We both laughed. I had to be careful that the water in the glass in my hand staid in it.
"Then, what's about the Korean lessons? Can you keep up?" I shrugged.
"I'm not that good. I'm happy if I find the right words to explain what I want to say during the lessons. The tests for me are different. Of course I can't write the same one like a Korean person in my age." I thought really hard that I hadn't talked about school with him yet. Bur honestly said, school wasn't a that nice topic. "But please let's change the topic. I don't have the need to talk about school!" Donghae smiled and looked a bit apologizing.
"I'm sorry Daesang. I can imagine that the topic isn't so nice for you. And now that my thoughts come to my school time I would like to skip this topic." Damn, something about Donghae's school time would have been interesting to know.
We turned to our meals which were placed in front of us on the table. Donghae had a pizza and I a plate of pasta with a white sauce.
"Would you let me try your meal?", Donghae asked after a little silence. I nodded.
"Of course. You wanna give me your fork?", I answered and took his fork. I was happy that I could eat with a knife and a fork again. I hadn't done this for more than a half year! This restaurant was owned by a real Italian man. His wife was a really nice person –also Italian- and was happy to see a European person –me- here in their restaurant. She even spoke a little German –only one or two sentences. It felt really good to hear and speak my mother tongue though it was just a single sentence I said and heard. Donghae had been totally fascinated by the sound of the German language so that I had to teach him the two sentences I said:

Hello- Guten Tag

How are you?- Wie geht es dir?

Hearing him saying these short sentences made me laugh a lot.
"Don't laugh at me, Daesang! It's not that easy to pronounce it and I'm not a talent of languages like you are!", Donghae said offended.
I warped the fork with some pasta and gave it back to Donghae. His reaction was that it was tasty. Then I tried his pizza. It tasted like the one I always used to eat in Germany at the little Italian restaurant we had in my little hometown.

It was dark outside. Though it was nearly summer, the sun had set and only the streetlights made it possible to see the way you were walking. Here and there a car overtook us but there were no people on the street even though it was Friday night. Only Donghae's and my laugh sounded through the dark streets. Normally I would hide my hair and face with a hood and turn on my iPod while watching the streets and shadows closely but today I did nothing of it. Donghae was with me and I felt very safe. He had taken my hand –it surprised me really- and we were walking like this down the pavement. Suddenly the school appeared in front of me and I noticed that we already had to say good-bye. I felt a bit sad. It had been long ago since I had such a nice day with Donghae. Well, it was just a single evening but it was something special.
"I think we should do this again", Donghae said when we stood in front of the door of the boarding-school. I smiled.
"I'd love to do this again." He smiled one of his special smiles and it felt like he only did it for me.
"Then I'll see you some when, Ute", he said and hugged me for saying good-bye. My thoughts got caught by his words. He mostly said 'Daesang' to me. Now saying my name gave me a completely new feeling.
"Yes, we'll see each other. If there is the time", I said while looking into his brown eyes after the hug.
It looked like Donghae thought about something and just when I wanted to ask if there was anything wrong, he kissed me on my forehead and left me totally astonished.
