You've got to be ting me.

 

Jae Mi felt her heart rate jump with rage as she looked at the luggage on the floor.

 

It hadn't even been a week and her parents had already planned to rip her away from the somewhat

peaceful life she had.

 

"No" she said her voice cold.

 

He father cocked and eyebrow. "No what?"

 

Shaking her head she repiled "I;m not going with you to wherever the hell you're off to!"

 

"Hwang Jae Mi! Watch your language!" Her mother scolded.

 

Her father ran a hand over his face sighing.

 

"We had a feeling this would happen and your mother and I had a long talk,

 

would you be alright if we laft you here when we go back to China for a while?"

 

Jae Mi stunned. 

 

She didn't even know how to reply.

 

She was happy that her parents were taking her feelings in account but the thought of being alone for

weeks...

 

was a bit...scary.

 

Jae MI bit her lower lip in thought.

 

"I'm glad that you thought about my opinion, and I do want to stay here but..."

 

Her mother nodded "We know it's a bit unsettling to stay here by yourself,

 

but if you're not comfortable we've called up and old friend and you could stay there temporarily."

 

This seemed like her best option "Alright I'll go there."

 

Her father nodded smiling "That's my girl, stick to your guns."

 

Jae Mi rolled her eyes "Appa~ Anyways who are these people?"

 

"Oh don't you remember the Yoons?"

 

Yoon.

 

As in Dujun's family? No...that's not possible....?

 

"Oh..okay.."

 

"We'll to go their place for tonight anyway, your mother and I are leaving tomorrow so go pack your

things."

 

Jae Mi's jaw dropped  "You're leaving tonight?! I thought-"

 

"You know how work is for us."  Her mother stated.

 

"Oh, okay then.."

 

When they arrived at the house only a few blocks away, Jae Mi looked at it in awe.

 

Compared to all the others in the block it was like a mansion.

 

Count on her parents to be friends with these people.

 

Jae Mi rang the doorbell and waited.

 

The door swung open and no other than Dujun stared at her in the face.

 

"Jae Mi..?"

 

She smiled awkwardly "hi...."

 

He then looked at her parents and stepped aside to let them in.

 

"Omo you must be Dujun, look how you've grown!" Jae Mi's mother exclaimed.

 

"And this must be Jae Mi!" another woman exclaimed, Dujun's mother.

 

She hugged Jae Mi tightly much to her surprise.

 

She took her face in her hand and examied it.

 

"Omo you've grown so beautifully, just like Se-.....your mother."

 

"Umma, don't do that." Dujun said, obviously irritated.

 

For some reason Jae Mi thought Mrs. Yoon was going to say another name.

 

At the dinner table the four adults were happily catting and catching up.

 

Meanwhile the two teens were awkwardly picking at their food and examining the table cloth.

 

Jae Mi decided to try and break the weird tension beteen them.

 

"So, how's...stuff"

 

Yeah that wasn't awkward at all.

 

Dujun met her gaze. "Oh it was good, y'know the usual."

 

"That's good." she continued "How is everyone else? Hyunseung, Dongwwon, Yoseob,...Junhyung...and

K-Kikwang?"

 

She mentally slapped herself for stuttering on Kikwang's name.

 

Jae Mi swore she could she Dujun's jaw clench a bit, maybe it was her imagination?

 

"They're the same...well maybe not all of them, Junhyung's stilla  bit pissed at you."

 

She sighed "I could've guessed that. What's with him? Why does he hate me so much?"

 

"He doesn't hate you, he's just a bit defensive around new people...he's had some troubles in the past.."

 

Dujun explained.

 

"I guess...." Jae Mi replied thinking. What had happened to Junhyung to make him that way?

 

"Ah good, you two are getting along." Dujun's father commented smiling.

 

"That's wonderful considering Jae Mi will be around her for a while."

 

Dujun coughed a bit. "W-what do you mean Appa?"

 

"She's going to be living here for a while since her parents have to travel for business."

 

"When were you going to tell me this!" He exclaimed, standing up.

 

"I believe I did just now." His father said flatly "Is there a problem son?"

 

Dujun looked from his parents then to Jae Mi. 

 

She noted his clenched jaw and fists.

 

Without another word he stalked off.

 

"Dujun!" His mother called after him.

 

There was a loud 'slam' as he shut his door.

 

"Don't mind him...he' probably feeling a bit shocked."

 

"Jae Mi why don't I show you to your room and you can get settled." Mrs. Yoon offered.

 

"Well I think we better get going." Mr .Hwang said.

 

Jae Mi went to her parents and hugged them both.

 

"Have a safe trip."

 

Her mother smiled "You behave...and keep up with schoolwork."

 

Jae Mi smiled "I will."

 

She waved to them as they drove off.

 

Mrs. Yoon walked her down the hall and the last door on the right was her room.

 

It was nice, had a queen sized bed, a wooden closet and desk.

 

Jae Mi wanted to find Dujun and see of her was alright.

 

She looked and the second door to her left after leaving her room had a 'Do not enter' sign.

 

She assumed it was Dujun's room.

 

She knocked. "Go away." It was Dujun.

 

She sighed "can I just talk to you please."

 

There was a pause. Jae Mi thought to turn and leave just when he opened the door.

 

"Fine, some in."

 

Jae Mi looked around. This was the first time she'd ever been in a guy's room.

 

Dujun's was proably the nicest room she'd ever been in period.

 

She assumed since he was a guy he'd be a mess, but it was more tidy than hers at home.

 

His bed with black sheets was made, there was and acoustic guitar beside it, on one wall was a closet

and another a bookshelf.

 

The walls had posters of bands, some she knew, some she didn't, there were also rcords hanging as

well.

 

It was obvious why Dujun went to Cube Academy, he wanted to be a musician.

 

She took a seat on the edge of his bed and he pulled up a chair.

 

"So?" He asked.

 

"Oh yeah," Jae Mi was snapped out of her thoughts by his voice.

 

"Well, I'm sorry if I'm intruding in your house but I didn't want to stay at my house since no one's there,

 

but I promise I won't be a burden and I'll stay out of your way."

 

He blinked at her.

 

"Don't misunderstand Jae Mi, I wasn't mad at you or your family, it was just that my parents never take

my opnion,

 

and they end up springing things like this on me out of nowhere, I'd be fine with it if-"

 

"They just let you know before." Jae Mi continued finishing his sentence.

 

"I know how you feel, my whole life was like that. My parents would never tell me where we were going,

 

and when I did find out it would be too late."

 

Dujun nodded in understanding.

 

Then I noticed him staring at me..no my necklace to be exact.

 

He reached out and grabbed one of the charms...the soccer ball one.He

 

looked up at me, "Where did you get this."

 

He was so close I could smell the mint on his breath.

 

I felt myself flush a little.

 

"I-I don't know, I've had it for as long as I could remember."

 

"I...think I've seen it before somewhere."

 

I pushed him back slightly and stood up.

 

"W-well it was nice talking to you, goodnight!" My voice shaking slightly.

 

I left and walked back to my room, shutting the door behind me.

 

I let out a huge sigh of relief.

 

I wasn't used to being around people my age this long....

 

or that close....

 

Maybe he did remember me, but what was there to remember really?
