CHAPTER 2

“This is his timetable and you just need to make sure he follows it, okay?” I nodded, receiving the square hardcover notebook from ahjumma. “Oh yeah! Haerin, you don’t have to worry much about Sehun, I’ve given him warning about being rude.”

I smiled gingerly while listening to ahjumma. Truthfully, ahjumma really did not need to worry, as I had planned for a pleasant lesson if Sehun is indeed going to behave rudely.

“Okay ma’am, I get everything. Don’t worry, I will take care of Sehun well.” Ahjumma nodded in triumph. Clearly, she was very happy with my confidence level. If only she knows how nervous I was…

“Thank you so much, Haerin. You don’t know how much I’m relieved that Sehun is in the right hands.” Ahjumma patted Sehun’s head while looking at her son with loving eyes.

Sehun on the other hand was busy playing Fruit Ninja while muttering some words that I seemed to not understand.

Ergh… whatever.

“Oh… you don’t have to worry about lunch. The maids will aid you with that.” I exhaled in relieve. Phew… I was so worried about cooking just now.

I can cook, okay! Yes… I’m a pro, but only when cooking ramyeon. Heh… please don’t judge, again.

“Okay, I have to leave now. I’ll be back at 7. Till then, have fun.” She hugged me and I returned it. “Sehunnie, I’m going now. Be nice to Haerin, okay?”

Sehun looked at his mother and smiles. “Okay omma! Be safe and don’t forget my pepero, okay?” Ahjumma chuckled, before she kissed his cheeks.

“Oh wait! Haerin, does your parent know you are here?” I froze. “Err… yeah. They told me that they are okay with it.” I felt bad for lying to ahjumma, but I didn't have the gut to tell my parents, and I had to lie that I am actually studying with my friends.

God, please forgive me for this. I love my parent and my stupid brother. I swear.

“Okay then… Sehun, remember my warnings. Be nice and play well with Haerin.” Sehun nodded while grinning and hugging his mother.

I must admit that he looked very cute when he smiled. His crescent eyes…

Wait!

What am I doing? Haerin! Please stop this madness.

Anyway… Sehun and I waved at ahjumma until her car disappeared from the compound before I turn to grab Sehun in the house.

I took the book ahjumma gave me and looked at his timetable, and it looked like it was time for breakfast. I sighed. Before I could do my job, I had to somehow bond with Sehun… but would he respond well? I frowned at that thought.

I went closer to Sehun who is sitting on the couch in the hall.

Clearing my throat, I greeted him. “Hello Sehun! Do you remember me? My name is Park Haerin, and I want to be your friend.” I bit my lips after I said that. Why was I so nervous? It was not like I’m confessing my love or what… but aish! His face made it so complicated for me to act in the way I should act to a kid.

I waited for his reaction, but to my dismay, Sehun just stare at me blankly. I sigh… what was I thinking? This boy was too far from my reach.

I was about to give up and serve breakfast, but suddenly… “Oh! I remember! You are Misae noona.” He laughed with his creepily deep voice again. Seriously, it sent shiver down my spine.

But wait… did he call me ‘Misae noona’? What the hell? My name is Haerin, you dummy zombie!

I was really thinking about my plan to send him to Africa with the gorillas right now, or even punching him in the face, but remembering that Sehun was not normal, I closed my eyes to let go of my feelings.

Calm down, Haerin. You can’t make him cry.

“Err… whatever. It’s time for breakfast now, let’s go and eat.” I pulled him up and dragged him to the kitchen.

I grabbed a bowl, a box of cereals, and a bottle of milk, before I sat across to him and poured his cereals. Ahjumma told me that Sehun liked his cereal better without too much milk, so I made sure to put just the right amount of it. Of course… we didn’t want the Prince to be upset, right?

“Noona, what are you doing at my house?” I startled as I realize that he was actually beside me now. When did he even come here? Is Sehun some kind of ninja too?

Aish… I think something was wrong with my brain. This must be Chanyeol’s fault. He poisoned me too much with his stories.

I smiled at him before I seated him down on my chair instead. “I’ve told you before that I want to be your friend. Will you accept me?” I looked for his reaction nervously.

“Really? Yeay! I am so happy!” He suddenly jumped on me to hug me, and God! He was so heavy; I thought my back was breaking.

“Sehun…enough. Eat your cereals.” I tapped his shoulder repeatedly as I lost my strength already.

He giggled before he turned to eat. I stared at him while he was eating, and I felt bad for his condition.

Poor Sehun…

“Sehun, what do you want to do after this?” I asked him while looking at him inhaling those cereals down his throat. Aish… his shirt! It was wet with milk spilling all over it. He really was a kid.

“Me? I want to watch Pororo, do you like to watch Pororo too?” He blinked.

Cute

Wait. What was I thinking!!! No. Stop it. I shook my head to throw away my thoughts.

"I don't know, but I always watch this cartoon... what is the title..." I tried to create the title of the cartoon because I didn't usually watch cartoons though.. "... Urm.. Hah! I always watch The Ants!" I beamed brightly as if the cartoon is exist. He didn't know, right?

He scoffed before he raised his spoon, swinging it left and right. “Noona! You better don’t watch them, because the cartoon is so annoying, and make me want to pinch them down.” He showed the action of pinching with the spoon, while I couldn’t help but to drop my jaw in disbelief.

Was the cartoon really exist? Or?

I laughed loudly at that thoughts.

“Noona don’t laugh! Do you know that ants…” Sehun continued to blabber about those ants while I just kept on being silent while listening to him.

Okay I must admit that he is kind of...

Cute.

 [ Autistics don't act like Sehun did, actually. They are not interested to talk with people. But Sehun doesn't know much about that so he just act childishly based on what he understands about autistic. ]

"So. Tell me what do you like, what do you hate, what do you love to eat.. tell me. I want to get to know you more." I said as I slumped my body on the couch and made myself comfortable on it. Well, his mother was not here so I made myself like in my own house. Haha!

We had grown comfortable which each other so fast that I also couldn't believe it since we only met a few times. Well, he was the one who was so overly-friendly, making me feel comfortable around him.

Okay, maybe he is not that annoying...

I decided to drop the honorifics with him eventhough he didn't even
