Chapter 4: Learning Some Korean Words
Too Late To Say I Love You TooWhen they both reached Amber's house, Kris was nervous because, what if her family will think that he's her boyfriend? Amber shared that her father is conservative and strict and her older brothers, Donghae and Jonghyun are high-ranked military men. It's really scary, he thought.
“Hey Wu Fan, don't worry. My brothers aren't around. My father is in Taiwan right now so I'm alone for awhile,” she said while smiling like a 5-year-old kid.
“Where's your mom?”
“I..I don't have mother anymore,” she then bowed her head to hide her pain.
Kris was taken aback and apologized immediately to the young girl.
“You don't have to be sorry. My mom passed away when I was still little,” she said as she opened the gate.
“No wonder, you're one of the boys,” Kris murmured but it was actually enough for Amber to hear clearly.
Amber kicked his shin and left him groaning in pain as she entered her house.

“So what's your reason on bringing me all the way here?”
“Wouldn't it be unfair that I know your house while you don't know mine?” she said while putting the orange juice and cookies on the table for Kris to eat. She then sat beside him on the sofa.
“That's so sweet of you but you don't know my REAL house actually. The house you're talking about is just a rented apartment.”
“Whatever, Mushu.”
“Mush-- wait, what?!” he moved his head to his right and faced Amber's side profile.
“Mushu.”
“HEY! DO I LOOK LIKE A FREAKING ANTHROPOMORPHIC DRAGON TO YOU?!”
“Yes.”
“Tsk. I'm gonna leave now,” he attempted leaving the place earning him a smack on his head.
“Ack! How dare you llama-like creature!” Kris massaged the tortured part while giving the tomboy a death glare.
“Who told you to leave when I didn't tell you to? Stay here and I'm going to get something inside my room,” she then left him and ran upstairs.
Kris looked around the house and picture frames being displayed caught his attention. It contained Amber's photos, her brothers' and a family picture where Amber was still a baby. Before he could stare for a long time on the photos, Amber is already downstairs with a snapback on her right hand. She threw it on his direction and he luckily caught it.
“What's this?”
“A snapback, moron.”
“I know this is a snapback but, what for?”
“A gift? Remembrance? Whatever.”
“Cheesy.” he then put it on his head like a normal cap.
“No, put it this way,” she went towards him and fixed it like a mother would do to his son. Kris' heart skipped a beat because of her small action.
“See? Swaeg,” she giggled.
Kris avoided looking at her as he was afraid she'll see him blushing.
The two watched television, talked about nonsense things for hours and hit each other for no reason. Of course, Amber initiates.
“Aish. I'm bored! I have a gay neighbor. Should we visit him? Let's visit him please?” Amber said while having a pleading face to convince Kris.
“As if I have a choice.”
——☆——★——☆——★——☆——★——☆——
“Lu Han jie jie!” she shouted from her neighbor's gate while Kris feels embarrassed on what she's doing.
“Lower your voice Yiyun.”
“How will Lu Han jie jie open the gate if I'm going to whisper? Stupid,” the girl said feeling annoyed.
As they're having a cute quarrel, a young man, probably in his mid-20s came out from the house. He looks so young and is having a princess-like appearance and personality. Kris' jaw literally dropped and Amber playfully closed his mouth.
“Don't fall for him, okay?” Amber then heartily laughed while Kris shoved her h
