Jung So Min

I hold my stomach as I laugh out loud. Suzy is hilarious. Seriously.. Only her that can make me feel this way. Light. Happy. And, enjoying myself much. I smile widely. Ah.. I envy her. I envy her happy and fun life. I am wondering my chance to live that kind of life. I am wondering whether I deserve it or not.

"Sadly.. I am not allowed to wear one. King Kong costume. I am sure I will be the winner for the contest. Why little girls nowadays obsess with Princess like. Don't they have any idea that living as Princess is so troublesome?"
 

"Hey hey young missy." I smile even more. "You and your mature thought! How could you even have that kind of thought?" I shake my head lightly in disbelief. I seriously could not believe that Suzy is actually twelve years old. Maybe she is an adult that stuck inside little girl's body. Or... Maybe a grown up ghost possesses her?

Suzy giggles even more. "Just accept it, Unnie. I am awesome."

I grin. "Yes, you are." I could not agree more.

Suzy stuns for moments before her eyes widen in disbelief. Then, "OPPPAAA!!!"

Eh? Oppa? I throw my sight following Suzy's. And, just after I turn my face, I spot him. Our eyes lock in snap. I seriously feel that the time STOP for seconds.












Mr Kim.












OH MY GOD!!!

I shift my stare from him and take my bag hurriedly before push my black mask into it. Not even minding to put it properly. Oh, crap! My heart is beating hard, fast, achingly inside my rib cage. Why in sudden? WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!

"Miss Jung, you are here?"

"Eh?" I turn my face again and find him sit next to me. When did he sit? Why does he sit? "I-"

"You are suppose to be at office right now." He says calmly.

At office? Oh yes! This is office hours. I should not be here. How should I answer? My God.. I could not find my voice. Where is it? WHERE?! I am panicking. I am seriously panicking. Office hours. The black mask. I stare at random directions, expecting another miracle.

"Unnie is with me, Oppa." Suzy coolly answers him while eating her banana muffin.

I sigh deeply still in shocking mode and slowly lower my face. I know it. I know something will happen when I wake up this morning. This is the worst thing I even able to imagine. My own boss finds me escaping from office during working hours. Even though I do it due to Mr Bae's request. But still.. I even cannot explain it. I shrug even more.

"I called you yesterday. But, your Eomma said that you were camping?" Mr Kim says.

Eh? Camping? Who? I raise my face and find Suzy grins playfully. Her eyes widen in excitement. Suzy? On camping? Really?

Suzy giggles. "I did. But again.. I find it boring. So, I decide to go home."

I drop my jaw a little in disbelief. This girl is seriously unbelievable. How could she act so up-to-me. After I regain my sense back, I shake my head lightly. She is seriously should be taught about the meaning of completing something. She cannot just easily skip school or runaway from camping.

"You should stop your up-to-me attitudes, Suzy. Life is not that easy. Try to finish what you have started."

WHAT THE? I turn my face fast to Mr Kim who stares directly to Suzy. Did he seriously say that? Did he just copy my statement in mind? Does he a mind reader? I shiver. I let my jaw drops even more and my eyes widen in surprise.

When I am still on my oh-so-not-good pose, Mr Kim turns his face toward me, staring at me.












Warm and soft.












Eh?












I blink few times, close my lips and shift my sight from him. I am so busted staring at him absentmindedly. Oh my! This is seriously the second most embarrassing moment in my life since I born till today. The first obviously is being caught hanging around by him, my own boss, during working hours. Next time, I should be able to say no to Mr Bae. I think.
 

"What are you doing here, Oppa?" Suzy is emptying her milk.
 

Unconsciously, I copy her action, taking my cappuccino's cup and feel the warmth o
