Christmas Companion"Change of heart?" Hayoung asked, taking a pinch on Bomi's bread and ate it.
"Nope." Bomi hated it when Hayoung's up to something, it's means that the girl won't let her in peace.
"You turned into the kindest person on earth when you act like you're an old grandma last time."
Honestly, Bomi didn't know why she turned like that. Like she just volunteered to help. Other than that, she doesn't feel like arguing.
"I'm just returning the favor. Maybe after that day of pretending. When she got what she wanted, she'll be gone." Bomi proceeded on drinking her water and mulled over how she was going to get rid of Chorong. Or get rid of the excitement she's feeling to see the girl again.
"You mean when she put you on bed?" Hayoung asked.
"Why do you always say she wants me on bed when it's clear that it's not." Bomi countered, unaware of the fact that she raised her voice.
"Okay okay. Calm down... Well, I don't think you'll believe me when I'll say what I saw on her eyes when she looks at you."
"Don't even bother." Bomi stood up, picking her car keys. "Got to go, see you when I see you."
Hayoung followed Bomi with her eyes.
I had a hard time believing it too. But I hope I was right.
--------
Chorong tossed and her bed. Silently, squeling when she received a text from an unknown number telling her that it's Bomi and that's her number.
Should she call her? Or too early for that? Chorong was bewildered when she realized what she's been doing.
Why is she like this? What did this mean? There's a lot of people she met but she never reacted like this before. She looked like a teenager having mutual understanding with her crush.
She turned and hugged her pillow. Staring on the text that she didn't yet replying to.
Hey. Goodevening. This is my number
-Bomi.
Things with her exes and flings were never been passionate or even very intimate. had been an obligation... But with Bomi, the girl can just look at her and she's already ...
And yet here she was thinking about things when Bomi just texted her.
She closed her eyes trying to get herself in peace but all she'd seen was Bomi, the girl's dark hair matching her dark eyes. The fluffy cheeks and that hidden dimple whenever the girl smiles. The way the girl scrunched her nose at the same time.
They share that same habit.
There was something with Bomi that made Chorong want to stare. Whatever it is, she needs to find out.
Chorong sat up. Why the hell she's so excited. She flopped back into the bed. Before she stopped herself, she's already dialing Bomi's number.
"Hello?"
Chorong almost cry on how husky Bomi's voice is. But then she controlled herself not to or else she might freak the girl out.
"Hi Bomi."
"Chorong... Uhhh Hayoung calls you unnie but I don't know if I should too... I'm 93 liner anyway."
"I'm an unnie then. I'm 91." Chorong sat up while still hugging a pillow.
"Chorong unnie then." Bomi corrected herself.
"Am I calling too late?"
"No I just came home. You're just on time."
Chorong tried to think of a topic. She doesn't want this phone call to end soon so she should try hard.
"I called to apologize properly again. My behavior on you yesterday. Well there's no excuse but I want you to know I'm not like that." Chorong explained.
"It's okay. I have to apologize too. I easily get annoyed when I'm hungry... So..."
Chorong chuckled. "I should take note not to make you hungry."
In few seconds Bomi's laughter filtered through the line.
Oh Bomi. I could give all the food in the world for you.
"Uh about the day after tomorrow, as I have said we'll leave at 6am. Should I bring my car? I'll fetch you in your apartment"
Chorong frowned when Bomi diverted the topic to their business.
"How about, I'll bring my car and leave it in your apartment so you don't have to drive me home when we get back." Chorong suggested.
"If that's what you want."
At least their conversation that night had gone a lot better. Chorong was glad that Bomi is now making casual jokes on her.
Chorong ended the phone call with a huge smile on her face. She placed the phone on her chest thinking how it would be like to have a Yoon Bomi in her life.
-------
Chorong checked the wall clock again. She was anxious and excited about this event. She wondered why time today seemed so slow. Like she wanted to fast forward things so she can meet Bomi tommorrow... And ohh she's excited to meet the families too.
Well, helping others had been part of her company too. In fact, their company is supporting a number of charitable institution, so she always does things like this in the past too. But this is the first time that she'll actually go to the place as a volunteer.
Well, what's the big deal? She will go there and help in distributing the packages to the families. End of story.
The next day, she headed on Bomi's apartment ten minutes before their agreed time. Well, she values punctuality that much.
She parked her car next to Bomi's car and realized that Bomi was inside the car already.
"Bomi?" she knocked on the window and Bomi opened it immediately.
"Sorry, I'm a bit sleepy. So..."
"Do you want me to drive?" Chorong offered. Bomi seemed hesitant so she added. "It would reduce the risk of an accident I think."
Bomi chuckled before getting out of the car and proceed to the passenger seat. "I'll have my coffee on the warehouse, I'll do the long drive later."
"Ok." Chorong glanced at her own car. "Is that okay?"
"Yup."
Both of them were quiet on their way to the warehouse. Although everything was already packed up and already on the trucks, their team agreed to meet there and leave altogether.
-----
The moment they arrived, there are already people on that small covered court they rented. Chorong is amazed on how planned and organized the event is.
Like there are list of families, and estimates of how many packages they need to allocate. The people are already in line waiting for them. In front, there's a small speaker and a microphone.
Bomi immediately checked it, and proceed on her responsibility.
Chorong couldn't help but to stare at the girl. Amazed on how someone can have such a big heart for people.
After a short introduction and orientation about their event. Bomi and the team including Chorong proceeded on distributing the goods.
After that, C
