A smile or a smirk?

A Romantic Comedy

 

Rain looked as his two best friends lounging in the living room of his gigantic mansion watching television, munching on snacks they had found themselves in his refrigerator at the same time. They had, without Rain�s consent, decided to have a sleepover in his place since both his parents were away overseas for a business trip.

Any refusal on his part was either not heard or ignored by his two unabashed friends, who apparently thought naively that Rain would eventually give up after Uee�s endless whines and Joowon�s shameless pleading. Rain snorted, Joowon even pretended to cry! He wondered how on earth he could have made such a dramatic friend.

The reason they gave for their stay was that they were extremely afraid Rain would be up to some hanky-panky without guardians, meaning them, to chaperon him.

Ya right! They just wanted to bug him, to interrogate him on the reason why Kahi hated him so much. It was not that he did not want to say it. It was just that the reason was so stupid that he felt embarrassed just thinking about it! But anyway, he was now waiting for his irritating friends to pop the question like they usually do since nine or ten years ago.

His two best friends, on getting their way of him agreeing to let them stay, were joking to each other now. Obviously they were too carried away with their triumph. He decided to stop waiting. Oh well, while they were so engrossed with their chit-chatting�

Rain sneaked quietly upstairs to his bedroom, his eyes never leaving Uee and Joowon, checking for some signs for them to notice him. Luckily, they were so absorbed in the conversation they were having that they did not.

Rain went into his luxurious bathroom, furtively looking around to see if anyone had caught him entering. When he was finally assured that no one was looking, he stood in front of the mirror and examined his smirk. Telling himself that he was not trying to change his smile to get into that Park Kahi�s good books, he proceeded with what he was going to do�

Downstairs�

Joowon finally stopped his idle chit-chat with Uee, who had popcorn all over her body now, looking so different from the polished girl in school. He pitied the man that was going to be her boyfriend in the future. But this was not the reason he stopped. He stopped because he saw Rain entering his room. He whispered to Uee excitedly.

�Hey, want to see a good show?�

�Huh? What? Oh... Ok. Rain,Joowon asked if you want to see� Where�s Rain by the way?

Uee scanned the humongous living room for her best friend, who was now no longer in sight.

Jowoon got impatient and hit Uee lightly on the head.

�Ouch! What�s that for?!� Uee cried crossly, massaging her head with her fingers.

�Idiot! The show is Rain! So how could he be here?!?!?!�

Uee looked for a minute confused before understanding finally dawned on her. A cheeky grin appeared on her face and she nodded. Joowon gave her a conspiratory wink and the two crept up stealthily to Rain�s bedroom. Anyone, on seeing their evil faces, would be afraid. Especially after witnessing how Uee rubbed her two hands together like a predator was going to finish up its prey�

�Hmm� What about a cute Leonardo de caprio smile?� Rain mumbled to himself as he attempted, quite unsuccessfully, to imitate the Caucasian. He looked at his pearly white teeth through the mirror and shook his head.

�Then� A dreamy Tom Cruise smile then?�

�How about the cool smile of Jang Dong gun?�

�Or the one of Orlando Bloom?�

 

Rain tried very hard to change his smirk. However it was to avail, no matter what expression he had, it all ended up in his trademark smirk. But he was not about to give up. Keep trying! He told himself, as he continued to try, try, and try.

Outside the barely opened door of Rain�s bathroom two people, a cute girl and a good-looking guy, were trying very hard to muffle their sounds of laughter. Yes, they were the two busybodies Uee and Joowon. They had almost managed to stop laughing until they saw Rain trying to emulate the confident grin of Brad Pitt in the movie �Mr. and Mrs. Smith�. It looked too hilarious to be true. And yes, in this kind of situation the clumsy Uee was sure to mess up, she was laughing too hard and fell into the bathroom, pulling Joowon with her�

A loud crash made Rain looked behind. He saw his two best friends falling on the ground. They even chorused in unison.

�Ouch!�

Rain looked at them and felt extremely embarrassed. He blushed and was going to make up some inane excuse about his actions in the bathroom when Uee spoke hurriedly.

�Oh ya! I need to find some uh� Toilet paper! So ya.. I�m going downstairs ok?�

She did not wait for his reply and rushed out of his room, but ripples of laughter could be heard from her.

Joowon, of course would not wait for Rain�s impending wrath, he smiled goofily at him and said.

�I uh� Have to help Uee find toilet paper. Got to go, buddy!�

Ad he rushed down too.

Rain groaned. How was he going to face them again?!?!?!?! He heard the loud guffaws from his friends downstairs and buried his head into his hands.

When the laughter of Joowon and Uee finally subsided, they began to discuss about what they have see.

Uee said.

�So� I think Rain likes Kahi.�

�Ya I agree. He just didn�t want to admit it, or that he does not know it himself.�

�He could use some help. Heh Heh��

�Yeah� And we could use some fun! Whahahhaha!�

Joowon and Uee discussed what they would do, ignoring the weird fluttering in their stomachs when they talked to each other�
