Acting
Heartless MachineACTING.
Mrs Kim's house was located near a big park.
Everywhere you could see cherry trees.
Chaeri's favorite trees.
I also found out that Lu Han-oppa's apartment was near here too.
"Could I introduce you to somebody?"
Mrs Kim skeptical look while she ironed my uniform.
"He's a friend." I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Of course, I'd be glad to meet him."
Since Lu Han-oppa lived on the opposite site of the park,
he just followed me after school to Mrs Kim's house.
I linked arms with him and leaned my head against his shoulder,
while we walked.
We entered the house and Mrs Kim came out of the kitchen.
"Omo, is this your boyfriend?" she asked and quickly laughed.
I blushed a little. Were we a couple?
"Uhm, yes, I am Lu Han." He bowed and looked at me.
He said yes.
"This is Mrs Kim my mother," I introduced her and smiled at her.
My mother. This word felt so strange in my mouth.
My mother lead him to the living room and touched my hand.
She winked at me and nodded while smiling.
"So, Lu Han? Do you like my daughter?"
I looked a bit shocked and stopped eating.
"I like her... a lot." Lu Han-oppa looked at me.
I wondered, why my mother was asking such things.
It's not like we're going to marry.
At 9 pm Lu Han-oppa left.
I hugged him tightly and he gave me a peck on my cheek.
"Take care," I said and inhaled his scent.
He nodded and waved at me, while leaving.
KAI.
Everything I saw was automatically sent to the headquarters,
so the scientists could see what I see.
At the time, I was watching her.
Her.
She hugged Lu Han and when the door closed and went up to him.
It was dark outside and there were no street lightings.
I stopped right in front of him and he stopped too.
"Who are you?" I could hear him saying, confused.
"Kai," I answered, my voice lowered.
"Kai? Aren't you the new student?"
I didn't answer.
So this was the person she liked?
The person she loved?
What does 'love' even mean?
I had the order to watch her.
I should follow her wherever she goes and whatever she does.
After school she always went straight to the scientist's home.
She always crossed the park with the cherry blossoms.
And while she crossed it, she would always close her eyes.
Sometimes she went to the graveyard and put a red rose down.
Always on the same grave. Lee Chaeri's.
She liked bubble tea. Especially those with green tea and apple.
I wondered, why she was drinking those, because she can't taste anything.
She likes to stick her tongue out just to friends.
She tends to pout when she's angry.
She loves rain. That's why she always goes outside, when it's rainy.
Why does she act so human, when she's not?
