Ring Pops

Ring Pops

Kris Wu has never been the guy that could express his feelings easily. That's probably why his ex-colleagues thought of him as the mysterious guy. He couldn't understand why people could be so happy or so sad just because of a simple thing. He couldn't understand how she did it. Her hair was dyed blonde just like him, tied in a messy bun as she squinted her eyes while concentrating on her drawing. He watched her frown and smile a second later. And he comes up with a conclusion few minutes later, she's not normal. 

 

He was too engrossed watching her, too late to turn away when she looked up and caught his empty eyes. Then comes the unexpected, she beamed with her eyes turn into a slits. She has the prettiest eye-smile and the cutest dimples. Her eyes didn't leave his as she waved her hand. And being the clumsy girl she is, her elbow knocked over her cup of coffee. She gasped and watched the cup toppled over to the carpeted floor.

 

Kris raised his eyebrows in amusement when he saw her looking around before grabbing a box of tissue and start dabbing the carpet, trying to remove the stain.

 

"KIM MI YOUNG!" a voice roared and she cursed silently.

 

"yea?" She meekly answered and stand up.

 

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" the older woman raised the folder in her hand.

 

"Um... a folder?" She answered, receiving a glare afterwards.

 

"it looks familiar though." she answered again.

 

"OF COURSE IT DOES! it's YOUR work! And for heaven's sake, WHY IS IT LIKE THIS?!! It's not good enough!!" She roared again.

 

Miyoung, the girl that intrigued him, just stare at the older woman with a blank expression.

 

"It's not weird." She mumbled.

 

"Do it again! Give it to me tomorrow or you'll know what will happen." She said and left the room.

 

She slumped back into her seat and close her eyes, oblivious to the stoic guy that watched everything. When she opened her eyes, she noticed him still standing by the door, looking at her.

 

"Can i help you?" She asked.

 

Kris blinked and showed her a small note he has been holding.

 

"OH! You're my new bodyguard!" She clapped her hands in glee.

 

"I'm Kim mi young! Call me Miyoung!!" She excitedly shook his hand.

 

"Kris Wu."

 

"not much of a talker aren't you? " she grinned.

 

Kris didn't answer but it doesn't stopped her from talking.

 

"Well, that's okay. you can be a good listener! Let's go~ I'll take you on a tour. I'm in need of a break now." she giggled and walked ahead of him, motioning him to follow her.

 

It was just a thirty minutes tour and he's exhausted already. She kept blabbering about every single thing she saw and Kris almost jumped at her and taped if only she's not his boss.

 

"So do you want to get started now?" She asked when they got back to the main room.

 

Kris gave her a small nod and she widely smile.

 

"GOOD! here, read this. Tell me what's wrong with the design." She gave him the folder.

 

Kris opened the folder and his lips parted in awe. 

 

"is it really that ugly?" her voice interrupts him.

 

It was perfect, he thought but he couldn't point out that one thing it lacked of.

 

"I guess it's too empty." She mumbled and he realized the meaning behind her words.

 

Despite the outstanding work, it lacks emotion, which is weird for someone with such a bubbly character.

 

"I think it's pretty good." He said.

 

She shook her head and took the drawing from his hand. For a split second, he could see her expression fell. His eyes widened when she ripped it off to pieces and throw it into the bin.

 

"It's not good enough. I guess i have to draw again." she grinned but he couldn't help but to notice a hint of sadness in her voice.

 

"That's my mom by the way." she said.

 

"who?"

 

"The one who just scolded me." she replied with a huge smile.

 

"I guess she really wants me to be a good artists. Now... help me with this please." She said, handing him a box.

 

"what should i do with this?" He asked.

 

She looked at the box for a few seconds before her eyes diverted at him.

 

"Rip everything and burn it afterwards." She smiled and starts to draw.

 

He opened the box and found dozens of pictures. 

 

"this is you." he said, showing her a picture of her with her mother.

 

"Yes. and i want it destroyed."

 

"why?" His question caught him in shock.

 

Why does he care about her? But seeing the look in her face, he couldn't help but to ask.

 

"Because i'm going to be g-" she stopped and looked at him.

 

she shook her head and grinned.

 

"Not gonna tell you." 

 

'this brat.' kris thought, rolling his eyes.

 

"keep that." she said when he was about to rip a picture.

 

It was a picture of a familiar boy and a girl that seems to be the younger version of the chatter box next to him. 

 

"Your boyfriend?" 

 

he cursed himself. Since when did he become so nosy and talkative, he kept thinking and decided to blame her for this.

 

She nodded and smile.

 

"He left me when we were little. That stupid boy. But it's okay because i'll be with him soon." she said.

 

"What do you mean?" he asked again.

 

She chuckled.

 

"Since you're my bodyguard, you'll be doing what i told you to right?" she asked and he nods.

 

"Then i'm going to tell you this." she motioned him to come closer.

 

"I'm leaving tonight. and you're coming with me!" she whispered.

 

He couldn't believe his luck. 1st day of work and he's already in a deep .

 

"You can't." he said.

 

"Why?" she asked.

 

"Because your mother will be angry and disappointed, agashi."

 

"nah, she won't. she's disappointed enough to not expect anything from me. We're leaving at 12. Don't forget." She winked.

 

he gaped. What kind of mess has he gotten into? he mentally promised himself to kill his friend Kai for recommending this job.

 

"are you going to live with him?" he asked.

 

She nodded.

 

"where?" 

 

"I don't know. Where should we stay, Kris oppa?" she asked.

 

"oppa?"

 

"yeah, why? you're older than me. You're my oppa." she replied nonchalantly.

 

"I don't think this is a good idea." he said.

 

"Where do you live oppa?" she asked.

 

"Seoul with my friends--." he blurted out and she beamed.

 

"we're going to your place then!" she said while he cursed himself.

 

*

"WOAH!" that's the nth time she has said it. 

 

They just entered his place and he was quite please by his friends that managed to keep the place clean.

 

"hyung! who?" Tao greeted him and noticed a girl standing beside his hyung, holding his arm tightly.

 

"I'm Miyoung!" she let go of her grip and walked towards Tao, extending her arm.

 

"I'm tao." Tao smiled.

 

"Who? MIYOUNG?" a guy walked in and gaped at the sight of the girl.

 

Her eyes brightened as she jumped into his arms.

 

"KAI!" 

 

Kris raised his eyebrows. So this punk knows her, he thought. Kai caught his stare and looked back at her.

 

"Like your new bodyguard?"

 

She nodded furiously and beamed. Kris frowned a little. 

 

"What's with that pink suitcase, kris?" Lay noticed the suitcase in Kris' hand.

 

"Oh! it's mine!!" she raised one of her hand excitedly.

 

"Why is that?" kai eyed her.

 

Kris' eyebrows raised in amusement as he watched her fidgeted on her spot and slowly backed away, hiding behind his tall figure before she answered Kai.

 

"i ran away." she squeaked.

 

"YOU!!" kai's eyes widened and pointed his finger at her.

 

Her grip on the back of his shirt tightened as she shield herself with his body.

 

"You're my bodyguard, attack him!" She pointed with her tinkling voice, causing the audience around them to laugh.

 

Kai smirked.

 

"You little kid. I'm going to kill you." he said.

 

She gasped and one of her hand grab kris' and flail it around.

 

"ATTACK HIM, OPPA!" 

 

"What the-- OPPA?!" Kai stopped on his track.

 

Kris looked at him with his stoic expression, causing the latter to back away.

 

"sheesh. Fine. i won't do anything." Kai sighed.

 

she grinned in victory and hug his long arm.

 

"I know i can always count on you, oppa!"

 

Kris sighed as she continued to talk despite his ignorance.

 

"Where do i sleep oppa?" she asked, her eyes roamed around the huge living room.

 

"You're staying here?" Lay asked.

 

She nodded and grinned.

 

"No, you can't." Kai cuts in.

 

"Why?" she whined.

 

"Because there are 12 guys in here!!"

 

"Well, technically there are only the five of us including Chanyeol hyung since everyone stayed with their parents now." Tao chirped.

 

"great then! I can stay can't I? Do you really want me to stay in the hotel alone?" Kris bit his lips to hold in his laughter as he watched her pouting in front of Kai.

 

"I like her. She can stay." a low voice startled everyone.

 

Her eyes widened at the source of the voice.

 

"I'm Chanyeol." he grinned.

 

"Miyoung!" she replied with equal cheerfulness. 

 

Kai facepalmed himself and groaned. Kris also let out a sigh. It was hard enough to deal with Chanyeol's hyperactiveness and now she's here.

 

"She's staying then. I like her too." Lay calmly smile.

 

"NO you can't!" Kris blurted out.

 

She looked at him before a huge smile appeared on her face as she hugged his arm.

 

"Aigooo i will not abandon you, Oppa. You're my bodyguard after all. Now show me to my room!" she exclaimed.

 

"She could stay next to your room, Kris." Lay said and walked back to the kitchen with Tao.

 

"LAY!!"  Kris roared in frustration.

 

*****
 
Despite her talkativeness throughout the whole week that drives him to the brink of madness, Kris couldn't help but to feel some sort of attachment with her. She attracts him in a way that he couldn't even understand. He couldn't make her go home, especially when her mother suddenly showed up in front of their house to take her back but her brother Kai refused and just tell her that he'll take care of Miyoung. She left soon after with a more relaxed posture, knowing her daughter is with her brother.
 
"Tell me about you, oppa." She said when she has settled down.
 
He sighed as he sat on the carpeted floor. Miyoung has forced him to stay with her while she unpacked her shopping items an hour ago and she hasn't let him go out of the room ever since.
 
Kris briefly told her his childhood memories he could recall, not knowing why he would even blabber about it. 
 
"And there's this girl i used to know.. she's so noisy and i used to hate her. she even made me promise to marry her. that girl" Kris softly smiled before he continued, "i used to hate her bu---" Kris stopped in the middle of the sentence when he noticed her staring at him.
 
He can hear his brain clicked as he put some pieces of events together and his finger pointed at her bright face.
 
"That was you? The little chatter box?" He whispered.
 
He groaned when she nodded.
 
"Remember me now, Wu Yi Fan?" She asked.
 
"Why?" he whined.
 
"Why? Because we're destined to be together! And since you've remembered the promise, i'll be waiting for the proposal~" She jumped off the bed and skipped out of the room.
 
"KAI OPPA~! I'M GETTING MARRIED~" She shouted with her usual loud voice, causing a huge commotion downstairs.
 
"WHAT?!" Kris can hear Kai's shocked voice, followed with his friends' protests.
 
"Oh god.. why?" he groaned though he can't help but to feel giddy at the thought of marrying the girl he used to like when he was a little kid.
 
He looked at the frame next to her bed.
 
"I looked like this?" he asked himself, looking at the boy wearing a batman mask, standing next to her with their hands intertwined.
 
He took out the photo and flipped it over, finding some writing he remembered writing before he left to Canada. His lips curved into a loving smile as he read the sentence that was messily written.
 
'I'm going to marry you later when we grow up so don't lose this picture or i will forget you! - Your husband'
 
*****
 
"Wu Yifan~" the little girl cooed as she approached him with ring pops on her hands.
 
"what now?" he groaned.
 
She slipped the ring pops on his fourth finger and beamed.
 
"We're married now!" she squealed and showed him the ring pops on her finger.
 
"What?! no! I don't want to marry you!!!" he shook his head, taking off the ring pops and walked away.
 
He stopped walking away when he heard her cry.
 
"yah, stop crying..." he mumbled.
 
She looked up with her glossy eyes and red cheeks.
 
"But you don't want to marry me! Hwayoung said i will never get married and will be an old lady with 70 cats. She said i never played with her and her friends so i will forever be a loner. But i told her i have you! Hwayoung said you will never marry me.. Is that true? Do you really hate me?" she asked between her sobs.
 
He went back to the bench and sit next to her.
 
"Fine. I'll marry you. Don't cry anymore." he said, wearing the ring pops and showed it to her.
 
His ears turned red when she stopped crying and flashed him her cute smile.
 
"Promise, oppa?" she asked.
 
He nodded and wiped of her tears.
 
"I promise." He said.
 
"Yay! Let's go tell Hwayoung! I bet she'll stop bullying me if i have a husband!" She pulled his hand and run towards the other side of the park where Hwayoung and her friends are playing.
 
He frowned. She's been bullied? he thought.
 
"Hwayoung! I have a husband now!" she proudly declared, shocking her classmates.
 
"Who would want to be your husband? he'll get tired of your voice!" Hwayoung said.
 
The eight years old Miyoung pulled his hand and beamed.
 
"Wu Yi Fan oppa!" she introduced the 10 years old boy.
 
"Liar!" Hwayoung said.
 
"I'm going to marry her." he said with his stoic expression he has whenever he dealt with people he doesn't like.
 
Miyoung's classmates stepped back in fear when he took a step forward, glaring at everyone.
 
"If i heard you teasing my Miyoung one more time, i'll hit you!" He said and left the playground with Miyoung who was smiling from ear to ear.
 
"my miyoung~" she sang.
 
He had to smile at that. He didn't mind if it was miyoung he has to marry. He likes her, he thought.
 
'But i'll have to deal with the chatter box everyday.' he suddenly thought and sighed.
 
*****
 
"KRIS WU! GET YOUR DOWN HERE!" Kai roared, snapping him back to reality.
 
"I guess i'm going to keep the promise after all." he said and walked out of the room, only to be bombarded with questions from his fellow friends.
