“That’s Dongwoon.” Gina pointed t the guy on the right in the picture. “My step brother. Remember?”

Then it hit me, “Oh yes! We used to exchange letters right? Back in primary school, you were our post girl.” I giggled. Now I remember, Dongwoon. Son Dongwoon. We shared a lot in our letters. He’s a nice guy. “Where is he now?” I asked again.

“Working. I guess. He’s a lazy bump.” Gina frowned, staring at the picture, “Oh and that’s Doojoon. Oppa’s buddy. There’s another guy, Yoseop. You should meet them. They really rock!”

“Oh.” I said in uninterested. Well I’m not the kind of girl who really hangs out with guys, especially wild and noisy guys. Ugh.

That night, I was texting with Kikwang. He talks about his work place. He worked part-time at a Computer shop in a shopping mall. I visited him there once. His friends were very friendly to me.

 “How old is she?” one of Kikwang’s friend asked him.

“16.” Kikwang replied, fixing a CPU.

“Mwo?” the guy stared at me like he couldn’t believe it. What? Do I look old? Or do I look like a kid? Sheesh. Stop staring at me like that. I groaned inside.

“Oh come on.” He patted Kikwang’s back, then I heard him whispered, “You surely know how to find a good one.” He smirked.

That makes me feel uncomfortable. Then I remembered back what Gina had told me, “Oh please don’t get fooled by that prince charming. He’s a player.”

Great. How could I forget that he’s a player? But it’s too late now. I fell for him already.

“Babe, I’m sorry.” Kikwang held my hand, “I’m quite busy here. We’ll meet some other day. Alright? I’ll call you.”

We said our goodbye and I went out from the shop. While walking out, I turned back to him. He was talking and laughing with his friend and another girl who work there too. You call that busy?

Worried and jealousy washed through me. What if I’m not the only one for him? What if that girl is his girlfriend too? Or maybe this girl in the counter? What if Gina was right?

I shook my head, telling myself that it would be okay. That he won’t cheat on me.

I walked around the mall, looking for present for my mum upcoming birthday. Then, my cell phone beep.

To: Mika

Hi. It’s Dongwoon here. Remember me? ^^

From: Dongwoon

I paused. Omoo! It’s Dongwoon. I miss him. Quickly, I replied him.

To: Dongwoon

Hi. Aww I miss you! It’s been years we didn’t contact each other. How’d you been?

From: Mika

We text until I reached home. It was already 7pm; mum was making dinner while dad was in the bathroom. After dinner, I went to my room. Still texting with Dongwoon. I miss him so much!

Suddenly, an unknown number texted me.

Hey, are you Mika?

I hesitated to reply for a moment. Then I replied,

I waited for about a minute, then the unknown number replied back. My eyes widened.
