Luhan: My Annoying Boyfriend (Sequel to Luhan: The Annoying Brat)SHINee - Last Christmas
I stare out the window. The snow flakes are falling slowly to the ground like little leaves blown in the wind. The bleak, but white sky made the snowflakes look even prettier.
"Woah..."
I jumped out of my seat beside the window. Victoria eonni's face popped up beside me, gaping at the snow with me. I didn't even notice her there. She's already been here a few days, but I still can't get used to her popping out everywhere. "Eonni you scared me!"
She giggled and haw-hawed beside me. That laugh could've frightened any kid. "Sorry," she said, not sorry at all. She took the seat beside me. "Snow here in Korea is much prettier than in China."
"It snows in China?"
She looked at me like I've asked the most obvious question. "Don't be dim, Sungchan. Of course it snows. But actually, not the whole of China experiences snow."
"I see," I said. I'm actually not interested to know China's atmospheric conditions. I hope she caught on with my uninterested 'I see'.
But I asked her a different question so that we won't be awkward in the silence. "Eonni, have you had a boyfriend before?"
She shook her head. "Nope. Never had."
"You never had? Why?"
She laughed. "You sound like I'm supposed to have one." She crossed her legs, and crossed her arms. "I don't know. I guess, I'm not interested?"
I stared at eonni. Vic eonni's really pretty. Her face is like a doll, and her whole body just screams of beauty. I bet a lot of guys wanted her, but didn't as soon as they got to know her.
I mean, no offense, but if I'm a guy, I'd totally be scared with a girl like her.
"You seem... likeable," I just tried to say, in case she might guess what I'm thinking of.
She chortled. "Likeable. Yeah, right."
Amber came out of the kitchen. "Lunch is ready."
The three of us gathered on the small dining table at the equally small kitchen. Amber might steam off a boyish charm, but she sure do can cook like a mother.
We started eating together and chatted. "Hey. How come your boyfriend's not here?" Amber asked.
"He's still sleeping," I replied. "He and Hanbyul went on a movie marathon last night. He even asked me to come, but when I found out they'd go all night, I backed out."
Victoria gulped down her food and waved her spoon dismissively. "When that kid really gets away with something, he overdoes it."
Amber perked up. "Eonni. Luhan's just four years younger than you. He shouldn't be called a kid anymore. I'm even younger than him."
Vic eonni shook her head. "Ah. Non-sense. He still acts like a kid, so, he'll always be a kid to me. Ask Sungchan."
I laughed. "Lulu could really be childish sometimes."
"Anyway," Amber changed the topic, "Christmas is almost near." She ate a spooful. "Have you guys bought gifts yet?"
It suddenly struck me. Oh my. I haven't bought presents yet.
Victoria eonni nodded eagerly. "Of course! I already bought lots of gifts back at China." She drinked from her glass. "But it's
