Han Kyu Ri

I was running towards Tao Oppa's house. He was waiting for me and we were going to watch a movie at the cinema like what we always do every weekend.I saw his tall figure and shouted...

"Oppa! Tao Oppa!"

He heard me and waved in return. Soon enough, I reached him. And I sure as hell was panting.

"Aish. You didn't have to run!" He said as he saw me.

"What are you talking about? We're late."

"We could always watch it at the next time slot.."

I facepalmed myself. I knew he was right.

Sometimes, I wonder why I have friends.

"Come on, let's go to the mall and eat."

He wrapped his arms around my shoulder and messed my hair. I froze at his sudden action.

My heart started to thump. Dugeun dugeun dugeun~

We walked to the mall since it wasn't that far from his house.

"Kyu Ri.."

"Neh? Wae?"

"Why are you so silent?"

I looked up to him only to see him smiling. DUGEUN~ DUGEUN~

I shook my head. I woke up. I released myself from his embrace. And started to walk backwards. 

"No, I'm not. You know, Oppa, I think later, I should get a haircut. I mean, don't you think my hair is already too long? Look at it.."

I was practically blabbing. Yes, I blab when I feel my heart pounding.

":Should I layer it or should I~ WOAH!"

I closed my eyes and the next thing I knew was...I was falling.

Thanks to the stupid rock who preferrred to rest peacefully at the sidewalk.

I was expecting to hit the ground but.. I didn't..

and when I opened my eyes..

Tao was.. Tao was inches away from me.

Our eyes stared into each other.

He catched me.

"Uhm... thanks."

I said as I stood up, awkwardly removing myself from his grasp.

"Thanks for catching me.." I smiled.

HE ALWAYS CATCHES ME WHEN I FALL.

"Of course, I'll catch you. You're like my little sister.."

well, most of the time. 

**********

I was lying on my bed. Crying. Again. 

Unknown to him, every single time he calls me "sister". "sis" , "little sis" and any other synonym of that word, I cry.

I know, I know. My life ... .

I wish he called me like his best friend or something.

Because best friends have the chance of falling in love.. but siblings?

That's just... impossible.

"KYU RI! KYU RIIIIII!"

I heard someone knock on my door. That was probably Ji Yoo eonni, my bestfriend.. Kris' girlfriend and the number one Tao-Ri shipper.

Yes, she's a fan of our otp.

 but there's just one thing.. we're not real.

I groaned as I stood up and opened the door.

"Don't tell me he called you sister again?"

I didn't answer and just sat hopelessly on my bed.

She came closer and sat beside me.

"Cheer up, will you? I know that he loves you. "

"I know he loves me...  as a sister."

She playfully hit my shoulder.

"That's not what I mean. Trust me, Kyu Ri. Tao loves you."

As much as I wanted to believe her, I couldn't.

"YAH! EONNI! Don't you know you're one of the reasons why I feel horrible right now. You made me keep my hopes up."

"Come on, Kyu Ri. It's true. I know that Tao just needs one significant moment to realize that he loves you and he can't let you go.. I can see the way he looks at you when you're not looking. I've known Tao for years now. "

"That's never going to happen.."

"Well, we have to make that moment happen.."

I saw a intriguing grin on her face.

"What do you mean, Eonni?"

"If he can't realize it on his own, we're going to make him realize that it's you he needs.."

I thought for a second. There's no harm in tryimg, right?

"What do you have in mind?"

"It's almost his birthday... let's surprise him. By telling him that you have a boyfriend..'

My eyes widened.

"WHAT?! That's... that's crazy. He won't believe me.."

"He will. Come on, you have lots of suitors. You could just probably show a picture of you and another guy. He would buy it.."

. . ..  . ..  

He probably would buy it.

"Are you in?"

Eonni stared at me, anticipating my answer.

"I'm in.."

So I told myself that I would post this on Tao's birthday but but.. something came up. 

And I decided to cut them into two parts.

Kekekeke~ I'll post it either later or tomorrow..

Nehhh~ Saranghae!
