Before the Last
Us? Dating? (I Wish)-Angelica's POV-
The morning started off with us at the mall. Every store I loved had a sale and I spent around 2 hours in every one of them. We were definitely stuck there for quite a while. Thankfully Hansol didn't seem to mind and was patient with me. He even helped me decide and helped me pick out what I needed the most. When it came for time to pay, Hansol paid instead! I insisted for him not to, but he wouldn't budge. He said it was part of his birthday gift for me and that I shouldn't interfere. I gave up trying change his mind since it seemed impossible. We finished up at the mall around 4 and he took us to the park. I set down my shopping bags on the park bench and he left saying he'd be right back. I'll admit, I was parched. I hadn't eaten anything ever since Hansol picked me up from home.
"Angelica!" I hear someone say in the distance.
I look towards the voice and it was Hansol carrying two ice creams in his hand.
"Green tea for you, and chocolate for me," he smiles and hands me the cone.
"Awh you still remember my favorite. Than-," I hesitantly grabbed the cone from him," Wait. You're not going to do what you did when we were little right?" I reply.
He stayed silent for and silently chuckled," I wasn't planning on it...but now that I think about it, I should've."
"Yah! Hansol!" I playfully slapped his arm.
He continued laughing as he sat down next to me and ate his ice cream.
*Flashback*
~9 years ago~
"Thanks for getting my favorite, Hansol," a six year old Angelica said with a mouthful of ice cream.
"You're welcome Angie," Hansol smiled back.
The two ate in silence. They both were hungrily devouring their treats. Hansol looked at Angelica with a playful smirk. Angelica looks back at him and suddenly stops eating.
"Is there something wrong Hansol?" She asks.
"No. It's just that you have ice cream all over your face," he replies.
"Really?! Where?!" She grabs her napkin ready to wipe off the sticky mess.
"Right here!!" Hansol grabs a small handful of his ice cream from his cup and slaps it onto Angelica's nose and other parts of her face.
"Yah! Hansol!!" Angelica pouts,"That's not funny!"
6 year old Hansol couldn't control his laughter.
"You think it's funny huh?" She says with him not hearing her.
"Fine. Revenge." She smiles and smacks some of her ice cream on his left cheek.
Hansol stops laughing and realizes what his friend has done. He looks at the laughing Angelica expressionless.
"Why did you do that?!" He whines.
"That's what you did to me! Now we're even! Mehrong," she sticks her tongue out at him.
"This isn't over Angie!" Hansol exclaims as he smothers ice cream on her right cheek.
She looked at him in disbelief and yelled,"You better run Hansol!! It's on!!"
The two kids chased each other around the park smacking ice cream on one another.
"Hansol! Angelica!" Mrs. Lee shouts.
Both of them halted their activity and looked at Angelica's mother.
"Annyeong Omma," Angelica smiles.
"Omo, babies! What did you two do?" She asks worriedly.
"He/She started it!" The two say in unison as they point at one another.
"Ani." Hansol says.
"Yes you did!" Angelica pouts.
"Ani." Hansol giggles.
"Waah. Gojitmal. Omma, he started it!" She whines.
"I'm sure he did Angie," Mrs. Lee sighs,"let's go get you two out of this sticky situation that you're in."
*End Flashback*
Both of us resume laughing at our childish acts back then.
"Good times," we said in unison.
"And we did that every time we had ice cream together," Hansol said while shaking his head.
"I still can't believe you lied to my Omma the first time. You started it," I pout.
"You still pout cutely like you did when we were six." He tried to pinch my cheek, but I swiped his hand away.
"Yah! Hajima," I felt my face begin to turn pink at his compliment. Thankfully he didn't notice since the sky was getting darker.
-Hansol POV-
It's starting to get late and I haven't given Angelica the main surprise. I'm excited to how she'll receive it. I just hope it won't be too late.
"It's getting dark. We should head back to your place Angie," I say.
"Sure."
We get up and hail a cab to back to her home.
In fifteen minutes we arrived back at her house. She unlocks the door and invites me in.
"Hmmm, Seokmin Oppa isn't home yet," she says as she drags her feet around the house. She gives up on the search and plops onto the couch sits her bags down next to her.
"Thanks for today Hansol, I had a lot of fun today," she says tiredly but manages to smile beautifully.
"Today isn't over yet. I just wanted you to drop off your shopping bags. Unless you want to call it a day. It would be a shame though for this last one to go to waste." I tell her.
"Another one?! What is it?!" She sits up properly on the couch and sounds more excited.
"Are you sure you're up for it? You seemed pretty tired a while ago Angelica."
"Ani! I'm still full of energy!! I'm ready for whatever it is!" She gets up and jumps on the couch to show off how much energy she has left.
She's so cute. She didn't even have to do that. I move closer and stand right next to where she sat down.
"Okay, here. Close your eyes and hold out your hands."
She did as told. I place the contents of the surprise in her hands. She has to love this one, if she doesn't, it's all over. I move my face closer until it's an inch away from hers.
"You can open your eyes now," I quietly whisper.
I slightly move away from her before she opens her eyes. She looked down at her hands; her eyes bugged and she screeches so loud she could've broken glass.
"Supriseeee.." I say quietly. Is this reaction good or bad?
