3rd Hug

3rd Hug
A 11 years old girl was laying her back on a tree, hearing song and admiring the view of the big meadow. Suddenly, a boy, around her age, accidentally kicked a ball over to her place that it land to her head. He didn't know that it hit her head, but when he saw a girl sitting there, he know he had accidentally hit her. He then run, minimizing the distance and shout,"sorry!", he's not sure whether she could hear him, but at least he shouted his best. She heard him, but didn't care, she then grab the ball and pretend to give it to him. He smile, feeling not as guilty as before. He then stretch out his hand to receive the ball, instead, he's hit in the chest. "Too bad, it's too late for a sorry." she half-shouted. She then turn on her heels to leave, but she felt a grab in her hand, it's warm, like the way his father hold her hand in the last seconds of his life. Thinking of it, she wanted to cry, but not infront of him. She then spin herself 180 degrees, and see that it's the same boy. She then shook it of as the boy say ,"I'm sorry, you know i didn't mean to" "I never say I don't forgive you, and, no one touches me." she said. The end of his lips then turned upwards,not because he's happy, but because he found her cute, but a little bit of 'cruel' too. She's astonished seeing him smile, but then frown at the sight of his lips getting back to normal. He then say, "well, yeah, but you don't say I'm forgiven too, and instead of handing me the ball, you hit me straight in the chest. " he reasoned out. "yeah, I don't forgive you, but I too, don't say that you do it purposely" she spat the words at him. She then walk down the meadow not minding his reply, before she could finish her 4th step, she found herself standing before him. "what do you want that you keep getting into my way" "simple, your name" "after accidentally hit a ball to my head, you want my name?" she asked sarcastically. He don't reply with words, but with a couple of nods. "well, for your information, I don't tell strange my name." she said. Trying to walk again but he didn't budge. She then side step as he did the same. "what again now, is my information not enough?" she said-asked. He then chuckled softly and say,"then let us not be strangers anymore." He then stretch out his hand ," hi, my name is Lee chan hee, I'm sorry I made a bad impresion the first time we met." he said, cutely. "I don't care." she side step again, but this time faster. And when she's about to start walking ," you don't have to be that cold you know." he mumbled. Though he mumble, she can hear him. She then face back to him and say," my name is Park minyoung, and that's all I'm gonna say." He's astonished, but at the same time happy, he then stretch out his hand one more time to her direction and as she shook it. "you know, I'm actually not that easy." she said. "you're not" he said to her with a smile. 5 years later "ya, minyoung a~~." chanhee said in a provocative tone. "What's wrong with your tone?" she asked while rummaging her stuff that she wants to bring to the orphanage. "You know that I'm good at singing right?" he asked, while playing with his fingers. "yeah, why?" she asked, but can't help to think 'why? he don't really like to show it of'. "well, how if I become an idol?" he asked. She stop to think for awhile, then say "well, it's possible, but you do know we're in seongnam right? Hallyu stars are all in seoul, if you really want it, big possibility, you have to go to seoul" "yeah." "are you planning becoming one?" "ugh, no." She wanted to ask again, but refuse to, and decided to just resume her work. "btw, chanhee ah, why don't you follow us to the orphanage?" she asked again "ugh, well, I just didn't like kids that much" "but that time, you told me you loved kids." "just not in the mood." She frown at his statement, but just when she's about to talk again. He say," well, can you turn around?" right now she was facing him. "uh, okay." she said. As she did that, he backhugged her. She was shocked, but can't help but liking the warmness they share. The first time they hugged was when they we're 13, when they both we're on the detention slip because making the flower pot slip (it was actually minyoung fault, but chanhee insisted it was his fault). The teacher got dizzy and cause them both to be putten in the detention slip. minyoung slip on the flip ladder while she was cleaning the window, the ladder was not locked. Chanhee was beside her, guarding her when it happened. She fall on top of him and the ladder fall to the side. She was shocked, when she was about to push herself of him, he pull her by the waist until there were not more space between them. She was beyond shocked her heart race like she was in a marathon. He put both his hands around her. They stay that way in a minute or two until she say," uh chanhee, we have to finish this before 4.30, if not we're locked here until tomorrow." she said, she was so scared that her heart burst out of her chest. "huh, it's good if it's only the two of us until tomorrow." though he said that, he lossen his grip. She was astonished. But force herself to roll to the side when he let go his grip. And the second was when they we're 15 on a school trip, camping. It was when minyoung followed a rabbit into the forest, chanhee was following her, scared that she would get lost. That time they both are unaware. It was until they lost the rabbit and realised, they don't see any tent, and worse, all thick, tall tree. They were both brave, but who knows if there is bear nearby. Chanhee then grab her hand when finding a way out. It was already 30 minutes that they're lost. Until a creature show out of nowhere and minyoung cursed, chanhee then pull her to a hug, she was shocked and her heart began to accelerate. "it was just a cat." chanhee said, comforting her back. She is relieved, but it's not like she's aware that time. She then hugged him back enjoying the heat they both share. But it don't last long. They parted, they sky is getting darker, it's going to be night in no time. She's getting scared. She is scared, it's the same as the book «the girl who loved tom gordon» by stephen king. Until a flashlight shone against the darkness to their place. "minyoung ah! chanhee a! Is that you?" shin yongjae sangsangim broke the silent. Chanhee then spoke up "yea! It's us!" he shout back. When they we're nearing yongjae, yongjae ask," are you guys dating?" in a mischievous tone. "no!" minyoung shouted as chanhee say "i don't know." at the same time. The three of the look at each other (well, except chanhee.) and act like it never happened. And now, is the third time. She's shocked beyond words. She think of the first, second, and now. "I know you are thinking of the first and second time we hugged." chanhee spoke up, "and at the second time, there's time when yongjae sangsangim asked if we dated and you said no.. Do you wanna start dating me now?" he continued. 'is it a confession?' she thought. She's so shocked. He then turned her body. Making her face him. "do you wanna be my girlfriend?" she sealed her lips perfectly, not knowing what to answer him. They're face were inches away, "you know, i've loved you for so long, i even indirectly say it out when you fall from that ladder, but it seems like it's too hard for you to understand" she still didn't sound. His right hand then travel up to her cheeck, and say "i've always loved you" he said as his eyes travel to her lips. She didn't know whyvshe said that, but she say it out," i love you too." she said. His eyes is big, and now his eyes is even bigger, he never expect her to say that one. He then near his lips to her ear and say," then, will you let me kiss you?" he said with a smirk. She's shocked, but noded with a smile. His lips the reach hers as they share a long, passionate kiss. "i never thought you're a good kisser." She said. "hey! That's my first you know!" he answered back. "and i never expect you to answer me that way, i never even thought you like me." he continued. "i'm a good keeper. Haha." she smile-laughed. Chanhee then hugged her and say," now we're datting, aren't we?" "yea" she replied while hugging him back. Not long after.. "Minyoung ah! Are you coming?" her mother shouted while opening her door. Then stop at her track seeing them hug when they parted. "uh~, i'm sorry guys.. but.. my guess is right! You guys are dating!" "well, we've actually just start datting." he said as minyoung bump his arm. "ah ok, sorry to interrupt, but we've got to go now." "may i join you guys?" chanhee ask out of the blue. Minyoungs mother then eyed the two and say," sure, but be fast or we'll leave, or maybe, i leave." "okay!" Chanhee replied. As minyoung mother left the room, she asked," i thought you hate kids!" she reasoned out. "i just thought i must find a time without you, cause i thought you'll for sure reject me, i'm trying to make myself dislike you." he reasoned back. "pabo." "yea, i know." "get ready, i'll wait you here." she said with a smile she tried to hide. "okay! Be right back!" Chanhee said with a big smile plastered on his face. 'Dad-in-law, you don't have to worry, I'll always take care of her.'
