“Come here Hana! Let oppa give you a kiss!”

“Eww go away! Oh my god, yuck!” Hana wiped off the spot on her cheek where Sandeul just kissed.

We just found out we got picked to perform on the show case. We were happy and nervous at the same time.

“Let’s celebrate!” Sandeul said, still holding Hana in his arms.

“Yah, you sounded more excited than us.” Hana said.

“Of course! Oppa is so proud of you right now! Pick a place, my treat!”

“Oh can I pick?” Baro said.

“No.”

“Why?” he pouted, hitting Sandeul’s hand.

“Let’s just get on the bus first.” Hana said, dragging Sandeul along.

The both of them continued talking while hitting each other. I saw Sandeul messing Hana’s hair and she pinched his cheeks, laughing.

Why can’t my step brother be like Sandeul?

---

It started raining before I got on the bus. Hana gave me her umbrella so I won’t be wet again. Jin Young, Shin Woo and I take the same bus while the others take the other line.

This time, I took the single seat. I didn’t want to sit beside anyone. Last Saturday I woke to find myself sleeping on Jin Young’s shoulder. It was quite embarrassing but lucky he didn’t say anything.

None of us spoke during the ride, until it reached Shin Woo’s stop.

“See you guys tomorrow. Congrats Mia.” He saluted me.

I smiled and waved at him as he got off the bus.

Then, Jin Young motion me over to the empty seat next to him. I shook my head and quickly looked out the window, until someone tapped my shoulder from behind. It was Jin Young.

“Is the view over here nicer?” he asked.

“Erm, I think so.”

He put his arms on my chair and rested his head on it.

I sat straight instead of leaning back on the chair so I won’t touch him. I tend to get a little nervous when I’m around Jin Young lately. It’s normal to be nervous around a boy right?

“Oh, here’s my stop.” He said, sitting up straight.

“Okay, good bye.”

But he didn’t move.

“Erm, the door is closing.” I said.

“I know.” He said, smiling.

“So why aren’t you getting down?”

He put his arms back on my chair and lay his head on it, looking at me.

“I just feel like walking you home today.” He smiled, again.

My heart fluttered when he said that. He chuckled as I heard the door closing.

“You don’t mind, right?”

I shook my head. I didn’t even know why I did that.

“Okay.” He said, looking out the window.

I can’t help but to think why would he want to walk me home when he could have just gone home and avoid the rain instead.

---

“Wow.”

“What?” I asked.

“This is your house?” he said, pointing at my house.

“Yeah.”

“Wow, it’s huge!”

“Erm, not really. Thank you for walking me home.”

I took out my keys and open the small gate at the side on the entrance.

“Hey.” Jin Young said.

“Yes?”

“I, erm….n-nothing.” He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Okay.” I said, but it feels like he wants something. “Is there anything you need?”

He looked up at me and shook his head. “Er, well i..erm.. How do I go back to the bus stop?”

I laughed. “Let me walk you there.”

He stood in front of me and shakes his hand. “It’s okay. Just tell me where.”

“Okay. Just keep going straight and you’ll see it on your right.”

I nodded and put his hands in his pocket, but he didn’t move.

“I’ll just walk you there.” I said, closing the gate.

“It’s okay, I’ll be fine.” He smiled. “Bye.”

He turned back a few times to wave at me and ask me to go into my house.

Later, he called me because he was bored waiting for the bus and he wanted to talk to someone. So we ended up talking nonsense for about half an hour.

“Hey, it’s been so long. Is the bus still not here yet?”

“No, I’m already in the bus.” He chuckled.

“You lied!”

I heard him laughing until he started coughing.

“S-sorry.” He continued laughing.

“If only I knew, I would have hang up on you!”

“But you didn’t.”

“I thought you were really alone. My hand hurts for holding the phone for so long.”

“Don’t deny it. You just want to talk to me.”

“You, urgh, enough.”

He laughed. “You’re so cute when your angry, Mia.”

I stopped what I was doing when he said that.

Cute. He thinks I’m cute.

“Hey, I need stop by my locker. I’ll meet you guys at the music room.”

“Okay. It’s room 4.”

I nodded at Hana and took my guitar from the floor.

“I’ll take it.” Yuri took my guitar.

“Thanks.”

I went the opposite direction from them and headed to my locker.

Three days left before the showcase. We’ll be having a full rehearsal tomorrow, so we’re staying back for practice today.

“Ommo, Mi yan?” I heard someone said.

I turned my head and saw the person I wasn’t expecting to see.

“Hello, Jin Ah.” I said, closing my locker.

“Oh, congratulations for being pick!” she held her hand out. I nodded and shook it.

“Thank you.”

“We should celebrate! Where are the rest?”

“We have practice now.”

“Oh, can I come and watch?”

“I’m not sure whether you-”

“Oh don’t be silly. Come let’s go. Where are they?”

She put her arms over my shoulder and walked with me. I can see everyone looking at us and whispering to themselves.

This is not a good idea.

---

“What the.” Hana said, looking at me.

“Sorry.” I said. “I tried to stop her.”

“It’s okay.” Hana said, patting my back.

“I will just sit here and watch. Don’t mind me.” Jin Ah waved her hand and sat on a chair.

I started tuning my guitar while Hana and Yuri warm up their voices.

“Hana.” Jin Ah suddenly said.

“Yes?”

“I seldom see your brother these days. Are they busy writing songs again?”

“Yeah.” Hana answered her annoyingly.

“Okay. I can’t wait to hear their new songs. Oh Mi Yan, have you met her brother?”

I nodded, not looking at her.

Hana told me Sandeul and the other 4 are in a band call B1A4. They are the first ever band in our school and that’s why they are really famous. Although I haven’t see them perform, but I have heard Sandeul singing when I’m at their house. He sounded really good.

Then it hit me.

Hana told me that Jin Ah is interested in one of them, but she had never mentioned his name before.

Could it be Jin Ah came here not because she wants to see our performance, but she wants to meet him?

It’s not Sandeul, it’s not Baro either because he’s taken.

So there are three people left.

The sound coming from the piano broke off my thoughts.

“Jin Ah, you would have to leave if you keep playing that piano.” Hana said.

“Oh, sorry.” She giggled and turned to face us.

Hana rolled her eyes and look at us. “Can we make her leave?”

“How?” Yuri whispered.

“Sorry.” I said.

“It’s not your fault. Okay so we can say that-”

The door suddenly open and we saw two boys standing there.

“Oppa!” Yuri said.

“Hey baby.” Baro said and walked in until he saw Jin Ah.

“Annyeonghaseyo!” she greeted him happily. “It’s been a while! How are you?”

Baro? She likes Baro?

“Erm, good.”

Then Gong chan walked in, looking surprised himself.

Before he could even open his mouth, we heard laughter.

Sandeul, Shin Woo and Jin Young walked in.

Jin Ah greeted them happily and started talking nonstop.

“Oppa, can you make her leave?” Yuri pulled Baro’s shirt.

“We’ll try.”

Baro walked up to the boys and talked to them.

“Urgh I can’t stand her.” Hana said, rubbing her forehead.

“Jin Ah, come watch us practice.” Baro suddenly said.

“What? Is that the best way he can think of?” Yuri whispered to us.

Jin Ah clapped her hand happily and nodded. “Oh I would love too!”

“If only she’s not our school president’s daughter, I would already drown her!” Yuri hissed.

The boys waved at us and headed to the door.

But Jin Young turned back and ran towards me.

“Take this.” He took my hand and put something on my palm. “This is my lucky guitar pick. I want you to have it.”

“But i-”

“We’ll come back later.” He smiled and ruffled my head. “All the best!”

“Ooo…” Hana said, nudging me. “Lucky eh?”

“Not funny.”

“I was hoping oppa can watch us sing.” Yuri said, sighing out loud.

I looked over to the door and Jin Ah touching Baro’s hat.

So he’s the one she likes?

“Hana.”

“Hmm?”

“You said Jin Ah likes someone, could it be-”

I wanted to say Baro, but I didn’t.

Because what I saw made me stop.

Jin Ah linked her arms with Jin Young and giggle as she touched his hair.

“Oppa, I like your new hairstyle.”

Oppa? She calls him oppa?

“Oppa, can you sing that love song you sang on stage last month? I really love that song!”

Jin Young pulled away and grabs his guitar from the floor.

“Let’s go, Jin Ah.” He said as they both left our room.

“Yes Mia.” Hana said as she sat down. “The one she likes is Jin Young oppa.”
