CHAPTER 009: Donhyuk And Bad Car Rides      

      "Can you not!?" 

        "Well, it's not my fault you're huge!"   Kris rolls his eyes and scoots farther away from you, which is hard in the crowded car. Nana is taking up a lot of space. Lucy and your mother are on the front, Lucy driving.         "Why are you guys fighting?" She mumbles, eyes looking at the road and still trying to focus on foreign directions since she's never driven in Korea.         "Nothing..." Kris mumbles but you're a bit whinier about the situation so you don't stay quiet.         "It is NOT 'nothing'," you retort, "Kris is pushing me and I'm squeezed in here!"    Kris scoffs and he does not stay quiet at the accusations, even if they are true.         "Lucy, it's not my fault! Hana is fat! Besides, Nana is here too," then he leans in and adds with a hiss, "and she's not the usual size grandmother, if you know what I mean..."   Nana and you hit him at the same time.         "I'm not fat!" Both of you yell in unison at him. Kris rolls his eyes and leans back with an annoyed pout.      **********          20 minutes later, you arrive at the airport. You meet Donhyuk, Lucy's husband, or more like future husband since she's yet to get married.    You greet eachother for the first time in person and investigate him closely. He's very tall, your father's height, and very good looking. He looks like he could be actor material.            "OH. MY. GOD." Lucy suddenly says when you reach the car in the airport's parking lot, looking like she just found out the most terrifying truth ever.          "What's wrong?" Your mother urges. Kris runs towards her in a second and looks at her face, making sure his sister is okay and healthy.          "We don't have enough space on the car! Where is Donhyuk going to sit?" She refers to her husband and  looks back bewildered. Donhyuk waits for someone to find a solution.   You frown and Kris shrugs while Nana rolls her eyes.         "Well then..." Nana says, "there's only one way to do this."         **************           "I am not going to sit on his lap!" You yell at your mom. She slaps you in the back, knocking out the air out of your lungs.           Kris rolls his eyes, but he's secretly amused about the outcomes of this. He doesn't care if you sit on his lap or not because at the end he still finds you unattractive.        "Can't I sit on your lap?" You ask your mother, begging and pleading, as long as you don't sit on Kris's lap.    Your mother stares at you in disbelief.          "Are you crazy? You'll break me!" She scoffs. Your mother is a petite short woman, while you are taller and slightly thicker (thanks to your father).        "Mom!" You whine. You finally notice that Lucy is biting her lip and that her fiancé, Donhyuk, seems like he's thinking he's a bother.    You take a deep breath and with a deep frown that shows how much you hate everyone right now, you get in the car and sit on Kris's lap, falling down on him like a sack of potatoes. He groans because you purposely put a lot of force into the fall.          You don't see it, but Nana and your mom secretly smile. They find it quite amusing to see you teens in an uncomfortable situation.   Lucy drives, Donhyuk seats on the passenger seat, Nana and your mom seat on the back with Kris, and of course you on his lap.    You're squeezed with Kris against the left door of the car. Your mom sits on the middle and next to her is Nana. None of you can breath, Nana is a big lady.   You refuse to look at Kris while the car starts. There is luggage on your feet so it makes everything worse because it gets difficult to find a right position to sit in. He's holding onto the handle above the door of the car. You sit across his lap, with your face facing the window, and your back facing your mother and Nana. Your hands are on your lap, looking like a polite person. You can feel Kris's breathing, his chest moving up and down, against your arm. His other hand is sitting awkwardly in between your bodies, Lying flat across his crotch to atleast, "keep some distance."   Lucy is a terrible driver. She keeps stopping and going and then stopping and taking wrong turns and it's awful. Your mother would drive but she doesn't have her license, she lost it and will replace it soon. Lucy's husband, Donhyuk, doesn't know this part of town and will probably get lost and Lucy was the only hope left. She's been here a bunch of times before (since she visited you a lot as a kid) but she still manages to get confuse. Still, she's your only hope.    It's a long ride because you're heading to a dress parlor, where you'll try on the dress Lucy wants you to wear to the wedding (and Kris's stupid tuxedo, too).   Donhyuk is sleeping on the passengers seat. Nana and your mother look like they're in dreamland too but you're not sure. Lucy is humming the song from the radio and she looks very tranquil.    Throughout the trip, you haven't even glanced at Kris's face but now you're itching to look at him and check if he's sleeping.           "My legs are numb," you hear him say. You frown and finally look at him, you're closer than you want to be and it annoys you, it's not like you can do something about it. He has his eyes open, facing the window and watching scenery after scenery past by.          You actually feel a little bad about what he said. But it's not like you're having a fun time either.    Kris finally faces you, seeing as you're not saying anything back about his comment. You frown at the look he's giving you. He seems surprise and skeptical.         "What?" You as
