Chapter Four

Distance

(Continuation)

On the other hand, Jinhwan’s friends went to a fast food chain and had their conversation.

“eh Junhoe, did you see Jinhwan’s face when he saw his sis’s best friend?” Bobby said while laughing.

“Neh. He’s face is so stupid.” They all chuckled.

“Hyungs. Don’t you know the saying?  If you’re in love to someone, you’re totally stupid at everything.” Chanwoo said.

“So Jinhwan is stupid because he’s in love? That’s awful man!” Yunhyeong said.

“You’re just saying that because you didn’t fall in love like Jinhwan.” Donghyuk said bitterly.

“How about you? Did you fall in love with someone like Jinhwan?” Bobby asked.

“No.” Donghyuk replied.

“why are you so bitter hyung?” Chanwoo asked curiously. They all went quiet waiting for Donghyuk’s answer.

“Because I want to be stupid like Jinhwan. I never fell in love. Help me!”

They all laughed really hard.

“Stop teasing Jinhwan. He’s very quiet.” Junhoe said and all of them stared at Jinhwan’s face looking far away.

Jinhwan noticed them staring at him.

“Why are you staring at me?” he asked while he’s face was shocked.

“We’re so noisy here and you didn’t even notice that?” bobby said.

“Who were you thinking hyung?” Chanwoo asked innocently.

“Chanwoo, do we have to ask him that? Of course his sister’s friend.” They all again cheered up.

“Can you please stop? You’re so noisy. You will disturb other customers.” Jinhwan complained.

“She’s so damn beautiful Jinhwan. Do you know her name?” Yunhyeong asked.

“No”

“Ask your sister.” Bobby recommended.

“Where’s Hanbin?” Jinhwan changed the topic. He didn’t want his friends talk about him and his crush.

“He said he’s coming.” Donghyuk replied.

“Your step sister is a chic.” Junhoe said and looks like he’s interested with Sarah.

Jinhwan chuckled. “You like her?”

“I’m just interested. Why? You’ll not allow me to like her if ever?”

Jinhwan smirked. “I will not do that. I’ll let you do everything to her. Whatever you want.”

“You’re so mean to your step sister.” Chanwoo suddenly said.

“They always argue. Right Jinhwan?” Bobby asked.

Donghyuk suddenly shouted like a girl. “Junhoe is also in love with Jinhwan’s sister. He’s also going to be stupid like Jinhwan.”

“Stop it Donghyuk.” Junhoe covered his mouth and they all chuckled.

“I didn’t say I’m in love with Jinhwan’s sister. I’m just interested with her.”

“then what’s next after the stage you’re saying Junhoe?” Yunhyeong asked and all of them went quiet.

“Of course he will fall in love with Jinhwan’s sister!!” Donghyuk shouted again.

“Aissh! Donghyuk!” Junhoe covering Donghyuk’s mouth.

Suddenly, a girl customer approached them in the middle of their childish conversation.

“excuse me.”

They all looked at her.

“Can you please minimize your voices? You’re not the only customer staying here. Arasso?” she madly said.

They all nodded like a kid.

“Great.” She said and left. As she left, the boys were looking at her long legs.

“wetwew.” Bobby said.

“That chic is so hot man.” Chanwoo said.

“Hanbin!” followed Jinhwan’s gaze.

Hanbin sat with a face that cannot be painted.

“What’s with that face?” Jinhwan started.

“I’m having my OJT tomorrow.”

“What? That means you cannot hang out with us anymore?” Bobby said so worried.

“*smirked* I won’t let that happen.”

“That’s our boy.” They all chuckled.

“Hey Hanbin. We have something to share to you.” Donghyuk said excitedly.

“What is it?”

“ehhh Donghyuk. Stop it.” Jinhwan said.

“Jinhwan is in love!!” They all cheered.

“Jinja?!”

“aish! These boys are so irritating.” Jinhwan murmured.

And the boys continued their childish conversation.

~MEANWHILE~

~At Sarah’s room~

Sarah was busy with her new song. She loves writing and creating songs. She has an angelic voice.

“La la la la la.” Sarah was trying to sing her song.

In the middle of her busyness, her phone rang.

“Louis? Why did you call? Isn’t it your OJT?”

“It’s our break time.”

“Is there any problem?”

“I’m going to have my partner starting tomorrow.”

“You sound like you’re not happy with the news.”

“I’m absolutely not happy.”

“who’s your partner?”

“Kim Hanbin. The one we’re talking about at fast food chain.”

“*gasps* jinja!? Oooohhhh. I’m so excited.”

“Excited for what?”

“I’m excited what will happen next.”

“I will not let him be my partner. I will talk to dad about this.”

“I wanna meet him. I’m interested with him.”

“Don’t even think about it.”

“I know what will be the title of my new song.”

“You’re writing a new song?”

“Neh. The title  will be “Partner”. I’ll let you listen to it if I have finished it.”

“No thanks.”

Sarah chuckled.

“I have to go Sarah.”

“Okay bye.”

~Call Ended~

“Omoo! I’m so excited.” Sarah almost jumped out of her chair.

“Why are you talking about Hanbin?”

“Waaaa!! Jinhwan! You scared me. waeyo? Do you know Kim Hanbin?”

“Neh. He’s my friend.”

“Jinja!?”

“Neh.”

Jinhwan took her guitar.

“Hey give me that.”

“You’re making a new song?”

“Neh.”

Jinhwan smirked.

“What?”

“I’m sure the outcome is ugly.”

“excuse me. I never made a song that is ugly.”

Jinhwan imitates you. “excuse me. I never made a song that is ugly.”

“Oh I remember. We’re not done yet. Did dad know you have this activity called skateboarding with your friends?”

Jinhwan suddenly remembered what happened that time.

~FLASHBACK~

“No need.” you said and stood up and face him.

“So you’re Kim Jinhwan. My best friend’s step brother.”

Jinhwan just paused. He was looking at you like he’s viewing something beautiful.

“I-I’am s-so sorry.” He was stammering.

Jinhwan’s friends noticed what’s happening so they went to Jinhwan.

“Jinhwan-ah!” his friend shouted.

“Next time be more careful.”

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Jinhwan also remembered his conversation with friends.

~FLASHBACK~

“She’s so damn beautiful Jinhwan. Do you know her name?” Yunhyeong asked.

“No”

“Ask your sister.” Bobby recommended.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

“Jinhwan. Are you okay?”

“What’s her name?”

“huh? Who?”

“The girl I hit at the foot with my skateboard.”

“Oh that. Her name is…” Jinhwan excitedly waiting for her sister to say your name.

“I won’t tell you.”

“What?! But why?!”

“Let’s say, I don’t trust you.”

“but I just want to know her name. just give me her name.”

“You want her name?”

“I wouldn’t ask you if I don’t want her name.”

“Work for it.”

“What do you mean?”

Sarah just smirked,

“This is going to be fun.” She thought.

~Evening~

~At your house~

Since your dad is not busy, you decided to talk to him.

“Uhm dad?”

“Yes honey?”

“I have something to complain.”

“Complain? What is it?”

“I don’t want Kim Hanbin to be my partner.”

“But he’s the only one available as your partner.”

“Then I’ll exchange partner with other trainees.”

“Even if you do that, it won’t work.”

“What? Why?”

“I promised to Mr. Kim that Hanbin will be your partner until the end of your OJT,”

“But dad.”

“I have to keep my promise. Don’t worry, you’ll learn to jive with him.”

You disapprovingly looked down.

“It’s almost late. Go to sleep. I’m sure Hanbin is excited to be your partner.” Your dad cheering you up.

“stop it dad.”

Your dad chuckled.
