~~~       

                We walk into about 6 different stores within an hour; unfortunately with no results. However, the hour did help with something; my irritableness was gone and we started talking about random stuff again. We finally finish the ground floor of the mall, and are walking around the halls of the second when someone shouts,

"HYUNG!!!!!!!"   I turn around to see two guys, one who looks around my age and one who looks about 24.

                The younger one is runs head first towards us, and then jumps right at Donghae, knocking  right into him. What  I’m  the most curious about, however, is not who they are, but how that guy manages to keep his cap on the whole time. The way he wears it makes it look like it’d been blown off by the lightest gust of wind. It’s a real mystery if you ask me.  

The older looking one walks towards us and says "Someone got too excited," chuckling quietly.

                He looks so... I don’t have the word to describe him…Perfect?  He’s tall, built, and is just really statuesque; even more attractive than a lot of celebrities and models.  The younger one, on the other hand, is exactly the opposite; he’s just SO CUTE!  He has small-ish eyes, is also quite tall, well taller than Donghae but shorter than the other guy, and has such CUTE CHUBBY CHEEKS!! Which are rare to see in guys who are older than 14. Donghae and Cutie play fight slightly, while the older one just watches, they all chuckle and laugh for a few minutes until Cutie looks at me. He turns to Donghae, confused, and asks,

"Hyung... Who is she?" He has an accent, maybe he's not Korean.

"Her name is Gaheun,"  Donghae answers, smiling at me.

"Oh! The one who ... Who..."  Cutie began, but I guess he didn't know some words, since he started to scratch his head a little, almost like he was trying to dig into his head for the right words. He can’t finish his sentence. Haha. Aww... so cute.

"Hi, I'm Siwon."  Statue man introduces himself while gesturing a salute with two fingers.

"I'm Henry,"  The cutie added

"Hi" I say to both of them, in English out of habit.

"You know English?!?!"  Henry asks excitedly, almost shouting.

"Yep!!!"  I smile at him.  Finally, someone else who speaks ENGLISH!!

"Finally, someone else who can speak ENGLISH!!"  He exclaims.  WOAH. Hahahahahaha, he totally just read my mind and took those words from my mouth.

I just smile at him, "I came from Canada, so I sorta have to know English," I say in a light tone.

"I'm from Canada too! Wow! That’s so amazing." He replies, his eyes bulging out with excitement. Meanwhile, Siwon and Donghae just stand there and watch us talk, intrigued and yet, confused.

"... Can you two speak in Korean please? We don't get it" Donghae asks,

"Yep" Henry and I say in unison. Oops, speak Korean, Gahean, Korean.

                The two didn't stay for long; apparently they had some errands to run. I found out that Siwon is actually younger than Donghae by a few months, and that Henry is a year older than me. Also, they knew about how I helped Donghae that one night, and said that a lot of people owed me.  What's with that group and owing people?  I already said nothing was owed.  We ended up sitting at a table for a bit, as they talked. And this is embarrassing but, I couldn't stop watching Henry, he is just SO cute, and he's like one of the prime examples of a 'big kid'.

                As they walk away, you could hear mumbling between the two, suddenly Henry’s voice booms as he says, "Hyung's soo lucky she saved him!! And she's SOO PRETTY!"   Aha, he's so cute. Even though he's older than me, I still find him cute. That's not weird is it?  After hearing Henry's exclamation, Donghae chuckles and says, "I think you have a fan"

"Haha, maybe." This makes Donghae chuckle again.

"Well tonight was a failure." He says with a sigh.

"What? How?"

"We didn't find the shirt."   OH CRAP. I forgot about that.

"The mall's closing now... We gotta go. You hungry?"  He asks, the slight worry in his tone gone.

"Crap... I'm gonna be so dead when Yejin unnie finds out."  I say, as I imagine what my death will be like when she gets back… probably a slow, torturous death…

"... Let's just say you're hungry too then."  He concludes as we leave the mall.
