Leader or Love
Chapter 3
[Hankyung]
That guy is seriously a brat. I told him to come here at 10:00 and he still isn’t here!
“Hmm…it’s already 11:00…stupid brat.” I sighed.
“Hankyung.”
“Oh it’s you. Finally you’re here.”
“My name isn’t ‘you.’ It’s Kim Heechul.”
“Okay…sure.”
“Hey, how come you know how to speak Korean?” He asked.
“Oh, my aunt lives in Korea and she taught me.”
“Oh okay, let’s go.”
“Where?”
“The mall.”
“I thought you wanted a tour.”
“I do…the tour of the mall.”
“Fine, let’s go.” I sighed.
“Yes!” Heechul ran off.
Some tour. I smirked. I suddenly felt a chill on my spine. Must be cold today…
[Heechul]
“Hey Hankyung, is this store good?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you mean? How can you not know?”
“Um…I’m not that rich.”
“Oh, true. Is there anything fun to do?”
“What do you want to do?”
“Anything. Are you hungry?”
“No.” Then we heard his stomach growl.
“I think we should eat.” I laughed.
“Okay…”His cheeks became red.
We went to an expensive restaurant and we sat down.
“Hm…what do you want to eat?” I asked him.
Hankyung flipped the menu and put it down. “These are expensive.”
“No. They’re affordable.”
“$12.00 for appetizers and $30.00 for the main course!”
“It tastes good.”
“There’s so little on the plate! An infant would not be full!”
“Well what do you want me to do?!” I demanded.
Hankyung grabbed my hands and walked out of the restaurant.
“Where are you taking me?” I tried to pull away.
“You’ll see.” He tightened his grip a little.
He’s not going to… “Rape! Rape!” I shouted.
“Sh! I’m just gonna show you what real food tastes like.” He covered my mouth.
“What do you mean?”
“Just wait.”
We exited the restaurant and I followed Hankyung, with his hand still holding mine.
[Hankyung]
“Are we there yet?” Heechul asked.
“Almost.”
“I’m tired.”
“Just wait a little longer princess.”
“Fine.”
We arrived at a little stall with tables set up.
“This is it?” Heechul analyzed the old stall.
“Yup. I’ve been eating here since I was a kid.” I smiled.
“Hm…that explains a lot.” Heechul nodded.
“Heyt! Watch it. At least you’re getting food.” Spoiled brat.
“Fine. Sorry.”
“Wow, this princess actually said sorry.”
“Be grateful. You’re the first person.”
“Okay, well let’s go order some food.”
“Yeah.”
“Two plates of chow mein, please.”
“Hai.” The lady said.
“Hey, what’s chow mein?” Heechul asked as we sat down.
“You’ll see.”
“Two chow mein. Enjoy.” She set it down and left.
“What is this?!” Heechul demanded.
“Chow mein.”
“This looks like yellow strings with vegetables and grease!” Heechul stuck out his tongue.
“Eat it or leave it.” I pulled apart my chopsticks.
“I’ll eat it.” Heechul sighed.
“Okay.” I started eating.
Heechul pulled apart his chopsticks and stuck it into the noodles.
“This won’t hurt me right?” He looked worried.
“No.”
“I don’t know…I have a sensitive stomach.”
“Just eat.”
“Okay…” Heechul took a little and chewed it. His eyes widened.
“Are you okay?” I asked him. Maybe he does have a sensitive stomach.
“This is…” Heechul started to say.
“This is what?”
[Heechul]
“This is delicious! I take back the greasy yellow strings comment!” I smiled.
“You better.” Hankyung laughed. His laugh was cute.
I scarfed down my plate and felt so full. It was the first time I had eaten so much.
“Hey.”
“What?”
“You got noodles all over your face.” Hankyung picked up a napkin and dapped the corners of my lips.
“Thanks.” My heart pounded rapidly. Do I like him? My heart has never pounded this fast…
“A rich person can also be sloppy. I see.” Hankyung smiled.
“Yeah…”
“You know….” He looked away.
“What?” My heart pounded as he leaned closer.
“You remind me of Eunhyuk.”
“What?” Who’s that? His girlfriend? Is it?!
“Oh really…where is Eunhyuk?” I asked casually.
“Oh, he left…” Hankyung said softly. Yes! Whoo! Chance!
“…just for the summer.” Hankyung smiled. Dammit.
“I see. So you’re alone huh?”
“Yeah, but I have you now.”
I smiled. He has me. Damn straight Eunhyuk.
“Still, I miss Eunhyuk.” Hankyung sighed. Damn. Stupid, get over him! You have me! Grr…
“Heechul, are you okay? You seem mad.”
“Mad? Oh no.” I’m super pissed.
“Okay. Where do you want to go now?”
“Oh. I don’t know.”
Suddenly three men in black walked up to us.
