Spring Equinox: Chapter 3
Chapter 3:
I was expecting that my grandparents actually missed me. I mean they haven’t seen me as much as they can. They would only visit us for like a month or so that is why I was expecting a large hug from them both. Imagine my surprise when Halmeoni flew herself towards the person I now dubbed ‘Hyunnie’s Robber’. Alright, maybe I should just call him the ‘Robber’ but I like my name attach to it. Cough. Nevertheless, Hyunnie’s Robber, not only stole my suitcase but also my family. They adore him so much!
“Young Master! Why are you carrying that heavy bag?” my Halmeoni fussed over which made my mother laugh. “Eomeoni, stop spoiling Yonghwa. He is strong enough to carry two luggages.”
Halmeoni gave my mom a scary glare before slapping her head, “You never grow up, YoungAl-yah!”
Yong gave them his cute... I mean... umm... alright he gave them his cute smile with his barely-there-dimple showing its way to charm both my omma and halmeoni. “Don’t worry, Halmeoni. Imo is right; I’m strong enough to carry their luggage besides my Abeoji always told me to never let a woman carry heavy things. And Halmeoni, no need to call me Young Master.”
“But...” Halmeoni was about to explain but realize I was standing just behind the Young Master. Wait... why is Halmeoni calling Hyunnie’s Robber as Young Master? Is his parent that important? Is he some rich chaebol I don’t know about?
I was about to ask them when a hug knocks my breath out, “Hyunnie! Uri Hyunnie!” My halmeoni’s voice said happily that I can’t help but smile and hug her.
I’ll interrogate my mother later but now I’ll enjoy my Halmeoni’s hug. “I miss you so much!” I told her and a wise voice suddenly said, “How about your harabeoji?”
Breaking away from my grandmother, I ran happily to my grandfather and jump to his embrace. “Aigoo!” he groaned, “Uri Hyunnie has really grown. This old man can’t carry you anymore.”
I gave him a huge grin and another fierce hug. “I miss you too, Harabeoji!” I really miss them. They are my most favorite people in the whole wide world and I know they love me too, since I’m there only grandchild. You see my mom is the only child of the family and I don’t have any sibling making me their one and only granddaughter. They always spoil me when they visit us. They would buy me anything I want and treat me like a princess.
“I told you this vacation would be fun.” My mom said happily, as she rubs her head comically. My halmeoni gave my mom a hard glare, “Did you force uri Seohyunnie in this vacation?”
“What?” my mom answered, “Of course not! Eomeoni, you know I need to go back. It’s time for us to visit you.” She emphasized and she has this look as if she’s conveying something secret to Halmeoni. I saw halmeoni gave her a very short nod that made me suspicious but before I could remark on it. I felt my Harabeoji let go of me and gave a bear hug to Hyunnie’s Robber.
“Yonghwa-yah! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you. How’s your father? I’m really glad that you grant our request to fetch YoungAl and Hyunnie.” He told him happily. Yong… I mean Yonghwa-shi… sigh… I’m giving him a LOT of nickname… Anyway, Yonghwa tried to gave my grandfather a hug, which was a bit comical because his hands are a bit preoccupied of not trying to let go of our luggage.
It was really a wonder how I never come to know him and yet my family is really close to him. The only one missing is my Appa, which for some reason I feel like he also has ‘that’ kind of relationship with him. Yonghwa-shi seems to be a likeable person that draws people to him. Maybe, that’s one of the reason I felt that certain attraction to him.
Seeing that my Harabeoji would not let go of him soon and my Halmeoni and Omma is on one of their childish fight, I decided to help the poor boy. Walking towards the choking Yong, I tried to keep my laugh at bay.
“Harabeoji, I think YongHwa-shi might die from lack of air.” I told him innocently that made my grandfather let go of him and gave a hearty, “I’m sorry” and a heavy pat in the back that made the poor young man falter a bit.
Hyun, don’t laugh. Don’t laugh… I told myself but I can’t stop myself and a small giggle escape that made everyone look at me. Blushing in embarassment, I can’t help but ask the ground to swallow me. Especially, when Yonghwa-shi looks at me in wonder. He must think I’m some sort of freak. Oh, please let me disappear this second. I was wallowing in my self-pity when I heard a small snort and saw Yonghwa trying to stop his laugh.
His cheek looks like it was going to burst and I can now see his barely visible dimples. He then gave a deep laugh that made everyone’s attention transfer to him. I look at him as if he grew another head and he gave me a small wink in return.
“I think we already spent a long time outside. Can we go in now? My hands are feeling a bit numb.” He suddenly said that made my Halmeoni bustling with “Where’s my manners?” and “YoungAl-yah, I told you! Young Master is not fit to carry such heavy luggage especially yours.”
Harabeoji just shrug and told them, “Now now, no need to fight.” And lead my Omma and Halmeoni inside the house leaving Yonghwa and I. Alone. Without anyone. Gulp. Alright, breathe Joo Hyun. No need to panic. I mean he is only walking towards you. No harm done.
Breathe Hyunnie! Breathe!
“Soo…” I told him. “Let’s go inside?” Great. Real cool. He gave me a soft look before nodding his head. We walk silently together towards the door and before we went inside, he turned towards me.
“Since I saved you from being embarass, you now owe me a favor.” He told me confidently that I can’t help but look at him disbelievingly, “And that favor is for me to call you what I want.” He gave me a proud smile.
Ehh… Where is the cool and collected guy earlier? Is he suffering from some bipolar disorder? Blowing through my nose to release some unnecessary irritation to this unbelievable guy. I can’t help but think who does he think he is?
“I’ve decided!” he said breaking my reverie. “I’m going to call you, Hyun. It’s really nice to meet you, Joo Hyun.” He then stuck out his tongue and gave a silly smile before running inside our house.
Cham! That guy is getting on my nerves. However… I really like how he says my name. Hyun. Only my parents and grandparents call me that. I guess I’ll give him an exception. And since he gave me a nickname, I’m also going to give him one.
Yong. I’ll call him Yong Oppa. I think it suits him. Smiling, I tried to gather my courage before running towards him,
“Yong Oppa! Wait for me!” I called and I’m glad I did because I saw his eyes lit happily. I think this would be a start of a new friendship.
