Chapter 2
*
Straight after Hae send me back home, I crawl onto my bed lazily. As I am about to take a good nap before supper, my phone beeps. I pick it up.
I don’t even know what I am excited for, but yeayy! It’s a message from Hae!
[I am back at home! :) And guess wat, I didn’t get scolded!]
[Good… Take some rest then.] Even when I am not talking to him on the phone, I still feel kind of blushed just texting him.
[You too, you must be so tired.]
I really want to reply something, but I just don’t know what to say. What should I reply back so we can keep chatting? Without knowing, I doze off to sleep the next minute.

[Morning, Hyukkie]
I am half-asleep in my boring Thursday 9am lecture when I receive Hae’s refreshing text. [Hae, how are you today?]
[Hah :D I am just up. Have you prepared anything for me?]
[What are you trying to say?] I have completely forgotten our promise, so I am totally confused by what he is saying.
[I will start first then, umm,, I love dancing! :) It’s your turn now, tell me about yourself!]
[Really? I love dancing so so much too!]
[As if I hadn’t known!]
[How have you known?]
[Excuse me, the last time when I came to your house for dinner, your parents actually told me you were doing dancing in uni!]
[Hehehe :) Did they?]
[Maybe not, I am just a prophet who can tell everything about you!] I nearly laugh out at class.
Minnie, who is actually sitting just next to me, stares at me sarcastically as if I am a freak. I put my tongue out and laugh lightly. “You look scary when you are smiling like an idiot!” Minnie whispers.
I am so shocked and embarrassed, “since when I smiled like an idiot?!” I try to hold my smile back, but I just can’t help it!
Minnie says while glaring at the far right. “Now! Your deadly gummy smile is coming out again!”
I look at the direction he is looking at, and I finally understand what Minnie is trying to say. One guy sitting by the exit door on the right seems to be looking at me like I poisoned him.
“Am I that frightening?”
“No, from my point of view, he actually finds you adorable!”
When I am still chatting silently with Minnie, my phone vibrates again. [You are not gonna talk to me now! *sobs*]
[Sorry, I was just ch-]
“Hyukjae, I am trying to teach your classmates here! You could either pay attention here or leave quietly with your phone!” Our tutor suddenly shouts at me, frightening the heck out of me.
I apologise with a nod on my head. [Sorry, I mean my lecturer is not very pleased with you on the phone, so I have to pay attention at class now.]
[Okay, I will talk to you later. When’s your class finished?]
[By 11am. Talk later.]

Donghae seems to be really free. It’s been almost a week, and he keeps texting me like non-stop everyday!
I feel I am slowly getting used to his messages.
Sometimes, I just feel like looking at the phone right after I send a message and wait for his reply. And sometimes, I even feel the phone vibrates when it doesn’t.
[Strawberry baby! What are you up to now?]
Yes, I told him that I loved strawberry milk a few days ago, and guess what, I become the “Strawberry baby”! Yuck! I hate this name!
[I am not strawberry baby!! :(]
Minnie chuckles while we are putting on our dancing tracksuits, “What are you blushed for again?”
“Nothing! I ain’t blushed!”
“Just admit it! You so are! You so so are!!” He is ready, and quickly, he walks out to the practice room.
I check my phone habitually.
Yeayy! Hae has replied! [So what are you doing now?]
[We have practical workshop today.]
He literally answers back within the next second. [Wow, cool! Which type of dance today?]
[Jazz Hip-hop :D I am totally looking forward to this!]
“Hey everyone, please gather round.” It’s the dancing teacher.
I wish I can read another text from Hae before I go, but this teacher is apparently very strict, so I rush out to the practice room immediately, leaving my phone on the bench.

After the 4-hour dancing class, I am completely exhausted. My body can actually collapse if there’s a bed in front of me.
“It was fun, right?” Minnie is still half panting when he says.
I smile, “Yes, totally amazing! I can’t believe the teacher can dance so w-”
I stop in shock just as I pick up my phone.
Minnie questions, “Are you alright?”
“… umm, I think my message box just got bombed…” Seriously, there are more than 100 texts from the same person. I guess everyone knows who I am talking about here.
I am sure that no one will be able to read them all. Anyway, I quickly look through some of them.
[Did your phone get flushed away when you were going to the toilet?]
[Just text me back please. I am worried now!]
[Okay, I don’t care anymore.]
[Aishh! Seriously, are you alright? Anyway, I am coming over to pick you up from school now. Just wait!] This is the latest text I get, but it shows the time my phone received it was like an hour ago.
Sh*t! Don’t tell me he is really here. Where the heck is Lee Donghae now?
I quickly change my clothes. Without even bothering to touch my hair up, I leave Minnie and rush out from the changing room.
“Are you looking for me?” Just as I run to the corner of the stairs, I heard his ‘annoying’ voice!
I turn round, and there he is. “Why did you even come here?! Don’t you have anything to do? Don’t you class to go to?” I walk to him breathlessly and hit him hard between each of my questions.
I look at him angrily, but instead, he just laughs happily. Stupid fishy!
Hae gently combs my messy hair with his fingers and pulls me into him, “I am glad you are okay. You actually had me worried.”
“…”
“Please tell me next time when you have to leave your phone.”
“… I… I am sorry.” Why do I feel so guilty!
*
As the two of us are walking back home quietly, Hae’s smile gradually widens, “Don’t feel bad anymore. I have had a brilliant day today!”
How does he know I am still feeling guilty? I pout, “Something good happened?”
“Yes, good stuff happened!”
“What is that?” I am curious now, wanting to know what can make Donghae so delightful.
Hae laughs, “It’s you!”
“Me?!”
“I get to see you dancing in those beautiful moves,” I feel my face is boiling, possibly because the sun is setting right on my face. “… and I can justifiably walk you back home today!”
“You mean piggyback me home?” I look at our position embarrassedly.
Basically, my legs sore so badly after dancing that Donghae insists piggybacking me. No matter how hard I try to refuse, I end up hanging on his back.
It is embarrassing.
But if I disregard the fact that he is Lee Donghae, a.k.a. my noona’s boyfriend, I will say he is totally how I want my boyfriend to be.
Hot yet caring, with a broad shoulder and back which can support my entire weight.
Geez! What am I thinking now?! We are good friends!!
“I thought you were sleeping.” Hae look at me, his handsome face is just few centimetres away from mine which is actually resting on his shoulder.
I quickly look away to avoid him from noticing the immediate blush on my face, “uh, why?”
“You didn’t answer me just now.”
Maybe I am too focused in my little world, I didn’t hear a word from him. “What did you say?”
“Nothing.”
“Tell me. Hae, what did you say?”
Hahaha! :D He blushes, “I asked, did you like being piggybacked!”
“I -”
But before I can answer, “Please don’t say anything!” Why does he sound so nervous?
Suddenly, one thing comes across my mind suddenly. I ask, “Why do you always seem so free? Don’t you have university to go to?”
“You really still have a lot to know about me then” He chuckles, “For your information, I graduated when I was 20, just 2 years earlier than you and the others.”
“Seriously? Are you one of those geniuses with IQ 160?”
“I am just as ordinary as you are!”
“So don’t you have to work?”
“I am working in my babba’s fashion design firm, the same one your sis worked in, so my working hours are pretty flexible.” From Hae’s tone, he sounds like he is sort of annoyed by my questions. He sighs and continues, “You really didn’t take your brain with you when we were dining at yours last time, did you?”
Omo!
So he has talked about this before, when I was busy all nervous, blushed, and drooling about him throughout the whole dinner.
I should have known that anyway. That’s how he and Sora noona met, right? Somehow I wish I could be the one who worked at Donghae’s company and met him before noona.
I don’t know why, but a feeling of sourness leaks into my heart from every tiny hole.
“Sorry, I wasn’t listening carefully that night.” I sounded like a little child who has stolen a piece of strawberry without letting mamma knows.
And the next second when I look back at him, I see him staring at me blankly.
Have I got something on my face? I look back at him with questions all over my face. He quickly turns to the front and murmurs, “Your eyes are twinkling like stars in the sky.”
What does he mean by that? Do people use ‘twinkling’ to describe eyes?
*tbc*
Yeayy! I have been a good girl. I update my story on time!! :D
I wish I could tell you how the two will end up, but of coz it will be pointless if I reveal everything to you guys.
Should I say this? ... I don't know if you guys notice this.. but I personally feel that Hyukjae is not the only secret admirer here, there seems to be something else to tell if we look at the story from Donghae's point of view!
I am not spilling anything out!!!
