Covering my mouth to forbid me from screaming, i dropped the cake on the ground.. i heard people brustling and jostling while walking past us... yet... they knew better then to mess around with Jimmie's crowd.. when i was growing more and more frantic... Sunny had saved me..
"Jimmie! what are you doing! that's my friend. stop."
"Your friend?"
"Well.. not exactly a friend.. more like a dog.. obedient dog.. plus she won't do you any good."
And thanks to Sunny's help i was able to avoid the danger... and afterward, i had tried my best to become a needed and a good friend to Sunny.. if... if i could see these tears that's soaking up my blankets... if only.... pretty soon.. i fell asleep, weeping softly...
in my dream... Taesung oppa... was crying.... he was painfully looking at someone.... while these.. these tears kept on dampening the misty ground...
++
"Nayoon, it's time to wake up. A handsome guy's here to see you.. Nayoon, wake up... don't you want to see who came to see you? Nayoon..."
Someone shook my shoulders, waking me up..
"-___- dad?"
"Look who came to see you."
"-__- what time is it?"
"Six. -__-"
"Morning?"
"Afternoon. -__-"
"How many hours did i sleep for? =_="
"More than 12.. ^O^ But Nayoon, you have a guest."
"Who...?"
"A handsome boyfriend."
Dad whispered softly,
"Boy..friend?"
and before i could question him further, he exited out the door. -__-
"Dad! -0-"
It won't be Jimmie right...?? I was prepared to call out to dad again inside my blankets when,
"Monster! i'm here."
The 'boyfriend' that had come to visit me was... Taesung oppa...
"Oppa? O_O oppa!"
Standing up in my bed, i turned my body toward where i heard the voice.
"-__- if you could see, i would've given you a mirror. -__-"
">_< AHHH >___< I look filthy don't i? >_<"
I quickly went back into my blankets. -__-
"Let's go."
"........?"
"That chick wanted us to go to a party didn't she? let's go."
"Chick...?"
"The girl last night."
"-__- sunny?"
"yeah"
"how'd you know about the party? tch.. you DO watch over me don't you? -__-"
"-__- your voice was pretty loud."
"....."
"Let's gooo.. get up. Your friend wanted to beat me up, yeah? ^-^ Let's go get us some beatings! kek, GET UP!! -0-"
".....don't go... you can't.."
"Tell me the house and i'll go by myself."
"No oppa... they're not normal like you think they are.. they're not someone who you could survive..."
"I really enjoy getting beat up. -0- get up, get up."
Taesung oppa's cold hands grabbed my small hands and forced me up. =__= thanks to that, my head was tilted backwards while i continued my begging.
"No oppaa.. let's stay home and i'll make you cake! let's just play ourselves! TOT"
Then oppa pulled my hands once again and i splattered upon the floor.. -__-
"Haha -0- you sound like my wife -0- wifey >_<"
Oppa's innocent voice rang in my ears but it was slightly different then what i usually heard of... -__- i think oppa didn't take notice of my heart thumping loudly cuz he continued to drag me away from my room.
"You're leaving already? ^O^"
Dad, save us! T_T
"^-^ can i take Nayoon out for a walk?"
"Of course. But make sure to bring her back by 12. ^-^"
"Okay. ^O^"
"Dad T_T dad! dad!! T__T After slamming the door and entering our front lawn, Taesung oppa asked me in a slightly different tone.
"where is it?"
"......."
"Don't lie like last time. is it this way?"
"No.. we go that way.."
"Let's go."
"......"
Taesung oppa's footsteps seemed louder today.. well... hehe even though i only met him twice... -__-
"Is it this place? where is it... just tell me..."
Taesung oppa held onto my hands with his thumb and his index finger while he continued to ask me about Jimmie's house.
"Oppa.. i seem so pathetic you holding my hand like that.. -0-"
"Don't change the subject.. where is it?"
"It's scary... they're scary oppa.."
"If you don't tell me, imma just leave you here.."
".....it's for your own good.."
"I fight well. ^-^"
Taesung oppa was stubborn and his two fingers gripped onto my hands tighter..
"It's a white house... you go straight from here for about 10 minutes and it should be on the left side... it'll be noticable since it's always pretty loud.."
Taesung oppa was silent as he walked a bit faster.
"Oppa.. can i ask you something though?"
"No."
"Are you always so scary to everyone?"
"No."
"Then.. only toward me?"
"No, I...."
"....?"
".... I only smile for one person."
A moment of silence fell upon us and nearing Sunny's house i bravely asked in a small voice..]
"The.. one person........... someone you loved?"
"Someone i loved? no, someone i still and will love forever.. it's this house right?"
Before i could question him further, Taesung oppa opened the large front door and pulled me in.. I wanted to ask him who she was... how old she was... when he met her... yet.. yet these questions didn't dare to escape my mouth for taesung oppa sounded so sad while he answered me..
The blaring music shook the grass below us while the voice of many korean kids rang in my ears, screaming, yelling, and whistling.. along with sunny's loud shouts... All of who didn't have a clue as to what sadness, pain, and unfortunate was..
"Don't be nervous."
Taesung oppa told me..
It was something he said without any particular emotion yet couraged me to hold my head up high.
"Oppa, why'd you come though? Cuz of Sunny? Only because she made you mad?"
"Hey ^O^ i wanna play, too~"
At Taesung oppa's bright voice, everything had suddenly quieted down... I felt Taesung oppa gripping on the open door... I guess they were all partying in the livingroom..
"....what? who's he? is he new?"
A guy's low voice rang in my ears,
"I called him. ^-^ oh? Nayoon's here, too? haha Oppa, you came!"
I felt Sunny trying not to explode in anger.. while the crowd begun to shuffle and murmur amongst themselves.
"Hey sunny? who is that? why's Lee Nayoon with someone like him? you know him? girl, introduce him to us~!"
"woooo~!"
"kek, how'd Lee Nayoon get here anyway?"
If i were to stay here any longer.. i would probably get a lot more angry and... sadder... so i pulled on Taesung oppa's hand... yet for some reason, he pulled me into the livingroom.
"If you invited someone, you should uplift the atmosphere.. if you can't do that, dance.. and if you can't dance, sing.. damn you guys are boring. ^-^"
A rush of silent fell upon us.
"Oppa, i think you have something TOTALLY wrong.. oh... HAHA oppa? what the hell's wrong with me? ^-^ Hey, you a dumb ass? you think i invited you to entertain your.. MIGHTY self? hahahaha hey guys~ gather around.. don't you wanna see some fight?"
Sunny's voice was full of anger.
"sunny... stop.."
"Lee Nayoon, want me to call Ahn Jonghan for you? ^O^"
"sunny.. we're friends.."
"Kek, guys! did you just hear that? she thinks we're.. FRIENDS! HAH!"
Sunny's friends slowly advanced toward us.. their heavy breathing wrapped me in worry... along with their laughter... yet taesung oppa seem unnerved as he kept silent.. what are you gonna do oppa... why.... why...
"hey look at that b!tch.. it looks like he rolled around in chalk! dude, is he even a guy? hm.. he must be gay! guys! wanna see for ourselves?"
One of he guys in the crowd shouted causing the others to laugh and whistle.
"See for yourself Jason. I'll take care of the rest."
Sunny's icy voice replied carelessly.. and jumping in front of Taesung oppa, i yelled,
"Are you insane??? I'll call the police!!"
"AHHH!! >_< you'll call.. the POLICE?? >_< OH my GOSH!! like that's SOOOo scary~!"
One of sunny's friends shouted sarcastically and everyone else burst into laughter once again.
"Leave them alone, i haven't seen people be this immature ever since middle school."
At Taesung oppa's careless tone, the kids flinched a bit.. yet at Sunny's shout, they resumed with their shouts and whistles.
"Hey, since Lee Nayoon can't see.. hmm.. Ohh we should make her deaf, too!!"
"Oh yeah~ good idea!"
"hey >_< girls move back!! >___< haha >_<"
"No!! guys!! noo!!"
Someone pulled me by my hair and dragged me out to the garden.. while Taesung oppa was surrounded by a mob of boys.. A loud shout rang in the air.. All because of me.... all... cuz of me... SLAM! the door suddenly opened..
"What the f*ck are you doing?"
Ahn JongHan's irritated shout stopped every bit of sound.. All of sunny's friends were terrified and did whatever Ahn Jonghan commanded them to do...
"........JongHan, come here for a sec. Some b!tch just rolled in here."
"Who? what the f*ck. why's Lee Nayoon here? Sunny did you invite her?"
"Come here Jonghan~ you weren't feeling that great today right? ^O^ i got you a stress reliver~ ^O^"
Ahn jonghan's voice slowly advanced toward us and... my heart begun to thump louder than ever... the scariest being i ever knew... well... not just me.. but everyone else, too probably... trembling in fear, i was reaching for Taesung oppa's hands when the one sentence Ahn JongHan said buried itself in my mind..
"Taesung hyung...?"
Heaving a sigh, Oppa said in mockery..
"JongHan, you haven't had any beatings recently have you? well, don't you think it's time for some? ^-^"
".........are you really hyung..? what.. what are you doing here?"
"......."
"B!tch! get back!!"
The kids scattered away at Jonghan's loud shout... what.. what's happening..? Taesung oppa and Ahn Jonghan know each other...? then..
"JongHan? what's wrong with you...? you know him???"
Sunny asked carefully..
"I'm sorry!! sorry!! sorry!!"
"Ahn jonghan! what are you saying!! he's filth, don't apologize to such thing!"
Sunny's angry shout... along with mumbles amongst the crowd.
"Inchun, Ahn Jonghan."
"Yes!"
"It's you right? ^-^ The one who hung around at Jangoon? ^-^"
"Yes!"
"and these kids are your friends...."
"Yes!"
"But....."
"........I apologize!"
"Why do you drive me crazy until the last moment, huh?"
Taesung oppa's voice was ice cold, sending a chill down my spine..
"I'm sorry! I didn't know!! My friends didn't know anything! i'm sorry!"
"It has been awhile since you got me mad, yeah? Remember last year?"
"Yes!"
"If you do, then kneel. ^-^"
"........."
"Too cool to kneel down, huh?"
"........."
With a thump, Ahn Jonghan seemed to have kneeled down in front of Taesung oppa.. the racing of my heart had slowed down... what's.... what's happening.....is.. Taesung oppa that..... and as if an order fell upon the crowd, i heard other plops and thumps as Sunny's friends all kneeled down..
"What the hell are you guys doing!"
Sunny's shriek.
'Ahn Jonghan."
"Yes!"
"That's your girlfriend."
"Yes!"
"Have her bow down to her.."
Oppa tapped my shoulders.
"No.. oppa don't... it's okay.."
Ignoring me, Taesung oppa continued.
"You won't? You're becoming slower."
"Sunny, sit."
"Are you sane? huh??"
"I told you to sit!"
"Ahn Jonghan! what are you doing!! who the hell is he to make you act so pathetic??!!??!"
"Listen to me."
".........no.. i don't want to. I won't."
"B!tch listen to me!"
Bursting into tears, Sunny exited out the door after slamming it shut.
"Hyung, i apologize. That b!tch is a bit spoiled.."
"Apologize for her."
"excuse me?"
"Forgot korean already?"
"No!"
"Change your direction and apologize ten times."
If he was to change his direction, he would be kneeling down in front of me... without hesitating for one second, Ahn Jonghan immediately turned around and shouted toward me.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! I'm so-"
Ahn Jonghan stopped to take a deep breath after panting..
"Hyung, why are you here though?"
"Go in."
"excuse me?"
"Bring these b!tches with you.. before i beat you all.."
The kids were dead silent... there must be more than 10 guys here... yet... they were all trembling because of Ahn Jonghan's words... wait.. no i mean... they're probably more afraid of Taesung oppa's existence more than Ahn Jonghan's words...
"Okay! Hey, get upstairs.. the whole lot of you!"
Instantly, they all pounded up the stairs.
"Have fun hyung! And visit by often, i know a lot of fun places where-"
"Go in."
"Okay."
The livingroom quieted down... and Taesung oppa burst into laughter..
"Wasn't that hecka funny? ^-^ we won~ ^O^"
".....oppa."
"They won't hurt you anymore. ^O^ aren't you proud of me? -0-"
"Yeah... i am... i really am..."
"dang, there's a lot of beer... ooh... hey i haven't seen this brand before! O_O dude whiskey!"
"Oppa, what.. are you?"
"I'm raccoon kid's lover. -___- ahhh >__< dang that's bitter. >__<"
I stared at Taesung oppa with my blind eyes with my hair all messed up.. while oppa just gulped down the beer... what do i do oppa... i think i'm falling in love with you.... what do i do....
About an hour later... the kids were still dead silent, all trapped in the tiny room... and Taesung oppa was already drunk... the fifth bottle was slammed upon the table...
"oppa, let's go... his parents might come home.. please, yeah?"
"where, where are we going? -0-"
"Home... you can go sleep now.. ^-^"
"Home? and where is that.."
"You go home to sleep.. and i go to my house to sleep.. and i'll visit you again tomorrow! ^-^"
"My house is far from here.."
"It's 20 minutes from here.. -__-"
"It's far... it's really far... i want to go... but... it's too far..."
"-___- i'll take you home then... you're already drunk!"
The front door opened suddenly
"Jonghan! mom's home! ^O^"
A bright voice of about mid 40's was heard from the front door and dragging Taesung oppa by the arms, i groped around toward the door.
"Oh? Jonghan's friend? stay longer. ^O^ I haven't seen you before. ^O^ where's jonghan?"
"He's in his room.. we'll be going now... good night."
Brushing past the woman, i felt for my shoes.
"You can't see? O_O"
Her voice was half full of curiousity while the other was pity.
"No, good night.. let's go oppa.."
Walking past the garden, a laugh escaped from my lips for no reason... and asked oppa who had been staggering a few steps ahead of me.
"oppa, you must be a great person. ^-^ You even made AHn jonghan kneel down to me. I don't think i'll be able to sleep tonight.."
"i can't breathe."
"What?"
"........"
As if chasing after someone, Oppa was practically running out of the garden.
"oppa! where are you going?! Oppa...!!"
Oppa's footsteps grew further and further away from mine... confused, i begun to chase after him in the best way i can... feeling a bit alarmed that oppa was running the opposite side from our house..
"Oppa! Taesung oppa! where are-"
AHH TOT i think that was a rock.. T__T my knee stung like mad yet paying to attention to it, i brushed my self and ran once again.. and panting heavily, i stopped abruptly at a low mumble..
"Oppa?"
"Dong hae mool gwa baek doo san ee.... mareugo dahl doh lok~ Hananeemee bohoohahsah ooleenara mansae~ (a/n* that was the Korean national Anthem)
It was oppa's voice... a low murmur along with a hint of laughter... i twisted my body toward the sound and reaching my hands out, i felt oppa's shoulders.
"Oppa, you wanted to sing? -0-"
"let's go to korea... korea.... please?"
"Korea? how? ^-^"
".....isn't she pretty?.... so pretty...."
Oppa took something out from his pockets and folded my fingers upon it.. i think it was a picture..
"Who is it?"
"My nuna.. -0- isn't she pretty? see the raccoon kid? -0- that punk. -0-"
"........i can't see.."
"i can't see either."
"Yes you can..."
"No... i can't.. i can't see anything.."
"oppa, are you crying?"
Oppa's voice was slowly decreasing in volume and took the picture from my hands without a word.. several minutes passed... and oppa mumbled once again as if he was going to collapse any second..
"what... what do i do... i think imma go crazy... no.. hah being insane is better than this... i wanna see her.... man what am i doing here... why.. why am i here... chung taesung you asshole... why are you... why are you so far away from her.."
I think.. the reason why i smelled the wind's scent on oppa... was because.. even though he was so close... and i could hear.. touch... and feel him... i couldn't hold him back....
Unintentionally, my hands lightly placed itself on Taesung oppa's shoulders.. For a moment, Oppa was in my embrace then pushed me away lifelessly while walking away in the direction to where our house was.
Tears were streaming down my face without me realizing it... and slowly and silently... i followed oppa back home...
Two days later... 11 o'clock.
Humming along a song that was coming out of the tv, i sat on my sofa bobbing my head up and down when i heard a knock on the front door.
"Who is it?"
Feeling my way to the door, i opened it slightly.
"Nayoon. Hello. ^O^"
Taesung oppa's grandma. -0- the grandma that lived next door.
"Hello~ ^O^ What brings you here? ^O^"
"You see... i have a small favor to ask of you.."
"Fire away~ ^-^"
"I heard you and Taesung have gotten pretty close. ^-^"
"oh.. um... yeah i guess.. ^-^"
"....Taesung isn't feeling too well..."
"Oppa...?"
"he won't eat or talk... i should be taking care of him today but i have an appointement at the hospital about his health.."
"Is... is he really sick?"
"Nothing serious... can you take care of him while i'm at the hospital?"
"of course! don't worry about a thing! ^-^"
"Sorry about that.."
"No problem. ^^ take your time."
"Yeah... thank you dear."
After informing me of the foods i should give Taesung oppa, grandma disappeared. Anxious to see Taesung oppa again, i forgot to lock the front door and hurriedly walked over to his house... opening the familiar door,
"Oppa...?"
Silence.. -__- again at the stairs,
"Oppa?"
A high tone of voice rang in my ears.
"Yeah nuna... NO! Don't switch the phone! >_< don't switch......... -___-^ What..?! -0- Ahhhh my poor ear's getting contaminated! -0- Lemme talk to Hankyung nuna... what? I'm not sick.. -__- lemme talk to nuna!! if you lay a finger on her, i swear you're dad! -0- Yeah imma go to korea! huh? nuna? -0- nooo.. Haewon keeps on annoying me!! Are you guys the only one in the room? -___- get out get out!! You dunno what he's capable of! -0-"
Oppa's voice sounded so.. jubilent and full of life..
"Nuna, i'm not sick so don't worry... yeah! I eat like a pig here! yep yep, i got muscles, too! they're bulging out!! -0- yep -0- i'll show you when i go to korea! yep, yep.. okay~ you, too nuna.. yeahh... i'll call you later.. oka.. bye.."
"Are you done? ^-^"
"who... Lee nayoon? when'd you come?"
Two faced character. -__- Chung. Tae. Sung. -__-
"How could your voice just do a 180 over one second? -__-"
"Grandma called you huh? I can do it myself so leave."
"Grandma said you'll probably not eat anything so it's my responsiblity to get you to eat it.."
"I will okay? so go already."
"She said it was in the kitchen.. i'll be right back! ^O^"
Before oppa could protest anymore, i quickly turned around to descend down the stairs when,
"What are you talking about?! You can't even see! you'll just drop the thing!"
"I can carry stuff... don't worry.."
"......."
Walking down the stairs, I took the soup from the kitchen table and clearing my mind off of pity, I neared oppa's room again.
"Eat up. ^O^ wow, it smells delicious doesn't it? ^O^"
"yeah.... thanks.."
"A change of heart suddenly? ^-^"
"Sorry.."
"for what? ^^ don't worry about it!"
"It wasn't meant for you to be sad.. it's just that you keep on treating a b!tch like me so nice.."
"Want me to feed it to you? ^-^ Eat up already~ -0-"
"........okay."
Silently, oppa picked up his spoon to surp the soup.
"sshi...."
"you're doing a good job. -__-"
"i have to work though.."
"huh? -0- what for? -__-"
"Is there any place that pays you a lot? hey, let's go look for one~"
"work...??? -___- you're sick oppa.. just lay back down.."
"i'm up! look at this!"
Oppa suddenly poured the whole soup into his mouth..
"Oh my.... gosh.. isn't it hot? T_T"
"It is. TOT Let's go now!"
"why do you need to work though! TOT"
"I need money... hmm.. i'll go on the table and start dancing and the old ladies pay me money! -___- i get paid a lot..."
"-___- isn't that a host bar...? -___-"
"Yep~ -0- Plus the american old ladies will be fascinated by me so they'll pay me more~!"
"You're.. JOKING right? -__-"
"I need money... i don't care if it's hard work... but if you know a good place.. then can you tell me one?"
"Why.. do you need money.."
"After i earn money..."
"........."
"Imma go visit Korea.."
"Korea..?"
"Let's go! >_< after i get my airline ticket with the money i earned, i'll buy you a sheep. -0-"
"You're gonna go to korea?"
"Yep.."
"does your grandma know?"
"shh.. it's a secret! ^-^ Now, let's go already~!"
".........."
"Huh? O_O"
"Nothing.. i know a place.. they know me pretty well so.. you could probably start working there.."
Oppa now wore a bright smile on his face. -__- I wonder if it's because of his nuna.... Knowing that I'd never be the one to make him smile like he does right now... i fell into a slight trance of sadness..
One sheep two sheep~!! One cheated on the otherrr... So the goat decided to commit suicide~ -0- sheeps are dumb~ sheeps are greedy~ goat~ goat~! -0- fall into the ocean~!
Sighing at the unfamiliar song coming out of oppa's mouth, i headed toward the bakery i was familiar with.. =_= whew..
Dad and i come here all the time.. I have a feeling the boss'll hire us more easily cuz dad knows him well... plus it's in koreatown so oppa won't have such a difficult time handling his customers.. Oppa continued to mumble excitedly until his breath. -__-
"Am I serving wine? Or am i dancing on the table? O_O You know, i dance well.. O_O should i dance?"
"-___- it's a bakery.. your job will the the cashier.. and i doubt that you'll have to dance. ^O^"
"-__- cashier? you want me to take people's orders?"
"O_O what's wrong with that? ^O^ All you have to do is stand still. ^O^"
"Aish.. it'll take me ages to buy a airline ticket!"
"Two months should do it.. ^O^ Oppa, you're coming back from KOrea though, right?"
Oppa was silent..
".....yeah.. i have to."
"Why? Cuz of me? ^O^"
"I see a fly on your face. -0-"
"Whaat? TOT"
"This is the place right? Here we go!"
Oppa quickly changed the subject and at that moment, someone came out the door with the bells ringing.
"Oh! Nayoon!"
I heard the bakery owner's frantic voice..
"Mister! I have a favor to ask you! ^O^"
"Oh see.. before your request, I got an urgent call from our house! Can you watch the store for me?"
"How about this oppa does it for me..? He's looking for a job."
"Oh? This student right here?"
"Yes!"
"Sure! Could you?"
"^O^ really? That'd be awesome!"
"Please get to work right away! I'll discuss your payment after i get back.. You can do a good job right?"
I nudged at Oppa's sides for I didn't hear an answer..
"Ahhh -0- Why'd you poke me? -0- I nodded my head you know! -0-"
-__- how was i suppose to know.. T_T i can't see...
"Thanks a bunch! Nayoon and the student! Make sure to use your timecard! It's pretty easy so don't worry! ^O^ I'll be right back!"
The owner's footsteps hurriedly disappeared and I followed Oppa into the bakery...
"Dude, there's so many cigarette brands i haven't seen before! Awesome, my friends'll love this!"
"Oppa! -0- NOO!! He'll know if you take it with you! What if you get fired?"
"I'll just dance on the tables then. -0-"
"-___- You're serious?"
"Yep. ^O^"
"^-^ You've gotten much brighter since the first time i met you.. did you know that?"
"Yeah.."
The bells on the door rang loudly...
"Welcome! -0- How may i help you? -0-"
Stiffling a grin, I whispered to oppa,
"Oppa.. you're just a cashier.. -__-"
"-__- okay okay.."
After the customer exited out the door, stiffling a set of giggles, Taesung oppa opened his mouth.
"That lady's breath got taken away.. -0-"
"-__- why?"
"Cuz she saw me~ ^O^"
"Oh~......... You like that? -___-"
"Yeah I do. O_O"
"Kek"
"Don't laugh. -0-"
I felt overjoyed that oppa was joking around with me.. T_T
"You know what? I've always wondered how you look-"
The store bell rung again and in came a set of heavy footsteps..
"How gross is that? David's eloping with his sister!"
"I know huh... argh.. hey want a croissant?"
