Chapter 10 (part 2)> Blushing and Stuttering...

Girl: Lee EunShi!!

EunShi startled. her conversation with Taemin is disturbed. a few customers looks at them. mad, and half embarrassed too, EunShi turns her head towards the voice. seeing the girl in front of her make her eyes widen.

EunShi: (stands) Youngyoon??
Girl: Ah!! (smiles happily) u still remember me!! (approaches and hugs her) how are u??
EunShi: (hugs back) Of course i do! (smiles) i'm fine... how about u??
Girl: I'm good too!! ah, i can't believe i met u here! first Ahn, and now, u! (excited)
EunShi: (smiles) When did u get back here?
Girl: About 2 months ago... i started working here a few weeks ago. i'm so happy when i met Ahn! but, i never seen u here before!!
EunShi: Ah...

Ahn come with their order but still wearing her scared face...

EunShi: It's because i just found out about this place...
Ahn: (looks down) Here's ur order...
Taemin: Thanks, noona...
Girl: Ah! Taeminnie! i didn't realize u're here!
Taemin: (smiles and bows his head a little)
EunShi: Uh... aren't u still working? ur manager...
Girl: Gwenchana! i've finished my shift!
EunShi: Really? why don't u join us then??
Girl: Oh? can i??
EunShi: (looks at Taemin and Jonghyun) Is that okay with u two?
Taemin: (nods) Nope... i don't mind at all...
EunShi: Great! oppa?
Jonghyun: . . . (silent but still looking at the girl)
EunShi: Uh... oppa... oppa!
Jonghyun: Uh? ne? ne?
EunShi: I said, can she join us?
Jonghyun: Huh? her??
EunShi: Yes.. wae?
Jonghyun: Oh, no-, nothing...
EunShi: (puzzles but ignores it) Come! sit with us!
Girl: Ok! but i'll get change first ok?
EunShi: (nods) Um!

The girl walks away towards the back of the cafe and disappears into a room...

EunShi: (smiles happily and drinks)
Jonghyun: (takes a sip and stares at EunShi) Um...
EunShi: Huh? what's the matter?
Jonghyun: Um... who is she?
EunShi: Oh, she's a friend of mine.. we're in the same class during middle school. but she transfer in the middle of third year...
Jonghyun: Oh... i see...
EunShi: (smirks) Wae? interested?
Jonghyun: (looks away) I don't!

Jonghyun pulls his face away from EunShi's sight. he might get caught if she keep staring at him like that. he knows that she's really good at reading people's expression. it's pretty scary sometime, but, he never get caught before, so, he's not really worried though. but still, it's better to hide it before she notices it, right?

EunShi: Yeah... of course... (turns to Taemin) do u know her?
Taemin: Um! (nods) i've come here a few times, so yeah...
EunShi: I see... is she nice to u?
Taemin: Yeah! she does... but... um... u... u...
EunShi: Hmm?
Taemin: (blushes) U're nicer... (grips his cup)
EunShi: Ne?
Taemin: I mean, noona, noona is nicer than her... ouch! hot!! (blows his hand)
EunShi: Aigoo! Taemin-ah! (pulls his hands and blows it) did u burn it??
Taemin: Ah! (blush harder) Ani, ani... the heat just shocked me...
EunShi: This kid... (shakes her head) don't make noona worried like that! (rubs his hand)
Taemin: Uh... ne... (blush but actually enjoying it)
Jonghyun: (chuckles) U really look like a sister now, EunShi... (smirks)
EunShi: Mwo? i am a sister ok?? (still rubbing Taemin's hand)
Jonghyun: Really? heh, i never think u're...
EunShi: Uh! i am ok??
Jonghyun: (laughs) Oh, talk about that... how's Yoonji?
EunShi: Huh? um... she haven't called me for about two weeks now...
Jonghyun: Oh... she's busy i guess...
EunShi: Probably... (looks at Taemin) are u ok now?
Taemin: Ah... ne, ne...
EunShi: (bitter smile) I think i need to go the ladies... (stands and leave)
Taemin: (looks at her) Noona... [low voice]
Jonghyun: U like her don't u?
Taemin: Huh? (blushes) i, i...
Jonghyun: I know u do... (smirks) how old are u, Taemin? (stares at his uniform)
Taemin: I'm, i'm in my second year of middle school... (looks away)
Jonghyun: (chokes) Mworago?? seriously??
Taemin: Uh, wae. wae??
Jonghyun: Ah, ani... ani... (laughs)
Taemin: What??

Suddenly...

Girl: Oh, where's EunShi?
Taemin: Eh? noona! um, Eun noona went to the toilet... have a sit, noona...
Girl: Ah, really? (sits) how are u today, Taemin?
Taemin: I'm fine... u, noona?
Girl: I'm good too! (smiles) um, (looks at Jonghyun)

Their eyes met, and, the whole world stops for both of them. Jonghyun doesn't move an inch and so do the girl. both of them stare at each other for quite a while until Taemin let out a cough and looks away while smirking...

*Toilet...

EunShi stares at herself in the mirror. she suddenly feels sad. treating Taemin like that makes her misses her little sister, Yoonji. she wonders why she hasn't been calling her. usually, she'll call her once in three days. but, it's been nearly two weeks since she last called her. she sighs. there's a lot of things going around her right now. she worries about Onew, about Ahn, and about her Yoonji. and also, about Kibum... suddenly...

Ahn: (taps her shoulder) Gwenchanayo??
EunShi: (shocked) Ah! neol...
Ahn: (worried face) What's the matter?
EunShi: (shakes her head and washes her hand) Nothing..
Ahn: Eun-ah... about this... (scared)
EunShi: (looks away) No wonder u've been avoiding me for a while now...
Ahn: Um... mian, mianhaeyo...
EunShi: I guess u shouldn't told your best friend when u have a problem eh? (hold her tears)
Ahn: Ani! it's not like that! mianhaeyo, EunShi-ah...
EunShi: Wae? u don't have to apologize. u didn't do anything wrong...
Ahn: Eun-ah... (starts crying) mian... mian...
EunShi: (looks up and wipes her tears) Shut it... i don't want to lend my shoulder to u...
Ahn: (hits her) Neol!!
EunShi: Mwo?? (pulls her and hugs her tightly) u know that i'm here for u right??
Ahn: (cries) Ara yo...
EunShi: Then why haven't u told me anything??
Ahn: Mi-, mian...
EunShi: (hits her head) Babo!
Ahn: Ya!!
EunShi: (pulls out a tissue and wipes her tears) Stop crying! u'll look uglier!
Ahn: Lee EunShi! (hits)
EunShi: (mehrong) Wekk... when do u finish?
Ahn: (look at her watch) Finish already...
EunShi: Then lets go talk somewhere, shall we?
Ahn: (nods) Um...
EunShi: And pay my bill!
Ahn: Ne?? wae should i??
EunShi: Payback! (walks away)
Ahn: Yah!! (pulls her jacket)
EunShi: Eh! why're u pulling me??
Ahn: Where are u going??
EunShi: To my table! what? want me to help u change??
Ahn: Uh! >.<" no! go away, u byeontae!
EunShi: This little... bbali!! (walks out)
Ahn: Um...

*At the table...

Girl: Why're u giggling?? (blushes)
Taemin: Nothing! oh, (sees EunShi) Noona!
EunShi: (sits and smiles) What happened?
Taemin: Noona! u know, your sunbae and Youngyoon noona just-
Girl: (covers his mouth) Nothing happen!!
EunShi: Uh? (looks at Jonghyun) What happened, oppa? why're u blushing?
Jonghyun: No, nothing...
Taemin: (manages to let go) Bwah! he's lying!!
Jonghyun: (shows a shut up sign)
EunShi: (rubs her head) Uh... i don't know what happen, and i don't think i wanna know... (drinks) anyway! have u guys introduced yourself?
Girl: (shakes head)
EunShi: I should have do it earlier! ah, anyway, oppa, this is my friend, Youngyoon, Im Youngyoon... Youngyoon, this is my sunbae, Kim Jonghyun sunbae-nim.
Youngyoon: (nods and blush) Nice to meet u...
Jonghyun: Oh, (blushes too) ni-nice to me-meet u too... (looks away)

EunShi looks puzzled. she never seen Jonghyun stutters like that. and she never seen Youngyoon blushes like that. a fishy feeling starts to surrounds her. and the giggling Taemin besides her strengthen her feelings...

So, what actually happen? wait for the next chapter! :)
