Chapter 10 (part 3)> Kibummie!!

*The next day, SM High, Class 1-1...

Jaejin: Ok!! let's start our drama rehearsal! everyone to the hall!!
Class: Ne!!

Everyone rushes out of the class and heads to the hall. because of Miss Son, they managed to get the permission to practice there...

Jaejin: Kibum, Minho, EunShi! don't slack ok?? u guys are the backbone of our class!! don't be so late!! (runs away)
Kibum: Uh... (slams his face on the desk)
EunShi: (stands whispers) Minho, Minho-ah...
Minho: (turns) Ne? waeyo??
Kibum: (slightly turns his head and listen)
EunShi: I need to go to the council's room... can u cover up for me?
Minho: Ah? jinjja? ok then...
EunShi: Gomawo... (smiles)
Minho: (smiles back) No problem... be careful...
EunShi: (nods and walks away)

Kibum follows EunShi's footsteps with his eyes. just as she touched the door, someone slides it open and shouts loudly...

Hyunki: Kibummie!!!
EunShi: Uh... (leans back)
Hyunki: Ah!! mianhae!!! mianhae!! (bows rapidly)
EunShi: Uh... gwenchana...
Kibum: (stands)

Minho looks at the door to see the person who shouts just then. Kibum rubs his head when he sees Hyunki bowing at EunShi who's still a little shocked from her shout just before.

EunShi: (shakes head)Ani, ani... gwenchana...
Hyunki: Uh... mian... jeongmal..
EunShi: Gwenchana... (bitter smiles)
Hyunki: (raise her head) Still, i'm sorry... uh??
EunShi: (stares) Eh? waeyo?
Hyunki: Neon... neon...
EunShi: Ye?
Hyunki: (sees Kibum and smiles) No wonder u're not out of your class yet!! yah Kibum! wae didn't u tell me she's in the same class as u?? (smirks)
Kibum: (looks away) Damn it...

Minho doesn't seems to understand what's going on. neither does EunShi. she was shouted at before, now the girl is giggling in front of her. but, she feels kinda irritated to, hearing the way the girl talks to Kibum casually. suddenly, the girl takes out something from her pocket and shows it to EunShi...

Hyunki: This is u right??
EunShi: Huh? (stares at the photo) Uh???
Hyunki: I'm right!! (laughs) luckily i managed to steal one from Kibum! anyway, u must be wondering who am i and why i have your photo right?
EunShi: Uh... ne...
Kibum: Noona!!
Hyunki: (mehrong) Well...
EunShi: Noona?
Hyunki: (smiles happily) Yup! I'm his noona! Kim Hyunki from class 3-3! u must be Lee EunShi right?? oh, i almost don't recognize u since your hair is, um, rather short now... than before... (looks at the photo) your is really long back then! (smiles)
EunShi: Uh... u know me? how come?
Kibum: (approaches) Yah! stop meddling into people's business!
Hyunki: (mehrong) Shut up! (holds EunShi's hand) oh... i've been wanting to see u ever since Kibum mention that u guys are dating!!
Kibum: Noona!!

Minho turns his head when he hears the word 'dating'. his ears feel like its burning and his veins start to expand too...

EunShi: Uh... we...

Suddenly...

Jonghyun: EunShi~ uh, sunbae! (bows)
Hyunki: Oh? Kim Jonghyun!! (excited and blushes)
EunShi: Oppa? waeyo?
Hyunki: Oppa???
Jonghyun: Uh... Onew hyung said that u don't have to come to the council today because he's leaving early today...
EunShi: Eh?? why didn't he just called me?
Jonghyun: (raise his shoulder) U got a point there...
EunShi: (shakes head) U can just text me though oppa...
Jonghyun: (slaps his forehead) Duh! why didn't i think about it??
EunShi: U stick to the school rules so much...
Jonghyun: Aniyo... oh! (realizes something is in his hand) he asked me to hand this to Kim Kibum! that's why i come here!
Kibum: Huh? me?
Jonghyun: Yup! (gives)
Kibum: (takes the envelope) Kamsahamnida...
Hyunki: (peeks)
Jonghyun: Anyway, i shall go now.. see u later sunbae.. u guys too... (rubs EunShi's head)
EunShi: Uh... (jerks away) u're going there again huh?
Jonghyun: (smirks) U know your oppa EunShi... Minho, see u later!
Minho: (nods) See u later hyung...
Jonghyun: Bye! (walks away)

Hyunki pouts a little. Jonghyun looked so fond of EunShi, and she looks fine with it too. even Kibum looks okay about it. slowly, she approaches him and peeks at the letter...

Hyunki: What's this?
Kibum: (pulls away) None of your business! just go home noona!!
Hyunki: Yah! i'm your noona ok??
Kibum: (mehrong) Um, sorry about her, EunShi...
EunShi: Uh... gwenchana... (walks to her seat) i think we should head to the hall then...
Minho: (nods) I guess so... let's go... (picks up his bag)
Kibum: Uh! i'm going too!! (rushes to get his bag)
Hyunki: (puzzled) Wait a minute!!

All three of them had their eyes on her...

Kibum: What now?
Hyunki: (to EunShi) U know Kim Jonghyun?
EunShi: Uh, yes... wae?
Hyunki: Since when?
EunShi: Since i'm four years old... waeyo?
Hyunki: (relieved) Really? i see then... but! (to Minho) who're u??

Hyunki: Uh! but, but-
Kibum: (covers her mouth) U two can go first!
Minho&EunShi: Uh...
Kibum: Now!!
Minho&EunShi: Ne!

Both of them dash out of the classroom, leaving Kibum with his sister, Hyunki...

Hyunki: (lets go) Yah!! i haven't finish talking to them yet!!
Kibum: Uh! wae do u want to do so??
Hyunki: Of course i do!! i never talked to EunShi before!! plus, why is that tall guy need to walk with her?? why didn't u two just go together?? u guys are dating right??

Kibum: Uh! (closes his eyes) SHUT UP! (takes his bag and runs away)
Hyunki: Yah! Kim Kibum!! that kid!! (stomps her feet)

*ShioN's Mall...

Onew peeks from the back of the pillar like always. not so many customers are there today, so he get to see Ahn clearly whose sitting at the counter. she looks quite happy today too. usually, she'll look rather gloomy and moody. but, after seeing EunShi yesterday, she can even smile now. Onew is quite relieved. he's been worrying about her since their fight, but he still can't bring himself to confront her. he was taken back when EunShi scolded him the other day, but he keeps his poker face on. the truth is, he misses Ahn, so much. he sighs. how he wish he's in there with her, chatting, making fun of each other, hold her hands... he knows, it was his fault that they are in this situation. he got carried away by the thought of his ex-girlfriend. he puts his head on the pillar for a while before turning his head towards Jonghyun. it's time to go he thought. but, Jonghyun is not leaning against the pillar as he used to. he's actually peeking too. curious, Onew peeks above him [well, Jonghyun is not really tall after all :P] to see what he's looking at.

'How strange,' Onew thought. he's looking at the window of the cafe, where a girl is cleaning it. he remembers that girl from yesterday, the one EunShi is talking to before she leaves with Ahn and Taemin. it took longer than he expected. Jonghyun didn't even move an inch from where he's looking, neither he realizes Onew is standing right behind him. tired, he taps his shoulder...

Onew: How long are u going to stare at her huh?
Jonghyun: (turns) Uh! hyung! (blush)
Onew: (chuckles) I thought i was the only one...
Jonghyun: Uh... (looks away) are u done? shall we go?
Onew: Eh? u don't want to stay a little while?
Jonghyun: Ani! (holds his bag) Kaja! (walks)
Onew: Uh, yah! (follows) this guy!!

*In the cafe...

Youngyoon: Eh??
Ahn: (approaches) Yah! what's with the 'eh'?
Youngyoon: Uh! neol... ani... i thought i saw two guys running from the pillar over there... (points)
Ahn: Huh? (looks) eodi?? i don't see anyone...
Youngyoon: They just left...
Ahn: They're probably passerby... why're u so concern?
Youngyoon: Ani... i saw two heads poking from that pillar...
Ahn: Ne?? aigoo, Youngyoon-ah! what's in your head huh? (knocks)
Youngyoon: Yah! i swear!!
Ahn: Ne...ne... bbali and finish your work! our shift is almost over! (walks away)
Youngyoon: Uh... but it's true... i'm not lying... aish!

Youngyoon raise her shoulders then continues her work. but still, she's positive that she saw two guys behind that pillar. she was really sure....

*One week later, Lee's House...

EunShi slams herself on the couch. she just got back from the final rehearsal for the play. she's tired. been all day in school really tires her. slowly, she drags her feet to the kitchen and grab a glass of water. suddenly, something falls out of her pocket. she picks it up. it's actually a special ticket or a VIP pass for the school festival. been in the Student's Council, and the fact that her grandfather is the director of the school, she got the tickets for free. she was thinking about giving it to Ahn. the pass allows any visitor to enter any attraction at the festival without paying any fees. that's why it is called as 'VIP Pass'. however, Ahn has stopped coming to her house and refuse to pick up her phone [bcoz of her part time job]. determined, and as her last resort, EunShi pulls out her phone and search for a number. when she finds it, she quickly hit the 'call' button. 

Few beeps pass but no one is picking up. hating it, she quickly rushes outdoor and heads to the nearest groceries shop. without thinking, she takes as many Popsicles as she can, and then rushes to the milk section. taking any milk that cross her mind, then heads towards the counter. after paying it, she rushes to Ahn's house. only to find a locked door. she sighs and leans against the wall. she tries to call her, and her house too, but it only leads her to disappointment. suddenly...

Taemin: (jumps of his bike) Noona! 

EunShi: (startled) Oh, Taemin-ah! (smiles)

Taemin: (smiles brightly) Noona! what're u doing here?

EunShi: I came to see Ahn... but i guess she's not home...

Taemin: Eh? really?? but she didn't say she's going out...

EunShi: Really? (look at her watch) i thought she's home because she's off today right?
Taemin: (nods) Yeah! hmm... i wonder where she went...
EunShi: (bitter smile) Ah, gwenchana... here... (hands the plastic bag to him)
Taemin: (takes) Oh, what is this noona?
EunShi: I'm thinking about eating it with her, but, she's not here, so i guess it's yours then... (smiles)
Taemin: Uh? (looks) omo! so many!! (happy) are sure i can have this noona??
EunShi: (nods) Of course... but don't eat it all at one time ok? u'll get a stomach ache...
Taemin: Um!! (cheerfully)
EunShi: (sighs) Well then, i'll get going...
Taemin: Eh?? already??
EunShi: Yeah... Ahn is not home, plus u look tired, why don't u just rest? (smile)
Taemin: Ah... ne... (disappointed)
EunShi: Geureom, najunge bogo... (walks)
Taemin: (stutters) No-, noona!
EunShi: (turns) Waeyo?
Taemin: Can, can u cook for me??
EunShi: Ne??
Taemin: (put his hand on his tummy) Nan neomu baegopa... can u cook for me? (sad face)
EunShi: Ah... (pity him) jeongmalyo?? then, ok...
Taemin: Jinjja??
EunShi: (nods) Um!
Taemin: (happy) Gomawo, noona!!
EunShi: Kids...

EunShi follows Taemin into the house and cook for him. she's not a good cook, but since she used to see and help Onew cooks, she did know a few simple but tasty dish. Taemin keeps looking at her as she cook, but since she think of him as her dongsaeng, she doesn't really bother. Taemin eats it like he hasn't eaten for days. looking at him, she starts to think about Yoonji, whose so far from her right now. even though they talked a lot, but it's really have been two years since she last saw her. and she really misses her right now...

Taemin: (looks at EunShi) Noona?
EunShi: Uh? ye? what's the matter?
Taemin: Um, u look sad... wae??
EunShi: Huh? na? aniyo... i'm fine... ah! (takes out something form her bag) i almost forgot! (gives)
Taemin: Uh? what's this? (takes) VIP pass?
EunShi: (nods) Um! my school festival is in two days time, so why don't u and Ahn come?
Taemin: Ah, can i??
EunShi: Of course! (smiles)
Taemin: (looks at the ticket) Eh, there's three?
EunShi: Oh, yeah... i was thinking about giving one to Youngyoon... since your noona works with her, do u think she can pass it to her?
Taemin: Sure! i'll let her know!
EunShi: Great! thanks Taemin-ah! oh, are u done? let me do the dishes...
Taemin: Oh? gwenchana.. i'll do it... noona must be tired from cooking right? i'll do it... (smiles)
EunShi: Jeongmal?? aigoo.. i can do it...
Taemin: Uh, uh... i'll do it!
EunShi: (sighs then rubs Taemin's head) Gomawo, Taemin-ah...
Taemin: Ne! (smiles)
EunShi: Then... i'm going home...
Taemin: I'll walk u out!
EunShi: (nods) Okay... (smiles)

Taemin follows EunShi till the gate. he wants to walk he home, but she refuses. so, she just let him accompany her till the gate. before she leaves, she reminds him to pass the tickets to Ahn and Youngyoon. Taemin smiles and promise that he will. both of them didn't realizes that a pair of eyes are watching them. whose eyes are they??
