'WHAT TO DO?!'
'I can't keep using that crappy excuse of I'm from the future'
'It would make me look like a weirdo, especially in front of the others'
'Think Dylan'
'Think!'
"Uhm Chae-hyun told me" I answer instinctively.
'Phew! Blame it on the little sister. She owes me'
'I'm going to have to send her a text later to corroborate the alibi.'
'I can feel my wallet hurting'
'I know its wrong to bribe a little kid but when the going gets tough the rich don't play fair.'
'Whoever said money can't buy you happiness was wrong. You just got to ask how much.'
My self monologue is rudely interrupted by Jaebum.
Dude! What is up with your timing? Now I can't even finish my thoughts.
"Who is Chae-hyun?" he asks with a questioning gaze
"Bae's little sister, the one who went with us to the amusement park" I answer.
"That wasn't your sister!?" He says surprisingly
"No.. Hers"
The group gets worked up again.
JEEZ can you guys stop acting like teenagers.
Oh wait. They are.
This is why I don't like younger kids. Always making a big deal over small things.
Unless they are hot.
Then you know exceptions can be made.
Where were we? Oh right.
The girls are now talking in their own group, who knows what they are busy discussing while Jaebum is giving me the eye.
"Stop looking at me like that Jae. You are cool and all. But i'm totally not into guys" I protect my chasting making an X across my chest with my arms.
He just rolls his eyes at my antics.
"You are not even my type bro! I hate pretty boys", he jokes. "So you've already met her family? you guys are serious hey?"
"Ho..." Phew almost a mistake again. Really can't wait for her to start using her stage name then these small strange slips won't be so strange. "Choo-ah is my future"
"Dude! Can you not be so cheesy" He says with a grossed out look
"It ain't sappy if its true" I say in the most serious of tones.
Jaebum doesn't react and just looks at me with a straight face, "You make it real easy to hate you. If the guys in class were to know you and the ICE princess were a thing after only 2 weeks at school. Your life would be over"
Giving him the puppy dog eyes, I put on my aegyo voice and like a small kid I over-exaggerate my motions cutely and slur my words" Byut you wyon't be dyoing telling on me hyun hyun"
He just slaps my back hard in disgust.
Even causing the girls to take a small break to see what happened.
We just smile at them and explain, "Guy's stuff"
Seeing this they accept the reasoning and once more enter into their own world.
Jaebum looks at me " Dylan, Never again. If you ever use that voice on me again. YOU ARE DEAD!" He holds his fist up to me threatingly.
We laugh for a bit. Soon after the commotion finally settles down, we head back to eating
I unwrap the packaging and hand Hora a bowl of Jjajangmyeon. She smiles and mouths
'Thank you'
Seeing her sincere gratitude, I can't help but think that I just won a couple of brownie points.
After having lunch we played a game of wits to decide who will do the dishes.
Hora's competitive nature once more revealed it self.
She was way too happy winning.
In the end it was Jaebum and Min-seo who lost but Hora and I end up doing the dishes anyway.
Those two seemed like they would cause a bigger mess trying to clean than actual cleaning.
Hora and I make a perfect team.
While she washes, I dry and pack away.
It is a really harmonious feeling.
We are in sync.
No words get said but it does feel like we are growing closer. Understanding.
The rest of the dayspasses, We decide to make this little group a weekly thing. Apparently, it was fun and productive for the others too.
I really wanted to object.
Who are they to take away from my HORA TIME. But since she herself pleaded to me when I was vehemently rejecting them, I could do nothing but resign myself to defeat.
At about 5 pm the trio finally left. Good Riddance! If you ask me.
The house is finally calm and serene once more.
Hora sitting on the couch drinking a peach flavored drink and reading one of the books she took from my self with her feet under her.
She really looks .... like a little housewife right now.
I once more affirm my determination.
Seeing her in this light is a privilege only I can have.
I will never let anyone else have this pleasure.
Trying not to destroy her peace, I move next to her silently
I recline back into the seat and just lean my head into the headrest so that I can face her.
The light wind coming from the windows and the ever dimming son makes the atmosphere ..... really perfect.
I guess today wasn't such a bad 'study session' after all.
