Chapter 8 - A COUPLE OF RETARDS

As Gee's daily routine. She wakes up early to jog but this time she checked her shoes before she left. She lessened her time for jogging this time thinking of going back earlier so that she can take a bath first so that she will not be late and avoid Yuna blaming her self. She went to the rooftop to practice the dance routine Senior Kite had taught them. After 2 runs of practice she went downstairs. As she was going downstairs she was already on the 6th floor when Yibo came out. Yibo saw a familiar figure going downstairs. Yibo focused his eyes if Gee was wearing a wrong pair of shoes again but she wasn't. But Gee skipped the last step that is why she almost fell again.

Gee: Yaah! (but luckily she was able to balance herself)

Yibo was surprised not only she almost fell but by the way she screamed. She screamed but not sounded like a girl.

Yibo: Unbelievable. (he said shaking his head)

He didn't run downstairs like he normally do because he just looked after her until she reached the 5th floor and went inside. He just smirked while shaking his head.

When Gee went back to their dorm. Yuna was already awake and she's heading to the bathroom. They were both surprised to see each other.

Yuna: You go first.

Gee: ah no you go first, im still covered in sweat I have to rest for a while (she smiled)

Yuna's reaction seems she was asking why.

Gee: Ah I went out for a jog.

Yuna: okey, then I'll go first.

Gee smiled at her then Yuna went to the bathroom.

While Gee was finished in preparing her clothes. She went to the kitchen and saw calendar with things written on it posted on the refrigerator. She read oatmeal for breakfast on the current day so she smiled and looked for it from the cabinet and she saw it then she took it out and she put it on the table. She put out 2 bowls and 2 glasses. She turned on the water heater. Yuna came out and was already finished. She smiled at her and went to the bathroom but Yuna didn't smiled back. It made her frown.

When she was finished. She saw there was only one bowl left in the table but it has oatmeal already and the glass has milk on it. She was saddened when she saw that the bowl and glass she prepared for Yuna was already washed. She can hear a hair drying blower from Yuna's room. She went to her room feeling sad. Yuna went ahead of her.

They were walking with distance from each other. When they got on the first floor. She didn't noticed Yibo came out from the other elevator then her phone rang. It was Moru.

Moru: hey Im on my way to your dorm. Did you have your breakfast already?

Gee: yeah ( she said feeling down)

Moru: hey are you okey?

Gee: (she sighed) yeah

Moru: huh?

Gee: can you come here immediately? I missed you already

Yibo was shocked from what he heard.

Moru: what? Hey did something happened??? Im already here at the gate, its still early so you will not be late, come and meet me here.

Gee: really? Okey im on my way.

She turned around and she excitedly ran to the hallway. She didn't noticed Yibo because of his hair and he is not wearing any make up and he is only wearing a blue jacket with hoody and blue sweat pants so he looked like a fellow trainee. Yibo just followed her with his eyes with crooked eyebrows. He was shaking his head. Gee and Moru waved at each other. When the guard saw it, he aked for Moru's ID then he let him in. They hugged each other.

Moru: oy! What happened to you? Why you sounded like your about to give up or something?

Gee: No mom, I just missed you (she smiled like she was a kid missing his mother)

Moru: aww come here my little princess (he opened his arms inviting Gee to come to her like he was his mom) there there (moru was rubbing her back)

Then they both laugh out loud like crazy hitting each others back.

They were acting like a mother and a daughter, the guard who was looking at them was very shocked and thought they were weirdos.

Yibo was so shocked at the scene he was seeing. He followed her just to tell her about the rule of having a relationship during the training but he wasn't expecting to see Gee was acting like a kid with a guy and they even hugged each other then they laughed so loud like crazy. Yibo was so confused of what to feel right now. He was so irritated he turned his back and walked away.

Moru: Hey seriously , tell me what happened. (they sat on a plant box)

Gee sighed and told Moru everything.

Moru: (sighed) girl problems?

Gee: yeah…

They both sighed

Moru: so what are you going to do now?

Gee: I don't know, hey your suppose to give me an advice right?

Moru: I'm sorry dude, I don't know anything when it comes to girl

Gee: haish…

Moru: (sighed) hahaha (he laughed feeling useless and handed Gee a packed food in a paper bag)

Gee noticed it so she wrapped her arms to his shoukders.

Gee: hahaha don't feel sorry man! Thank you for coming here at a time like this, I was really wishing I could see you and you just came right on time. Thank you for listening and for this. (she said smiling while shaking the bag of food Moru brought for her)

Moru: (he removed her arms) seriously man, what are you going to do? (he said feeling worried)

Gee: hahaha I don't know either.

They looked at each other, they hugged and cried like it's the end of the world.

Gee: Im dead!

Moru: Yeah!

They let go wiping their eyes like they have real tears.

Gee: (she opened the bag of packed food Moru brought for her) come on let's just eat this -WOOOOOOOW

Moru smiled like he won something. He cooked Gee's favorite tofu coated with onion flavored bread crumbs with gravy and soy sauce.

Moru: huh bet you're craving for that (he said with arms on his front)

Gee: Thanks man! (she took a bite, she chew it like it was the moat delicious tofu she ever ate, she was teary eyed) Your breaded tofu is the best in the world man!

Moru: hah of course

Gee took another bite one after another. She has eaten 5 pieces in a row when she felt like she can't breathe. She choked, but Moru just laughed at him instead of giving her water.

Gee: Uhk Moru-chi im choking (she was coughing between her words)

From a distance Yibo was practicing his skateboard when he heard a loud laugh he got distracted he lift up his skateboard in his feet, with one hand holding it and the other one on his waist he didn't noticed he was watching them.

Moru: ahahahaha sorry dude I forgot to bring lemon water hahahahaha (he just rubbed her back

Gee punched her chest to be able to breathe. Moru saw a fountain near them and ran to it to scoop water from it. He was laughing hard while he was running back to her with water on his palms but Moru tripped and fell on his face first on the ground. Gee was dying at laughing at him. Moru stood up and fixed himself like nothing happened but there was a group of girls passing by and they what happened but they are trying hard not to laugh. Gee saw it too so she even laughed harder her stomach was aching then she fell to the plant box with her back. Yibo was shocked he almost run to her while Moru was laughing at her but the girls passing by got worried they approached ran towards her and helped her up.

Girl : are you okey Gee? (she handed a bottled water)

Gee: (was confused because she cant remember her) ah hahaha yeah im okey thank you.

Moru and Yibo were shocked Moru got envious.

The girls waved at her gooodbye and they were giggling.

Yibo: (laughing silently at himself) am I really seeing this? (he said to himself shaking his head then he put down his skateboard to ride it again) retards

Moru: what? What is up with them? Hello I tripped and fell on my face girl? (he said it waving his hands)

They both laughed and Moru sat beside her. Gee closed the box and put it back on the bag, she drank the water the girl gave her.

Moru: (became serious) hey

Gee: (became serious looked at Moru then she sighed) Im sorry dude but Im really more handsome than you. (rubbing her chin)

Moru: (hit her in the head) idiot!

Gee: hahahaha hey you have to go, its almost time (she looked at her wrist watch but she doesn't have) and I have to go now. (she stood up and pushing Moru to walk)

Moru: (looked at her with a confused reaction) you don't have a wrist watch hey wait, (he turned to face her and he put his hands on Gee's shoulder) I don't know how can I help in fixing your problem with your roommate but if ever you're feeling down again, call me immediately okey!

Gee: (smiled) of course , thanks Moru

Moru: (smiled back, and pat her head) good gi- good boy (then he put his arms to her shoulder)

Gee also put her arms to Moru's shoulder then they went to the gate. Yibo got irritated he took his skateboard and went inside.

On the 2nd floor of AMPM ENT'S office building, Sean was watching them the whole time. When he saw Yibo went inside the dorm building, he started to walk smiling.

During their English training session, Ms. Geronimo called Gee so she stood up. Ms. Geronimo started to talk to her in English and she responded in English. They've been talking in English for almost 5 minutes and everyone were just listening with some of them have their mouth open. Ms. Geronimo was just asking her some questions like they are pretending their in an interview. Before Ms. Geronimo let her sit she asked Gee her last question.

Ms. Geronimo: If ever we spare you from taking English language training, what are you going to do with your spare time?

Gee: (she smiled like a child when she remembered the piano that she saw on the vocal training room) I will learn how to play an instrument. If possible, may I use the piano in the vocalization training room?

Ms. Geronimo gave her a smile saying yes to her then she gestured that she may take her seat. She even said that they will converse in English all the time though they both came from the same country.

Gee: (Her eyes sparkled) for real??? (she couldn't believe it) Thank you Ms. G ah Ms. Geronino

Ms. Geronimo: (she smiled again) I think Ms. G sounds better than Ms.Geronino

Leo: its Ms. Geronimo dude (he whispered to her)

Gee: ah thanks (she smiled awkwardly trying to remember him) L-

Leo: Leon- Leo its Leo

Gee: ahahaha yeah Leo thanks man!

Vocalization training with Ms. Geronimo…

Ms.Geronimo asked Gee to come and sit beside her and she is speaking in English.

Ms. G: How much do you know about playing the piano?

Gee: Not much Ms. G, the last time I played it was when im still in high school, so probably I might have to relearn it . (she said)

Ms. G: would you mind playing your favorite piece for us?

Gee: …

Gee remembered a scene where Jake was teaching her how to play the piano for the first time. She was hesitating but she took a deep breathe and then she put her fingers on the piano and she played the single tone "twinkle, twinkle little star." Everyone was shocked even Ms. G, after she played the first lines to chorus. Everyone was laughing.

Male trainee: that's it?

Gee: yes, its my favorite piece (she said proudly)

Everyone continued to laugh.

Male trainee: are you joking?

Gee: joking? Of course not.

Everyone was laughing.

Ms. G: uh well then, lets begin with our vocalization training.

Gee went back to her seat, she just ignored the way they are looking at her. Leon was sitting beside him that startled her.

Leon: seriously? That's your favorite?

Gee: yeah, it's the first piece that I learned so its my favorite.

Leon: (cant believe expression) your weird (but he smiled)

Gee just shrugged her shoulder.

Lunchbreak….

Gee was following Yuna to the cafeteria because she saw her walking alone, but Leo was following her too. When Gee stopped suddenly because she saw Yuna stopped Leo bumped to her back.

Leon: ouch (he was rubbing his chin)

Gee: oh sorry bro, I didn't noticed you on my back.

Leon: Why are you following her?

Yuna took her food from the counter and went to the unoccupied seat. Gee and Leo took their food from the counter and sat on Yuna's seat.

Gee: May we join you? (she smiled holding her tray.

Yuna looked at her but she didn't smiled back and continue eating. Gee gulped but still she smiled and took a seat Leo sat beside her, they are facing Yuna. Gee opened the bag she was carrying and took out the box of breaded tofu Moru gave her. She took out also the sauce and put it on the center. It got Leo and Yuna's attention and both sniffed that made her smile.

Gee: my brother brOught me this on his way to work you can have some.

Both Yuna and Leo took a piece and said thanks to her then they both took a bite with eyes closed proof that they liked it. Gee smiled and took a piece then the three of them seemed to reach the heavens because of the taste.

After Yuna finished two pieces of breaded tofu and her food. She stood up and took her tray.

Yuna: (bowing) thank you for the breaded tofu. It was delicious. (then she took her leave)

Gee was saddened and took a deep breath and smile.

Leo: I bet it was her favorite too.

Gee: You think so?

Leo: She seems ignoring you but she cOuldn't resist the smell of onion breaded tofu. Some girls are soft when it comes to their favorite food.

Gee's eyes sparkled like she saw a light of hope.

Gee: hey bro, do you know things about girls?

Leo: Well based from my past relationships I kind of.

Gee: (she hold on Leo's two shoulders facing her) Bro! Ah no, sensei! Will you teach me?

Leo: (he smirked and fanning himself like he was holding one)

Gee: Please sensei! (she was begging, and she offered the onion breaded tofu)

Leo: (sniffed on the tofu) if you begged and offered something like that then I guess I have no choice. (he said and took another piece)

Gee: (lifted her face) thank you sensei!

Leo took a bite and smirked confidently. When Gee noticed that there are only four pieces left. She took one and put it on Leo's tray.

Gee: sensei, I want to save this for my friend when he got back from work.

Leo: (trying to remember something) senior Yibo?

Gee: (smiled widely) yeah (she arranged it and cleaned the box from smudges)

Leo: ah I see, how did you become friends with him? He doesn't look friendly though and you said you want to be friends with him but you seem close to him already?

Gee: yeah he seems cold at first but maybe he is a kind of person who gets comfortable once he get to know you and when he do, he will be like a different person from the impression he was giving off and actually we really aren't friends yet, we will soon be (she smiled confidently)
