It felt like an eternity for year-end holidays to arrive. All of us finished writing our final exams and our results come during the start of our second year. I hadn't met Woo-seok all this while. He vanished all of a sudden and who knows where. Jinyoung had to go to China a month later to attend the postponed meeting and he came back in just two days. Daehyun and Sakura got into a relationship within a blink of an eye. Jinyoung and I have become more closer than ever. And I'm still a virgin while Sakura lost it within a month. I still wonder how.
Jinyoung and I decided on travelling together back to my country and stay there with me for half of the holidays. During the other half, we were going to Beijing to introduce me to his dad and stay there. It would also be comfortable for Jinyoung to be present in the meetings there, during the second-half of the holidays and he also gets to stay with me.
Sakura and Daehyun saw me, Jinyoung and Kiu off at the airport. Kiu was travelling directly to China, so we were parting ways with him.
"Jinyoung-" Sakura called. "Don't you dare try anything with Yuna or I'll make the world hate you and you won't die a peaceful life."
"Says a non-virgin of the same age."
"YOU-". As for Jinyoung and Sakura, they still haven't changed.
"Alright- As cute as you both are, fighting with each other for Yuna, brothers and sisters mustn't fight-" Daehyun smiled, standing in front of both of them.
"I ain't a sister of this devil. He might do something to Yuna-chan."
"How would you know if I did anything-" he crossed his arms and smiled.
"I'm seriously going to kill this gu-"
"Nonono- Sakura-chan. He won't do anything." I hugged her. "He's a good boy-"
"Does his face look like a good boy now? Look at him. I bet he's scheming something up in the big head of his."
"Even if he does, I'll be sure to tell you Sakura-chan. You're free to spank his ass anytime." Sakura grinned mischievously.
"It's my ass that'll hurt. Not yours." Jinyoung complained. I ignored him.
"Daehyun! Please take care of her. Don't ever ever ever let her go out of your sight. I beg of you. Take good care, both of you." I said.
"Yuna-channnn. It's as if you're leaving forever." She started to cry, hugging me.
"Alright alright. It won't be long. Please don't cry. I'll be back before you know it."
"Daehyun. Bye." I smiled, giving him a tight hug.
"Sakura-" Jinyoung called.
"What, you asshole?" she sniffed.
"As much as I hate you, take care." they hugged.
"Ahhhh- I love the both of you too much. I feel like a mother, looking at the both of you grow up."
"You got into a relationship after us though." I laughed.
"It doesn't matter."
"Bye both of you."
It was hard for me to say goodbye to the both of them. It was hard even for Jinyoung. She was beside me this whole year and I can't thank her enough for that. She helped me make beautiful memories during my time in college.
"I miss all of them already" I pouted.
"Aren't you excited to see your parents?"
I smiled, as we boarded onto the plane "Yep"
"Well then, let's have fun."
We reached the hotel we were staying in and checked-in. A fair, young woman gave us our room card.
"Jinyoung-"
"Mm?"
"Isn't this too rich for me to stay in? I should pay you back." I tilted my head.
"I won't let you pay me back. Also, get used to it, because you'll collapse if you see the hotel we'll be staying in Beijing." He grinned.
"You aren't serious."
"I am, darling."
"This is too high-class. Are you really that rich?" I tilted my head.
"I guess? That's a weird question considering you've been with me for almost a year." We entered into our room.
"Why didn't you tell me you were that rich? By the way what if I loved you for your money instead? What would you do? Also, are we staying in one room?"
"You're asking too many questions. I know you don't love me for my money. And yes we are staying in one room. More like an apartment suite. " He ruffled my hair.
"Reallyyyy?" My face brightened up.
"Reaaaally." He gave me a kiss.
"Are you ready to go meet your parents?"
"I am. How about you?" I smiled hugging his waist, looking up at him.
"Less ready to meet your sister." He referred the time when my sister asked me whether he was hot or not on the phone call.
"Who cares about what my sister thinks about you." I beamed at him.
"It's all about making a good impression on your family."
"Don't worry- You made a good impression with just a phone call." I reached to pat his head. "Let's gooooo"
I clicked the number on my elevator.
"This feels too nostalgic. It's as if I'm coming back to the house of my past-life." I muttered, ringing the bell of my house.
"I really can't wait to see your room. I'm going straighttttt into your room." He demonstrated with his hand, making me melt at his cuteness.
The door opened and I found my sister standing there.
"Helloo" I hugged her. She grinned at Jinyoung.
"You must be Jinyoung? Nice to meet you. I'm Soojin."
"Am I hot enough?" he winked at her. My heart skipped a beat at that. I could imagine what it did to Soojin. Her eyes widened with embarrassment and she turned red.
"Sorry about that.." she said quietly, blushing hard.
"No no I'm sorry" He laughed. "I was kidding. I just couldn't help it."
"I know. He's a meanie." I said to Soojin. He made a sad baby face.
We entered in, finding my mom and dad sitting on the sofa.
"How are you?" I asked both of them, with a smile.
"Yes yes, we're fine. And nice to meet you, Jinyoung." My mom said standing beside me. "Where did you even find this handsome man? He looks like a CEO from kdramaland. " She whispered to me.
"Mommm, you're my mom!"
"Alright alright sorry" she chuckled.
"Thank you for taking care of my daughter. We are more than happy to have you here." My dad said.
"Mom mom."
"Mhm?"
"Mom!"
"What?!"
"I missed you." I frowned at my mom.
"I missed you too, love" she hugged me. Soojin dragged me into my room.
"Are you kidding me?"
I started to laugh. "I'm sure you'll love him. I'm sorry about that."
"No! I'm already in love! How did you even find this guy?"
"I have no idea myself" I grinned. "Now now- he wanted to see my room. And I left him alone." I walked towards him and dragged him into my room, after my sister left.
"Welcome to my room-" I said shyly.
"It's nice and comfy here. Wow." He sat on my bed and looked around. After a while he got up and was about to open the drawer.
"No-" I stood right in between him and the drawer.
He grinned. "I get it. There's something embarrassing in there."
"No."
"Move aside."
"No."
"I'll force you to-"
"Wait wai-" He opened the drawer before I could stop him. I looked inside and there was nothing in there.
"Heh-" I let out a nervous laugh.
"Where is it?"
"Where is what?" I asked innocently.
"The embarrassing thing-"
"I remembered I threw it away."
"What is it?"
"Just my old photos." I answered lightly.
"It isn't possible to be thrown away." He went outside. "Soojin- Do you have the old photo album of your sister's?"
"Yep. It's safe in the shelf."
"Hahha" He laughed at me.
"No. Nono. Soojin, don't you dare give it to him. I will curse you for the rest of your life." Of course Soojin would never listen. He got the album. It had all my embarrassing primary and middle school photos. I used to be really fat then.
"You used to be so cuteee-"
"I wish I had burnt that book before I left this place" I mumbled.
"I wish I could keep this album."
"It's Yuna's. You can keep it if you want." Soojin answered.
"Really?" He looked up at me expectantly, waiting for an answer.
"Ughh. Fine! Keep it!"
We stayed over for the whole day.
"Yuna, are you and Jinyoung staying in one room?"
"Yeah."
"REALLY?! WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS?"
"Shhhhh- Nothing will happen. He's a good boy."
"Really? He absolutely doesn't look like one at all." She looked over at him who was sitting there on my bed, smiling at me.
"Why is everyone saying the same thing?"
"You're really lucky. He's hot and handsome. And look at him. He's smiling at you like an idiot for no reason."
"I think he got too excited because he got the photo album. I'm worried."
She chuckled. "He must be cute only around you. Well he is cute. Anyway. Sister advice. Listen to me. I've seen it many times. A girl can steal away your boyfriend in the blink of an eye. Well she won't care about his girlfriend. So don't you dare risk it. He looks like a player though. "
"Does he even look like a girl could steal him away?" I looked at him, still finding him smiling at me, like a lovesick puppy. "He looks like he's going to be clinging onto me till I die."
"Actually it does look like it. Is he the groom?"
"What?!"
"Answer." she stated.
"Wha- Um well I love him the most in this world."
"I'm taking it as a yes. All the girls are going to be jealous seriously. Even I'm jealous. You guys honestly make a perfect couple. I think I'm going to cry-"
"No- I already dealt with the crying before I left Singapore. So not again. No! Just no. Hold it in, darling! Hold it!"
Tears poured out of her eyes.
"Jesus." I hugged her. "Calm down. I won't be leaving you or anything"
I made her stop crying, somehow. We left my house and went back into the hotel.
"Why were you smiling at me the whole day?"
"Because I got the album." He gave me a victory look. "Yuna"
"Hm?"
"Am I cute?"
"Yes you are."
"How cute am I? Let's ask each other a question. What do you think about me?"
"Cuter than babies." I pat his head. "In fact, as we become closer, you're turning more baby-ish and more adult-ish? I guess? I like both sides of you though."
"Would the 'you' a year ago, have said the same thing?"
"She would've rather choked you to death for asking that question." We walked into our room. "Same question to you. "
"That's true. I find you uncontrollably irresistible all time. You turn me on just by looking at you. You are the most beautiful person I met. You are childish all times but- I know when you become all sexy and hot-"
"Wait- when is that?"
"When I do this- ". He pulled me closer to him, and pressed his body against me. Goose bumps rose as usual. He cupped my breasts, making me satisfied. I moaned, as his hot breathe fell on my neck. My heart began to beat out of my chest.
Jesus. My heart is always my worst enemy during these times.
"So how long are we planning to keep your virginity a secret?" he muttered.
