Chapter 7 - He missed me so much

As the plane landed in America, both of the girls checked out and picked up their luggage. As they dragging their luggage outside of the platform, they saw a man with the program's tag.

"Hello, we're the students from South Korea." Yong In greeted as they went to him.

"Oh, hello and welcome to America. I'll be the drivers for all the students who came for the exhange student program. Next, I'll bring you to your dorm you'll be staying during your time here. For today, you can adjust yourself with the others and starting from tomorrow, the schedule will start. Come with me, please." They both nodded and dragged their luggage following the man into a van. The man drove to the dorm he mentioned earlier.

" We're here. I'll just send you until here. You can just go in and register yourself with the warden in there."

"Okay,thank you." They both get off and dragged their luggage inside to the front desk. After they finished with the process, the warden brought them to their room.

"How are you feeling, Ji Mi?" Yong In asked to make sure she feels good.

"Yeah, senior. It's good."

"Don't call me senior. Just call me sis. We'll be together for a long time and I wouldn't like to feel far from you."

"Yes, sis." Yong In smiled and unpacked her things. She took out her phone and turned it on. There were so many missed calls from Sung Ki. She chuckled. She dialled his number.

On the phone:

Sung Ki: Sis! Why are you not picking up?! I've said already that you can't ignore me, right?

Yong In: Hey! I'm on flight! How can I turned on the phone?! I just arrived anyway and the first thing I do is calling you. You should be thankful.

Sung Ki: Okay then. How is it there?

Yong In: Pretty good. The weather's nice and the people here are also nice.

Sung Ki: Don't be too comfortable there. Or else I will fly to you to drag you back here.

Yong In: Anyway, Sung Ki. I still have many things to do. How about I call you later?

Sung Ki: Okay. Bye, sis.

Yong In: Mm.. Bye.

Yong In ended the call.

"Who is it?" Yong In was startled and she looked back.

"Ah, I'm sorry if I startled you. Hello, I'm Akihito Jina from Japan." The girl held out her hand to have a shake. Yong In reached for it.

"I'm Kim Yong In from South Korea. There's my junior, Choi Ji Mi." Yong In pointed out to the girl who was sorted out her things.

"Nice to meet you both. How about we change our phone numbers? We'll be together for a long time here and after we got back, we can still keep in touch. How about it?"

"Nice idea. Sure. Ji Mi! Come here." Ji Mi came towards both of them.

"Yes, sis?"

"Hello, Ji Mi. I'm Akihito Jina from Japan."

"Hello. Nice to meet you." They exchanged their phone numbers and then they went on with their own things.

The three girls went outside to eat together. After they back from the restaurant, Yong In's phone rang. She took the phone out and it was a video call from Sung Ki. She picked it up.

Video calling:

Sung Ki: Hi! Did you miss me? Because I miss you so much!

Yong In: Umm... Let me think. No.

Sung Ki: *expression changes* Then, I'm going to hang up.

Yong In: Hey! I'm just kidding, okay? I miss you too!

Sung Ki: *smiled happily* What are you doing?

Yong In: Nothing, just got back from the dinner.

Sung Ki: Did you got a new friend? Did any guy try to be close to you?

Yong In: First question, yes. I got a new friend. She's from Japan. And for the second one, no comment.

Sung Ki: That means there is, right? Haish, I think I need to go there now. I can't stand other boy getting close with you.

Yong In: Hey, don't be so jealous! I never met any boy yet. Our schedule will start tomorrow.

Sung Ki: It's a relief. If there's any boy trying to hit on you, call me. I'll go there right away. No one can take my sister.

Yong In: *chuckled* You're so cute, Sung Ki... Ahh !!! Why are you so cute?!

Sung Ki: I'm always cute. Did you just notice it?

Outside the phone:

Jina and the others except Ji Mi are watching Yong In video calling with someone they assumed as her boyfriend from the way she talked and smiled.

Video calling:

Yong In: Sung Ki... I think they're watching me. I think I need to go now or else they'll tease me about it.

Sung Ki: Who? Let me see them! I can ask for their help.

Yong In: What help?! Don't...

Sung Ki: Ji Mi ! Come here for a while!

Outside the phone:

Ji Mi was shocked when she heard Sung Ki's shouting for her name from Yong In's phone. She went to Yong In.

Video calling:

Sung Ki: Ji Mi... How many is there in the dorm now?

Ji Mi: Umm... It's 8 of us including me and Sis Yong In.

Sung Ki: Can you let me see them?

Yong In: Sung Ki! What are you doing?

Outside the phone:

Jina and the others heard about it and Jina excitedly took Yong In's phone from her hand and ran away and Yong In just let her be.

Video calling:

Jina: Hi! I'm Jina. Nice to meet you, Yong In's boyfriend.

Sung Ki: Ah ? I'm not...

Jina: No need to be embarass. We already knew it.

Sung Ki: Whatever you said. Anyway, can you do me a favour?

Jina: Yeah, what is it?

Sung Ki: Don't let any boys get close to her.

Jina: I know what to do. Don't worry.

Sung Ki: Thanks. Can you give the phone back to her?

Jina: Yeah, wait for a while.

Outside the phone:

Jina went back to where Yong In was at and gave the phone back to her. She took it and glared at her with 'I'll settle it with you later' face.

Video calling:

Yong In: What did you talk about with her?

Sung Ki: Nothing.

Yong In: If I knew this would happen, I won't pick it up.

Sung Ki: Sis... I'm just doing it for your own good. If there's too many boys hitting on you, you'll be tired from rejecting them. So, I don't want you to be tired. Isn't it a good thing?

Yong In: Whatever. *rolled her eyes* It's late already. We'll talk later, okay?

Sung Ki: Okay!

She ended the video call and sighed. She got up from her bed and went towards the others who were sitting in the middle.

"Don't mind whatever he said, Jina. I know how to take care of myself. And one more thing, he's not my boyfriend. He's my little brother." Everyone shook at her statement.

"Little brother? He cared about you too much to be your little brother." Jina said.

"To be exact, we're not related by blood. But still, I always thought him as my little brother." She sat together with them.

"Ji Mi maybe already knew about it. I'm quite famous at our school and there are many people want to get close to me but they're all fake. One day, I really need someone to be by my side sincerely and he came. From that day, we got close with each other. By being with him, I feel happy and I think he's different from others and he really care about me from the bottom of his heart. I can feel it. "

" Touching love story. Are you sure you don't have any feelings towards him?"

"No. He's always a little boy to me. Anyway, I don't want to start any relationship yet and only focusing on achieving my dreams. Enough about it, it's late now. We still have many things to do tomorrow. Let's go to bed now." Everyone nodded and left to each bed.
