The next morning was different. My face looked brighter, and I seemed happier than I've ever been. It's strange. I had no idea that one kiss could alter my life forever. Though, what are we now?
I wake up energized. However, I always awake from sleeping, appearing as some kind of hideous sea creature. That is until I cleanse my face, and look less scary. I exit the gorgeous guest room with my purse, forgetting that I have Hyun-ki's shirt on. I enter the nice bathroom, which you'd think would be hard to locate in a mansion, but on the contrary, it was effortless. When I entered the bathroom, it slipped my mind that I don't have a toothbrush.
"Dang it!", I panic. My breath is going to smell horrific if anybody comes near me. Luckily, Ji-hoon walked by the bathroom door just in time.
"MaeMae?", he stands close to the door waiting patiently for an answer.
"Yes. Ji-hoon?", I reply.
"You alright in there?", Ji-hoon sincerely asks.
"Mhmm. But I need a toothbrush. Do you guys have spares?", I place my hand on my forehead and set my elbows on the counter of the bathroom sink.
"Yeah sure. I'll be back in a minute", Ji-hoon says as he motions away from the door.
It was 1 minute later. Ji-hoon returned with a toothbrush and small towel.
"Here you go. I didn't know if maybe you needed a towel to dry your face or something", Ji-hoon tells me not realizing how thoughtful this action was.
"Aaaawww. Thanks Ji-hoon. I appreciate it", I acknowledge his kindness while grabbing the towel and toothbrush with one hand, and hiding Hyun-ki's shirt behind the bathroom door. Ji-hoon turns and disappears down the long hallway. He's so nice! Not that I'm necessarily surprised.
As I was undertaking my morning routine I felt incredibly thankful that I always carry facial cleansers, a hair brush, comb, scrunchies, bobby pins, moisturizers, headbands, feminine products, and perfume. When I think about it....this purse holds a lot of stuff.
I made the decision to style my pinkish-purplish hair in a high bun with a black headband.
I creep back to the guest room, and change into the clothes I wore yesterday. What should I do today? Whatever it may be, I need to go back to the apartment and change ASAP!
Oblivious as to what I should do, I knock on Hyun-ki's door. The door was open so I came in unannounced. My bad! I enter to see Hyun-ki lying on his cozy blue bed. He was so peaceful. I had to change that. In saying that, I ran over to his bed and jumped on it childishly. Hyun-ki awoke highly alarmed, and unintentionally knocked me off of the bed.
"Wha-wha-what? MaeMae?", Hyun-ki asks as I try to stop laughing after falling hard on the floor. Hyun-ki quuckly jumps out of bed, and carefully helps me up.
"Oh my...gosh... That...was so....funny. You should've seen your face", I hold my stomach to hold back my sense of humor. Hyun-ki just starts shaking his head in a funnily way, but then he starts crossing his arms in an attempt to appear serious.
"So you thought that was funny?", Hyun-ki steps closer to me making me stop giggling.
"Ye...yeah. It was kind of funny", I admit but still stepping back as Hyun-ki gets nearer and nearer.
"Okay it wasn't that funny....really it wasn't", I have a smile on my face but a little worried as to what Hyun-ki would do.
He just starts playing with my hair making me exceedingly nervous out of my mind. Then he leans towards me as if he's about to kiss me, but then....Yong-sun storms into the room red as a cherry tomato.
"Seriously I'm trying to sleep. I was dreaming and this? Right now you waking me up is a nightmare. So if you still wanna breathe in the next 30 seconds, then say you're sorry and shut up!", Yong-sun explodes and I'm about to start chuckling, but Hyun-ki securely covers my mouth with his soft hands.
"I'm sorry...but MaeMae...fell", Hyun-ki lies right through his pretty teeth.
"Well next time..... FALL....MORE QUIETLY!", Yong-sun yells with such anger. I promise myself that I will never disturb that creature's sleep again. Yong-sun dashes out of the room, and goes back to sleep.
"Uuummm. Okay then. I'm sorry you guys live with that bag of flamin hots", I joke as Hyun-ki rubs his head not knowing what to do next.
"He's like my brother so I'm used to it", Hyun-ki smiles so radiantly that I couldn't prevent myself from grinning.
"I bet underneath that craziness is a sweet, caring guy", I conclude regardless of what just happened.
"He is. Trust me", Hyun-ki claims. When he told me to trust him....those words made me feel like I can put all of my hope and faith in him. What is wrong with me? Have I? No....no...it's not that.
"Well...can I trust you to take me home", I ease my way into a favor while folding my hands behind my back.
"Yeah, sure. Just...give me a sec to get ready", Hyun-ki grabs my arm and smoothly guides me to the door.
"Okay, take your time", I tried not to rush him because I wasn't eager to get back home, but I missed my best friend.
I got to wondering about Hyun-ki. Will I ever see him again? Was this just an unimportant moment to him? Will he forget about me? Does he care about me? Do I care about him? I care about every human being, but am I.....in love with Hyun-ki? Or is my heart playing tricks on me?
