"Hey Kallie, I have something to tell you", I give her a stern look.
"What is it?" Kallie has a concerned face.
"Hyun-ki is coming over to our apartment", I plug my ears just in case she started freaking out. She let out deep breaths as if she were hyperventilating.
"Oh...My...Gosh! Are you serious?" She covers her face with her hands in shock. I simply tilt my head forward.
"Girl, I'm hyperventilating", she tells me as I cover my mouth trying not to laugh.
"Trust me. I knoooooow", I react and she nudges me.
I feel a sudden buzz in my blue purse. I reach into my purse, and pull out my annoying phone.
"I gotta take this Kal", I step aside before entering the classroom. She nods, and gives me a sly grin.
She must've seen Hyun-ki on the caller's screen.
"Hi Hyun-ki", I express a happy feeling in my voice.
"Hey MaeMae. Are you still available tonight?" He expresses an eager feeling in his voice.
"For you....of course", I realized how corny I got so quickly.
"Hahahahaha. You're so adorable", he complimented and I could sense him blushing through the phone.
"Weird question, but....are you blushing?" I chuckle waiting for his answer. He clears his throat.
"Maybe", he chuckles in return which makes me chuckle even more.
"How did you know?" His curiosity swallows him whole.
"I kind of figured. I sensed that you were blushing or something", I bite my lip.
"You have good senses", Hyun-ki acknowledges my abilities.
"You know part of the senses is...touch", I joke and Ki starts laughing so hard that I could hear him trying to catch his breath.
"What are you trying to say?" He questions even though he already knew the answer.
"I think you know Mr. Perfect", I wiggle my eyebrows.
"Hahaha. I have to admit. I miss the smell of you", he states into the phone and I start to feel sweaty.
"Hahahahaha. You smelling me now? Not creepy at all", I act like I'm creeped out when I'm actually flattered.
"Well you smell good", he forces out the words attempting not to laugh, but I could also sense he was trying not to.
"And I'm creepy? You want to touch me", he points out and I start fanning my face.
"Uuuuum.....well....that's not.....", I start to refute the true statement.
"Are you sweating hon?" He asks and I become frozen.
"What? No. Of course n-...yes", I tell the truth, and smack my palm on my forehead.
"How did you know? You got super powers?" I slowly run my hand through my hair.
"I can also turn on my charm", he playfully messes with my head.
"Oh trust me I know", I smile brightly.
"So are you...charmed?" He asks in a flirty way.
"Yes. Very", I show sarcasm. He cackles in response, because he can tell I am being sarcastic. It's hard to get by Hyun-ki. He notices things. That's probably one of the reasons why he's such a good leader of BSM.
"Hyun-ki I have to hang up. I'm sorry. I have to go to class right now", I really regret having to hang up on him.
"It's okay don't apologize, I understand. I'll see you soon", he says goodbye then hangs up.
Geez this guy is too perfect. It's actually a talent.
I take a seat next to Kallie, as always. The school bell rings, and everyone is waiting patiently. The next thing you know, there are people screaming and panicking in the hallways. Just then, our professor, Mr. Moon, enters the classroom.
"Relax everyone. There is a special person arriving to give you all a lecture. Treat him with respect, and give your full attention", Mr. Moon announces with a serious tone. We all nod our heads and look at each other wondering who it could be.
I put my nose in my book, and read silently in my head until the special person arrived.
"Who do you think it is MaeMae?" Kallie asks while playing with the corner of her notebook. She seems anxious, or maybe I'm reading her wrong.
4 minutes later, everyone gasps. But, I don't look up to see who it is. My eyes remain on the book, and I tug my long magenta hair behind my ear. Kallie nudges me.
"Why are you elbowing me?" I have an offended expression.
"Look", she whispers while subtly motioning her head to the front of the classroom.
Everyone starts winking at me, and giving me sly facial expressions.
Oh my goodness! He is not seriously here right now. I'm gonna lose my head.
"MaeMae's boyfriend is here!" my annoying peer, Kai, yells for no reason at all.
I throw Kai the face of death in response. He makes hand gestures as to say, "I'm sorry". I roll my eyes, and place my attention back on the tall, handsome man at the front of the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kim Hyun-ki", my man....I mean close friend greets while waving then bowing his head.
"Hello", everyone greets him in return as they bow their heads.
I notice Kallie having a sneaky smile on her face. I knew exactly why.
"Oh, stop looking at me like that", I lightly push her, and she tries to hide her laughter.
"I came in today to give you guys some motivation, and to talk about what the future holds for you", Hyun-ki summarizes his purpose for being at MY SCHOOL.
I kept making eye contact with him, and everytime we did....I looked away before I died of a heart attack.
"When you are determined to do something, you should go after it no matter what. Don't stop to wonder, WHAT IF. Whether it's getting a job, traveling to explore new places, having a relationship....or as simple as caring for a dog, do it. Life is about what makes you happy. Just understand that it won't be easy, there will be obstacles, and often those obstacles are a sign to keep trying. Work hard at whatever you decide to do with your life, and never give up." Most of the time, his eyes were on me. I know he was trying to tell all of us something, but specifically me.
The lecture consumed about an hour and a half of our class time.
10 hours later, it was the end of the school day and everyone headed home. It's funny how everyone leaves at the same time, though we're all going different places.
On the way out of the school, I bump into someone and they pull me aside to the dark part of the walkway. The person has his arms wrapped around me. I wanted to elbow them in the stomach, but I realized something. It was a strong, towering man with soft hands and an oddly familiar heartbeat. I sensed....
"Hyun-ki?" I turn around to face the man.
"Yeah", he stills has his arms enclosed around me with a bright smile. His face looks so smooth, and lights up my heart. Okay. I'm getting really cheesy now. What is wrong with me? He lights up my heart? Words I thought I'd never say about an actual person I've met.
"Why did you pull me like that?" I lowkey wanted to smack and kiss him at the same time. Talk about bipolar issues.
"I'm sorry", he releases me from his grip and apologizes.
"It's okay. I'm just glad it was you, and not some creep", I lightly giggle and smooth out my shirt.
"Me too. I just wanted to check on you", he sounds like a protective boyfriend.
"Aaaaaawweee", I poke his belly and display an innocent facial expression.
He puts his hands on his hips, and shakes his head with a grin on his face.
"Come on", I grab his hand but he remains stable.
"Where are we going?" He questions with a confused face.
"To my place, in my car, right now", I explain, and pull him along then he finally follows me without force.
"How did you react when you saw me in your class?" He raises an eyebrow.
"I was completely unaware at first, but then my best friend Kallie nudged me and I looked up. Then that's when I was shocked. Happy to see you? Yes, but shocked", I grin from ear to ear.
Hyun-ki smiles to himself, and we continue to head to where Wenowa was.
We arrive at the parking place of Wenowa (my blue Dodge Challenger, if you forgot I also call her Blue Jean). I unlock her.
"You have a nice car by the way. Have I told you that already? I feel like I told you that already", Hyun-ki says as he gets in.
"Thanks, and no I don't think you have", I get in and start the car up.
"Oh wait. Won't you be leaving your car here?" I question a little disappointed.
"No, I used a taxi, because the lecture was last minute. They asked me to come in two hours before I got there, and Jun-seo & Yong-sun already have the car", he provides an explanation.
"Mhhmmm", I give the "yeah right I don't believe it" face as I pull out of the parking space, and onto the road.
"Mhhmmm what?" He turns his face towards me, but I have my eyes on the road.
"I think you took a taxi, because you knew that I went here, and you figured that if you ran into me....you'd wanna come home with me", I glance at him once.
"That sounded so wrong", I start chuckling to my own words.
"That's what I was thinking", he started chuckling with me.
"This is one of the reasons why I like being with you", I comment while trying to ignore my blushing.
"Why?" Hyun-ki leans on the ledge of the car window and turns his head towards me.
"Because you make me laugh", I reason as if it's obvious.
"You make me laugh too", Hyun-ki squeezes my leg, then stares outside the window.
"What are you thinking about?" I nudge his arm in curiosity.
"To be honest....I wanna tell everyone that I like you, but I don't want any problems for us", Hyun-ki truthfully spills his thoughts.
"Hyun-ki, every relationship has its downsides. But, that doesn't mean you need to refrain from having one or telling people. I think we can work this out. However, I support your decision whatever you decide to do or not to do", I smirk so that my dimples show.
"Aigoo! Why do you have to be so understanding? It's not human!" He complains hitting the back of the seat, which makes me burst into laughter.
"Also, I'm just now realizing that you have dimples. They're not too visible, but you can tell that they're there", he pinches my right cheek.
"Aah yeah? What about your dimples? Huh?" I pinch his left cheek, and we start chuckling like little kids.
15 seconds later, my eyes return to the road.
I think my heart's at the edge of the cliff with this guy, or have I already fallen off?
