Chereads / IT'S OKAY / Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 19

Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 19

Normally, I love my ringtone, but right now, it's making me want to smash my phone against the wall

I groaned as I turned on my bed, pulling the covers over my head, but that didn't stop the sound from infiltrating my ears. The tone stopped, but before I could relax against my bed, it started again

I couldn't take it anymore. I yanked the covers from my body, and grabbed the phone. I accepted the call not bothering to even look at the caller's ID

"What?!!" I shouted

"Is this how you always are in the morning?" a familiar voice asked back

With scrunched eyebrows, I looked at the ID

"Ji Sung?"

"That's my name" he replied

"Do you have a death wish early in the morning? Why are you calling me at this time?"

"It's past ten" he said

"On a Saturday" I retorted

"That's why we also get Sundays. I'll be at your house in about forty five minutes or so. That should give you enough time to get ready" he said

"Mow?" what?

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"What?"

"That's we're meeting today"

"You said you we going to see me" I corrected

"Same meaning. Anyways, get ready. See ya" he said and hung up, not giving me a chance to say anything

That rude punk

"As if I'm just going to do what you say. Watch and see" I spoke into the phone

I laid back down and covered up till my head, but it wasn't even up to a minutes before I sat back up

"Aish! Jinjja" seriously

"You just wait until I see you, I'm going to skin you alive" I said getting put of bed

I was forced out of bed to the outing, so I just wore a black high waisted pants with a grey hoodie. I did my hair into a messy ponytail, so I could be able to cover my head with the hoodie easily

As I was descending the stairs, the bell rang. I looked at my watch

Is it already time?

There was no pint looking at the watch though, I didn't time myself

"I'll get it" I announced

I opened the door to find a smiling Ji Sung waving at me. I sent a noticeable fake smile back at him, ignoring to slam the door at his face

"Annyeong" hi he greeted

"Annyeong" hi I greeted back, increasing my fake smile

"Your smile is one of a kind" he noted

"And you just happen to bring it out, every time"

"I'm honored. Aren't you going to let me in?" he asked

Just then,

"Who's that?" my mom asked, making me swallow back the words I was going to say

"Just someone" I replied

Ji Sung looked past me, and smiled to the person behind me

"Annyeonghaseyo" hello he greeted, gently pushing me to the side, so he could pass

I heard footsteps approaching

"Nugu seyo?" who are you? she asked

"Ji Sung imnida, Soo Joon-an chingu" I'm Ji Sung, Soo Joon's friend he replied with a bow

My mom's eyes lit up. She looked up at me, I rolled my eyes

"Chingu?" friend? she asked

"Ani" no

"Yes" we replied at the same time

"That's good to hear" my mom said, her smile still intact

She was definitely talking to Ji Sung, while ignoring what I said

Before anyone else could say anything, I butt in

"Wait in the car. I'll just grab something to eat, then be there shortly" I said

"Why should it wait in the cold car? When it's warm here?"

"It's not a cold car, mom, This is still spring"

"With signs of winter"

"Actually..." Ji Sung started

We looked at him

"We are grabbing a bite out" he said

I rose my eyebrows

"I just came to pick you up"

I waited for a while before I shrugged

"Works for me" I said

"Bye mom"

I turned to Ji Sung

"Let's go"

"Nice to meet you. See you next time" he said with a slight bow

"Same here. Take care of her for me"

I scoffed

"I'm not a child" I said

"That you are. Around what time will you be back?" she asked

"Very early" I answered as we both exited the house

I buckled myself in and waited for him to do the same. As soon as he was done, I punched him in his shoulder

"Ow! Mwo? Michyeoss-eo?" what? are you crazy? he asked, rubbing the spot

"'I'll be in your house in about forty five minutes, or so'? You should be grateful I'm not skinning you alive. How could you tell me to get ready, from just waking up, in just forty five minutes?" I responded

"Geulaeseo? You got ready just in time. What's the problem then?" so? he asked

"Molla! Geunyang jjajeungna. I feel as if I am being dragged around" I don't know. it's just annoying I confessed

He signed while tsk-ing, then chuckled

"I'm way too lazy to drag you around, so, don't worry" he said

I gave him a what-are-you-saying look before chuckling

"Geunyang unjeon" just drive I said

When no movement happened, I turned back to him to see him still looking at me

"Wae?" why?

"Ani" nothing he answered, still looking at me

"Then why are you looking at me?"

"Geunyang" just because

His smile turned to a laughter, and I followed

"Gaj-a" let's go he said, driving out

"Where are we going?" I asked

"You'll see"

"Okayyyy" I said

^^^^^

"A restaurant" I noted

"A Korean restaurant" he corrected

"We're eating breakfast here?" I asked

"Yup. That's kind of the only reason we'll be here" he said

"Oh, is that true. I thought it was to..."

"Let's go" he said, cutting me short

I glared at him as he led me inside

He led us to a table by the window

"Ahjumma" aunt Ji Sung called with a smile

I followed his line of concentration and saw a middle aged woman

She smiled when she saw Ji Sung

"Sung?" she called

"Omo! Neoya" oh my gosh! it's you

She hugged his sitting form

"Why are you just coming?" she asked

"Biane" sorry he apologized sheepishly

"Gwaechanh-a. You're here" it's okay

She then looked at me

"Yeoja chingu?" girlfriend? she asked

"Ani" no I immediately denied it

"Choi Soo Joon imnida. Geuui chingu" I'm Choi Soo Joon. his friend I said

She smiled

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Ja, but you can just call me Ahjumma" she said

"Ne, bangawayo. Ahjumma" yes, it's nice to meet you. aunt I said

She turned back to Ji Sung

"The breakfast set?" she asked

He smiled

"I'll be right back" she said and excused us

"I've been here several times"

"I noticed"

He smiled

"Geuleonde" by the way he started

I looked up at him

"What was that?"

"Mwo?" what? I asked him

"That sharp denial"

I went back to what I was doing

"I think I'm pretty much a boyfriend material"

"Ya" hey I called, looking back up

"Dagchyeo" shut up I said

He shrugged, then went back to his phone

I watched him for some seconds, before I went back to mine with a smile
