It took 10 minutes but I feel like I spent 1 hour. Finally she came with two bags full of food.
"Ruth I thought you still in lab, I asked your mates before leaving.they said its gonna be late."
" Yeah, it's been a while, let me help you." I tried to get those bags from her hand,but its too heavy. At the same time, the boy who came there said, "Wait, I will get it" smiled again and took it away.
" Really, what a surprise", Emi came to me while shouting. " Now I understand why you were standing here when I came. Did he say anything to you? " She asked trying to provoke me.
"Not really, I was like that because I didn't know who he was. Anyway tell me now who is he?" I said angrily.
She just raised an eyebrow and laughed.
So your'e not gonna tell me right..then I have to think " Is there a chance he could be your boyfriend ? " saying that I start to run away from her cause before I could finish saying that she jumped on me.
" Oooi he is my brother, how do you even think that I have a boyfriend.Im gonna kill you"before she could catch me, I ran out of the house and ran to my house.
" Then that's emi's brother." I smiled. I finished my studies and make the bed to sleep. At the same time, I heard Emi screaming and banging on the door. I got scared and ran and opened the door.
When I opened the door, Emi was standing there with a pillow and her eyes closed. As soon as the door opened, she pushed me aside and entered the house. "What is this, are you walking in a dream?" I closed the door and followed her.
She went straight to bed and collapsed. "Hey, are you sleeping?" I asked her as she tossed her arms back and forth.
"let me sleep"
She is very sleepy. Now whatever I ask her, that's all she says.
Today is a holiday, but there is no shortage of work to be done. Today is my cleaning day. Even though I don't have time to clean every day, I have reserved one day a week for it.
Anyway, today seems like a good day. Because I woke up early this morning.Looking at the time,its 5 am and colder than usual.Emi is still sleeping. I try to woke her up cuple of times. Then she picked up the pillow again, turned her half-closed eyes towards me and asked, "Morning, what time is it?"
It's almost 6 already. As soon as she heard, she got out of bed and started running towards the door. Whats going on her mind? She is like a rabbit I thought. small smile appears on my face.
I don't have a part-time job, so I'm at home all day. I feel like going for a walk with my friends.
I didn't eat last night, so it's okay to eat now. I went to the kitchen and looked for something to eat.I usually prepare the meals for the whole week on Sunday.It's not a question of laziness, but we consider it a waste to allocate 1-1.30 hours a day for it cause as a college students we have tight schedule. And also we have to do part time.
After breakfast I started studying.
After some time I heard someone knocking on the door so I went towards it.
" Aren't you ready yet? Are you thinking of leaving today and coming home again? Go and get ready quickly" she said hurriedly.
That means she got her job back.But I feel like i don't want to go to that job again.
" Ummm I think I should try another job." I said while looking down.
"Oh not again.get ride of your ego,Ruth otherwise how do you get a job besides,who likes such arrogant doctors?" She said while looking at me.
" Hey It's not like that. I don't feel to go there again. Anyways, congrats on getting the job again."saying that i hugged her.
"You are such a arrogant person.okay What are you planning to do today?"She said while escaping from me and moving towards the door.
"There is no plan.will see.."
"Then I'm leaving " she said and walked away from there.
Now the darkness is gone and the sun is shining. I studied for a while and started cleaning the house.I don't have to clean so much cause I am used to putting things back in their places after using.so the house doesn't get too messy. But there is plenty of laundry to do.
I remembered the opportunity given by mr.kim.so i was able to join the club on Monday.Then someone knocked on the door. I left the pile of clothes on the chair and opened the door thinking who would be coming at this time.
When the door opened, Emmi's brother was there with a jar.
"Hey Ruth, I couldn't even talk properly yesterday. bytheway I'm cross. Emi's brother," he said while shaking hands.
" Oh come in, " i said while stepping back. He followed me with his flirty smile.I was shocked to see the pile of laundry on the chair. I quickly took them and went to the bedroom. Hope he doesn't see anything.
When I came back I saw him preparing the food plates. "I prepared the food. Emmi said that you are also home alone, so I brought it here." "See if it's taste good."
"But I had breakfast early."
" That's not matter. I made it myself and it's my first time so.." He said with a frown.
I smiled and sit there.He keep looking at me while eating I feel bit awkward.so I started to talk with him.
"Cross right ,what are you doing these days? Study or a job? "
He knows I was a little nervous. So he started laughing again. "Don't worry. I won't swallow you" "even if I wanted to."He said slowly.
I looked at him in surprise " What you mean? "
" No no I mean I am also a medical student in your college. new admission, We can work together in the future as a mates"
"Really ! nice to hear that" I said while tring to smile.
"My sister always talks about you" He looked down and smiled.
"She didn't tell me about you before, but she always talks about your sister."I replied. He just laugh and looking at me when I speak.
We had a friendly conversation while eating. He doesn't know anyone here. That's why I thought to introduce him to my friends.
" Cross , I'm going out with friends in a little while. You can also come if you like. I mean you just got here and you can make new friends."
"Of course,It's better than staying at home all day" He said while cleaning dishes.
After he left I started cleaning the house.He is very strange but I feel comfortable around him just like my friends around me.He always smiling alone. The thick eyebrows on his face make him look scary sometimes.
Shit, I forgot to talk to my friends for a today meetup.I find the phone and try to contact them.I said earlier that I don't have many friends, but I have a few loyal ones. We are a group of five.(three boys with two girls)
From there, the short tempered one is Danny, the book addicted one is Ben but not the educational ones, the one who always trying to flirt with girls is Romy. Sam is beautiful and cute, the other one is me.
We are in same faculty and it hasn't been that long since we met.
That is not the problem now.
What if they won't like me bringing someone else there. but i already told to Cross join with us.
It's better to talk about it when I get there.
After few hours my phone started ringing.
"Ruth, I'm on my way, Danny and Ben will come to the place we talked about. Romy and I will come to your place" she said.
" Okay..I was about to get ready "I got up from the study table.
" Hurry up. You know when Danny gets angry and listen I called romy he didn't pickup my calls, Try to contact him okay " She hung up the phone.
I started to dress up. It only took me 5 minutes to get ready. I usually wear casual. After that I came out of my house and went to emi's house to see if Cross would come.
He is ready. When I go there, he locks the door. "so let's go" I said as I approached him.He smile at me and started walk with me.When we came out, I saw romi and sam fighting with each other.
" Don't play your silly pranks with me.I said it before"
" Who's kidding to you? I didn't see who came."Romi is always like that. He makes fun of everyone like emmi.
" Guys don't act like kids. meet our new friend cross, emmi's brother, he is going to join our faculty too." I introduced him.
"Hello nice to meet you..I think we should go now its already 3.30 pm." Romy said while shaking hands.
We all laughed and left there.
When we got there, only Ben was there. "Where's Danny, hasn't he come yet?"
A little while ago he said he was on his way to here. " by the way who is this new guy." Ben said with a friendly smile towards Cross.
" I will introduce," Romy said.
At the same time Danny arrived and his gaze finally stopped at Cross.
We smiled at Danny and looked at Romy again.
Then Romy spoke, "This is Emmi's brother Cross, He is also going to join our faculty "
" Thats good..So Im Ben and this is Danny we all in the same year then Welcome to our family Cross" Ben said while smiling.
" Tell us more about yourself " Everyone started talking.
Danny didn't seem to mind. He sat there and said "order something to eat".
Our meetup started like that.But In the end, we had to take drunken friends to home. Fortunately, Ben and Sam are here. I don't know what to do otherwise.
However ,We were able to send them home soon.
Ben went to his place with the cross.cause we can't explain to Emi.
Luckily we haven't met her. She must be looking for cross.Its fine Ben will inform about it later.
Finally sam left. After refreshing, I jumped into bed. Today we enjoyed a lot, went to Sam and Romy's primary school and also went to the karaoke bar.That was fun but unfortunately we dont have to time enjoy like this everyday.
I was very tired after walking till night. But there is still a lot of work to be done. I got up from the bed and came near the book table.
