Hey Girl: 09

Chap 9 (when everything makes sense)

The next morning I woke up from my beauty sleep. Actually no, I practically jerked up from bed because my alarm went off at 7 sharp - I thought I was late for school. But then later I found out that it was a weekend and that I am free from school stress for the day. Thus, I decided to continue sleeping for another hour. Putting my head back on my fluffy pillow, I started to toss and turn. The conversation I had with oppa replayed in my head.

“I seriously love her and she didn’t even know it,” those were his last words after slowly letting everything out, which marks the ending of our conversation last night.

‘So who is Andee? How does she look like?’ the curious me thought.

I turned to my left then to my right. I couldn’t stand the restlessness; I sat up straight on the bed staring at my laptop screen on my study table.

“Yah! Jiyul-ah are you awake yet?” Jaejoong oppa’s voice was heard after he knocked twice on my bedroom door.

“Neh. What is it oppa?”

“I’m making breakfast. Let’s eat together. Palli, come down.”

“Neh. Arraseo. Give me 10 minutes.” With that reply, I dashed all the way to my bathroom.

Back in Chungnam, I never actually bothered freshening up before heading for breakfast. But it’s different here, especially living with oppa’s friends. I have to portray a good impression. Ahhh! The pressure. Tell me about it. I put on my sweatpants and a random tee. Then tied up my hair neatly.

Making my way down the stairs, I saw Yoochun sunbae scribbling in his black notebook with toast and jet black coffee in front of him, Yunho sunbae reading the papers with a NEW mug filled with juice and Jaejoong oppa serving scramble eggs that he just cooked on a fresh new plate, I suppose was meant was me.

“Here you go.” Oppa handed me the plate with scramble eggs and toast.

Before I could even put my heavy butt in the seat, a hand stretched right into my face.

“Yah! Can’t you go stretch somewhere else?” I aggressively pushed Yunho sunbae’s hand away from my face.

But he did it again, “10 bucks! Where is it?” His eyes still focused on his papers.

‘Gosh! Will he just stop it? It’s just a stupid mug which I can get for 2 bucks at the departmental store. Bugger!’ I thought to myself.

“later!” I answered him short but still unable to take my seat.

“You better pay up now!” His hands moved nearer to my face.

Feeling vexed, I hit the papers in his hand and ran upstairs to get the money, mumbling away under my breath.

‘Stupid mug. Stupid Yunho. Gentleman, my ass. Stupid girls for going crazy over a stuck up jerk. Pest.’

With the 10 dollars in my hand I slammed it onto the table, “Here! Those girls in school must be stupid to go crazy over you.”

Jaejoong oppa and Yoochun sunbae was giving me the ‘oh-you-did-not-just-said-that’ look. But I don’t care. I was frustrated. He just ruined my day by messing with my emotions.

“Oh oppa, I’m not hungry. I’m going out for a run now.” I said as I drank my glass of milk and made my way out of the house. I could not stand looking at yunho’s face the next minute. I needed to get out of there.

I jogged my way down the street, thinking to myself.

Omo! I just said those girls were stupid for going crazy over him. Among those girls, I’m one of them. That means I’m stupid just like them. Ok this is seriously bad.

I breathed hard.

I am not stupid. I was just deceived by his charming looks, that’s all. Of all the good-looking man in the world that includes Oppa and Yoochun sunbae, his personality stinks like the sewer down the road.

I breathed in hard again. Then, I slowed down when I saw a familiar face near the park.

“Maya-shi! What are you doing here?”

“Hey, Jiyul! Fancy meeting you. I had just finished my run. What are you doing here?”

“Running. Heh. Wanna grab something to drink?”

“Hee. Its funny how I keep getting in your way when you’re running. Sure, Let’s go.”

We stopped at a nearby store and bought our drinks.

“So, you live nearby?” I asked.

“Neh. About 2 km away I think.”

“You mean you ran all the way? Great stamina you got there.” She was flustered.

“It was nothing. I used to run everyday in London.” I nodded my head acknowledging her.

Just then my phone rang,

“Yobuseyo.”

“YAH! Where are you?” Jaejoong oppa was on the other line.

“Jiyul-ah! Gwenchanha?” Yoochun sunbae’s voice came. He must have taken the phone from oppa.

“Yah! Give it back!” I heard Jaejoong oppa’s voice. I guess they were playing tug-o-war with the phone.

“Oppa! I’m not a small girl anymore. I know how to take care of myself. Don’t worry about me. ”

“Jiyul-ah.”

“I’ll be back in an hour.” With that I hung up the phone.

“Your brother? Did anything happen at home?”

“Neh. Ani. Just a little problem. Nothing too serious. Sorry about that.”

Maya smiled. Seriously, she had the sweetest smile. Her hair was cut short with straight neat bangs covering her forehead. She was wearing a cute tee, black track pants and running shoes. I noticed that she has this natural glow in her.

“Lets have a sit there and we can talk till we get tired.” I suggested.

We were having a real conversation. Yes, I was really making a conversation with a new friend. Oh boy, do I felt elated. This is like my first time making a real friend. Forget about Junsu and Changmin. I don’t even think they considered me as their friend. After talking for about a quarter to an hour, I saw 3 figures running towards our direction. There were 2 males and a female.

'Speak of the devil.' I thought. I straightaway stood up and waved my hands to them

“Annyeong Junsu-shi, Changmin-shi.” I greeted them and then smiled at the girl running with them.

“Oh Jiyul-shi. Annyeong.” They stopped in their tracks and greeted me back. The girl running with them doesn’t look that happy.

“Oh yes. This is Maya, my friend.” I introduced her.

“And this is my Nuna, Andee.” Junsu replied.

Andee hit his arm, ‘What did I say about calling me Nuna?’ she whispered to him.

‘Andee? Ok that name just ring a bell.’

“Annyeong haseyo Andee-shi” both Maya and me greeted her in unison.

She acknowledged us by nodding her head.

“I guess, we’ll make our way first. See you around in school.” Junsu said and they quickly ran off.

I was too focused on Andee that I didn’t notice someone close-by staring at the running figure without even blinking for a second.

'was that the Andee that oppa mentioned last night?'




A/N: Yay! Another update. Why? Because mum promised that I could use the cable but broke the promise in the end cause she was seriously engrossed in the online game she was playing. Howells! Another update doesn’t hurt right? Listening to TVXQ – Beautiful You on repeat was even better. It helped soothes my emotions. For this chapter, I wrote it out of scratch. So it kinda looks limpy and sounds lame. I apologize for that. Oh yes, if you dislike stories with dialogues please acknowledge me cause I seriously want to constantly improve myself. Then, I can promise to write a better chap next time round. Okthanksbye.

Hey Girl: 08

Chap 8 (the date, the friend.)

“Chagia!” he called out as soon as he saw her sitting alone at the corner of the cafeteria.

Her favourite drink; green tea was still left untouched on the table. He knew she had been there for quite a while as he observed the condensed water droplets dripping at the sides of her glass. The most significant thing was; that wasn’t her true self.

He knew she was still upset over the incident earlier. Lately, she would just stare into space and ignore everyone else’s presence. He missed her, his jovial and bubbly girlfriend. It seriously bothered him, for he knew he was the one to be blamed for all this.

“Yah. Yoorim-ah.” he touched her right arm lightly to get her attention and sat down next to her.

“Neh?” she turned. “Oh, oppa. When did you get here?” she added.

“I miss you.”

She smiled. She knew she wasn’t being herself lately. She knew she hadn’t been there for him when he needed her, ever since that incident. Most important of all, she knew he wasn't the one to be blamed.

“I miss you too.” She answered truthfully, pinching his puffy cheeks and ending it with a light peck.

“Let’s skip last period.” He said short, pulling her lightly out of the cafeteria.

“Why?” she asked, astonished.

“Just felt like it,” he smiled, taking her to his BMW Mini Cooper.

Out of the school compound, he drove for another hour and finally reached their favourite ice cream parlour.

“2 chocolate ice cream sundae and 2 glasses of iced water, please.” He told the waiter as soon as they found a place to sit.

“Ok. Why are we skipping class? It’s not like us to be skipping classes. Oppa, wae?”

“Just because...”

“Oppa?” she asked again.

“Araseo. Araseo. I just want to spend some time with you. That’s all.”

She sighed and shooked her head, “Alright, if you say so.”

The ice cream and iced water came.

“Yoorim-ah. About that day, Jaejoong hyung shouldn’t…”

“Lets not talk about that, ok”

“Yoorim –ah. Do you still love me?”

“Neh. Why the sudden question?”

“Nah. I was just curious.” He said and giving her, a flirtatious wink which made her stucked out her tongue at him.

I promise you that incident will not happen again. I don’t ever want to see you sad.

Just like he had said earlier, they certainly spent some quality time together at the ice cream parlour.

[Meanwhile in school]

I was standing outside my locker, keeping those things I didn’t need and taking those notes that I have to study later at home, dumping them into my bag.

“Yah!” someone shouted. I ignored the voice.

“Yah! You in that ugly pink top!” I turned at the mention of the colour pink.

There stood Yunho, about 3 metres away from me. I broke into cold sweat immediately as he walked closer. My face stayed parallel to the ground.

I looked up to find his body only inches away from mine. I didn’t expect him to be that tall. I froze for a second. Everyone else was looking at our direction. I mean, why wouldn’t they when one of the most popular guys was standing only inches away from me.

God, why do I have to face this? I’m sure going to get bashed up later.

“So where’s my 10 bucks?”

‘Ah sheesh, that stupid mug.’

“I don’t have it with me right now.”

“What do you mean you don’t have it with you right now? You owe me 10 bucks, so pay up! Now!”

“I… I...” Not knowing what to do, I ran all the way to the girl’s room as fast as I could. Ok fine I know, that was a super wrong move. But what was I to do?

“Does he have to embarrass me in front of everyone like that? Can’t he wait till I’m home before he can harass me with the money? What a jerk!” I said in between pants.

“Yah. Whom are you talking to?” A girl about my height came out of the cubicle asked.

“No one. No one, in particular.” Splashing tap water on face and retying my hair back.

“Oh, alright.” She smiled as she washed he hands, then to the dryer to dry them.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Maya.” She held out her right hand for a handshake. She smiled again.

“Oh. Annyeong. I’m Jiyul. Nice to meet you too, Maya-shi.” I can’t help but noticed she had the sweetest smile. I smiled back.

“Were you out, running? It must have been a long run then? You were panting like crazy.”

I just smiled. I couldn’t tell her that I broke Yunho’s favorite mug which will led me into telling her that I’m living with 3 of the most popular sunbaes from school too. I cannot afford to make another person hate me. I had enough of Jaejoong oppa’s crazy ‘fans’. Besides, she looks very nice and pleasant.

We both made our way out of the girl’s room.

“Are you a student here?” She asked.

“Uhuh. First Year, Music major.”

“Hey! Me too. We’re course mates then.”

“Serious? How come I’ve never seen you before?”

“Oh! I just reached Seoul yesterday from London.”

“Woah! London? ”

“Yea, My dad had to work there for a year so the whole family was asked to follow.”

“I see. Oh! Oppa is here already. I guess we’ll bump into each other again tomorrow. Annyeong Kiseyo, Maya-shi” I said as soon as I saw my brother leaning on his car, waiting.

“Oh! Ok. Annyeong Kiseyo.” We bade each other goodbye.

I skipped all the way to oppa’s car.

“You look happy?”

Come to think of it, i had totally forgotten that i was running away from Yunho sunbae previously. lol.

“Neh. I made a new friend today.”

“Really? Who?”

“Maya. I met her in the girl’s room. She’s taking the same course as I am.”

“Good for you.”

[On the way back home]

“Err. Oppa…”

“Hmm. What is it, Jiyul?”

“I’ve been wanting to ask…”

“Neh…”

I looked at his already healthy hand, which was bandaged before, and sighed,

“Is everything alright? I saw Yoochun sunbae’s girlfriend running out of the room crying the other day. What happened oppa?”

The more you keep it to yourself, the more she’ll get curious. She’ll find out sooner or later anyways. If not from you, it could be from Yoochun or even Yunho. Besides she’s your sister, she does have the right to know about her own brother’s problems, right? You wouldn’t want her to fall sick worrying.

He knew he had to say something.

“(Long silent) It’s a long story.”

“And I am very willing to listen to each and every detail of it. Please, tell me oppa.”

He made a left turn at the junction and pullover.

“Alright, dinner first before we talk. Ok?” I smiled.

This time, i wish he would smile like he always used to. Who knows i could lessen the worries he had in his mind? Who knows all it needs was a listening ear to cure his pain?

Jaejoong oppa, i miss you. the old you. seriously.

Hey Girl: 07

Chap 7 (Jaejoong’s Love Story)

[At home, in the living room.]

“What! You kissed her? Did you get slapped in the end?”

“Fat hope, Yunho. Damn, I’m losing my senses. I cannot take this anymore. What does Yoochun have that I don’t? Why must she fall for him and not me?”

The front door opened and came in, Yoochun. Alone.

“I don’t know. I’m going to the kitchen to get some drinks. You and Yoochun better sit down and talk.” His eyes signaled to Yoochun, hoping those two friends could work things out.

Yunho disappeared into the kitchen. Yoochun took the seat next to Jaejoong. The room became silent for a moment.

“Hyung. Is your hand alright?” Yoochun tried to start a conversation to break the cold atmosphere.

“She still loves you.” Jaejoong said faintly looking down, fidgeting the cushion on his lap.

“Hyung. About that…”

“She hates me. She seriously hates me. What the heck is wrong with me? Am I not good enough for her? What do you have that I don’t?” Jaejoong got a little too carried away and pulled Yoochun’s collar. Lucky for them, Yunho got back into the living room just in time to stop the fight from happening.

“Gosh! Get a grip you both!” Yunho pushed them down to their seats respectively.

“What is it with you guys? How can a girl get in between you two?” Both guys can only afford to look down on the ground.

*Flashback (Jaejoong’s POV unless otherwise stated)

It all started during last year’s annual welcoming event. I was in my second year thus I wasn’t involved at that time. I was walking across the hallway to the auditorium. A group of freshmen was making their way to the auditorium as well. Among all, this particular girl caught my attention.

“She’s beautiful.” I said under my breath.

“Who!?” Yunho and Yoochun asked looking at me. Yunho and Yoochun are my best friends since first year. Don’t ask how I get to know them, I just did.

They turned to look at the girl I was referring to. She was wearing an all black knee-length dress. Her make-up was light but with thick, dark eyeliner emphasizing her big round eyes. Her long straight hair was left as it is without any accessories.

“Yah! You guys don’t have to shout like that.” I looked back at her. Fortunately, she wasn’t looking. I heaved a sigh of relief.

“Go talk to her. Ask for her name.” Yunho suggested.

“Yeah.” Yoochun supported him.

“Fancy hearing that from a chauvinist like you, Yunho. You have never shown any interest in these things before. You’ve turned down every girl that comes by. About her, I have my ways so none of you should take any chances, all right. ” I told them.

“Not a problem with me.” Yunho said nonchalantly.

“Sure, she’s not my type too.” Yoochun replied.

[A month later]

I saw her walking into the cafeteria. She smiled looking over at my table. Yunho, who was sitting beside me, raised his right hand to greet her.

“You still haven’t talk to her yet? I thought you said you had your ways. It’s been a month bro; you still haven’t made your move.” Yunho said.

“Shut Up! It’s only a month.” I got irritated.

“Come on Jaejoong. I was just asking. Why do I have this feeling that it’s me who’s getting to know her instead of you?” Yunho said.

It was true. It was easy for him to say. She majored in dance just like him. They always see each other around. As for me, I majored in music. I sing. I don’t dance. I’m nowhere close to her.

“Anyway Yunho, what is she like as a hoobae?” Yoochun, who was sitting beside Yunho, was curious.

“Hmm, Andee, ey. She dances pretty well. She respects us sunbaes. She’s nice.” Yunho kept on babbling.

Listening to him, I felt a tinge of jealousy in me.

[5 months went by]

I still did not have the courage to talk to her. I didn’t think I stood a chance.

Fortunate for me, I kept seeing her lurking around the piano rooms, in search of someone. I thought my chance was finally here to actually start a conversation with her. For all I know, she could be interested in me.

One day, I saw her peeping into one of the occupied piano room. She was attentively listening to someone playing the piano. That someone, I knew so well, wasn’t me. As soon as she saw me looking, she ran away. At that point of time, I knew she likes someone else. My heart was broken and she didn’t even know it.

[3 months after that]

Trying to heal my broken heart, I found solace hiding myself at the rooftop of the school. With the warm breeze blowing through my face, I felt the empty heart slowly being filled little by little. Not until, I saw someone crying. I walked closer. And to my surprise I saw her.

“Are you ok, Andee-shi?” I asked. She looked at me with tears still rolling down her cheeks. I panicked. The person I truly love was crying and I can’t do anything about it. I waited for her cries to quieten down.

“How did you know my name? Who are you? ” She asked me in between sobs. My heart shattered. With that statement, I knew I had never existed in her life.

“Kim Jaejoong. I’m Yunho’s friend.” I answered her despite feeling depress. She continued crying again.

“Don’t cry. What happened? Tell me, maybe I can help.”

“You can’t. No one can.” She sobbed.

“Try me.” I told her assuring.

Slowly, she lessened her cries and explained why she was crying. I got more depressed listening to her. I had already known that she liked my best friend, Yoochun. To find out that she was crying because Yoochun had a girlfriend was even devastating. I hated to see her in that state. I felt like beating Yoochun up for hurting her that way.

“There, there. Don’t cry.” I wiped her tears and took her in my arms calming her down. She didn’t retaliate. She rested her head on my chest. I rested my chin on her head. I never wanted that moment to end.

I felt something warm on my cheeks. Then, I realized I was tearing.

*End of flashback (End of Jaejoong’s POV)

The silent house made me feel uneasy. Walking down the stairs, I found three men in the living room, deep in thought having a conversation.

Wait a minute. Three? I know there’s Jaejoong oppa and Yoochun sunbae. Who’s the third guy? He must be oppa’s other housemate. Ah! Now is a good chance to see him in person. I’ve been in this house for a week and I haven’t seen him yet.

I creept really slowly and quietly as I passed by them into the kitchen to get myself a drink. With a mug in my hand, I found a spot to get a clear view of the third guy. Butter fingered, the mug slipped of my hand and fell to the ground creating a really loud shattering sound that echoed throughout the entire house. ok fine, how silly of me.

Three guys rushed into the kitchen. I had the surprised look plastered on my face. I must have looked like an idiot. This time wasn’t because of the shattered pieces of glass but it was because of the third guy I was hoping to meet. I broke into a cold sweat straightaway.

Yunho sunbae. He was, the super hot, Yunho sunbae. And we're living under the same roof. alright, i almost died there.

“Jiyul! What have you done?” Jaejoong said.

“Yah. Are you ok?” Yoochun asked. And, Yunho just stood there staring at me.

After a few moments, “That mug will cost you 10 dollars.”

He said and left.

“Ignore him. You aren’t hurt anywhere are you?” Yoochun asked pulling me away.

“Yah! You should have been careful. You broke his favorite mug. You’re lucky he doesn’t blow up on you.” Jaejoong said while picking up the broken pieces and throwing it in the bin.

Omo! What have I done?
