phone screen to Yongbae and Dae Sung. "She's still awake. Let's go hyun." I said to him, more happy now. He followed me, shaking his head. I didn't know why and I didn't really care.
We said goodbye to the others and headed to Yumi's dormitory. It wasn't so far away, we were in the same building after all. They still didn't have a boarding house for themselves so they had to stay in the YG bulding till the president had found one for them. We arrived at destination in less than five minutes. I knocked at the door and I heard her footstep coming towards us. When she opened the door I got surprised by the view, but the most surprised between us, has been Choi Seunghyun.
"OMG! What do you have on you face?" He asked her.
She had on those beauty mask for the skin care. It covered her entire face expect for her her beautiful green eyes and mouth. I've already saw her like that. Her mask was orange this time, that's why I was surprised. Weird. Anyway.. She glared at Choi Seunghyun. "As if you didn't know that it's beauty mask. It's good for your skin." She spat at him. He didn't replied. "Nobody followed you right?" She asked, glancing behind our backs. She hated the cameras as much as I did.
"Nobody." I said smiling at her.
She let us come in and she closed the door. Entering, I noticed that Yun Baek Ki and Kim Min Hae were nowhere to be found. Maybe they're already sleeping. Their shared room's door was closed, so I supposed that they were really sleeping. Anyway, following her in the dining room, I also noticed that she had nothing on but a simple pair of blue shorts and a grey sweatshirt upon them. The sight of her bare legs has been..more pleasant that I could admit. I shook my head and snatched my eyes away from her smooth legs. Lifting my eyes, I saw Yang Suk Ki. When she saw us, she greeted us, waving her left hand, because the other hand was holding her cellphone.
"Hey!" She just said and then returned to texting. To texting her boyfriend I supposed. She was sitting on the chair, with her bare legs leaning near her chest and the table. She had shorts on too. No, not shorts. I'd say boxer. I bet they're of her boyfriend's. The sight of her bare legs distracted me too. Damn it. I have to solve this legs's problem.
The dining table wasn't at its usual spot, but it was standing under the windows of the living room. Weird. When we sat down I asked them why they moved it there. Yumi answered, because the girl next to her was busy texting with her boyfriend. "Oh Well. There's a full moon and we wanted to watch it." She pointed her thumb towards the moon out of the window. I followed her thumb and I saw... A giant, beautiful and stunning full moon towering the building. White like milk, cold like the night.
"Wow. Beautiful. I've nothing else to say.." I exclaimed admiring it.
"You forgot to add amazing." Choi Seunghyun said to me. He stared at her too.
"Allora.."(So) Yumi started saying catching our attention back. "Why did you come here Oppa? Shouldn't you be already sleeping?" She asked while fixing her beauty mask.
"Look who's talking!" Choi Seunghyun said before I could open my mouth. "Why are you still awake?" He asked her, and he looked at both girls.
Yang Suk Ki proved that she was listening, even while she was texting. "I always text my Oppa at night." She said glancing briefly at us, then she returned to her texting.
"And you, miss?" I asked to Yumi. We knew each other for a year now, so it was natural to address to each other in a casual way. But I like calling her Miss.
"I couldn't sleep, so I asked Yang Suk Ki eoni to keep me company." She said, shrugging. "Now is your turn Oppa." She added looking at me.
"We were playing cards with Youngbae.." Choi Seunghyun started.
"And we kept losing. So we quit the game and decided to come here." I ended.
"To tell you the truth Yumi-chan.." Choi Seunghyun started saying, and suddenly he grabbed her hands. "I'm here because I missed you too much." He even made the shining eyes. That surprised everyone, Yang Suk Ki included. I knew that he was joking, because he did that every time he saw her. In the recording room, the corridors... everywhere.
Yumi looked at him and lifted her brows up with an annoyed expression. She was clearly tired of that scene. She took back her hands and she repeated the same sentence she always said when he acted that way. "How many times do I have to tell you Oppa, My heart belong only to Rain Oppa!" RAIN. The love of her life. Or should I say obsession? She fell in love with him since she saw him dancing and singing on tv. Dancing... it's an euphemism. Rain flew when he was on the stage. I never saw an asian guy dance so good like him. Anyway..She didn't have a chance with him. Because One: he was Rain and Two: he was already hooked up.
"But he's already hooked up!" Choi Seunghyun always reminded her.
"I don't Care. I love Him!" She replied. That sentence was new. Very Original.
"Why do you like him so much anyway? He's 30 for godness sake!"
"Because One: He's hannnnnnndsome." She squealed like a crazy fan.
"Two: He's super H.O.T!" The other girl added giving her an high five.
"And Three: When he dances...Wooo. I melt like ice in the sun." She confessed, blushing, even with the beauty mask on. The two girls giggled and moaned like cats. Unbelievable.
"Ya! Stop it! Stop it!" Choi Seunghyun exclaimed at the scene. "You look like those crazy fans on tv." He said disturbed by their moans. And he wasn't the only one.
"Okay." They stopped. "And age is just a number, baby." She added more serious.
"Don't' ever do that again. That scene was disturbing." He complained to her.
They laughed at him. "You ask, I answer. That's how it works." Yumi replied.
"And now I'm regretting it." He said back. After that, a comfortable silence spread around us. Sweet silence, how I love you. The only thing you could hear was the tapping of Yang Suk Ki's cell phone, but it didn't bother me at all. I was really glad that I decided to come.
Yumi suddenly stood up. She asked us if we wanted some chamomile. "It helps when you can't sleep." She said.
"Sure, why not." Choi Seunghyun nodded.
"Yeah. Me too." I said. "And thank you."
"Oh don't mention it. I do it with pleasure." She said back and walked towards the kitchen. I stared at her. While she was holding the pan, she stopped. "Oh I just forgot..." She exclaimed looking at us.
"What?" I asked her.
"The president told me to tell you guys, that tomorrow after the photoshoot, you have an interview with some radio station. I don't remember the name though." She thought of it while she was putting the pan on the burner.
"What time?" Choi Seunghyun asked.
"At 10:30 am."
"But we already have another interview at 09:00am!" He complained.
"Hey, don't get mad at me, I'm just the messenger." She defended herself.
"F*ck! Another full schedule day." And I was just starting to relax on this comfy chair.
Choi Seunghyun gave me a nudge. "Behave a little your bad mouth." He said.
Yumi probably heard him, because she replied: "Don't worry Oppa, I'm used to it." She checked the water temperature. "Nobody is pure here anyway."
"See! She's okay with it." I exclaimed showing off my tongue at him like a little kid.
He shook his head, looking at my childishness, then, as if he had been hit by something, his head turned rapidly at the the girl in the kitchen. "WHAT? You're saying that You're not virgin either?" It exited from his mouth with a surprised tone. My eyes weren't the only that popped out at his words. Yang Suk Ki eyes grew wider than mine.
"YA!" She shouted in his face. Choi Seunghyun shuted his mouth right away. He was clearly scared of her, and I was afraid too. "How can you ask so easily something so private? Are you a crazy?" Her voice lowered, but she remained always f*cking angry. "How would you feel if I ask you about your first time EH?" She asked him.
"Well.." You could see how Choi Seunghyun didn't know whether she was actually asking him or if it was a rhetorical question. Luckily Yumi came to his rescue.
She left the kitchen and went to sit next to the mad girl. She tried to calm her down by patting her back and shoulders. "It's alright Eoni. We're friends aren't we?!" She said looking at her. Yang Suk Ki broke eye contact with a scared Choi Seunghyun and moved her gaze on Yumi. When she saw the relaxed face of Yumi, she relaxed too. "Talking about it with him doesn't bother me."
"Are you sure?" Yang Suk Ki asked her.
"I'm sure." The girl answered calmly.
"Ok. Alright." Yang Suk Ki nodded and returned to texting to her boyfriend.
Yumi looked at us and answered Choi Seunghyun's question. "Yes, I'm not virgin anymore." She confessed blushing slightly.
Those words provoked odd sensations inside me. I knew that she could have done it with someone. She was 22, for crying out loud. It was normal to not be virgin at that age anymore. My brain tried to explain it to me, but my heart felt only pain inside her words. I stayed silence lost in this new feeling as they kept talking.
"It's that all you wanted to know?" She asked him lifting her brows.
Choi Seung Hyun looked at Yang Suk ki first and then at her. "Y-yes." He mumbled, still afraid of Yang Suk ki. The girl, hearing him, lifted her head and pointed her gaze towards him. A simple smile was on her face, but I couldn't tell if it was a good sign or not.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not mad at you anymore." She said with a normal tone of voice. "If it's okay for her to talk about it, it's okay for me too." She ended, Then returned to her phone. Choi Seung Hyun sighed in relief.
"How come you're single now?" My mouth spoke suddenly without my permission, but I desired to know more about her private life. Maybe like this odd feeling would disappear. That's what I believed.
She seemed surprised by my sudden interest. She blinked a couple of times before answering. "Well... Davide and I really loved each other, but.."
"But what?" I was too eager to stop myself.
"We had different dreams. So..we broke up." She finished, stood up and went in the kitchen to control the water, but I think that she just wanted to escape from me and my questions. I thought about what she said. She broke with her boyfriend. Of course she didn't wanted to talk about it. Neither I wanted people to ask me about my ex fianceΓ© Kiko. I could understand her, but that didn't mean that I was happy about it. That was the problem.
She returned from the kitchen with three cups with the tea envelop in them. She laid them on the table and went to take the teapot. She came back with another cup on her left hand too. She served us and then herself too. She sat down and we drank our tea in silence. I never rested my eyes on anything else but her figure.
I put down my cup and continued to stare at her. "Forgive me if I insist but.. you certainly have had others boyfriend right?" I didn't know why, but my voice sounded accusing. It's just that I felt mad, yet sad towards her, for an unknown reason.
"Yes. Like any other girl." She felt the poison in my voice and replied in the same way too. But she never made
