chapter 9 (1/1)

After Haera got back home, she couldn’t sleep at all. Even after changing her sleep position for many times already, she still couldn’t put herself to sleep. She finally gave up and just stared at the ceiling above her until her eyes would eventually close by itself. Minutes passed by, but Haera still hadn’t managed to put herself to dreamland. Didn’t want to bring herself to ponder again, Haera got up from the bed to grab her camera and lay back on her bed. She decided to just have a look at the pictures she had take on her camera.Haera’s lips tugged up into a little smile, satisfied with the picture of the beautiful houses near the neighborhood that she took before. A little chuckle managed to escape her lips when the picture of a house’s front porch with a surprised face of a little boy in it was on her camera’s screen. The little boy was sitting with an older boy, in the front porch, the older boy was looking at the back while the little boy was purely surprised to see a stranger passes by and took a picture of him, or his house.The sound of Haera’s cellphone ringing broke the girl’s concentration on her camera. She fished out her cellphone that was under her pillow, wondering who would call her at this rate of hour. The name ‘Minhee’ flashed on her cellphone’s screen. She should’ve expect it. That girl always call her whenever she couldn’t close her eyelids and drift to dreamland.“Hello?” Minhee said almost immediately after Haera answered the call.“Can’t sleep again?” Haera asked, continuing to focus on looking the pictures on the camera.“You know me so well, Kwon Haera.”“I’m really tired, but this eyes of mine wouldn’t want to close at all.” Minhee added.The picture of Sehun and his friends that Minhee took from the rooftop displayed on the screen. “Too many Sehun on your mind, that’s why.”“What?” Minhee asked almost immediately. She didn’t know should she blush because Haera mentioned it or should she be confused and surprised, because Haera would never brought up that topic.“Nope, forget it.” Haera skipped to the next picture but it was still Sehun and his friends. Minhee sure did take a lot picture of Sehun.“You said too many Sehun on my mind?”“Hey, didn’t I told you to delete the pictures of Sehun after you copy it to your cellphone?” Haera asked instead, ignoring Minhee’s question.“Well, the thing is, I haven’t copy it. I forgot. Remind me on Monday.”When Haera was about to move to the next picture, a person caught her eyes. Oh, that boy. All of a sudden that boy dancing in the middle of the street before flashed in her mind. She remembered at how he was enjoying himself dancing as if it was the only good thing to do in the world. She remembered at how smooth his moves was. And she remembered at how she was somehow a bit amazed to saw him so into dancing, even though she wouldn’t admit it. Haera was too immersed in her own thought that she didn’t realize Minhee had been calling her name until she yelled her name.“Yah! Kwon Haera! Are you still there?”“Yes? Yes, I’m still here.” Thanks to Minhee’s high-pitched voice, Haera stopped herself from thinking about things again.“What are you doing actually?”“I’m checking the pictures in my camera,”“Ah, I thought you fell asleep already.”“Wait! Don’t delete Sehun’s photos yet! I haven’t move it to my cellphone,” Minhee panicked instantly when she realized that Haera could just delete her precious shoots of Oh Sehun whenever she wants to. Even if she hadn’t copy it to her cellphone.“Okay. Just, don’t forget to copy it to your cellphone on Monday.”“Yes, yes I promise. Oh my god Kwon Haera I swear I love you to death!” Minhee squealed and Haera could imagine her jumping up and down because of the excitement. She chuckled a little in respond.“By the way, why are you so strict on removing his photos? It’s not that he’ll eat your camera up,” Minhee mumble the last words, but still, Haera could hear it.“I just don’t like it.”“Come on. Look at Sehun. He’s not that bad. Heck, he’s freakin handsome! And he’s also a really really good guy.” Minhee kept on gushing about Sehun.Haera rolled her eyes even though she knew Minhee couldn’t see it, “Yeah, whatever.”Minhee pouted at her best friend’s lack of careness, “You should pay attention more to him. And his friends! No girls that didn’t fall for their charms! They are so nice! Remember Junmyeon?”“Yes, ofcourse. What about him?”“He felt very guilty about the interview. Not only him, but his friends also. They are so sorry for being too loud at the interview. They even want to meet you just to say their apology.”“How do you know that they felt guilty?”“Well, they asked me to sit with them on lunch. And then, they say that.”“They asked you to sit with them? How do you manage to sit with them? There’s Sehun, right?” Haera asked, merely surprised that her best friend managed to pull herself together when Sehun was not even a step away from her.“I don’t know, I was just somehow managed it. Maybe it’s because they kept on talking to me and they are really fun to talk to. Especially Baekhyun and Chanyeol. They’re really funny.”“So now you forget Sehun?” Haera asked with a teasing tone.“What? No! Ofcourse no! Oh my godness, you don’t know how hard it was to not to look at him. And you know what’s embarrassing? Jongin caught me stealing a glance at Sehun! Oh god, can you believe that?”“What? He did?” Minhee nodded her head vigorously for an answer as if Haera could see her.“Wait, who? Who caught you staring?” Haera asked again.“It’s Jongin, one of Sehun’s friends. He was also at the interview, but he wasn’t loud like his friends. Even at lunch he only speak a few words, and sometimes would laugh at Baekhyun’s jokes. He seems to be a quiet person.” Minhee explained even when Haera only asked who it was.“Okay. Like I even care,” Haera murmured.“Well, you should care!”“I’m sleepy,” Haera said, stifling a yawn.Minhee unknowingly pouted, “Okay, go to sleep. Nice dream~~” Minhe sing-songed.Haera smiled, “Yeah, you too. Bye.”  ~  “Sehun stop reading comic. You came here to study”“Jongin this isn’t your practice room, turn off the music and stop dancing,”“Chanyeol! I’ve just clean my house, please stop eating the chips so messily,”“We all know you’re rich Junmyeon, no need to sprawl your money on my couch.”“Baekhyun can you please stop making a noise? The game you’re playing is already noisy itself.”“WOULD YOU GUYS PLEASE JUST STOP?!?!”The boys stopped what they’re doing immediately, grabbed their books and pretended to start reading it the moment Kyungsoo shouted in desperate. Baekhyun who hurriedly grab his book, ended up reading the book upside down, earning Sehun’s fainted chuckle.“Right. You guys better start studying or I’ll kick you out from my house.” Kyungsoo mumbled and started reading his books.It was Saturday morning, and the boys planned to study together for the quiz on Monday. Actually, it was only Sehun & Jongin who wanted to study, because their class are having a quiz on Monday. But upon hearing this news, Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Junmyeon also wanted to come. So, they all decided to study at Kyungsoo house (because Kyungsoo offered himself, since he&his family just moved in to a new house, but he regretted it). Kyungsoo thought that they will started to study immediately, especially Sehun and Kai, since they’re the one having a quiz on Monday. But they didn’t. And the addition Chanyeol, Baekhyun, and Junmyeon is making it worse. The first thing they done the moment they entered Kyungsoo’s super tidy and comfortable living room was to just make a noise, eating, dancing, and what else, you name it.One hour passed. Sehun who was having a hard time on learning the subject, stopped reading the book and sprawled himself on the floor.“I’m tired.”Chanyeol also joined him on the floor and lay on Sehun’s stomach. “I’m hungry.”Kyungsoo looked at them with his owl-like eyes, “It’s only an hour, and you guys tired already?”“My brain capacity is not enough to put that formulas in,” Sehun reasoned.“Brain capacity my ass.” Jongin who was trying to concentrate on Kyungsoo’s notebook, commented.“Like yours aren’t,” Sehun said back to Jongin.“At least I’m trying.”“Whatever.” Sehun rolled his eyes and grabbed his comic to read it again.“I’m starving.” Chanyeol announced, breaking the silence.“Yeah, me too.” Baekhyun who was playing the game on his cellphone, also joined Chanyeol to lay on the floor.Kyungsoo heard them complaining but he just ignored them and continue on writing down the formula for Jongin to use to solve the math problem. Hearing no respond, Chanyeol and Baekhyun stayed silent too. They somehow feel like being silent after seeing Jongin so serious on studying. Usually, he wouldn’t be like this. He would just go and dance until he got no energy left and study one night before the quiz. They never saw Jongin preparing himself for an exam, let alone quiz.Half an hour passed. Junmyeon decided to take five and joined the others laying on the floor. Jongin also wanted to rest his brain a bit so he also joined the others. Seeing there’s no more hands writing, Kyungsoo released his pen and looked at his friends that lay on the floor busy with their own world. He finally decided to rest too and joined the rest on the floor. Just when he was about to lay down, Chanyeol immediately stood up and grab Kyungsoo’s hands.“You are going to cook for us.” Chanyeol said while taking him to the kitchen.Kyungsoo was about to say something but then decided not too. He then just gave up and started cooking for them. After finding out what’s Kyungsoo going to cook, Chanyeol offered himself to help because he knew the dish. Sehun who was reading his comic, suddenly heard sounds coming from the kitchen. He then knew that Kyungsoo was cooking. He stood up and ran as fast as wind to the kitchen. He wanted to be the first one to eat the dish, but then again Kyungsoo & Chanyeol just started cooking. So, the food probably would still take a bit more to finish. Sehun then decided to just eat snacks, since his stomach is already grownling. But all the snacks are already eaten by Chanyeol. Damn that giant. Sehun thought while walking back to the living room sulkily.“Where are you going?” Sehun asked when he saw Jongin was about to leave the living room.“To the nearest store that has food in it.”Sehun’s face lit up with a smile and followed Jongin, “I’ll go with you.”Jongin walked out first after opening the front door to the porch of the house. Jongin stopped in front of the door to wait for Sehun to wear his shoes while he’s switching his snapback backwards. After switching his snapback, he looked forward and was purely surprised to see what was in front of Kyungsoo’s house. There was this tiny, tiny, hint of happiness inside him upon what he saw, even though he didn’t really admit it. But he’s still confused as to what is she doing in here. In front of Kyungsoo’s house. And what’s more surprising is that she was already staring when Jongin saw her. Surprising in a good meaning. Jongin got this amazing feeling inside him when she was already staring at him. But he just wouldn’t admit it. The said boy was too immersed on his thought and kept on staring that he didn’t realize Sehun had finished wearing his shoes and also saw what he saw. Before Jongin could even say a thing, Sehun beat him to it.“Isn’t that….. Haera?”  I'msorry for not updating for months.
