A Handsome Face in an Evi (1/1)

I don't know when my brother and his co-trainees are planning to leave. I just know I'm not so cool when Hanbin is near. I know he's changed a lot, the way he wears, the way he thinks--the Hanbin who showed himself in my room is definitely not the Hanbin I used to know. He is no longer the person I've given my heart to.Just like how he's got that piercing on his right ear."Sis? You're coming with us?" I look straight up at Jinhwan who's standing in front of me. He is wearing a cap, rapper style, and he's holding a ball. I look behind him only to see Bobby coming toward us and beside him is no other than the person I want to see the least."Yo Lee-jin, want to watch us play basketball?" Again, he is wearing that friendly smile of his. Bobby winks at me. Hanbin is just silent, ignoring my presence. "Maybe some other time," I replied. I don't want him to think I am exerting an effort just to be with him. I don't want to be the girl I was before. Upon hearing my response, Hanbin automatically looks at me."I still have to finish something. Got to go. Good luck to your game!" I give my twin a flying kiss but it was Bobby who catch it and blow it back to me. I laughed so hard because he is being so playful."Aw man, it was mine." Jinhwan commented, punching Bobby jokingly on his left shoulder. "Sorry bro, got it first." I heard him say before I disappeared in the scene.An hour later, my mom spotted me having a movie marathon while munching Oishi. At first, she just passed by and I was relieved.But then she returned, asking me if I saw Jinhwan. This is when I started to panic. She's probably up to something I won't like."He's playing basketball with his friends," I answered hardly looking at her. She sits beside me on the couch. "Then why are you here?" I stopped for a moment. I paused the movie, looks at my mother, trying to tell if she's serious or not."What do you mean why I'm here? Don't tell me you expect me to tail them? No way," I played the movie back to let her know I'm not in the mood to argue with her again. She sighed as if it is a really big problem."I want you to like Hanbin. He is the perfect guy for you. He's a gentleman," I almost choke. I need water and it's a good thing I have a tumbler with me. My mother caresses my back. I finally had the chance to speak."Mom, you're unbelievable. You hardly know the guy and you're saying he's the perfect one for me. What did he do for you to appreciate him like that?" I expressed, eyeing her with annoyance. She stood up."And what did he do to you to hate him like that?" She countered me by throwing another question. If only she knew him before, if only she'd heard what Hanbin said to me years ago. If only she witnessed how crazy I am for chasing after a guy who doesn't deserve it, then maybe she'll be comforting me at this instant. Too bad she doesn't know any of it."Lee-jin, tell me honestly, are you a lesbian?""What? Of course not. Just because I don't like him it already means I'm a lesbian. And believe me mom, you don't know the guy. You don't know if there's a monster behind that handsome face of his." My mother is paranoid. Of all people, how can she even think her own daughter is a lesbian? Come on, she might be crazy."Oh, so you admitted he's handsome. And now, prove to me you're not a lesbian. Bring this pitcher with cold water to where they are. Those guys might probably be so thirsty. Come on," she urges me to get the pitcher.My blood boils while I stormed out of the room to the basketball court. I'm so damn pissed with my mother. She is trying to control my life. Well, fine, I'm gonna play along with her little game. And I swear, once this is over I will really go directly to where I want and she can't stop me. I won't let her. They are all laughing when I arrived. "Nice one, Hanbin." Jinhwan said and they high fived.It was Bobby who ran first to me. "Lee-jin, I'm glad you changed your mind." He said when he's already in front of me. "Yeah, I thought you're gonna be thirsty. Want some?" I offered him the glass of cold water."Sure, thanks." Bobby is still going to get the glass I am holding when suddenly, another hand grabs it."I'm so thirsty. Mind if I drink this?"Bobby shakes his head to Hanbin, "Go on." And so he took a swig. We just stared at him until he finished drinking.I clenched my fist."Hanbin, you're sweaty. I've got a towel." It's only then that he really looks at me as if it were the first time he's seen me there."Okay," he pointed on his back which means he expects me to put the towel there for him. The bastard. "Come closer." I quipped so I could rub the towel on his back with full force. But my plan had simply failed when he really came closer and slowly take his shirt off. Everybody looks at him when he throws the shirt away."Wipe it." He ordered with me facing his back.Have I already mentioned Hanbin has really a sexy back? He's so damn hot I could just punch him on his face."Hey, stop staring. I thought you're gonna wipe it?" I can hear him chuckle softly. I throw the towel at him."Wipe it on your own you jackass." And that's when they all laughed their heart out, even Jinhwan.
