Smiley Face (1/1)
Today was one of those days where you rather want to stay in you bed than going outside. It all started when you woke up way too late for your first day of school. You didn‘t even have time to fully complete you daily beauty routin (shower, bb cream and some touch-ups). When you were dashing down the staires you bumped into your older sister Sunny which made her freshly brewed coffe spill all over her new dress. You could still her cursing you when you were at the end of the road in which you lived. You turned around and gazed the dirty road down. Dull looking houses borederd the small street. Most of them were painted in ugly grey or brown colours. Just one house caught attention right away. It was bright red and in front of every window were different kind of floweres. You smiled when you saw Sunny standing in the door and stomping at the floor yelling:“JUST WAIT WHEN YOU COME BACK JUN HEE! YOU GONNA BUY ME A NEW DRESS, ARASSO?! AND IF YOU DON‘T, I SWEAR...“. You turned around and giggled. She‘ll never change. She‘s so bad tempered. Since you‘re parents passed away when you were 7 years old, it‘s always been you and your 3 sisters. In the beginning you lived with your grandparents but as soon as Jaekyung could get a job to support the family, you guys moved out. Of course, it was often hard for all of you, not having your parents around but you weren‘t living in misery, self-pitying yourself all day long. No, you tried to move on and make the best out of every situation. You ran panting down to the subway station and barley made it. You squeezed between bad smelling people, trying to catch your breath. Aigo, I hope I won‘t be late for my first day! What is everyone gonna think of me? The way I already look like... You looked at your refelction in the window of the subway. I look so sweaty, my hair is a mess and I didn‘t- NO! Jun Hee think positive! What did mom always say? People don‘t care about your appearnce, as long as your smile is sincere, kind and open and not fake. Yeah - you thought and looked at your refelction again - I‘ll just practice a bit smiling and then in school I‘ll smile all naturally. So you started smiling at your own reflection, trying to figure a way out to look sincere and friendly but nor fake. You tried all kind of variations for example without teath and the corners of your mouth as high as possible or just a seducing eye smile. Yeah - you thought - that doesn‘t look to bad - and you closed your eyes even a little more. Suddenly you heared a light chuckle next to you. You turned around and looked at an absolutly handsome guy. He had dyed blond hair and gorgeous brown eyes. His face seemed like photoshoped because you couldn‘t find any flaws. He had his ear pierced several times and you could tell that he was well trained. His eyes were glittering in amusement when he looked down at you. You could feel your face getting all hot and you stared very concentrated on the floor so you wouldn‘t meet his gaze. Omo omo omo why does that always happen to me?! he must think I‘m crazy! Jun Hee, you stupid stupid girl! The door behind you opened and you could feel him passing by. You withstood the urge to turn around and watch him leave because you were still too emberassed. Suddenly you felt a warm breath tickeling your neck:“ I hope I‘ll see you again some day, smiley face. Until then, keep practicing“ You could hear the smile in his voice but when you turned around, he already left the metro and you could only watch his back disappearing in the crowd.
