Chapter 11 : The Music Ma (1/1)

Meen sat there, gazing the wall alone. She couldn't make any conclusion on what she got in her meetings with Sunggyu, Dongwoo and Woohyun. Sunggyu had to clean the kitchen until she left the house.Dongwoo will compose the end of his new song for Meen before she left the house.Woohyun told that there was a word 'hidden' in each of his books on the excepted shelf.And after this...?She was not sure; who will she meet after Woohyun? Myungsoo?Sungyeol?Hoya?Sungjong?Yes, she hadn't meet them. She just couldn't decision all by herself.But, she insisted to meet Sungjong lastly. So, Sungjong was excluded."Why are you sitting in the middle of my way?" Meen turned. Hoya, who was asking the question to her, stood right behind her. He wanted to drive her off from sitting on the stairs, but he reminded himself not to get blow up easily. He patted his chest to calm himself."I'm sorry, Hoya. I am in the middle of finding answer.""Do you need to sit here? Are you trying to find inspiration here?" continued Hoya cynically.Meen rose. She gave spaces to Hoya. Hoya eyed her flirtatiously."A small teenage girl like you shouldn't sit on stairs. You should sit on seats," Hoya started his 'nags'.Meen fell on deaf ears. "Can I follow you?" Meen didn't want to wait until he finished his lecture. Hoya could feel Meen was insinuating him. "I am a boring guy. It's not much about me to be told to you."Meen smiled. "It's okay, as long as my investigation run smoothly."Hoya stared Meen's bright face. "Alright then." He went upstairs.Meen tailed him. Soon, they arrived at a room, just beside Dongwoo's. Hoya opened the door when Meen inquired. "Your room is besides Dongwoo's, isn't it?"Hoya nodded once. "Actually, we're living in the same room before. Because of small misunderstands, we separated."Meen dilated. "Do you fight?"Hoya rubbed his back of his head. "Not really. But we pretended not to know each other for weeks."Meen nodded. "I hope you can be back together.""We did. It's only you that don't know."Her cheeks began to blush. "Yes, I really don't know about it."Hoya chuckled. "You're so cute. No wonder The Sungs keep telling about you.""The Sungs?"Hoya and Meen took their place by a radio and desktop respectively. "Sunggyu, Sungyeol and Sungjong.""Oh," Meen nodded again. "I just realized it!"Hoya handed it Meen an MP3 player with its earphone. Meen jumped at the player and wore the earphone. Hoya then instructed her to switch the player on. Meen did so.The love lullaby played made Meen engrossed. She flew to her own world. She didn't realize the time went on unknowingly.As she came back to the reality, she saw the sleeping Hoya. She grinned when watching Hoya nod off while waiting her listen to the song. She observed Hoya. Hoya quickly lifted his head. He wasn't sleeping though. He just lowered his head. Luckily Meen didn't laugh at him."What?" Hoya seemed wondering."Nothing. You look cute in that pose," Meen praised Hoya.He blushed rapidly. "Take back what have you said just now. It's embarassing me.""You are good in scolding others but you feel shy with only one praise? Such an interesting boy." Meen smiled from ear to ear.Hoya's cheeks even red. He turned to other direction to hide his face. Meen tried to peep him. Hoya was pouting! She laughed as Hoya realized her presence."Don't laugh!" shouted Hoya to cover his embarass expression. Meen ignored him. "You know what, Hoya? This is the first time that I met a short tempered guy like you became shy with just a praise!" she shed her tears.Hoya faced Meen. He smiled. Meen stopped laughing abruptly; stunned with his reaction. His sweet smile made Meen lured."Hoya...""This is the next lesson. Don't judge book by its cover."Hoya rose from his seat. "I'm not that kind of person, Meen." He drew his face nearer to Meen's. "It just I can't stand with new people. Bad memories made me becoming like this."Meen was touched. She never knew Hoya was keeping a secret and he never split it. He was really an honest guy."Hoya, I'm sorry for laugh at you."Hoya switched on his radio. After that, he played a song. Meen again engrossed with the love song. She seemed easy to get drown in something new, thought Hoya.Suddenly, Meen's tears fell on her palms. She was affected by the rythm of the song. Hoya became panicked."No, I'm okay. It's just... the song is too sad that could make me cry." She shed her tears.Hoya paused the song. "The moral of the story is, don't judge book by its cover.""You've repeated it twice."
