CHAPTER 23 (2/2)

"By the way, where is Seungri?  He went to the restroom as well earlier right?  Have you seen him Erika?"

"Ah, he went to my room because he is not feeling well.  He is a bit sick, I will check up on him then I'll go back."  he said then he went upstairs.

"You know what Erika, my son really likes you, I hope that you can give him a chance."  Maria said.

"I am trying Aunt Maria, your son is really nice to me and to everyone, I just don't think that I am ready for any relationship because I need to support my family first and I'm quite a busy person."  she explained.

"This Seungri guy, is he interested in you as well?"  Erika looked up to Naotoshi's father.

"Ah, no, he's just a friend, nothing else."  she answered.

"He actually looks familiar, and he is really uncomfortable earlier, but anyway, where is he?  I haven't seen him~ oh there he is!"  Maria said when she saw Seungri and Naotoshi.

"I'm sorry, I don't feel well that is why I asked Naotoshi if I can take a nap on his room"  Seungri explained himself.

"Are you feeling better now?"  Naotoshi's dad asked.

"Yeah, sir I am.  I think I just needed to eat Aunt Maria's cookies so that I will feel better!"  he said that created laughter to everyone.

The two boys sat down on their chairs and continued eating.  They are now munching on the dessert and the two girls are giggling because it is their favorite cookies that they are eating.

"I super love this Auntie!  Awesome!"  Janine exclaimed.

"Do you still have some?  Can we bring some at home?"  Erika pleaded.

"Of course!  Naotoshi, get the cookies from the oven and put in a bag.  Give it all to them."  Maria said and Naotoshi did as told.

After a couple of small talks, the three already bid goodbye to the wonderful couple.  Naotoshi guided them out of the house.

"Thanks for coming guys, you made my mom extra happy."  Naotoshi said with a smile on his face.

"We just had a slight problem though, hew, that was so close."  Janine mentioned.  The others nodded in agreement.

"I almost died in shock when Erika went inside the restroom and locked the door, I thought she's going to rape me or something."  Seungri said then Erika shot her a death glare.  Naotoshi looked at Erika and Janine can't stop laughing.

"You did that?"  Naotoshi asked her.

"I went inside the bathroom, I was scared that Leila might get inside so I locked it!  You jerk!~'  she looked at Seungri, "Shut up!"  she pointed at him.  Seungri just laughed along with Janine.

"The people here are so serious, get your cray~ get your crayon!"  Janine sing-sang though she is not getting the correct tone.  This time all of them laughed and Janine pushed them all at once.

"Now look who's effin' serious?"  Erika said this time.  The rest just laughed then they began to walk towards the bus stop.  Naotoshi went to Erika's side who is currently beside Janine, he nodded at her,  Janine got the message then went beside Seungri then she asked for them to walk faster.

"Looks like your relationship with Seungri is really good right now."  Naotoshi asked her.

She sighed then answered, "Yeah, he's nice but he can be a hell of a jerk sometimes."

He didn't answer.  Erika sighed again and hold on to his arm to stop him.

"I am really sorry, sorry if I am hurting you, if I only have the option to~"

"No, I understand.  You don't need to say anything.  I knew this would happen.  I prepared myself but~"

"We are not in a relationship, I mean, me and Seungri are not~"  Erika clarified.

"But you like him don't you?"  she was caught off-guard.  She didn't speak.  She looked away.  Naotoshi just sighed then turn her head and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine.  I have prepared for this so I'll be okay."  he said tapping her shoulders then giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"You take care, okay?"  he continued.  Erika wrapped her arms around him.

"We are still friends okay?  Don't throw me away!"  Erika said with tears in her face.

"Why would I?  Remember?  We are friends forever!"  he released from the hug then held his pinky finger out.  Erika did the same and they locked their fingers together.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Where is Erika?  She was replaced by Janine beside me.  Janine held on to my arm that is encouraging me to walk faster.

"Wait, stop, where is she?"  I asked her.

"Oh, she's, there!"  pointed at her back.  By the time I looked back, Naotoshi is kissing her cheek then after the kiss Erika hugged him tightly.  WTF?  I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth.

"What the hell are they doing?  Why did he kissed her?  Oh, and now she's hugging her?"  I shouted madly at Janine who is smirking.

"They are just, talking, give them time."

"Oh, so that's how people talk right now huh?"  I asked madly.  Janine started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?"  I asked her.

"Why are you so mad?  Are you jealous?"  she asked while still laughing.  OH.  I am being too obvious am I?

"NO, I'm not jealous, it's just, it's just, it's already late, we need to go home.  Can you tell them to hurry up and stop the crap?  Aish!"  I grunted then walk fast towards the bus stop.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can't stop smiling.  Seungri of BIGBANG is jealous?  HOHO!!  I am so happy for my friend that he was able to catch this panda's attention.  I like Seungri as well but I like TOP oppa more and I am not in any position to intervene any romantic feelings to blossom.  I watched Seungri as he walked away from me and from us, storming his way towards the bus stop.  I stood there, waiting for the two to pass.  Once Erika is beside me, I whispered.

"Looks like someone on the bus stop is jealous."  she flashed me a weird look then I stared back.

"What are you talking about?"  Erika asked me.

"That panda boy is jealous, and he is a bit mad as well."  I said with a grin on my face.

WOAH, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?  HOHO.

I LOVE YOU ALL.  XOXO
