[Dara’s POV]
From: It’s me
Hi baby… miss me…??
Why…? Why all of a sudden he came back…? I’m trying to forget everything that had happened between us and now this…! What’s he up to now…?
I was about to reply on his message… even though I don’t even know what will I say… as if that I miss him…? He’s really full of himself…! Our manager suddenly came out from his office so I quickly turned off my phone and slid it inside my pocket again.
I got nervous because I’m afraid I’ll piss Jiyong off and he’ll do something outrageous again… Our manager’s eyeing me suspiciously but then I realized that I’m not the one who she’s staring at… I looked at my back and saw Bom facing back talking with someone over her phone… she’s giggling while munching her corn… I chuckled a bit because of the look in our manager’s face…
“Yah…! Park Bom…!!!!” she yelled… Doesn’t she know that it’s already in the middle of the night…? Bom almost slipped her phone out of her hand and almost swallowed the whole corn in her mouth.
“Oh… Sajangnim…! What can I do for you…?” she said innocently while hiding her phone in her pocket… I’m just watching them from the cashier, chuckling to their funny scene…
“Yah…! Haven’t I told you that no phone during work…! And how many times have I given you a warning about eating during work…!” our manager’s face was so red because of too much anger and seriously, Bom isn’t helping to ease the tension.
“But sajangnim… there aren’t customers yet… plus… I’m really hungry… at least I’m not eating our products…” she said pouting… our manager’s eyes squinted into tiny slits and I could literally see smoke coming out from her ears and nose… then she closed her eyes and sighed deeply.
“You kids… I feel like I lost half of my life ever since I hired you… I feel so lucky to have both of you… fine... do everything you want… as if I can do anything about it… I’m so lucky to have employees like you…” she said sarcastically as she headed back to her office…
“You’re welcome sajangnim…!” Bom yelled… I turned to her, my eyes wide open and se just smiled at me… our manager slammed the door which made me jump a bit… Bom went back on eating her corn while I am left dumbfounded.
“Bom… I feel sorry for the manager…” I said
“Hmmm… let her be… as if she can fire us since there won’t be anyone to replace us and agree on working during our shift… she’s just like that because she don’t have any man” she said as she rolled her eyes… after that we both chuckled.
As usual, there aren’t much customers this night…. It means more time for me to study and also listening to Bom’s stories about her boyfriend… good thing I have her so I won’t feel sleepy… she’s always on high spirits whenever she has a new boyfriend… I’m just wondering when will be the time wherein she could settle on just one guy.
Our shift ended at 1am… we parted ways since we don’t have the same way home… even though our house is a bit far from the store, I don’t feel scared going home since there aren’t people along the way… I feel more secured whenever the neighborhood is quiet and people free… as I was walking my way home, I remembered that I haven’t replied to his message… I quickly picked my phone from my pocket thinking that it’s still not too late to reply… as long as I didn’t break what he told me to do.
Dara:
I’m sorry I only got to reply now coz I have work earlier
I sent the message not hoping for him to reply since it’s already one in the morning… as I was about to put it inside my pocket… it suddenly vibrated and surprisingly he replied
From: It’s me
Where are you?
Huh..? He’s still awake? And what’s with the ‘where are you?’
Dara:
Walking my way home… duh
From: It’s me
You’re alone?
Dara:
Yes… why?
What’s with him…? Then here he go again… making me wait for his reply…
From: It’s me
Nothing…
Call me when you get home
Dara:
Why?
From: It’s me
Because I said so
Now go home quick
I still need to sleep
Aissh... this guy really…! I don’t know what’s going on in that perverted mind of his… who told him to wait for me to till I get home…! I’m still half my way from home… what does he want me to do… run…?
Dara:
Yah…!
Then just sleep…
No one’s stopping you
I’m still far from home
From: It’s me
Then run..!
You’re a fast runner
What the..! he’s really pissing me off…. What am I..? Gullible…? If he wants to wait, then I’ll let him wait… After 15 minutes of walking, I finally made home… and just what he said, I called him… It doesn’t even take two rings for him to pick up.
“Yah..! Why did it take you 15 minutes to go home…!”
He quickly yelled over the phone once he picked it up… good thing everyone’s asleep now because if not, I’ll surely retaliate back… who is he to shout at me…!
“Could you please lower your voice… I’m not deaf you know… and did I told you earlier that I’m still far from home…” I tried to act composed as possible
“I told you to run…!”
What the..! why is he so annoying…! He acts like a child
“Could we just talk tomorrow… we both still need to sleep…”
“Fine…! So you’re home now…?”
“Why would I call you if I’m not yet home… aissht…”
“Fine… then buhbye baby…”
“Don’t call me that…!” I silently yelled… then I heard him chuckled over the line
“I’ll hang up now baby… see you at school…”
And before I could speak… he already hanged up…! He’s really something…! So after days of ignoring me… he’s now back to ruin my life again… Just what did I do wrong to deserve all of these…?
[Jiyong’s POV]
After I sent her my first message… I expected that she will reply immediately since I could imagine that she’s pissed again for my sudden comeback… but it already took couple of minutes but she still didn’t reply… I was going to send her another message but I held myself back thinking it would make me look like I’m into her…
I started to get mad when after an hour she still didn’t reply… can’t she remember what I told her before…? But I remembered that she has work… maybe her phone is turned off… but still… aissht…
I decided to just sleep but no matter how many times I tossed myself around my bed I can’t sleep… didn’t she even missed me..? I decided to check the time and it’s already 11pm… I checked my phone but still no reply from her… Just until when does her shift end…?
I stood up from my bed because it makes my head hurt lying down without sleeping… I paced back and forth around my room looking at my phone… I don’t know why I’m waiting for her reply… don’t tell me, I miss her…? That would be impossible… I just miss pissing her off… that’s it…
I don’t know how many hours I paced around my room when suddenly my phone vibrated… I quickly dashed towards my phone and opened it…. I felt myself became giddy and a wide smile crept in my face when I knew it’s from her… but as I read her message… I suddenly felt quite disappointed because she didn’t tell me if she missed me… I looked at the clock and it’s already freaking 1am…! What the…!
I asked her where she is and when she told me that she’s on her way home now, I suddenly felt nervous… unconsciously I asked her if she’s alone then when she told me she is, I got more nervous… what is she thinking…?! It’s freaking 1 in the morning and she’s walking alone…! Doesn’t she think that she’s like a rapist magnet with her innocent looking face and her petite body… she’s completely helpless…!
F*ck what’s happening to me…? Since when did I have any concerns about her… but still… I told her to go home quick but she’s too stubborn to listen… but maybe if someone would try harming her, she could ran off immediately since she’s really a fast runner… yeah… that’s right… I told her to call me once she got home… I waited for like 15 minutes until she called me…! 15 minutes….! That could give any rapists enough time to do a ‘quicky’…!
I immediately picked up the phone and again, unconsciously I yelled on her… she on the other hand remained calm… hinting me that nothing’s wrong happened to her… I thought she would call me crying and asking for help…
If you think about it… it’s my first time to hear her voice over the phone… I didn’t think that her voice is more beautiful over the phone… more beautiful...? I take that back...it's not beautiful... her voice is angelic in person...I feel like I won’t get tired hearing her voice… I shook my head to get out from my thoughts and make myself remember about my plan of pissing her off…. I felt lost earlier but then regained myself before I hanged up on her… I didn’t let her speak more before I hang up and after that, I felt my chest tightened and my heart kept on beating so fast…
I clutched on my chest as I slumped down on my bed again… I don’t know why I feel at peace after talking with her… and knowing that she arrived home safely… I tried thinking of plans I could do to piss her off later at school but nothing comes up on my intelligent mind… all I want is to see her fast… my heart kept on thumping hard as I clutched on my chest more.
‘What the heck…! Am I having a heart attack…?’ I thought… I closed my eyes and after a while I drown into deep slumber.
