Stuck in Between

22. Turn of Events

Chorong's POV

"Ready for your part time job?" Na Eun asked me.

I smiled cheerfully. I am excited. It's my first job ever. The thrill makes me giggle.

"I guess I need to go now." Bomi uttered fixing her stuff in her bag. "I don't wanna see you three leaving together." He put he hands on her chest and made a sad face. "It pains me!"

We pushed her towards the door. "Naga! (Get out!)" I said jokingly.

"Gomapda Chinguya!" (Thank you friend) she said sarcastically and ran away.

Na Eun shook her head smiling. "By the way, where is Eunji?"

I raised my shoulders gesturing 'i don't know'

Na Eun's phone rang afterwards. "Oppa! Wae?"

It must have been her boyfriend. You'll know it by looking at her. When she receives a call from him, she turns pink and her smile isn't forced.

When she hung up, "Chorong-ah.." she bit her lip. "Mian.. Taemin Oppa asked if I could watch a movie with him since exams are over."

As expected. I know, right?

I nodded. "Sure. Go ahead."

"Jinjja?" Her pupils dilated. "How about you?"

I smiled. "Na Eun-ah. Kwenchana. Pali ka! (I'm fine. Hurry go!)"

She held my hands and smiled.

Na Eun's pure smile could even make a girl's heart flutter. Really!

Minutes after Na Eun left, Eunji came rushing to the classroom.

"Chorong-ah..." She was still catching her breath while speaking. "Joldae, Hwanjeon, Jinjja mianhaeyo. Mr. Kim got me to help him for some school stuff. Meaning, I can't go with you today. Ride in the bus stop instead. Jungmal mianhae chinguya.. jinjja mianhae.."

Although saddened by the cancellation of their original plan, I was okay going alone on her first day of job.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" I greeted Tiffany Eonnie with a big smile.

"Chorong-ah!" she exclaimed as sge saw me. Omona! I really envy her eye smile. She's just so lovely smiling. "This is your first day in work. Chukkhahae! (Congratulations!)" She hugged me. I never thought Eonnie and I are as close as this, but I super love her. Except the fact that she's that jerk's sister.

"Gomapsumnida, Eonnie! (Thank you, Eonnie!)"

She got her bag from the counter. "I'll be going now. My class starts 30 mins after."

"Ne, eonnie. Fighting!" I bowed.

She was already in the door when she suddenly stopped. "Oh! I forgot."

"What is it, eonnie?"

"I sent someone to help you for the meantime since I have my exams two weeks after so I need to study and you are still not accustomed to the store and to our regular costumers. He'll arrive soon. Bye!"

And she sped fast out of the store to the bus stop.

I put my bag under the counter and had a deep sigh. "Huh! Go Chiring! Nan Halsu isseo! (I can do it!)" and posed a fighting posture. "Fighting!"

"Fighting!!!"

I looked at the door to see who shouted fighting along with me.

Heart, mwoya igeo? (what is this?) Why are you beating fast and loud seeing that jerk? Michyeoseo?(are you crazy?)

He smirked while walking towards the counter. "Seems like my sister is big fan of our couple."

I gave him an irritated face. "And since when did we have a couple?"

He stopped in front of the counter. He lowered hus face towards mine.

HEART STOP!!!!

I didm't move or wink trying to cover what my heart is involuntarilly doing.

"I also don't know when." He said whispering.

Gawd! His breath has this good scent.

Chorong-ah! Since when did you like smelling his breath?! Scolded that small voice inside my head.

He continued, "But since my sister ships us, why don't we give her some fanservice? Hmmm?"

"Huh! I am not a good actress so I will just say sorry to your sister and do my job well." I went out of the counter and went fixing some products that are in the lowest part of the display cabinets. "And please, I don't want anyone disturbing me in my work especially today. So please.. if you aren't going to get anything, leave now."

But he sat on the counter instead.

I stared at him with laser eyes.

"Just to inform you." He uttered. "I am in charge here in replacement of my sister."

That statement made me stand in disbelief. "Are you kidding me?!"

"Do I look like I am kidding?" then he smirked again.

ANDWE!!!!!!
