Oh moributho balkuthkaji da sarangsurowo
oh niga naui yojaranun ge jarangsurowo
gidarimi julgobgo ijen gonggimajo

There goes my ringtone. (Kim Jong kook’s Sarangsurowo)http://emptysoul.imeem.com/music/0rumHhWT/kim_jong_kook_sarang_su_roh_oohyoure_lovely/
Hmm… Who’s calling? I want to sleep!!!

My handphone screen displayed: Choi Siwon

“Yeoboseyo?” I said, more like whispering though.

“Kim Andee! Where are you? Why aren’t you in school? Yeoboseyo! Andee are you ok?”

“Siwon-ah… I’m not well...”

“What? You’re sick? Sorry to disturb. Get enough rest, ok? I’ll come by later to pass you your assignments from your favourite teacher. I think he misses you already… Hahaha…”

“Very funny, Siwon. What time is it now?”

“It’s already noon, my dear.”

“And on your way can u bring kimchi ramen. Haha... I know I’m sick but I cant help it! I’m craving for kimchi ramen.”

“No problem. See you later. An-nyeong…”

“Annyeong.”

I pressed the end call button and placed the phone on my night table. For a few seconds I stared at the ceiling. I can’t go on like this. Feeling miserable and crying all night till I got sick. Thank god the medicine Oppa gave me got rid of the high temperature. I got out of bed and head to the bathroom. Siwon should be here in about an hour’s time and I can’t be seen like this; with my unkempt hair and pajamas from the previous night.

“I feel refreshed!!” I screamed. My voice echoed through the whole empty house.

“Ding dong…” the doorbell rang..Ey… Who would that be?I was about to open the main door when it automated. The person behind it screamed.

“Noona! Why were you standing there? You shocked the hell out of me with that pale face of yours!”

“Yah! Hahaha… I was about to open the door for you, pabo!! And why are you back so early?”

“For my dear sister, I cancelled dance practice so that I can take care of you. And I also brought back porridge. You know what a good dongsaeng I am, don’t you?” Kibum smirked.

And you know how cute he looks every time he does that.

“Aww... That’s so sweet... I’m feeling better already. I don’t think I want to eat porridge today.”

“Yah!!”“Ok ok... Thanks for the porridge!” And I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Eww... Don’t ever do that again!”

And he ran off to his room…I stood there laughing...

“Ding dong…” goes the door bell again.Yah!! Who is it this time?

“Siwon!!!” I was practically jumping... Not because my best friend was there at the door but because he brought me kimchi ramen!!

“Parle parle! Open the door.”

“Ok ok... Please be patient.”

“I thought you were sick but you can still jump around and scream?!”

“Hehe... I got better in the past hour...”

“Whatever!”We both went to the kitchen and prepared the food.

“You have not taken lunch yet?”

“Nope. I wanted to accompany you eat.”

“Oh... KIBUM!! Come join us for lunch!!!”

“Coming!!”The three of us sat at the dining table. I shared my portion of the food with Kibum.

We ended up sharing the porridge too.

“Andee, why did you suddenly get sick?”

“Ya noona… You seldom get sick..”

I kept quiet and there was an awkward silence for a few seconds.

Siwon and Kibum looked at each other.

“Park Yoochun,” I suddenly said.

“Mo? Park Yoochun hyung? Why? What happened?”

“Who’s Park Yoochun?”

“He’s the guy your sister’s desperately in love with.”

I smacked his head that instance.

“He said he loved Jung Eum more than me. He said it last night.”

My voice started to tremble.

“He was the first guy I really liked. But..."

I quickly wiped my tears before it fell down my cheeks.Both of the guys kept quiet and listened…

“I was devastated last night. I cried myself to sleep. And the moment I woke up, I wasn’t feeling so well..."

Siwon and Kibum stood up and hugged me. Kibum on the left and Siwon on the right.

“Oh poor noona... Are u sure you’ll be ok?”

“I’m ok now... Guess there’s nothing to be sad about... He simply isn’t the one… Right?”

“Yup. There are more charming guys out there besides Yoochun hyung... You’ll get to meet him someday. Don’t be so sad ok? You still have us...”

“Thank you guys! Thank you Siwon, thank you Kibum..”

I embraced them both, as tightly as I could..

“Haiz…”

‘Stop sighing, will you?”

“Should I keep myself busy? Try out new things... So I won’t think too much?"

“Yeah you should. How about joining the school’s dance club? That should keep your mind off things and you can dance your heart out..."

“Yeah why not... I can dance right Kibum?"

“Haha… Yeah. Ji-hoon oppa can dance, so can I… But… It has been years since I last saw you move. Hmm... Since the Britney craze, I think. You only know how to dance to Britney’s songs... Lol...”

Beep. Beep.

“Noona, isn’t that your phone?”

“Hmm... My phone? Ouh..”

New message received: Micky Yoochun“Hi. I didn’t see you in school today. Is everything ok?”

“Siwon-sshi.” I pass him my phone.

“Mo? What’s with your phone?”

“Speak of the devil. Read the message. What should I say?”

“Erm…” Soon he was typing away on my phone.

It took him a few seconds to pass me the phone back with the message on the screen: “Talk to you next week when I see you in school, aight? Bye.”

“I should just talk to him face to face on Monday. I can’t pretend that I’m okay with everything.”

“Yup, you should. You only have 2 months to bear. After that he’ll graduate.”

Siwon left an hour later. Kibum and I decided to laze around and watch some dvds.

“Noona, omma and appa are coming back this weekend right?"

“Yeah, oppa said they have contacted him and they should be on the 9am flight back home on Sunday.”

“cool!”
