MY LOVE BLOSSOMS IN KOREA...!!

Chapter 20 (What's With Their Stares?)

Dusk in a cold autumn. All the trees seemed to change color beautifully. I don't know what the name of the tree that lined up neatly in the backyard garden of the house om Shoni.

The cold air is like piercing my bones. I think it's already very cold. Like being in an air-conditioned room five at a time. Don't forget I put on face cream so my skin doesn't get dry.

The wind adds to the coldness of the atmosphere. I'm probably the strangest creature here. Wear clothes that should be worn in the winter.

“Haisssh... Autumn is like cold what else is winter? Can freeze me to death,” whispered me in my heart while staring at the trees whose leaves ranum swaying following the wind.

“What's up, Ricka?” greet someone who surprised me. A tall figure in a plain white shirt and tiered bright purple-colored city-box stood beside me. I looked at her face from the side. Highlight his eyes straight facing forward as if showing off his nose.

“Sister Ji-Sung?” I was a little surprised.

“Did I surprise you?” ask and look at me.

“Ah... no, I happen to be daydreaming enjoying a very different weather from yesterday.” I smile as sweetly as possible. Then he grabbed my headgear and brought it closer to his face.

Degs... My heart stopped beating. At first glance he looks at me still with a smile that expands on his pink lips. I looked at him with both eyes wide. It felt warm both palms touching my right and left cheeks. He widened his smile.

“Cute...” exclaimed then slowly released both his hands.

“Cute…? Whatisit? Me...?” my question is in my heart.

“Ricka, isn't this your shirt supposed to be used in winter?” He looks at me funny.

“Aaah... I think it is now very cold,” I replied while closing my two hands forward.

“Not today we have an appointment?” Now he looks straight ahead.

“Ne..?” –I try to remember what promise it– “oh... learn?” I said full of happy expressions.

(Ne\=this word is commonly used to ask a little surprised for example "what?")

“Iya, can we start today?”

“Okeey...” I greeted her with great joy.

We walked to the middle room. It turns out that Ji-Sung has prepared all the Korean learning material books. There are about seven books now on the table. Just seeing it is quite burdensome to my eyes. I sat down in the living room listening to Brother Ji-Sung. Sometimes he asked me to write and model hangeul letters which to me was more difficult than the Javanese script. We were only half an hour learning. Suddenly Auntie Nari surprised us both.

“Ricka, Ji-Sung, emm... Auntie is sorry... Can you learn it upstairs? Soon Auntie's friends will be coming here. Fear you will be disturbed later learn,” said Aunt Nari with a slightly shy tone.

(Kwenchana\=it's okay)

“Ne…? In the upstairs room? Meaning room? The two with Ji-Sung? Just be right!” I shouted in my heart.

“Do you mind?” sak Ji-Sung asked looking at my exertion which might seem strange to him.

“Ah... no... no really....!” answer's dashed.

“Ah... no problem. After all, when I was in Indonesia, I was alone in a room with Kak Vishnu. No problem.” I said in my heart.

I try to be calm. We both walked up the stairs. I went up first and Brother Ji-Sung was behind me. But when I was in the middle of the stairs, suddenly the book I brought fell and made me surprised so spontaneously I collapsed backwards and….

Buug…. I fell right leaning on the body of Brother Ji-Sung who swiftly caught me. The book he was carrying fell down and both his hands touched my right and left upper arms. I'm surprised I'm not playing. Our views are converging. My eyes are round. He showed a surprised expression. For a second time it seemed to be going very slowly.

“Ah... I experienced it! It was like the drama series I had seen. Is.... does this feel like..?” whispered in my heart. My heart is beating faster. Full of gurgling and blaring. We were surprised by the sound of footsteps from the upper stairs.

Tap…

Me and Brother Ji-Sung immediately fixed the position. It turned out that the sound of footsteps was Yoon-Jin's voice, he stopped exactly one step higher than the one I was walking on.

His eyes made me feel wrong. Accompanied by a flat and cold expression added to my gelagat increasingly unpleasant. He just looked at me. I don't know what he's thinking. I tried to smile looking at him then lowered my head and set my feet towards the next step.

It turned out that at the end of the stairs there was also Yoon-Hee who looked at me and Brother Ji-Sung. His gaze upon me was like the gaze of a hungry bear staring at its prey. How frightening.

“Why is Yoon-Hee looking at me so seriously?” my question is in my heart.

He still sees me and the book I brought. I try to greet him with a smile.

“Yoon-Hee, what are you doing? Or maybe you want to help me learn Korean?” I try to be as friendly as possible.

“Mhian, I'm tired!” He responded with a jutek.

Then either by chance or not I saw a strange look between Yoon-Hee and Brother Ji-Sung. A look I find difficult to interpret. It didn't seem like the stare between sister and brother.

“Ah. Is Yoon-Hee jealous of me? They, right siblings?” I murmured in my heart.

Ji-Sung and I continued the study in the room. Brother Ji-Sung is a cool person, different from his appearance. As authoritative and wise, but when he began to know him, he was a man full of warmth.
