Circular patterns that continue to be around us ...
It didn't feel like H-2 was Jo's senior sports game, and I was still with him in training. Today I came earlier than usual, I want to see little flowers blooming around the basketball court. It's been almost 45 minutes I waited but senior Jo didn't come too, he didn't call me either. Did he forget? The period of the day when eating chicken in our restaurant exchanged phone numbers, and the contents of our chat was just a matter of practice schedule.
I check my phone over and over again, not usually senior Jo like this. I tried to call him but it was not lifted, I called him 4 times and now it has been 1 hour. I decided to come back because there will be classes later. On my way back to class, my phone rang, I saw it was from senior Jo.
"Hello?" said senior Jo
"Hello .." I replied
"I'm sorry I just saw a cell phone, I can't tell you today skip practice ..."
"That's it."
"Are you coming to the basketball court."
"That's how .. I waited an hour more."
"Sorry .. I'm sorry. I'm in the dorm now, sorry I didn't tell you because it was sudden."
"It's okay."
"I want to .. You come to my game the day after tomorrow."
"I'll definitely come, don't worry and just focus on training."
"Ah .. yes."
"...."
"...."
What kind of conversation is this! Why is it so awkward? On the other side he was silent, too, it was true. Better to meet in person, if this is not good.
"Senior ... I have to go to class."
"Ah, okay. I'll also be practicing ..."
"Yes, I've been telling you ..."
"Wait on! Will you have extra class later tonight?"
"No, why?"
"Let's meet, I want us to visit the usual comic rental place."
"Are you not busy?"
"Tonight alone .. before the game."
"... Alright."
"Thank you Vivi."
"Together seniors."
Guessing from his senior voice Jo sounded happy, today he must have spent training for the night we met before the game. Compared to the first meeting now senior Jo has a lot of development and better. Senior Nam also said he did not close himself again, he was no longer as alone as before, support also came a lot for him.
.....
The last class wasn't so boring but for some people who didn't like literature class it would definitely fall asleep, like Sora is now. Some friends also fell asleep, some noticed and recorded the material, the rest were busy themselves what was done. Sunlight slowly sank and now the moon took its place. The night breeze closed the last class today, I checked my phone and there was a message coming in from Jo's senior, he said he was waiting for me at a stop near the school.
I almost forgot to wake up Sora who was asleep, Sora looked very tired I think it's only natural, yesterday he performed a dance competition in Daegu. Sora's eye bags began to appear, very clearly when viewed up close. Sora went home with Senior Nam, they headed for a different stop so that the return route was not complicated.
"Sora!"
"Yes?"
"Will you accompany me to Jo's senior game?"
"of course! I'll take Oppa too!"
"You mean Taeyong Oppa?" ask me while joking
"Hmp! Yes I'll take Taeyong! And all the NCT members! Satisfied??"
"I'm just kidding, ehehehe."
Me, Sora and Senior Nam left the school together, and at the stop was already sitting senior Jo waiting for me.
"I'm first."
"Take care Vivi" said Sora
"You're also~ Bye bye!"
"Bye~"
I walked over to senior Jo, senior Jo stood up to greet me. It feels like he has not seen it for a long time, his hair style is also different. The top of her ears was shortened again, she wore a casual suit with neon-striped grey MLB shoes and a black Hoodie jacket combined with a white striped t-shirt and black jeans. The look tonight is very monochrome and looks simple, he smiled at me I also returned his smile.
"Senior today looks handsome! And also dressed neatly I also want to dress neatly!"
"Would I take you home first?"
"Yes! I don't want to look like a schoolboy! Senior will stop by my house and meet my Eomma, because at this hour Appa usually hasn't come home."
"All right."
Not long after the bus came to us, besides us there were also some children from our school who took the bus with us as well. On the bus, I sat by the window and senior Jo beside me. The trip to my house on the bus was not so long, only a few minutes had arrived at the stop near my house. At this stop we were both down, from the stop to my house was about 50 meters away. I'm used to walking when I leave or go to school by bus.
Senior Jo walked to my right, because we walked on the left side of the sidewalk into a senior position like a bodyguard. Shortly after, we arrived at my house. Looks like Appa's car is home, but my Appa hasn't left the office. My small Eomma shop is still open and will soon be closed, in front of the driver Han is tidying up the potted plants.
"Hello sir Han! I'm home!" I'll take my hand to driver Han
"Miss Aigoo is home! Why don't you call me, I'll pick you up."
"It's okay! I got on the bus accompanied by my senior. Oh yes, this is senior Jo ..."
"Hello boy! What's yourname?" ask driver Han to senior while shaking hands.
"My name is Jo Eunbyul sir, nice to meet you."
"No need to be so disinclined! I'm Han's driver, Miss Kim's driver. I'm also happy to meet you boy!"
"We're going in, sir. Eomma's inside?"
"Ah yes, Madam is inside preparing a meal for Miss."
"Together Miss."
Senior Jo bowed respectfully to sir Han as well as to Mr. Han who returned his greetings. The two of us walked into the house, the lights were still on and my Eomma silhouette came from the kitchen and went to the dining table to prepare food.
"Eomma~ I'm home~"
"My dear is home. Oho! Who's that dear?" My Eomma expression was surprised and a little curious because I came with senior Jo
"Eomma .. introduce this is senior Jo."
"Hello Aunt, my name is Jo Eunbyul I am a senior from 3A. Nice to meet Aunt." Senior Jo greeting while bowing in greeting
"Halooo Eunbyul I'm Vivi's Eomma, Auntie is also happy to meet you."
"G ... Vivi immediately changed clothes and ate, Eomma has prepared food. Eunbyul you eat here too."
"Eomma we'll be out for a while ..."
"It's okay, eat first. You will not be hungry anymore. Come sit!"
"No need to bother Auntie, thank you very much."
I headed to my room to change clothes, and senior Jo came to set the dining table with Eomma. I'm getting ready to date with senior Jo even though it's not really worth mentioning the date because we're just visiting our subscription comic rental place. Just spend time reading comics and joking around. No need to make-up just natural with tone up cream and also natural pink liptint. I also only wear blue baggy jeans and a short maroon flannel shirt, not forgetting to carry a small bag. For the hair just a little trim, and I tie it to look fresh.
I went downstairs and found the dining table neatly arranged, senior Jo had also sat down to get ready to eat. My Eomma sits where my Appa usually sits. I sat opposite senior Jo, right in front of senior Jo sitting.
"Good meal ...!" I said while taking the chopsticks
"Good meal ..."
That night was the first time I ate with Eomma and senior Jo at one dining table. After we finished eating, we helped Eomma clean the dining table.
"You should leave now so you don't come home late."
"But ..."
"Aunty Eun Eomma will also be monitoring the store before it closes."
"Arasseoyo~"
"Be careful, dear!"
Me and the senior stepped out of the house, and continued on to the comic rental place. Senior looked happy after dinner, when I went to the room there must have been something discussed with Eomma right?
"Missing ..."
"Yes?"
"So, senior and Eomma are talking about anything?"
"Hmm ..normal, where I live, how old I am, what my parents do, the number of brothers ... Yes that is."
"Nothing special?"
"There was. But hahaha's secret."
"Mwoy? I'm curious too."
"This is secret!"
We have arrived at the comic rental place, the owner of the store has already memorized with us because we often come here. Since it was already night there were only a few people reading in most rented places to read at home. At first me and senior took a different hallway, he was in the action hallway and I was in the horror aisle. But after I looked around I got bored and moved into the senior action hall.
Senior stood there and seemed to focus on reading one comic book. I approached him, and reading the title of his book turned out to be reading the Magic Michiru comic. It seems that seniors love the genre of sci-fi, fantasy and action. He glanced at me who saw him and smiled.
"Let's sit down. Where's your book?"
"I read Detective Conan."
"All right ..."
This is not a name for dating, it is not. Where there is dating in a comic rental place like this and read each comic. Ah by the way I haven't read Detective Conan in a long time so it's exciting again, like refreshing.
"Vivi ..."
Senior Jo's voice jolted me a little because I was focused on reading comics. It seems I'm the one who likes this kind of dating ....
"Shocked huh? I want to give you something."
Senior Jo pulled something out of his jacket pocket, like a small box of off white and marked with "Vera Wang". Senior took my hand and placed the box on top of mine.
"Open up ..."
"This is for me?"
"So try to open it ..."
I opened the little box and it turned out that there was a white gold necklace inside. The chain design is like a double rope and the toy is shaped Yin Yang symbol. I was silent for a moment, is this real? It is expensive ...
"That's a gift for you, I want you to wear it."
"Really?"
"Sure! The design I ask for is special, Yin and Yang are in humans. In Hapkido the balance of harmony is paramount, I hope you are happy. It's not much ..."
Not how much he said ... An emperor is different. I was reluctant to accept it because I knew it was expensive but she said she asked for a special design for me.
"No need to worry ... I'll put it on for you."
"Ah .. yes thank you senior."
It's not that I don't look enthusiastic just this little ...
He took her necklace and put it on my neck. He is definitely not the type of person who is royal with new people, I also heard from senior Nam that senior Jo does not carelessly see and befriend people. This is the first time, my face feels hot and blushed. Finished putting on the necklace, senior Jo stood beside me who was still sitting. He smiled and suddenly ...
So fast that I didn't realize it. Senior Jo kissed my cheek! Damnit damnit! My hot face must look red!
"Vivi ... Maybe we will not meet again. I can't promise to stay close to you, but I promise I'll come back if I leave. This necklace is the only one with a design like this, if later I go continue to wear this necklace, so I can find you."
"Senior what does ..."
Senior hugged me and fell silent, at a time like this he really needed support. In the game I will definitely come. And I'll make sure my senior Jo doesn't go away and disappear. This necklace I will continue to wear and I hope that if senior Jo disappears, I will wait for her.
I promise ...
