Not Him
27
Slowly Hyunjin opened her eyelids which felt very heavy. The girl dispelled the dazzling sunlight with the back of her hand. His eyes were fixed on his palm which was still wrapped in a white-striped brown knitted glove Donghae gave him last night. He smiled at a glance remembering the name. Finally the figure of Donghae that he knew first has returned.
Hyunjin glanced towards the waker clock on her bedside table. But for a moment his eyes instantly widened.
“MWORAGO?” he immediately woke up knowing it was now 9 am. What time did he sleep last night?
Something wet fell from his forehead. Turns out a small towel, seems to have been used to compress.
“ya! why are you shouting Choi Hyunjin?” someone walked into his room, making Hyunjin instantly turn towards the door.
“oemma why not wake me up? I'll be late for college.” Hyunjin rushed to snatch the towel and was about to leave her room towards the bathroom.
“isn't it Sunday? You didn't go to college on Sunday, did you?” the mother's words immediately made him stop on the spot.
“oh yes, I forgot.” Hyunjin patted her forehead while grinning. He immediately returned to his bed and lay down again. I don't know why he feels so sleepy.
Hyunjin's mother walked up to her daughter, then felt her forehead slowly, “your fever has gone down. You rest, don't leave the house.” Hyunjin just nodded obediently.
“where did you go until last night? Good thing Donghae drove you home, otherwise oemma will scold you this time.”
“I just took a short walk, then accidentally met Donghae on the road.”
“ya already then. Oemma and Appa want to go to your uncle's house. If you want to eat, everything is ready at the dining table.” Again Hyunjin just nodded in response to his mother's words.
“then Minho where?” hyunjin asked suddenly as her mother almost stepped out.
“ia is in her room, playing Playstation.”

Hyunjin walked into the dining room, her stomach had been struggling to fill.
“noona is awake?” minho sounded as he opened the refrigerator door. Hyunjin just nodded, not wanting to say much today.
“so that's Lee Donghae? turns out hyung was good too.”
“mwo? Have you met him?”
Minho nodded, “nde, didn't he deliver noona home last night?”
Hyunjin paused for a moment, trying to remember. His head still feels heavy after sleeping long enough since last night. “right, but why do I not remember at all when I got home last night?”
“of course noona does not remember, noona will fall asleep. You're just bothering him, nonna. Donghae hyung has brought you home, and he has to carry you also to your room.”
“MWO?” Hyunjin shrieked loudly, making Minho have to cover his ears with both hands.
“what is it?” hyunjin cheeks blushed red. ‘Why should I fall asleep anyway? Aigo.. must be very embarrassing.’ Thought Hyunjin while shaking her head.
“oh yes noona, you did not forget our bet? You lost a PS match to me, remember? It's been past a few days.” Minho glances cunningly.
Hyunjin snorted, This little sister can't understand her current state? ah, but doesn't Minho also have no idea what's going on with him? “Sorry, I forgot.”
“Yes! I've been busy lately.”Hyunjin tried to give up. This week, he was busy at school and working at a cafe. The cafe.. Ah, crap! He remembered Kyuhyun again.
“but you're not busy right now, are you? treat me to ice cream today.” Minho looked at him expectantly.
“today also I'm busy.” Hyunjin said, then sat down at the dinner table and started eating her food.
“ya! noona you can't behave like that. You promised.”
“you're like a child. If you want ice cream, you can buy it yourself.” Hyunjin squealed her food with annoyance at hearing the whining of her sister. ‘it was that big still behave childishly.’ His grunts in heart.
“but the taste will be different noona. eat ice cream with my own victory results will definitely taste better.”
“chi. Want with any taste of ice cream will still be the same.”
“Noona! You can't be careless..you're selfish.”.
“aish. nde, okay. I'll treat you later in the afternoon. You satisfied?” snapping Hyunjin was annoyed, Minho immediately smiled triumphantly.
“aku set the place.” exclaim Minho girang.
“it's up to you.” said Hyunjin did not care and continued eating.

“ya! you want to rob me of Minho-ya?” Hyunjin looked at the violent Minho. His sister had eaten 5 cups of ice cream with different flavors, and now he still wants to order again?
“doesn't noona promise to treat me?” minho asked back while spooning blueberry-flavored ice cream into his mouth.
“but not this much either, right? what is that stuff in your stomach? I just ate one cup has not run out since.”
“I deliberately haven't eaten since morning.”Minho smirked innocence, making Hyunjin glare even more sharply at his sister.
“aigo. my allowance will ludes because of you.” Decak Hyunjin shook his head. Minho looked like a ferocious monster that was devouring ice cream.
Tired of seeing her sister, Hyunjin decided to stare out the window, enjoying this cool afternoon. Seeing this ice cream shop made his mind drift into the atmosphere of the cafe which indirectly began to get him used to it. How many days has he not been to the cafe where he works? It's only been two days, and it feels like a long time. He met Kyuhyun last night, and now he misses him again?
‘Aigo. I have to check my health like that. My body is no longer fever but my brain is getting wrong.’ Hyunjin muttered inwardly.
Hyunjin's eyes caught the figure of someone outside the window, someone she seemed to know. He could not confirm that person because of the position of the person who was behind him.
“Minho you wait here yes, noona want to come out for a while.”
“tau where?” minho asked as Hyunjin was just about to stand up.
“just a minute, I'll be right back.”
Minho nodded, and Hyunjin immediately walked out of the ice cream shop.
