It was late March now and you had been living with your cousin Hana and her two children, the twins, since you left the city. You sat outside at the end of the pier, thinking of nothing but the wind as it briskly flung itself against your face. It was nice compared to the city. The whole living in the country side was exactly what you needed. Free space and peacefulness filled in for all the moments you were alone. When you first moved in it had been slightly difficult to adjust to. At night it was absolutely silent compared to the hustle and bustle of the typical city night life. For the first two or three nights it seemed lonely, you almost missed to loud noise being there to lull you to sleep. But you were used to it by the fourth night though. You were instantly pulled out of your thoughts when Mun Hee and Myung Hee, the twins, glomped you from behind. "______!" They cheered as they clung to you, happy to be home from school. Laughing, you moved to escape their holds and stood up. You smiled brightly at the small children in front of you. "Hey you two! How was school?" You asked while ruffling Mun Hee's hair, earning yourself a growl from the young boy. "Good~" Myung Hee replied as she tucked her silky brown hair behind one of her ears, looking up at you with innocent chocolate colored eyes. "And what about you?" You questioned Mun Hee. "Break any girls' hearts with that adorable face of yours?" "Ani, I don't talk to girls. They have cooties." He replied firmly. His tone was so serious it almost made you want to laugh. Almost. "Liar! I saw you talk to Soo Jin a lot today! And the day before, and the before that, and so on!" Myung Hee accused, causing a cat fight between the two. You gently pulled them away from each other while laughing. "Myung Hee you're not supposed to rat on your brother, the two of you need to stick together, okay?" Both of them nodded at you. You already knew they'd use that against you sooner or later. Taking both of their hands, you started walking back down the pier to the house. "Let's go see what umma made for dinner, ne?" At the mention of food, they raced down the rest of the pier and into the house while you took your time to walk the rest of the way. When you finally reached the house, Hana was waiting for you with a smile. "What's up?" You asked, smiling back at her. "Well actually..." She drawled out her words "I was wondering if you'd be willing to baby sit the twins until next Sunday. I have to go to a few meetings in the States. Oh, and they really want to see the city lights, so who better to take them to the city than you right?" At the mention of the city, everything rushed back to the front of your mind like a fresh smack to the face. Kyung, the girl, the stairwell, your whole relationship was brought back to your attention again. Hesitantly, you nodded with a suddenly fake smile. "Fine by me, we'll have a blast!" You cheered with a voice made up of truth and a bit of regret. But just a bit. Hana smiled and hugged you. "Thanks! Dinner is on the stove, I'm trusting you know how to set plates up? If so then you're all good for tonight." You laughed and nodded "Of course. And no problem, we'll miss you~" "I'll miss you guys too. Have fun~!" Hana called back before getting in her already packed car and driving off with a wave in your direction. After getting your shoes and jacket off inside, you placed the prepared food onto three plates. Taking three trips to bring the plates and silverware to the table, you finally were finished setting everything up. "Dinner's done!" You called out before sitting down. After everyone finished dinner, you helped the twins with their homework before sending them off to bed. You sighed happily at the quietness, for 4th graders they sure had quite a lot of homework. When you were still in school you didn't even have to learn the stuff they were doing until 5th grade. It made you realize how much things have changed since then. While washing the dirty dishes from the day, you were startled when your phone started ringing. You grabbed the dish towel off the back of a chair and dried your hands. As you picked up your phone, you checked the caller I.D. 'Minhyuk Lee' He was the only one you'd given your number to before leaving the city. It was pretty much, in his mind, his life duty to make sure to call you every single day. "Annyeong oppa~" you answered the call happily. "______~ What you up to?" Minhyuk asked from the other end. "Just washing dishes. Nothing special. What about you?" "Just walking around the streets because there's nothing else to do." You giggled into the phone. "Oh, that reminds me. I'll be in the city for the weekend with my little cousins. Would you like to join us?" "Of course! Text you later though, gotta find my way back to the dorm." "Arasso. Annyeong Minhyukkie oppa~" you laughed and quickly hung up, not wanting him to yell at you for calling him 'Minhyukkie'. Yawning, you turned out all the lights. You locked the front door and flopped onto the same beige couch cushions you've slept on for the past few weeks. You pulled the blanket over yourself and slowly drifted off to sleep. This was gonna be a long weekend. --------------------To Be Continued-------------------- So I decided to make this into 3 parts. Surprise~? ~Kendra
