Chapter 12 (Date with Onew part 2)
Angel's POV
I finished the ice cream pretty fast. Maybe because of the super hot weather. I looked at Onew and he was still eating the ice cream.
"Gamsahamnida~" He bowed a little.
"Ani~ Its nothing." I replied back.
I looked out to the bridge signaling that we were already near the Han River. I looked over to the side walk and saw the blue waters. I smiled and remembered all those memories with Jonghyun oppa.
"What are you smiling at?" Onew asked.
"Its something to do with my childhood." I told him still looking at the water.
"What about it?" He asked.
"I remember me and oppa used to run around these side walks and hear umma say 'yah! you stubborn kids! get over here!'" I said imitating my mother's tone. "I grew up in the United States but I am still one hundred percent Korean." I looked up to Onew and saw him staring at me.
"Well, for one thing, you really don't look like your full Korean." He told me with his eyes roaming from my head to toe.
"I get that a lot." I told him. "Its just that it feels lonely with out Jonghyun oppa. Ever since I was a kid he had been the person I look up to. He was the person to protect me..." I trailed off. "Aside from Key oppa that is." I whispered.
WHAT?! Key?! What does he have to do with Angel's life?
"What does Key have to do with anything?" I asked her with a little bitterness in my voice. I hope she didn't notice that.
"Well... Key is my first guy friend. And well he's my bestfriend for that matter." She said.
"Oh..." Was all I could say.
"How'd you become a singer then Onew-shii?" She asked.
"SInce your my dongsaeng's dongsaeng, you can drop the honorifics and call me Onew-oppa or just plain oppa." I told her feeling weird that I did. I scratched the back of my head looking down to my feet.
"Do you think you're going to succeed with your plan?" I looked straight leaning onto the railing.
"Ani. E-errr. I still don't know. Maybe. Will you help me oppa?" I smiled a little when she called me "oppa" I just sounded sweet to my ears. This little angel knows how to charm me.
We walked through the sidewalk kicking gravel on our feet. It was quite silent for a while until I asked her where she wanted to go next.
"Where do you want to go next?" I asked her.
"Uhm... Where ever you want to take me to oppa." She said. I felt blushing on my cheeks.
"I guess I'll take you to my favorite places in Seoul." I said to her wanting more time to spend with her before going back to the dorm.
We first went to Namsan to take pictures since she brought her camera. There were other places we went to but there was one place I wanted to take her.
AISH! Why doesn't my sister's phone work!? I ruffled my hair in annoyance knowing noona will kill me for ruining my hair. But I couldn't help it. I couldn't call my sister to check up on her if she was alright or did she get lost or she got kidnapped. NO. Don't even go there Jjong. Yeeeesh~ Sometimes I think too much. Suddenly Key and Taemin walked in. I wondered where they were all day. I went out with Minho this morning because Hyung called us and said we had a schedule.
"YAH!" I shouted. "Have you seen my yodongsaeng? Do you know where my pretty Angel went?" I asked not bothering to take a short breath.
"Ani, hyung. I don't know where noona went. I guess she's with Onew-hyung." Taemin answered my question.
"YAH!" Key slapped my head from the back. "She's with Onew, you don't need to freak out. Hyung will take care of her." He said with a don't-worry-you-pabo-she-wont-get-hurt-even-if-you're-not-there look.
"Arraseo~" I told him. Trying to hide my panic. I still couldn't get over the fact that my sister is here and she's my responsibility now. If something happened to her Umma and Appa will skin me alive. Someone dare to touch one hair strand on my sister and I will break his/her finger.
I maybe over protective and all over my sister but that's because I love her so much and I don't want to get hurt. And the fact that I don't want to get skinned alive by my own parents.
"YAH! KIM JONGHYUN!!" Uh-oh~ I think noona saw the tragic state of my hair because she pulled on my ear dragging me back to the hair and make-up.
"OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! Noona let go! It hurts." I winced in pain and rubbed my ear.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to ruin your hair?" Key had started with his nagging. I wasn't listening to him because I was too busy searching for Onew-hyung's number and try to call him to make sure that my little Angel was alright.
"YAH! Kim Jonghyun! Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" Key was being... Well, Key. The Diva Umma of Shinee.
"NO. Not really." I answered him bluntly.
"How dare you?" He was now infuriated with me. I knew I'd get punished by Key umma but honestly I didn't care. All I cared about is the wellbeing of my sister.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I shooed him away and pressed the green button on my phone to call hyung.
His phone rang and I just kept taking pictures.
"Yobeoseyo?" "Neh~" He looked at me and smiled. "Neh" "Neh" "Neh annyeong." Is what I heard from the conversation between Oppa and the person in the other line.
"Who was that?" I asked him curiously.
"It was your brother." He said.
"What did he want?" I asked.
"He just asked if you were with me. If your alright and if we were going to the set later on." He answered my question.
"Ohhh~ Okay then." I checked my watch and it was already twelve noon. Time for lunch.
"Say Angel, would you-" He stopped for a second. "-like to have lunch with me now?" He added.
"Uh..." It took me a few seconds to realize what he just said and it sunk in me. I blushed and looked away before he could notice. My heart was beating frantically. Since I couldn't say a word I just nodded.
We talked over lunch. I got to know him more after eating lunch. I took a lot of pictures. I even took a snap shot of him when he wasn't looking. He looked so handsome and perfect. At one moment, I couldn't stop staring at his pink lips. I blinked three times and looked away before he even noticed it. We took a cab to N Soul Tower. I wondered why we were heading there though.
I was taking a pictures of the lovepadlocks that were attached to the fences around N Soul Tower when I felt someone wrap his arms around my waist. I was startled and spun around to look for the culprit. It was Onew-oppa.
"Yah, oppa. What are you doing?" I whispered.
"Wae? Can't I hug you?" He asked smiling in my hair.
"Ani. Its just that there are a lot of people here. And I kind of think its dangerous for you to do this is public." I whispered to his ears.
"Have you thought about it already?" He asked.
"Thought about what?" I asked confused.
"The stuff I said after dinner. Before you fainted." he said. I frowned not knowing what he was talking about. I looked up and said "Uh..."
"Shhh. Its okay. I'll only say this once so you better listen..." He trailed off and continued. "Saranghae my beautiful Angel."
My eyes widened and buried my head in his chest trying to hide my flushed cheeks and smiling face. He cupped my chin and held it so that I could look up to him. He leaned down and before I knew it his lips touched mine. His soft pink lips felt like silk and tasted sweet.
