Today...we're making kimchi. We finished about all of the cabbages and we had leftover sauce.

Mom told me and Cindy to gives the extras to the neighbors and some to our individual friends nearby.

I rolled the baby stroller with Eun Cho in it. He's still sleeping...

Cindy was all happy again. I guess she forgot about what happened yesterday.

"Oppa, we have to stop at my friend's house! He's visiting for the summer!" Cindy 'fangirls'. I groaned. Many of her friends aren't really friends. They're mostly foreigners who came to Seoul to visit as an exchange student.

"Who is this guy?" I asked in annoyance.

"I don't know how to say his name..." She pouts.

...then why the fuck are you visiting him...?

I groan more. "You are just like grandma..."

"Is not!"

"Is too."

"Is not!!"

"Is too..."

...

We came to their apartment and got off of the elevator. Cindy skips to their door and I waited nearby. Eun Cho wakes up and starts to whimper.

"Come on, Eun Cho...shhhh..." I pick him up from his seat and hold him. "Ssshhh, you're going to disturb everyone..."

"Oh, who are you?"

I turned and looked at the distant voice. Cindy smiles at the blonde man.

The...manager....

He's taller than Cindy. Cindy just simply waved and smiled, "Anyoung haseyo, my family were making kimchi and we had leftovers. I wanted to give some to...uhhh...." She covers her face. "I don't know how to say his name properly."

Manager nods, "Jeremy, right?"

Cindy nods, "Yes! Jeremy! His name is hard for me to say..."

Manager smiles at the corners of his lips, "You'll get used to it. Jeremy!! There's a girl here!"

"WHAT!"

"THERE'S A GIRL HERE!!"

"HOLD ON, I'M PUTTING MY-"

"SHE BROUGHT KIMCHI!"

"I'M PUTTA MAH PANTS ON!" Speaking english...

This...this is where Hidemi's staying...so...!!

Jeremy comes on, his green beanie isn't on straight neither is his hair...

"Cindy! Sup!" Jeremy leans on the door frame. Manager stares at both of them.

Cindy 'can't' help but to blush and act all...that.

"Hi!" She chuckles. "Do you want some kimchi?"

Jeremy smiles, "Aw! Really? Thank you!"

They exchange.

This Jeremy looks like Cindy's age. He must be a player...

Cindy smiles and keeps on...talking. "How have you been? I haven't spoken to you since-"

"Yeah, since you met with CUPCAKE and me, hehe." Jeremy is playing it off.

Manager groans and walks inside the darkness.

They keep on talking and talking.

Wait...how did they meet? They only time I saw Jeremy is when I saw him coming for CUPCAKE and Cindy saw CUPCAKE and I had to push her inside of the car...WHAT?!

"Cindy!" I scream out to her in a shrill. "Let's go now!"

Cindy pouts and looks at Jeremy, "B-Bye, Jeremy!" She waves and runs back to me and Eun Cho.

Jeremy waves goodbye. Before he could close the door...

"I'm leaving, bye..." His voice...

Jeremy moves to the side and opens the door. Hidemi is on view. He has a camera bag, he's wearing a blue, silver gray and white zip up hoodie with his buckle back hat.

He looks at Jeremy, "Where did you get the kimchi?" He's speaking english to him.

Jeremy smiles, "A girl that came up to us when we were spying on your boyfriend and you at the park!"

"What?" Hidemi groans and lifts his glasses to wipe. "That's nice I guess, but I don't have a boyfriend...."

"Haha, righhhtttt." Jeremy goes inside and yells inside.

Hidemi sighs and closes the door. We...we made eye contact.

He smiles slightly with his tired eyes and waves. Hidemi...then turned away and goes to the elevator.

"Oppa!" Cindy calls out for him.

Hidemi turns at looks. "Oh..."

"Can we join you? This elevator is taking so long to come!" Cindy smiles.

...we haven't pressed the button to go down...why are you?!

Hidemi shrugs, "I don't know if it will fit us all-"

"It's okay! I'll wait, just take my two cousins!" She points at Eun Cho and I.

I covered my face. Eun Cho was trying to take my hand off of my face.

Hidemi nods, "You want to bring him over..." He goes into the elevator.

Cindy runs over to me and takes the stroller. "Come on! You two go first, I'll come soon!"

I looked down, Hidemi was staring right at me.

Onggg~

The door closes.

We...we were quiet for awhile.

Hidemi reaches into his back pocket and takes out earphones and place them in his ear. He plays music.

We...we don't talk.

...

Onggg~!

He looks at me. I wait.

We stay.

"Hey..."

I turned at looked him. "H-Huh?"

"...do you want to go first?" He touches the stroller. "Do you want me to roll it out for you?"

I nod.

Hidemi moves the stroller and brings it out. He turns around and looks at me. "Are you going to come out?"

I nod and quickly come out. Eun Cho starts drool.

"Gwahhh..." Eun Cho smacks my face with his wet fingers.

"What--Eun Cho! That's gross...." I slide him up and wipe my face. I look at Hidemi.

He...he's just staring. "I should go, I need to work."

"W-Work?" I blurted out.

Hidemi turns around and looks at me.

I covered my mouth. C-Crap, why did I say that out loud...

He smiles nervously and shrugs, "Just for the week before I leave."

ONGGG~

I looked to my left, Cindy just came off of the other side of the elevator. She skips over with a smile.

"Hmmm~ Jeremy oppa is so cutee!" Cindy 'fangirls'. "Eh? Where's that oppa?"

I turned back. Hidemi was gone from sight. I didn't even to get to say thank you.

"He...he went to work..." I put Eun Cho in the stroller. "Let's go..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything...everything is different.

We can't talk normally together. Things...are different.

"Oppa?" Cindy calls for me. "I asked you if you wanted tteokbokki, do you want to get some?"

I shook my head, "Grandma was going to make them after kimchi. Let's just go back."

"Hmm...fine." Cindy pouts.

...

"Oppa..."

"What?"

"What is his name again? He was the one who came over, right?" Cindy blushes slightly. "He's so cool looking and hot~!"

I hit her head. "His name is Jinki Hidemi and you're being creepy."

Cindy pouts and crosses her arms. "Jinki oppa is cuter than Jeremy oppa...hmm, I don't know which to choose!!" She screams in happiness.

"Why are you talking like you're in an otome game?"

She sighs, "It's only the prologue of the game! Ahh~ They will fall for me and it will a love triangle!"

"Get away from me...."

"Waaahhh! Oppa, don't leave me behind!"

...

"Oppa."

"What do you want now?" I glared at her, "You're getting annoying now."

"My mom told me that you have a lover~"

...UGH...AUNTY!!!

I walked faster with the stroller.

OH MY GOD!!

"Hey~ Oppa!!" She runs for me.

PUNCH!

"Gwah!" I stopped. I forgot that she throws good punches...

I squat and hold my back. Ow ow ow....

She smiles cheeky. "Hehe, so who is she?" She bends down to my level. "Is she really pretty?"

"Who cares, why did aunty tell--"

"No, she said it was a boy you were into." Cindy smiles more. "...you're gay?"

I get up and run.

...

Crap. I forgot Eun Cho in the stroller!!!

How do I even get back to the apartment? Ugh, my stupid actions...

I'm not gay. Don't bring that up. Stop it.

S...stop bring it up....

"Excuse me, you're in the shot."

I looked up. A guy with dark gay with silver highlights looks at me.

"I'm sorry." I bowed and tried to leave.

When I tried to leave, there were cameras everywhere, lights and many people.

"Sir, please come this way to--" A lady tries to help me. But...

"Hyun Oh? Wait wait, hold up." Someone stops the lady. I turned around.

Fuck.

It's Hidemi.

"I thought you were going back to your grandparents' house." He looks worried and frustrated.

"I-I--" I tried to speak.

"Hey! Hidemi-ah! We have to get back to the shooting!" A man shouts.

Hidemi groans, "Just go." He tells me and looks at the lady. "Please led him out." He tells her in korean.

...

As from afar, I could see the crew working.

So...this is his job...

There's makeup artists, staff, camera crew and backup, etc.

But he's just doing that for a week. He must be working hard just for this...

They're just at a cafe and there are idols. 5 of them, at most. I spot Hidemi sometimes but he would disappear easily into the group.

...

"Oppa!"

Ugh...

I looked to my left, Cindy was pouting, Eun Cho had fallen asleep with drool stains coming down his chin.

"Oppa, you shouldn't leave a girl alone! You know I can't handle Eun Cho alone!" She sits next to me on a bench.

I looked back to the crew. Cindy looks, "Huh?! No way...that's REX!!" Cindy jumps and holds her cheeks.

"Ayah! Cindy, stop it now!" I grabbed her wrist. "You're causing--"

Someone pops from the side and looks at us. He's a bit short with a baby face, his red hair stands out. He waves with a smile.

"Kyaaa!" Cindy covers her face and jumps. "I can't believe Teddy-bear waved at me!"

wHO THE HELL IS TEDDY-BEAR?! THAT LITTLE BOY?!

"Would you stop shouting? They're filming..." I dragged her down to the bench to make her sit.

She couldn't hold her 'fangirling' spirit, she took her phone out and started to record.

"Be quiet! I want to put this on my blog!" Cindy starts to record.

Ugh...seriously? What cousin I have...

...

They start to disband and pack things to put into a van. The idols are quickly driven to their destination.

"I really want to follow them! No no no, I can not." Cindy holds her excitement in. "Hey! Isn't that oppa that you brought home?"

I looked.

I see Hidemi putting a camera in a camera bag. The camera bag he brought...

A staff worker starts to talk to him. He nods and they scurry away. Hidemi puts the camera bag strap around his shoulder and starts to head for the van.

...he spots us.

Hidemi quickly looks around and tells the same staff worker something. He quickly runs up to us.

"Anyoung," He waves his hand at us.

I wave back. My cheeks are burning my face off...

Cindy smiles, "Anyoung haseyo." She bows slightly. "Hey...are you the one who came last night for dinner?"

Hidemi nods. "Yes, I did." He smiles softly. "I forgot to say thank you to your cooks."

Cindy chuckles, "Ah--don't worry, I'll tell them directly!"

I didn't dare to look at him. We stayed quiet for awhile.

"Hidemi-ah! We have to leave now!" The staff worker calls.

Hidemi calls back and looks at us. "Bye. Um...Hyun Oh..."

I looked up, "Y-Yes!"

Hidemi looks tired and stressed out. "I'll...I'll see you back in Tokyo. 'Kay?"

"Tokyo?"

He nods, "I won't be able to social with anyone because of work, so I'll see you when you get back to Tokyo."

The staff worker calls for Hidemi again.

"I'm coming!" He yells. "Agh--Bye!" Hidemi turns back.

That means...we won't be able to talk until I get back...and...I won't be able to tell him things-!!

"Hidemi!!" I yelled.

Hidemi turns back. He's already close to the work area....

"You....you better text me or else!!!" My...my cheeks are burning. I can't help it.

Hidemi puts his thumb up and waves good bye. His neutral face that was looking at me.

As he went into the van, a grin came on.

I covered my face.

God...why did I do that...

Cindy chuckles. I looked at her.

"Oppa...is he the one?" I could see her covering her smile.

I groan and take the stroller in hand and start to head back to our grandparents'.

"Haha, so it is him? I bet that you two will make a good couple!"

I pout. "I'm not gay..."

Cindy laughs in an odd manner, "HAHAHA! I'm going to join the bet! I bet that you two will come together in a month!"

"PFT-WHAT?!"
