Han Bi's POV

I came home at last, still flushed all over. I said 'thank you't to ahjussi for driving me home safely and not getting caught by any student. The only thing that kept on lingering my mind since that past thirty minutes is the kiss that made me feel uncomfortable all over.

I'm seriously NOT overreacting.

But let's face it, if you're one of Seokjin's fangirls, you would probably think I'm lucky and shoot daggers at me which is true, of course, if you like him. Well, I don't. I hate him, right? Did I forget about that?

I shook off my thoughts and walked to our mansion's door.

I got in and my mom welcomed me with a sweet smile. It seems like she's excited of something. "Han Bi! I was waiting for you!" She cheerfully said and tackled me in a hug. "Your father's calling, you can talk to him on phone. He needs to tell you something."

My face lit up. "He's calling? Wait, where's oppa?"

"He's finding a job for summer. Hurry up and get to the phone, your dad's waiting for you." Eomma gave me a toothy smile. I smiled back, excited.

And wait, just what did eomma say?

My brother is applying for a job? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I think he's probably finally tired of being a lazy ass.

I immediately walked to the landline, dropping my bag in the couch. I eagerly picked up the phone. "Ah, appa! How are you? How is everything?" I asked spontanouesly. He chuckled on the other line.

"Wow, slow down missy. I'm fine, everything's fine. How about you? How's school? I'll be back in just a short period of time." He said.

"Ah, school's fine. I made new friends. Oh by the way, eomma told me that you wanted to tell me something." I asked.

"You're going out of town to your grandparents' and you're going to live with them for a week. You missed them don't you? We want you to have an experience of living in there.  The rest of us can't come but we're planning to visit them next month with all of us." He explained.

I can't believe it. I'm getting so excited! Summer is going to start so well, I bet. A week is just a part of the summer vacation anyway, who knows what will happen for the rest of the vacation?

"Ah really, appa! That's the best, Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to it." I said enthusiastically. Just wait for one week, Han Bi.

School went by fast. The Love project got postponed. I haven't talked that much to Hanna or anyone else... especially Seokjin. He clearly has no attempts of approaching me anyway, so what's the point?

And if he actually tries approaching me, I might chicken out.

I was still very curious and extremely nervous who that new Taejun student will be. It's so coincidental if it's the jerk I used to know, I hope it's not.

When the day finally ended, I immediately made my way out but Seokjin blocked my way. Everytime I see his face I get reminded of everything that had happened yesterday. I mean come on, you think it's not that bad? Why? Because you're one of Seokjin's fans?

WELL, this just means you're going through the wrong path.

No kidding, like him all you want. You're still making the wrong decision though.

"Hi." He simply said. "You didn't talk to me today."

I wanted to say, 'What do you think, idiot? You really think I will talk to you like you didn't kiss me yesterday? Hell no.' but I didnt.

"So? You're just someone in the crowd who I don't like to see." I replied and he was silent. I looked up to him but he was facing away and cleared his throat.

"I'm confessing. It makes me feel unhappy how you didn't talk to me today. I want you to talk to me." His tone was different when he said that.

My mind: WOW REALLY ARE YOU A MASOCHIST AND DO YOU JUST WANT TO GET A PIECE OF HAN BI'S JUDO SKILLS?!
My heart: Why does he sound so sweet when he said that? O///O
My blood: I dunno, but I'm just transporting important substances to the different parts of Han Bi's body OwO
Other parts of my body: I dunno either, just keepin' Han Bi alive OWO

Well how surprising, since my heart dominates all of the others' reactions.

"You're kidding." I rolled my eyes. "Why am I wasting my time on you?" I insolently continued with a scoff.

"You don't have to be like that, I know it's the kiss.. the kiss why you don't want to talk to me." He smirked. I shook my head and clenched my fist, facing the ground.

"You really want to know why I don't want to talk to you? Is this like telling me to remind you everyday of how much I hate you? Still, you know how much I do, right? But why are you still everywhere huh? And why the hell did you kiss me?"

I felt his hand lift my chin to look at him. He grinned.

"I'm thinking that to myself too. Dork appearance, unstylish eyeglasses, peculiar hairstyles and unpleasant guts. Why do I still talk to you? Why do I still watch you from afar? Why did I kiss you? I don't even know it myself." He said.

"It was just probably you, Han Bi-ah, and your so called effect. It got the best of me." His tone was gentle when he said these words.

I was in a trance and can't stop staring at him when he said that. I feel like these words told me that I probably did mean something to him other than some girl who just hates him.

"Let's come into an agreement. That kiss didn't mean anything. The 'effect' I was talking about was just a made-up," I chuckled.

"There's no such thing as an 'effect' of someone to someone unless there's a special connection between people. So, that basically means there's no such thing between the two people." I said, but it doesn't seem like he's putting in his mind what I said.

He poked my forehead. "Did you just make things obvious with what you said?" He said smiling. "What?"

"There's a special connection between the two of us," He said, pointing to me then at him. "Apparently, it's called hate. That's why you have an effect on me.. simple as that, dummy." He tapped my head and went off.

Oh well, that's weird.. but completely true.

"You better not forget anything." Oppa said, leaning on the wall. I rolled my eyes at him. "I will never forget anything, okay? Why does this need to be an issue everytime we travel, seriously?" I sighed as I complained.

"Oh because you forget lot of things and don't pack up stuff. You even forget the most important things! You even forget your clothes once and you have to borrow clothes from mom. What if she's not there?" He scolded.

I scoffed and struggled zipping my luggage closed. "Stop nagging. I'm sure that after I get in the van, you're going to miss me." I chuckled whilst saying that. He never admits that he loves his sister huehue.

"What are you saying? Nothing will remind me of you by the end of this except for the trash can. I'll forget about your existence anyway." He replied.

I shot daggers at him before finally being able to make my luggage stand up. "You're unbelievable. I'm leaving." I said and walked to my mom and gave her the biggest of hugs.

I was excited because my grandparents are hours away waiting for me.

I sighed and let go of her, walking my way to the van in front of our house. I waved bye to oppa and eomma and got in. "You're not used to not seeing your family for a long time, aren't you?" I heard ahjussi say. "Yeah. I'm excited but I will really miss them." I replied, looking at the window.

Just a few seconds after that, my house wasn't in sight anymore.

~

"Wake up, we're here." Ahjussi said, immediately making me wake up. My eyes widened when I saw the scenery out of the van's window. I quickly fixed my appearance. We're here. My heart is beating fast.

"Ahjussi do I look fine? Do I?" I asked in enthusiasm.

He laughed "You look beautiful as always. You may now go and meet your grandparents." He said, gesturing to the house at the right of us. I nodded eagerly. The expression dropped from my face after that.

"I'll take my leave. See you next week again." I said, bidding farewell to him.

"I will, are you sure you don't want help with your luggage?" He asked.

"I'm fine. Thanks again." I replied and got out of the van, getting my luggage from the bag. My heart was racing because of excitement when I walked to the door. I pressed the doorbell and heard voices from behind the door.

"She's here?!"

"Han Bi's here!"

"WHAT, UNNIE IS HERE?" "WHAT, NOONA IS HERE?"

"SHE IS! AN HOUR EARLY! NOW SHHH! I'LL OPEN THE DOOR!"

The door opened and I was greeted by squeals and excitement. "It's you, Han Bi! I haven't seen you for a long time! You've grown taller and prettier since I last saw you!" Grandma said.

"You look a lot like your mother.. just a more juvenile version of her." Grandpa commented. "Thank you so much. It's nice seeing you too." I happily said.

"UNNIE! It's you! I haven't seen you for like.. centuries ago!" My eyes widened when I spotted Narae in the background.

She's a cousin of mine in my mother's side. She has a twin brother named Kyungsam and we're all pretty close when we were like new teens. I'm just older than the two of them by two months, but they treat me like a lot more older cousin.

"Narae! I missed you!" I said and gave her a tight hug. I also saw Kyungsam in the background who surprisingly is now very tall now. He looks like a chipmunk when I last saw him, and I was taller that time.

"HA! Noona! I'm taller than you!" He bragged.

I laughed. "I haven't seen all of you for a long time. Why are Narae and Kyungsam here though? Are they living with you guys?" I asked grandma.

"Oh that, their parents are in Russia for a year and we were asked to take care of them. They've been living here for three months and they're used to it. They'll study here until their parents come back." Grandma explained.

"Ah noona, do you need some help with your luggage?" Kyungsam said, which reminded me that I had pieces of luggage with me.

"Ah, ani. Thanks. What room will I be in?" I asked. "Ah, we don't have any more rooms, so you have to stay with me in my room." Narae cheerfully said. I smiled and got all my luggage, heading to her room with her.

If you're asking me about the house, the house is quite nice and prettily decorated. Full of Chines designs everywhere, too. There are lots of vases and figurines and the stuff. It evolved, actually. The house is peaceful and spacious.

"Ah unnie, do you know? There's this guy who's called J.S. who went here from Seoul too, just yesterday before you. It's my first time seeing him here and he's our neighbor's grandson! I want to talk to him but I can't because he's so cool-looking, and I think I have a crush on him." She said, dreamily sighing.

Woah she's turning red. J.S huh, I don't think that's exactly what his name is.

"A crush huh? Do you really want to talk to him? I could help you. I asked.

"Y-Yeah but I can't. Thank God, Han Bi senpai was brought here when I needed her!" She cheered, clapping her hands.

I went along with it. "Of course! I, Han Bi senpai is the smoothest guy talker ever. Many guys fall for this gorgeous human being *gestures to self* because I make guys fall in love just by talking to them. I'm glad that you've consulted the right person Narae-san!"

Also, I'm not actually a smooth guy talker. I'll probably end up failing Narae. But who cares lol let's see what this turns out to be.

"AHH, let's do this after lunch!" She happily clapped. I nodded. Just right after that, we were called for lunch.

~

Lunch was finished, and the time was about 12:40 pm. Lunch was delicious, really. I wish I could eat more of my grandmother's cooking for a whole lifetime. She cooks a lot better than mom, to be honest.

Mom isn't in favor of hiring maids to cook for us because cooking is basically her life. It's funny because she spends so much time with cooking our food as well, and I think it's different how she spends so much time but it seems like she can't top grandma's cooking.

"Unnie, come here." Narae signaled me just after lunch was finished. I feel like Narae is going to make me talk to the guy next door, so I felt my stomach flip. "I-I will wash the dishes." I said and started to go to the kitchen for some business.

"Oh no no no, I will do it. You're the guest here noona. Besides, I like doing the dishes." Kyungsam interrupted.

"But--" "It's fine. I will tell grandma that I will do it." He assured me. I heaved a sigh and nodded. "Okay, okay, off you go."

"Okay so here's my plan. You will talk to J.S oppa first and have a conversation with him and tell him to talk to me. Is that fine with you? " Narae said with a hint of excitement in her voice.

"YES. Okay. OKAY. I will do this. I'm going to hook the two of you up together." I said, gathering all the courage left in my insides and stood up straight.

"Awww~ Even his back is so handsome~ " She cooed, pointing at the window. He's just standing there with his back facing at us. Is he gathering some fresh air or what because I'm confused. He's just standing.

He seems tall, and kind of skinny. His hair is kinda messy. Reminds me of a familiar someone. Okay, okay. I'm not going paranoia because it's actually a familiar back I'm seeing right in front of me. Lol whatever, let's see how this goes.

"Ah, that guy? Come with me. I will talk to him, and you'll just eavesdrop until I get you. Come." I said, opening our door.

"Kyungsam-yah, tell them we're going to talk to the neighbors." I told the chore-loving person from afar. He nodded and continued with his business.

Remember Han Bi, you're an expert to talking to guys.

Here it goes.

We went outside the house and went off to the neighbor's house. Narae was peeking, I approached the guy. "Annyeonghaseyo. I'm here because I juust happened to want to be friends with you for the sake of humanity. Is anyone home with you?" I carelessly said.

WHAT? SAKE OF HUMANITY?

"No one is here home with me. What's your name?" He asked. The voice is vaguely faimiliar but damn this guy is still facing his back at me. I know Narae is looking from afar okay I'm going to die.

"H-Han Bi. You must be the so-called J.S right?" I stuttered.

I hear the guy snicker. "Han Bi huh? Sounds someone I know.." Okay I'm doomed. I know whose voice this is and I'm afraid he's going to face m-- Oh shoot there it goes.

My look immediately turned into a glare. He's surprised,

"YOU." "I KNEW IT. WHY IS GOD BEING CRUEL TO ME?" We said in unison.

How the hell will J.S be Kim Seokjin? Did he take that from Seokjin and made it like S.J but turned it to J.S because S.J sounds like Super Junior?

"Okay, I'll calm down. Listen Kim Seokjin, I know I'm unfortunate but please don't make it look like we know each other. My cousin Narae wants me to talk to you so she could talk to you because she.. has a crush on you." I whispered so that Narae from afar who's watching can't hear me.

"What? Where is she?" He replied.

"There, peeking. It's quite obvious but don't look," I said. "Okay, let's pretend we just became friends today because I don't want her to be suspicious." I continued.

"Funny how we can only be friends by pretending, and that's the only limit." He said.

"Aish, put that away and forget that. This vacation won't make me closer to you nor be actual friends with you." I said.

He shrugged."Okay. I already forgot about wanting to be friends with you. Moving on, do you miss me?" He asked. I flushed.

"Miss? Okay mister. I told you that we need to pretend that we don't know each other. Don't talk about this, she might hear us." I whispered even softer. "So, newly found friend... how's the weather?" I said out loud, completely changing the topic.

"You know that she needs to have a very good sense of hearing to hear us right. We're life five feet away from her." He complained.

I looked at her direction and saw that she's giving me a thumbs up. Okay maybe she doesn't really hear us, she only sees us talking but not really hearing what we're saying to each other.

"Whatever. Let's just talk about things we like," I said. "..to be sure that she doesn't hear anything."

You know, I have many things I'm curious about when I saw him.
Why is he here?
Why is he called J.S?
Why is no one home with him?
Why do I need to be neighbors with him?

"You know, J.S, I like potatoes. I like cake too, because they're just delicious." I said, completely random. He looks like he's getting along with it. "Oh I know who I like, the name starts with H and ends with a vowel." He smirked. WHAT?

Alriiiight. But WHAT?

"We're talking about things, not people." I said, trying to avoid the topic but it seems so inevitable. "Well, yeah, sorry. Can't help but say it. I like potatoes too." He said.

"Okay I give up, talk to someone else." I rolled my eyes. "I'll just go talk to your cousin instead." He said, smirking.

"I'm out. I will talk to you later or tomorrow or whatever. I have so many things to talk about. I don't want you to talk to Narae." I said and immediately went back to my sister's hideout.

"Try not talking to him, Narae." I told her. She frowned and I brought her back inside our house with me. "He's.. nevermind. I just don't want you talking to him." We went into her room immediately after that.

"What's the matter unnie? Everything was going well between you two." She said, concerned. I shook my head. My heart is beating at a fast pace for a reason I don't know.

"I don't know.. okay. You can't talk to him because--" I said, thinking about what just happened. Why is this happening?

"Tell me. We're cousins and blood-related right? I will l---"

"Because I l-like him, that's why." I cut her off, leaving her speechless.
