Mr. Arrogants
39

"Thank you ahjussi, you can have the rest" I told the taxi driver as I paid for the argo.

I got out of the taxi and smiled widely, spread my gaze around me and breathed fresh air. 'It's been a long time! I thought as I walked down the street. After five to six months. I finally returned to Seoul.

I had lunch at a nearby food store before deciding to go somewhere. I walked some distance and finally got to the right house. I rang the bell and waited for the door to open.

After a while, the doorknob turned and the door opened, and Mina stood there. His face was suddenly blank and he stayed in place looking at me.

"Annyeong?" I greeted him and blinked.

"H-Hyej-jin?!" he stammered, and I smiled. He suddenly screeched and ran to hold me, hugging me very tightly.

"OMMO OOMO I DON'T DREAM, DO I?! You're really Hyejin, aren't you?!" Mina continued to hug me tightly and shook me violently.

"Hey hey! You can take me off before I die out of breath" I said, and he finally let me go. He smiled at me, showing his teeth. I smiled at him too.

"Why didn't you call me and tell me you were coming?!" ask and cut.

"Ah... I just wanted to surprise you. You're not gonna take me in?" I said and grimaced.

he smiled with shame. "Get in," he said. I went in and sat on the couch.

Mina sat next to me, her smile still imprinted on her face as she looked at me. I looked at him and laughed. "Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" my many.

"It's nothing, I'm just glad you're here. You came to school tonight, didn't you? For the New Year's Party?" Mina asked me.

"lyas... I want to meet everyone. I can't wait to see Taehyung either! But.... I'm not sure how to dress up so..."

"Ah, you don't have to worry. Let's go get some clothes now, hurry!" mina with spirit. I nodded and smiled. We both stood up and exited the house, heading to the shopping mall.

It's a New Year's party but I feel it's like prom because the dress code for women is a dress and suit for men. Since I wasn't good at choosing a dress, I asked Mina for help.

We wandered around to shop for about three hours more, before we went to the cafe for a coffee break session.

"Hey, there's something I'm worried about" I told Mina.

"What's that?"

"What if. Taehyung didn't come to the party later?" ask her.

he thought for a moment. "Eish, I'm sure he'll come. Don't think negatively."

I pursed my lips. "No.... I'm just worried. I bought all these nice things to wear, but if he doesn't come, so what's the point of coming to the party."

Mina. "Hey, you really just want to dress up for Taehyung, not huh." he teased me, and I smiled shyly. "Araseo, let's go home before we're late for the party."

I nodded and we both went home, with our hands full of grocery bags.

...***...

"Help me zipping," I told Mina and she helped me with my dress. I turned to the mirror and scrutinized myself up and down. I don't look that bad. I wore a pastel pink dress over my knees and decorated myself with silver bracelets and necklaces and heart-shaped earrings.

Mina took care of my makeup and curled my hair and set it on my right shoulder.

Mina wears a hot pink dress and curls her hair as well. she finishes it in an hour, we're done.

"Hey, we're so pretty, aren't we" Mina said just as she saw how far we were in the mirror.

I laugh. "Well, let's go now, before we're too late."

"OK wait, let's take the selca first" he said just as he picked up his phone and set it on selfie mode.

I rolled my eyeballs but still took pictures with it. "All right, let's go" I said and pulled him out of the house.

Eight o'clock at night when we get to school. My hands are cold because I am so nervous. We were walking to the school building where the party was being held, when suddenly, I stopped Mina and took a step back.

"I wasn't ready," I said, becoming very nervous.

Mina held my hand and squeezed it. "You're gonna be fine. Don't you want to see Taehyung?"

"What if he doesn't want to see me?"

"Oh shut up, here you are," said Mina and pulled me into the building.

Loud music played and everyone had fun. I saw some familiar faces, but I decided not to approach anyone and was in the corner with Mina.

My eyes skimmed through the crowd when I suddenly saw a familiar face. He sat in his own chair.

It was Taehyung.

My heart beats fast just by looking at it from afar. But he did not look happy and just sat alone eating food from the sideboard.

I miss him so much, and now he's there. I really wanted to get to him, but I don't know why I can't.

"Hey, isn't that Taehyung?" mina said and pointed at the same man I was looking at.

"l-iya," I said, still looking at her, my eyes a little watery.

"What are you waiting for? Go talk to her" said Mina and pushed me on my back.

I took a deep breath. "I can't "

"Why? she was there," Mina told me and raised her eyebrows.

"I just can't, too nervous," I told him and sighed. I glanced at him again, when suddenly, our eyes met. I held back the laziness and looked the other way.

"Um, Mina, I have to go to the toilet quickly" I said and ran over.

I got to the toilet where the girls were fixing their makeup. I tried to catch my breath and wash my hands. I shook, I don't know why I got so nervous just because of Taehyung.

After I calmed down a bit, I slowly returned to the building and sat down next to Mina.

"Where is Taehyung?" I asked.

"I saw him go, I thought he was coming home," he told me, and my eyes turned.

"What Aish." I sighed and bit my lips, thinking what I should do next. "I think I should go now, enjoy the party okay."

"What's? You're not gonna stay for the last seconds of the New Year?" Mina asked me, and I shook my head. "Ah, araseo, take care, annyeong"

With that, I ran quickly outside the school, with my heels, looking for Taehyung but he was nowhere to be seen. Immediately, I got frustrated with my heels and took them off, threw them away.

My eyes were watering as I ran with bare feet, towards Taehyung's house. Can I see it?

I gasped for breath, and slowed my pace, following him from behind. My heart was beating fast, seeing it just a few steps away from me. But still, it seems that I can't get any closer to him.

We reached his house. Taehyung opened the gate and entered. I quietly followed him from behind and sneaked in before the gate closed.

I hid behind a parked car in front of his house, while Taehyung was still not aware of me and he entered the house, closing the door.

I wasn't ready and I was still hiding in the back of the car. Should I go and knock on the door? Or didn't?

I took a deep breath and finally stood up. walking towards the door. I took my hand and wanted to knock on the door, when I suddenly froze. I bit my lips nervously and clenched my fingers hard. I can, I can.

Without any further hesitation, I knocked on the door and took a step back, nervously staring at the door. My heart beats fast, waiting for a response.

Moments later, the door opened, and there Taehyung stood.

When he saw me, he went blank and looked at me, not even blinking. I looked back at her, tears coming down my face. "A-annyeong Kim Tae -"

Before I finished greeting him, Taehyung rudely pulled me inside and closed the door.

My eyes turned back in shock while my body stiffened. I stood there, and she covered my lips with a voracious kiss. Her lips moved roughly on my lips, but slowly became soft. Following her, I closed my eyes placing my arm around her neck, kissing her back. I could feel the frog jumping on my stomach, making me feel amused. These are the lips I miss.

His lips left mine for a moment, as he looked into my eyes intensely.he seemed confused, surprised, hesitant, all at the same time. I could feel her breathing because our faces were so close. I looked at his lips, wanting more.

she leaned back and kissed me once more, and I responded quickly, doing the same before she pulled away and released a kiss, breathing heavily while she looked at me.

"What are you doing here, damn it." Taehyung said rudely to me.

I slowly smiled at him and looked down nervously. "I thought you'd be happy to see me but I think I should go now" I said and turned to the door.

Taehyung clasped my wrist and twisted me to face him. "Hey! This boy whispered behind his breath as he looked at me. "There's a lot you have to say to me, right?!"

I nodded and looked at him.

he took me to the living room and pushed me roughly sitting on the sofa.he sat in front of me and folded his arms, crossed his legs, looked at me and waited for me to talk.

"Well... I'm just busy. But you keep accusing me of things like forgetting you and others, I'm frustrated but I don't want to argue, so I just ignore you" I explained to her.

he rolled his eyeballs, "Then?"

"So I came back to see you because I missed you, so much. I promised to come back, didn't I?"

Taehyung's expression softened as he looked at me, his eyebrows didn't wrinkle anymore, and he sighed, looking down.

I walked over to him and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry okay." I said and hugged his arm.

"It's not funny waiting for you for a few months" he said.

"I said I'm sorry," I apologized again.

Taehyung faced me, with a sullen expression on his face, clearly still resentful towards everything. "You ignored my message, you didn't pick up my call, you didn't even tell me what you were doing and-"

I interrupted her by dropping my lips on her lips, for a brief kiss, and I locked my eyes with her, "Sorry?"

His lips slowly smiled as he looked the other way, "Clear."

"I came to tell you the good news, by the way" I said.

"What?" he asked, pretending not to care.

"I'm in Seoul, right? So you think I'm gonna come back here or come home?" ask Taehyung and grin.

la's looking. "You... Can you stay in Seoul?"

"You want me to stay?" tanyaku. la gulp.

I laughed, "Well like it or not, I'll stay in Seoul."

His eyes turned and he held my shoulder. "JINJA?! YOU'RE GONNA STAY?! YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK TO AMERICA? WH WHY? HOW'S IT?"

I laughed, "My aunt is willing to take care of me, so I'm going to live in Seoul but away from my parents. But I'm fine with that."

Taehyung smiled widely and quickly pulled me for a hug and shook me tightly. He pulled himself up and looked at me. "You're not kidding, are you?"

"Of course not! I'm really going to stay in Seoul" I said and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave a short kiss on my lips.

I leaned my head on her shoulder, "Did you miss me?"

he leaned his head over me as well and sighed naoas, "I miss you so much that I feel like I'm dead."

I put my arm on her shoulder and brought her closer. "May I sleep here tonight? I don't want to go to my aunt's place too soon."

"Yeah of course why not" Taehyung replied.

"So, want something comfortable to wear? I can't wear this dress all night" I said and stared at my dress.

"Are you dressed so well, huh?" Taehyung.

"Tsk. You're just realizing it now" I said and rolled my eyeballs.he laughed and pinched my nose. "All right, let's clean up and then we'll

watch the drama or something else" Taehyung said and held my hand.

A few minutes later, we finished cleaning ourselves and I used one of his white polo shirts and pajama pants. We sat in the living room watching the drama as I suddenly realized the time.

"One minute before the New Year" I said and looked at Taehyung. I close my eyes and make hope.

"What's your hope?" he asked me.

"I wish we'd always be on each other's side and happy together, you?" my many.

"He's healthy and happy together" Taehyung said and smiled at me.

Three. two.. one......

"Happy new year!" Taehyung and I said at the same time and laughed.

she got closer and kissed me on the lips and I kissed her back. I am so grateful to be back with him.
