Part 17

Just as they got out the door Kyung Hee slammed Sung Hoon against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing here? Where is Ji Yong?"
Sung Hoon smiled and said, "Is this how you treat your boyfriend?"
"Answer me!"
"Ji Yong couldn't make it so I decided to help him out."
"Oh no. My parents are staying for two weeks! Ji Yong can't pretend to be my boyfriend then." Sung Hoon gave out a sigh.
"Well, I guess I'll torture myself for a few weeks and pretend to be your boyfriend. Kyung Hee looked at him suspiciously.
"How do I know you didn't do anything to Ji Yong to take his place?" Sung Hoon was stunned. He hadn't thought about Kyung Hee saying that. Truth was, he had to beg Ji Yong to let him take his place. But Sung Hoon played it smoothly.
"Yeah right. Look at you Kyung Hee. Only an idiot would date you. What makes you think that I would do this if it wasn't for a buddy?" Kyung Hee looked at him with doubt. But then Sung Hoon continued talking.
"Besides, this means you have to be nice to me or your parents will find out the truth." It seemed like blackmail to her.
"Oh I'll be nice to you alright," she said as she raised her fist. But just then her dad opened the door and she dropped her fist immediately.
"That's so cute. You don't want to say goodbye to Sung Hoon? Stay out with him then. It's just ten but be home by midnight. There's school tomorrow."
"Thanks Mr. So," said Sung Hoon and he pulled Kyung Hee away before she could answer.
"I'll have her back by midnight." He took her hand and led her to the park.

"Okay. Here are the rules if you want me to be your boyfriend."
"Rules? Puh-leaze! I don't want to date you!"
"Oh yeah? Tell that to your parents then." That made Kyung Hee shut up. She listened as Sung Hoon went on.

"First of all, I have good taste. My girlfriends will always wear dresses and smell good. And you look like a guy! And you smell!" Sung Hoon took a whiff of her.
"Eww! You smell like a guy too!" Kyung Hee took a smell herself.
"Do not!"
"Do too! Second rule. When we kiss you have to promise to let go because I know you can't help yourself and you'll end up gluing yourself to me." Kyung Hee gave him a disgusted look.
"Gross! That's my rule! No kissing!" Sung Hoon cocked an eyebrow.
"Won't it look weird if you never kiss your boyfriend?" Kyung Hee shuddered form the thought of kissing Sung Hoon.
"The things I do just to please my parents."
"Hey I'm the one who's sacrificing. Now I have to go two weeks without dating any girl. I'm supposed to be with a beauty and not a beast." Kyung Hee sighed.
"Alright. Then go ahead. Kiss me."
"What?!"
"You heard me. Remember when you kissed me in front of Ji Won? You were aiming for my mouth weren't you? But you missed and hit my nose. I guess we have to practice."

Sung Hoon swallowed a lump in his throat. He always imagined what it would be like to kiss Kyung Hee but he didn't really think he was going to have that chance.
"Well at least take off your cap so I know I'm kissing a girl." Kyung Hee took her cap off. Long strands of hair fell down past her shoulders and down her back. Sung Hoon ran his hand through her hair.
"Hey your hair grew back!"
"Yeah."
"Why do you always keep it up in a cap then?"
"Oh I don't know. Maybe because I have a fear that a psycho would chop it off." Sung Hoon pulled his hand away.
"Look it was an accident. Besides, it was five years ago. Can't you forget and move on already?"
"How would you feel if I cut your hair?"
"It's different because my hair is nice while yours is nappy," he said.
"Oh yeah? Could have fooled me. I thought your hair was a dead animal with all those spikes."
"So are we gonna kiss or not?" he asked. Kyung Hee sighed.
"If you only would stop making fun of me."
"Okay I guess I have to stop for now since I'm your boyfriend." Then she slowly closed her eyes. Sung Hoon looked at her. Her innocent face reminded him of all the good times they had together. Well actually, good for him, nightmare for her. But there she was, standing very close to him. Eyes closed, her long hair swaying. Then he bent forward to kiss her. And there it was. Magic and fireworks.

It was a feeling he couldn't describe. He never felt this way when he kissed a girl before. And he knew it too because he had kissed a lot before. Kyung Hee wrapped her arms around Sung Hoon's neck.
'Hmm... I never felt like this when I kiss Ji Won. I could kiss Sung Hoon forever. Wait a minute.... What the hell am I thinking?' Kyung Hee broke the kiss off.
"Okay that's enough practice." She put her cap back on because she knew her face was turning red. Sung Hoon was kind of disappointed that it had to end so soon.
"Uh, yeah. Come on Kyung Hee. I'll walk you home."
