“What are you looking at?” asked Kyung Hee.
Whew. I let out a sigh of relief. “They’re here,”
I whispered to her.
“Who?” she asked, looking over my shoulder.
“SechsKies.”
“Oh. So you want to go serve them?” I shook
my head ‘no’ quickly. Kyung Hee laughed. “Okay.
Don’t get so worked up, Mina. I’ll do it.”
She took a waitress pad and headed over to their table.
I remained in the corner watching them.
“Hi, my name is Kyung Hee and I’ll be your waitress
today. May I take your order?”
All the SechsKies members looked up to the pretty, young
girl who just approached them. Instantly Sung Hoon made
the 2 girls on his lap move. He looked up at Kyung Hee,
giving her his best smile.
“I don’t know what I want for dinner, but you
want to be my dessert?” The other 5 Kies members laughed
while Kyung Hee rolled her eyes.
“That’s so cute. Must have took you all day
to think up that one huh?”
“Ooh,” shouted Ji Yong. “This one has
a mouth.” Sung Hoon just smiled. “Feisty. I
like it.”
Then he pinched Kyung Hee’s side playfully. She moved
away, glaring. “Hey don’t touch me!”
“Come on babe. Go out with me. I’ll show you
a good time.”
“Hell no!” Kyung Hee shouted back in his face.
Then Ji Won stood up. “Don’t talk to my friend
like that,” he said in a low threatening voice. “Or
else I’ll have you fired.” Ji Won’s glare
made Kyung Hee move back a little bit but she answered back
anyways.
“You can’t fire me! I quit!”
She handed Jae Jin her apron and pad and stomped over to
me in the dark corner. “Stupid, lousy jerks,”
she whispered to me.
“I know,” I whispered back, patting her shoulder.
Suddenly, I caught Ji Won staring at me. I didn’t
know what to say or do so I just left.
Part 20
Ji Won stared at the girl who was talking to Kyung Hee.
‘She looks like Mina,’ he thought. ‘But
can’t be.’
“Hyung,” said Sung Hoon. “What are you
looking at?”
“Her,” said Ji Won, pointing in Kyung Hee’s
and Mina’s direction.
“You like my waitress too?” asked Sung Hoon,
pouting.
“No,” said Ji Won, shaking his head. “Her
friend. Doesn’t she look like Mina?”
Sung Hoon glanced at the person Ji Won was pointing to and
watched her walk away. “No...” said Sung Hoon
slowly. “That girl’s hair is much longer and
Mina has a nicer body. That chick looks like a stick.”
Ji Won cocked an eyebrow at Sung Hoon. “How do you
know Mina have a nice body?”
Sung Hoon’s eyes widened. “I dunno… just
guessing. Ji Yong’s calling me. I’ll go see
what he wants,” Sung Hoon said quickly and ran over
to Ji Yong right away. Ji Won began to chase the girl who
just left.
I heard some footsteps following behind me. I quickly turned
a corner and entered my room.
Ji Won ran after her as fast as he could. He saw the girl
turn a corner and he continued chasing her. He saw a figure
up ahead and he grabbed her by the shoulder. When the girl
turned around, she had a surprised expression on her face.
“What do you want?”
Ji Won looked at the strange girl. She looked nothing like
Mina. “Wrong person.” The girl walked way. Ji
Won sighed. ‘Maybe it’s cause I miss Mina so
much that I’m beginning to see her.’ He began
to walk back to the lobby, disappointedly.
From my hotel room, I was watching Ji Won with the little
hole in the door. I saw him pat a girl and then walk away
with his head bowed down. I went over and sat down on my
bed. I let out a sigh. Ji Won doesn’t miss me. He
has too many girls with him already. He probably forgot
who I am by now.
Tears fell down my face and I didn’t even realize
it. I quickly wiped them away. I wanted to tell myself that
I hate Ji Won but I couldn’t because then I’d
just be lying. There was only one thing left for me to do.
I stood in front of my bathroom mirror. I can’t be
with Ji Won as Mina, but I wanted to be by his side to watch
over him. I thought about it for a while and remembered
they were recruiting new members for Black Kies.
I looked at myself. Hmm…if my hair is short and put
into a cap, I wear sunglasses more, darken my skin with
make-up, and lower my voice…I can pass for a guy.
So I did it. Within an hour, I had transformed myself
into a guy. I checked myself over. As a guy, I didn’t
look too bad. I smoothed out my new short hair and tucked
it into a cap. Guys wear earrings too so I didn’t
have to worry about my earring holes.
I wore a couple of T-shirts under my flannel and 2 pairs
of boxers under my baggy jeans so I would fill out more
and wouldn’t look so scrawny. I checked my make-up,
making sure I was well-covered. I put my sunglasses on.
‘Perfect’, I thought. Now all I have to do is
have to pass the test to join the gang.
