In Love With Mr.Dimple #9

#9

“What are you doing, mom?” he asks before kissing his mom's cheek.

“Oh, you are home already?”

“Emm....” he answer while putting the groceries he bought earlier on the kitchen table.

“What is that?” ask his mom.

“This? Some groceries. I happened to be at a mart earlier so I help you bought some.”

“That is so kind of you, my dear. But, didn’t you just help me with the groceries last Saturday? We already have enough stock for a month.” His mom look at him, confuse.

Jungsoo was going to answer his mom when Kyuhyun suddenly appear and answer their mom for him.

“Actually, hyung went to the mart with someone he likes. He must be buying all those to drag some time and stay with her longer. Right, hyung?” said Kyuhyun, giving his brother a double-jerk.

“Yah!!” Jungsoo try to smack his brother head but Kyuhyun already hide behind their mother when he sees what his brother is doing.

Mrs. Park just laugh at her sons.

“When are you going to introduce her to me?” she direct the question to the older one.

“Mom!!” Jungsoo complaint.

“It’s one-sided only, mom. The girl didn’t even know hyung likes her.” Kyuhyun said before biting the apple he takes from one of the bags that his hyung put on the table.

“Yah! Park Kyuhyun.” Jungsoo burst out, emberassed.

“Stop teasing your brother, Kyuhyunnie. Did you wash that first?” she ask, pointing at the apple Kyuhyun ate.

“Of course, mom. ‘wash the fruits before eating them’. You teach me that since I’m three. It is impossible to forget that.”

Mrs. Park hit Kyuhyun’s shoulder, as a reply of his tease.

“So, back to you, Jungsoo. You didn’t even tell me that you’ve found someone.”

“You heard Kyu, mom. It’s a one-side love.”

“What I hear from Hyunnie was ‘she didn’t even know you like her.’”

Jungsoo look up to his mom and saw those assuring eyes looking back at him.

“What if she rejects me when I ask her out?”

“Mom, are you sure that I was born after him? I think I am the one who was born five years earlier than him.” Said Kyuhyun, playfully complaining.

“Stop it Kyu, or I might tell mom about you too.” Jungsoo start to blackmail Kyuhyun.

“What? What about me?” Kyuhyun ask, provoking Jungsoo knowing there’s nothing Jungsoo can tell about him.

“What about you and Cho Ha Nee?” it’s now Jungsoo’s turn to give his brother a double-jerk.

“What about us? There’s nothing between us.” acting calm, Kyuhyun answer his brother’s accusation.

“Haha..try to dodge it as much as you can. Based on what Soo Il tell me, you like that girl. She even try to match you two because of that.” Jungsoo laugh out loud in his head. ‘Serve you right, my evil dongsaeng.’

“Soo Il told you that? Yah, hyung, you misunderstood something here. Soo Il ask me either I like Ha Nee or not. Of course I said I like her. It’s not like we should say no in that kind of situation.” Kyuhyun keep explaining that to Jungsoo but he was being ignored.

Mrs. Park who keep watching the two brothers arguing from the start paste a big smile on her face. On one side, his boys have grown up. They even got girls they like now. But, on the other side, they never grow up at all. Still arguing like a two five years kids.

Jungsoo and Kyuhyun finally stop their debate and keep mumbling to their selves, still accusing each other. ‘Soo Il’ and ‘Ha Nee’ keep coming out from their mouth.

“Okay, now, can you tell me who is actually this Soo Il and Ha Nee?” Mrs. Park finally butt in.

“The girl he likes.” The two brothers answered in unison.

Mrs. Park chuckle at their childish act.

“So, Jungsoo likes Soo Il and Kyuhyun likes Ha Nee?”

“No, mom. We’re just friends.” Kyuhyun deny.

“And that comes from the boy who said he was born five years earlier than me. Just accept it bravely, Kyu.” Said Jungsoo sarcastically, but in a joking manner.

“But I am not.” Kyuhyun try to explain the situation again but was cut by Jungsoo.

“Just ignore him, mom. He’ll realize it sooner or later.” Jungsoo stands up, ready to leave the kitchen, but then he decide to say it before leaving the kitchen. Looking at his mom he said,

“I’ll bring Soo Il to meet you next time,” with a smile on both of them, and the still pouting Kyuhyun, Jungsoo leave the kitchen and head to his room.

Soo Il’s POV

*Beep, beep

Hearing the tone that indicating there’s a message on my phone, I take it out from my bag that was put on the bed when I got home few hours ago. Looking at the sender, a smile spread on my face.

‘What are you doing?’

‘That’s typical. Can’t you start a text message with other questions?’ I replied, jokingly. Reading my own reply, I smile again.

I turn on my laptop while waiting for his reply. Taking out my planner from my bag, I heard my phone ring. Someone is calling me. Looking at the caller, I quickly pick it up.

“Yeoboseyo.”

“Soo Il-shi?” the caller asked.

“Yes. Why? You are calling the wrong number?” I ask him back and hear him laugh from the other side.

“How’s your day?” he ask.

“Can I hit your head once? We are together for all day long today, Park Jungsoo-shi.”

“Haha..it’s been quite long since I hear that sarcastic tone from you.”

“That’s funny. So, how do you feel now that the event has end?”

“Relieved. I’m relieved that everything is going well. I’m relieved that it has end and I can rest well after this. How about you?”

“I’m relieved too. I’m relieved that I won’t have to meet you again after this.” I try to sound serious, while inside me, I’m laughing out loud. He must be sulking again after this.

“Huh? Why? You hate me that much?”

Haha. Got you, if he is right in front of me right now, I might even get to see his cute pout. I was going to reply him when he suddenly continue,

“That’s what you thought I’m going to say right? Haha…I know you long enough to know your jokes, Soo Il.”

I frowned. He knew. Haish.

“Don’t get sad. You can try again next time, eventhough I don’t really think you’ll be able to trick me.” He let out a small laugh after that.

“Fine. You win this time.” He laughs again, hearing my word.

“What are you doing?” he ask.

“I was going to re-organize my planner right before you call. As for now, I’m talking to you.”

“Naughty. Anyway, don’t forget that all of us have a meeting tomorrow. Remember to remind Ha Nee, Min Young and Dong Hee. I’ll remind Kyu later.”

“Okay. I’ll remind them tomorrow morning. It will be at 3.00 right?”

“Yes. But where did I say we will meet before? I forgot.”

“It was your office, Mr. Park.”

“Oh, really? Let’s change it. How about the café? I’ll treat all of you some meal for your hardwork. Or you prefer eating outside?”

“Anywhere is fine. Haha…the kids must be happy to hear this.”

“The kids? What about you?”

“Me? I am always happy whenever food is mentioned.”

“It’s because of the food? Not be…”

“Oops..wait a second, Jungsoo-shi. There’s another call coming in.” I look at the phone screen and see that it’s my dad who is calling.

“Jungsoo-shi, I’m so sorry. My dad is calling. Let’s talk again later, okay?”

“Oh, okay. See you tomorrow, Soo Il. Bye.”

“Bye. See you tomorrow.” and with that, I end our phonecall and move to my dad’s call.
