When We Return

Chapter Eight

He let out a hiss and scratched his head. "I danced for you, didn't I?"

"Still!" I hump and flipped my hair, purposely hitting him in the face and he groaned in disapproval.

I gathered my things on the ground and drank from my tumblr before we face another mile of hiking. It's been 5 days since we got back from Gwacheon and after that, we've explored 2 places already excluding this one making it three.

SinB wasn't able to join us since it's still school days and their father won't let her, anyway, much to her dismay. Good thing we were able to leave the house before their father came back from work or else I've got to deal with another Jay-Jay, which I hope is kinder than his two kids.

They never mentioned anything about their mother and I don't have the right to ask so I kept my mouth sealed with questions I'm meaning to ask.

So, we're currently here in Gwangju specifically in Mudueng National Park and obviously, hiking. Actually, we didn't plan anything about hiking but when he was searching for some information on our way using public transportation about Gwangju, he was enchanted to hiking immediately and just drag me here.

We're not prepared, I didn't bring any hiking clothes and shoes. Didn't pack any extra water so obviously again, we went shopping right after we step outside the bus.

I was just thankful he was the one who paid.

"Okay now, so how about racing all the way to the top?" I immediately slap his arm the moment he said that. I'm not gonna bet with him, ever again!

"Enough with your dirty tricks, pabo."

Stretching my legs before continuing where we stopped earlier, and he instantly followed.

"Ohhh, now you're dissing me in Korean."

"I learned from the expert." Sticking my tongue out in his direction. He ruffled my hair and ran off.

"YAAAAH!!!"

And we chased each other as if climbing up a mountain is as easy as walking on a sidewalk.

Five days and being with him is a tough ride. There are days in which he would treat me like a ghost, and sometimes he's annoying as hell.

Each day, he'll surprise me with his unexpected attitude.

Like when we went to Daegu the other day, maybe he woke up the wrong side of the bed that he only spoke to me about 2 or 3 times.

Then the day after that, which we're going back to Seoul, someone decided to bombard me with ridiculous puns that almost drive me crazy.

Today obviously, he's on a roll again. He tricked me on eating a large hamburger and made a bet that whoever finished last will grant the wish of the winner. Of course, I'm confident in winning. I've got no chill when I eat hamburger and I have proved that so many times.

But the moment he points something behind me at the middle of the competition, he ate a large piece and threw the rest on the trash bin he placed beside him.

Though it's unfair, I wasn't able to argue when he started pushing and forcing me to dance.

When will he ever treat me as a girl? Psh.

But! I must say that even though his mood is crappy most of the time, I enjoyed very well. We tried out almost everything in each place then stay at a cheap hotel. Of course, we have separate rooms.

"If you're in a hurry, you should say thanks as 'gomawo'." He said the word repeatedly as I follow him but my pronunciation just made a way for him to make fun of me.
