STUBBORN HEARTS<3 (complete)

A Glimpse To The Pest's Life

“What’s wrong?” he asked mechanically.

“I just. . .” I stalled. “I just can’t wrap my head around it. I mean, it’s so unbelievable how

someone as small as her can make you lose control”

“Lose control?” he asked in that robotic tone of his again.

“Yeah, lose control” I said. He gazed at me blankly. I rolled my eyes. “Remember the make out

session in your room?”

“Oh” he mumbled, amusement lighting his face. “Yeah, I remember. I Would have appreciated it

if yo knocked, though”

I sighed. I don’t really want to talk about the brat. But since I want to see some human emotions

from him, I’m enduring it.

When I was a kind, I used to live in a place like this, provincial type. Jiyong was my neighbor.

Every kid in our place was afraid of him, even me. There’s something scary with how he acts so.

. . mechanical, so robotic. He never talks, never plays. He would just hang outside their house,

reading books and doing some sort of training with his father and an elder Kwon.

I was curious about him. That’s why I can’t stop observing him. Then, they left. I heard they

were going to live in a big house; his father as an assistant and his mother as a chef. When he

came back for summer vacation, that’s when I heard him talk. I can remember it clearly. I was

standing not too far from him, observing him again when he suddenly knelt down and stroked a

stray kitten’s head gently.

“Hello kitten” he said.

I was shocked, really. I don’t know what made me do it but I approached him. After some time,

we became friends. For the first part, he doesn’t really talk but everytime I ask him about the big

house he’s living, he’d then started talking about this girl who lives there. I was pretty surprised

when he started talking about her because his face would the light up with amusement, irritation,

confusion, gentleness- in short, emotions.

Then, I found out what he’s being told to do and who he really is. It was then that I decided to be

like him, some sort of a super cool undercover private agent.

“I wondered about hat at first, too” his voice broke into my reverie. “But I think it’s her effect on

people. Like you, for example. You lose your patience on her pretty easily”

I snorted. “I can just imagine how hard it was for you to keep up your patience. But of course, it

wasn’t really that hard for you, huh?”

He looked away, then his face softened, his eyes gentled. He looked like someone who

experienced nothing but happiness. I followed his gaze and I saw the brat coming towards us,

looking every inch of a spoiled brat that she is.

“I want to learn how to use a gun and how to fight” I announced.
