He's Back Pt. 2

I looked up from my phone and Mi-Young had stopped dead in her tracks in front of me. I almost bumped into her.

"What's wrong Mi-Youngie?" I asked while moving up next to her, concerned that she was still very angry at me. I prepared myself for another earful from her.

"There's um.. a really cute guy standing by your front door," she whispered quietly back to me.

"Huh? Where?" I asked loudly and started looking around towards the door.

I saw a man standing by the door. He had on a white t-shirt, a black beanie, a black short, and was wearing glasses. He also had a black backpack on his back and a suitcase next to him. I furrowed my eyes brows to see clearer who he could be and my heart started to rapidly increase.

Jimin Hyung?

He waved to me with his phone still in his hand and he smiled so brightly back at me. His eyes turning into moon crescents as he laughed out loud while continuously waving. His laughter was music to my ears and my heart jumped even more crazily. I absentmindedly lifted my hand up and slowly returned the wave with a confused and shocked expression on my face.

"Nae dongsang!!!!" He screamed and ran as fast as he could towards me with his arms wide open. His strong hands grabbed my waist as he pulls me close to him for a long and big hug, one that I have been yearning for. He spun me around while Mi-Young quickly moved aside for us with a shocked look on her face as well.

"Hyung! What are you doing here?!" I asked once he finally put me down.

"I'm on summer break already. My studies and exams are already done and my parents were okay with me coming back to Korea to visit you for the summer before I go back to college in the states. I wanted to surprise you. I can see I did!" He grinned cutely at me.

I stared at the man before me. He was so beautiful, like an angel that was sent just for me. He hadn't changed too much but definitely got taller and more handsome. His cheeks were still as chubby as ever and I loved that so much about them. I had to hold back the urge to pinch his cheeks.

"You must be Song Mi-Young," Jimin said turning his attention towards Mi-Young.

I could see she was taken aback by Hyung's good looks. Her mouth hung opened and she stared blankly back at Hyung and slowly nodded 'yes.' I poked Mi-Young's side to get her out of her trance and laughed at her reaction.

"Hi! I am Song Mi-Young and you must be Jimin Hyung," she replied to Hyung. Hyung just simply smiled at Mi-Young before answering her.

"Yes, I am. But you can call me Jimin Oppa or just Jimin is fine too. I want Hani to be the only girl to call me Hyung," he smirked while scrunching up his nose and then ruffles my short hair.

"O-oppa?"Mi-Young slightly blushed a light rosy pink on her cheeks. I noticed that she stuttered and eyed the girl. She usually only does this when she's nervous, which was never.

"You are really pretty, just like what Hani had told me. I look forward to knowing you more Mi-Young-ssi."

He held out his hand and she shyly reaches out and shakes hands with Hyung.

I'll admit. I was jealous. I've always wanted to be acknowledged as a girl by Hyung. I wanted to be able to call him Oppa. I wanted him to like me back. Am I selfish? Yes, but this is Song Mi-Young we are talking about. My best friend, who is the most beautiful girl ever. How could I even compare myself to her? For once in my life, I hated the way I looked. I hated my boyish like attitude. I hated my pixie haircut. I hated the way I dressed. I hated everything about me.

"Yah, how is it that you've never changed? I could tell it was you the moment I saw you," he suddenly asked me which brought me back to reality.

"Uhhhh..."

I couldn't answer him or more like I didn't know what to say back to him. What did he mean? Did he want me to change? Was it because I wasn't pretty like Mi-Young?

The front door suddenly opened.

"Jimin! Welcome back sweetheart," my mom called out to Hyung.

"Annyeonghaseyo Mrs. Kim. Thank you for letting me stay here with your family while I'm visiting."

"Of course, it's no big deal sweetie. We've missed you, especially Hani."

"Omma!" I called out to my mom.

Jimin Hyung burst out laughing at us.

"I've miss Hani a lot too, Mrs. Kim."

He turned to look at me and then winked at me which caused my heart to jump.

"Come in! You can take the guest room Jimin. Mi-Young, are you staying the night? If you are, you can sleep with Hani in her room tonight."

"Yes mom," Mi-Young answered.

"Mom?" Jimin questioned?

"Ah, Mi-Young stays here with us sometimes. Since Hani doesn't want to hang out with me, I've been hanging out with Mi-Young. She is just like a 2nd daughter to me so I told her to call me mom too."

"It's not that I don't want to hang out with you, mom. The things that you want to do are boring. I don't want to get my nails done or go shopping. You take too long when you shop," I snapped back at my mom.

I let out a big sigh before running my hand through my hair.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling too well tonight," I apologized and brushed past my mom and entered through the front door. I took off my shoes and went straight up to my room.

A few minutes passed and I hear a soft knock on my door.

*knock knock*

"Come in."

The door slowly opened and Hyung entered my room.

"Nae dongsang. I just came back today and you're not even going to hang out with me for a little bit?" He pouted.

I was feeling frustrated and jealous of Mi-Young. Both my mom and Hyung seems to like her more than me, but with Hyung's cute little pout, I instantly smiled and my mood got brighter.

"You are too cute Hyung," I said as I pinched his chubby cheeks. I could no longer hold back the urge to pinch. I was shaking his head and I moved in closer towards his face until the tip of our noses slightly touched.

Mi-Young walked into the room and I quickly let go of his cheeks and backed away. He looked rather disappointed that I stopped pinching his cheeks.

"Oppa, are you hungry? Mom told me to come ask you to go eat a late dinner."

"Thank you Mi-Young-ssi. Let's go eat Hani," Hyung grabbed my hand as he pulled me out of the room leaving Mi-Young behind.

"Mi-Youngie, come eat with us!" I called out to her.

"Okay. I'll be down in a bit."

My mom and dad had already eaten so they went to bed after reheating the leftovers for us. I sat across from Hyung while Mi-Young sat next to me.

Hyung and I talked and laughed while reminiscing about the past. We would tell Mi-Young stories about the other. Mi-Young, however, just sat quietly as she listened on. She barely ate her food and just kept poking at it. I could tell she wasn't herself tonight.

After eating, Mi-Young and I cleared the table and started to do the dishes. She was extremely quiet tonight and it was bugging me.

"Is something wrong Mi-Youngie? You are awfully quiet tonight."

"Do you hate me?"

Her question caught me off guard.

"What the hell Mi-Youngie? Why the hell would you think that?"

"It's just..... you seemed upset earlier. Was it because of me?" she sadly asked me with tears brimming in her eyes.

I didn't want to admit to her that I was jealous of her.

"Ah, earlier? I was just a little annoyed by my mom. I don't hate you Mi-Youngie. You're my best friend and... my girlfriend," I answered her as I splashed a little bit of water at her face.

"Yah! Stop it, boyfriend!" She giggled back at me.

She finally looked relaxed and relieved. She soon turned back into herself and had the biggest smile on her face. We finished the dishes and I told Mi-Young I was going to go say goodnight to Hyung before I come to bed.

"Sure, take your time. I'm sure you two want to catch up some more."

"Thanks, girlfriend. I'll come to hold you to sleep later beautiful."

She smiled back at me and giggled.

"I'll be waiting for you, boyfriend."

I made my way to the guest room. I knocked on the door but there was no answer.

Is he sleeping already?

I slowly opened the door and I see Hyung already fast asleep on the bed.

He looked just like a child, sleeping so messy. I snickered quietly to myself and I walked towards him. I slowly pulled the blanket out from his leg and covered him. I sat next to him and stared at the man sleeping next to me. I pinched myself to see if it a dream. It wasn't a dream. He was really here.

"I really missed you Hyung..." I quietly whispered as I gently stroke his cheeks with my the back of my fingers.

"Good night Hyung."

As I got up, he grabbed my hand and suddenly pulled me into the bed with him. He held onto me so tightly. My heart raced at the speed of light. I was so afraid he was going to hear my heartbeat. I held my breath and closed my eyes tightly shut. Then I heard him lightly snoring. He had fallen back asleep with me still in his arms. I finally exhaled slowly and waited for Hyung to loosen his grip on me so I could slip away.

While waiting, I looked at the man sleeping. He was so beautiful, so handsome. I've missed him so much and he was finally here.

After about a good 30 minutes in his arms, I felt his grip loosening on me. I gently kiss Hyung on his cheek and then I slipped away from his warm embrace. I walked back to my room with the biggest smile on my face.

Jimin's POV

*Knock knock*

Oh damn it, she's here already! I'll just pretend to fall asleep and then scare her.

I silently grinned to myself like a crazy person before quickly jumping into the bed but it was not quick enough. She was already opening the door.

Crap, I didn't have enough time to fix myself nicely on the bed. She's going to think I'm weird sleeping like this...

I could hear her light footsteps nearing the bed.

She's making her way towards me. I can hear her snickering. I'll wait until after she tucks me in, then I'll scare her. Hehehe.

"I really missed you Hyung..."

*du-geun du-geun*

Why is my heart beating fast?

I felt her light touches on my cheeks and I didn't know how to react. I tried not to make any movements to let her know I was still awake.

"Good night Hyung."

No, she's leaving!

My body reacted before I could even think. I had grabbed her hand and pull her into bed with me.

Shit! Now, how the hell do I get out of this situation? My heartbeat is not slowing down either. What do I do? What do I do? Ah! I'll pretend to fall back asleep.

I let out tiny fake snores hoping that she would be convinced that I fell back asleep.

*30 minutes later*

Why is she not trying to leave yet?

I finally realized that I was holding onto her too tightly.

Of course, she won't be able to leave. Duh Park Jimin.

I loosen my grip on her and I felt something soft on my cheek.

Did she just kiss my cheek?

I hear the door close and I finally let out the biggest breath. I was breathing very heavily. Why did I become so breathless?

My hand moved up to my chest and I felt my heart pumping like crazy.

*du-geun-du-geun du-geun-du-geun du-geun-du-geun du-geun*

Why is my heart still not slowing down...
