2: Receiving His Kindness

Eunji run along the road. She woke up late today and her sister annoyingly make her morning more worst when she keep budging her to make breakfast since their mom went to morning market to buy some groceries.

"Ara! Jina!" Eunji shout when she saw them at the school gate.

"Ahjussi, she's here." Ara thank the school guard for waiting her friend to arrive first before closing the gate.

"Why are you late?" Asked Jina while they walk fast to class.

"Yeah, we've been waiting for you at the coffee shop but you didn't shows up so we just walk to school first." Ara explain and make Eunji nod her head.

"I woke up late." Eunji smile while turning her head to them but suddenly a boy run into her and make her stumble before her bottom land on the floor. She groan in pain while Ara and Jina busy shouting at the boy who just leave without any apologise.

"Are you alright?" Eunji look up and she almost can't believe her eyes when Xiumin proffered his hand to her. Ara and Jina gasp at the sight of Eunji took his hand and stand up with his help. Eunji's face turn red because of the contact of their hands.

"Careful next time." He said with a smile before he walk away. Eunji blink few time still can't believe what just happen.

"He..he .. held .. my hand." Eunji muttering while Ara and Jina cheer with fangirl voice.

"Omaigosh!!" They cheer together as they held each other hands and jump happily.

"What are you doing there instead of in the class?!" The yelling voice make the girls run in rush to class. They know if they stay any longer they will be in trouble.

"I saw you lost your focus on class just now. Is it because of Xiumin?" Ara tease Eunji while Jina grimace.

"Yah, don't tease me." Eunji refuse their tease and walk faster to cafeteria while the duo run to catch up with her.

They line up to take lunch at the counter when suddenly a few students cut the line and push them to the back. Eunji get annoyed when Ara fell down and they just laugh at her.

"Hey, can you at least apologise? You cut the line and push us make my friend fell down, yet you still can laugh??" Eunji scold them but the boy suddenly glare at him and grab Eunji collar.

"What did you say?" He growl but his wrist suddenly grab by Xiumin and got push by Luhan, Xiumin's friend.

"You should go behind and line up properly." Said Xiumin firm with his serious tone.

"You really!-.." he lift his hand ready to punch Xiumin but he got push rashly by Luhan.

"Behave!" Luhan warn him and make him walk away with his anger.

"You can move forward." Xiumin uttered with a gentle smile to Eunji and her friends, make her face hot.

"T-thank you." She muttered. Xiumin nod and walk away with Luhan. Once again, Ara and Jina cheers for Eunji while she just smile to herself.

Ara keep talking on their way to home but Eunji can't focus to whatever comes from Ara's mouth. She keep thinking about Xiumin kindness to her. Well she know Xiumin do that to anyone, anywhere but for her its so special that make her can't stop smiling.

"what do you think Eunji?" Ara turn her head to Eunji but she keep smiling like an idiot to herself.

"Yah!" Ara push her hard and make her stumble but managed to hold on Jina to prevent her from landing on the ground.

"Wae? Wae??" Eunji panic and look to Ara while Jina just shook her head lightly.

"I think Xiumin has put his spell on you already. You didn't even listen to us." Ara pout as she keep whining and Jina chuckles to them.

"Mian, I'll listen to you okay." Eunji jump and swung her arm on Ara's shoulder.

"You better be!" She glare at her. Eunji smile wide and nod her head vigorously.

"So what are you saying just now?"

~¤~

"Omma!" Eunji run downstairs and bump to her little sister.

"Watch it!" Eunji bulge her eyes to her harsh words.

"Yah! Jung sulbi!" Eunji hit her head hard and make her groan.

"Ah! Wae!!" She glare at her sister and hiss.

"How dare you raise your voice at your sister like that?!" Eunji knock her head again.

"Auch! That's hurt!" She groan louder.

"What is this about?" Mrs. Jung shows up when she heard a her daughter quarrelling again. Its a usual routine for them to quarrel all of the time.

"Omma, unnie hit me!" She annoyingly move to her mom and rub her head. Wanting her mom to take side.

"Then you must stop raising your voice to your sister and pay her some respects." Said Mrs. Jung gently while stroking Sulbi head. Sulbi frown when her mom take side to her sister while Eunji stick out her tongue to her.

"Omma, I'll be out to meet Ara and Jina." Eunji excuse herself.

"Ne, don't be late okay." Eunji nod and ruffled her sister hair before she walk out. Sulbi warding off her hand and hiss while stomping her feet walking upstairs.

~¤~

"So what are we up to?" Asked Eunji while sitting at the bench near the soccer field. Usually they will go to the library and read some books rather than meet at the field.

"Just shut up and look!" Ara turn Eunji head forcefully and make Eunji shot her eyes at the center of the field where a bunch of boys ready to play soccer and amongs them, Xiumin are smiling while hugging his best friend's shoulder. Eunji's lips curve a stupid smile and her eyes didn't even blink.

"Damn! He's so cute." She mumbles.

"Yah, you curse!" Jina pointed her index finger to Eunji.

"Hah?" Eunji dumbfounded. She didn't even realise she's cursing. Ara show her stupid grin and pat Eunji head.

"My child." She emphasised and make Jina knock her head. Eunji ignore them and continue to watch Xiumin play soccer again.
