Chapter 4

Chirp-chirp.

I hear the birds chirping early in the morning. I wake up and give a great, big yawn. I stretched my arm and I see Jun on the floor of my room. Hmm…? I wonder why Jun is on the floor. Let me think back a little… Yesterday, I fainted and Jun took me to my room and then we hugged and… we like each other…! Oh geez… I wonder what I'm doing to do… I got out of my bed and covered Jun with my blanket. I walked sluggishly downstairs to eat breakfast. I got some toast and jam. I spread the jam onto the bread and ate it slowly. I seems like mom went out shopping with Yuni. Good thing I don't have school today. Now I can just relax and do whatever I want. I kept thinking about Jun. Yesterday, mom said that Jun was handsome… Now that I think about it, he is tall, he looks athletic, and he is kind of good-looking… Oh my gosh! I really do like Jun! I just need to calm down. I finished my bread and walk towards the fridge. I looked and there was a note taped on the fridge door. It says, Minah, Yuni and I are out at your grandparent's house. We will be back pretty late. Love Mom. I guess it's only me and Jun tonight.

. . . ! Me and Jun? Together? In my empty, empty house… What do I do…? My mom HAD to leave today… Sigh… Whatever, I guess something will work out. I hear a door shut upstairs and I see Jun coming down the stairs.

"Good morning, sleepy head." I said with a smile on my face and laughed a little. He gave a huge yawn and said, "Good morning, Minah." His hair wasn't spikey anymore. I stepped up to him and said, "Wow. Your hair isn't spikey anymore. With your hair down, you actually have some bangs." I ruffled and kept touching his hair. His hair was so soft. "Your hair looks nice with or without spikey hair." I gave another smile. His face became red again like yesterday. He really is a shy person, I didn't know that.

"Are you hungry? Want me to make something for you?" I asked.

"It's alright. I'll just eat some bread. I'm sorry for staying at your house for a long time." He said.

"Oh no, it's okay. Stay as long as you need to. My mom and Yuni went to my grandparent's house, so they won't be back until the evening."

"Oh. Okay then."

"I'm going to take a shower so, make yourself at home." I walked upstairs and grabbed a towel. I went in the bathroom and started to take a shower. Taking a shower in the morning is calming, I like it. I washed my hair with shampoo and rinsed. Now I had to wash my body. I finished taking a shower within about fifth teen minutes. I grabbed a robe and wore it. And then, I saw a huge, disgusting spider. I screamed out of the top of my lungs. Jun jumped because of my scream and rushed upstairs.

"Minah, are you okay?" He said while knocking on the bathroom door. I opened the door and rushed to him. "What is going on? Why did you scream?"

"There is a huge spider in the bathroom. I don't like spiders. Please kill it for me." I said in a shaky voice. I don't know what kind of face put on in front of him.

"Don't worry. I'll kill it for you." He got some tissue and killed the spider. He threw the tissue down the toilet and flushed it. "See, all done. There is nothing to be scared about." I was hugging him so tightly, I didn't want to let go. "It's okay, Minah." And he patted my head softly. But then he stopped. He said, "Minah, let go of me, please."

"No! I don't want to…"

"I think it's better if you should…" His face got red again.

"Why?" I asked. He covered his face with his hand and said, "Please change and wear some clothes…" I looked at myself and realized that I was only wearing a robe. I totally forgot! I quickly let go of Jun and raced to my room. BA-THUMP! BA-THUMP! I closed the door and sat down on the floor. My face was burning with embarrassment. That was too embarrassing… How do I face him now…? I changed my clothes and went back out as if nothing had happened. I had to stay cool and calm.

"You okay now?" Jun asked. I jumped a bit. I had to stay cool.

"Y-yeah… I'm all good…" I said, totally NOT cool. I walked to the living room trying to avoid Jun. I sat down on the couch and turned on the T.V. Jun came over and sat next to me on my left side. I moved to the right more. Then he move to the right too. I moved again. He moved again too! I moved once more and fell off of the couch. I looked up and see Jun's face. "Why are you avoiding me?" He asked with a serious face.

"B-be-because it's embarrassing to stay next to you because you like me and… And…" I was getting flustered. The words won't come out of my mouth.

"And what?" He asked.

"And… and… Argh! I can't say it! It's too embarrassing!" I stood up and tried to run away from Jun, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the couch. Our faces were close to each other. I turned my head. I can't face him like this, my face is too flustered. He put his hand on the side of my face and turned it so my face and look at his face. "Say that you like me. 'Cause I know you do."

"I…I li… I like…" The words out of my mouth were scrambling.

"Hmm…? Like what?" Jun said in a smooth, cool voice.

"I like… I like you…" It felt my heart was going to explode! Jun hugged me and said, "You are too cute." And then he kissed my forehead. I blushed with a red face…
