Hats Off to Kun
Tae looked down at her watch for the fourth time. It was only three forty-five. She didn't know why she always felt the need to be early. Ga-Woon had told her to meet him at the mall around four. She looked around and noticed her cousin was wandering away from her toward a store window. The window display had some brightly colored hats in it.
She silently pondered why Ga-Woon had insisted on Jung-Woo coming along on their date. As far as she knew Ga-Woon was still uncomfortable around him. Neither of them ever talked except for the casual hellos. She stared at her cousin while he observed the hat display. He was wearing a hat he had borrowed from her. It was one that had bunny ears hanging off of it. It looked ridiculous, and she had only bought it for laughs, but she had to admit, it did look rather cute on Jung-Woo.
Creeping up behind him she circled her arms around his chest. She could see their reflection through the glass of the window display. Two identical faces stared back at her. Even though they were both changing physically, people could still easily mistake them as twins. She often wished they had been brother and sister. At that moment his cold detached eyes met hers in the window.
"I love you." She breathed in his ear, as her heart sank. She knew he wouldn't say, "Me too." He had led a very different life than her. She had loving parents, while he had a mother who had neglected him for eight years. Then when she had tired of him, she had dumped him off on their grandmother's steps. She hugged him closer as she thought about this. He squeezed her hand slightly, and she could see his shaky reflection in the window. Suddenly another figure appeared behind them.
"Aw, isn't that picture perfect," Ga-Woon smirked. Tae let go of her cousin, who seemed to still be mesmerized by the many hats.
"Hey, so want to do some shopping?" She asked as she quickly embraced her boyfriend.
"Well, we need to wait on one more person." Ga-Woon said giving her a wide grin.
"Who are we waiting on, and why do you look like you're up to something?" Tae questioned giving her boyfriend a skeptical look.
Kun approached the mall entrance wondering why Ga-Woon would want to hang out here. Neither of them really liked to shop. Kun got most of his clothing free from modeling jobs, and Ga-Woon could care less about what he wore.
Once in the mall Kun could only stare at the group before him. He cautiously approached the twin set of blonds, and his friend. He didn't know whether to run or hide. Surely Ga-Woon didn't mean this to be some kind of a double date, did he?
He looked at his date with dread as he noticed Jung-Woo's ridiculous hat. Well, if this was a double date, then he took dibs on Tae. After all it was his deranged friend who had set this up. Ga-Woon had finally noticed him and waved him over to the small group.
"Hi." Kun greeted him bitterly. He quickly moved toward Tae and put an arm around her. Tae seemed to be looking at Ga-Woon with a puzzled look.
"So, I guess this is a double date? It's about time you came out of the closet Ga-Woon. Oh, and he's so adorable!" Kun said as he looked back and forth between Jung-Woo and Ga-Woon. At this comment Jung-Woo slowly turned from the window display and gave Ga-Woon a cold look.
"I thought you cared about Tae, and you were no longer attracted to me." Jung-Woo said with a hint of anger.
"Trust me when I say I was never into you. Well, maybe your looks, but lets just say you don't have much going on upstairs." Ga-Woon retorted sourly.
Tae stared angrily at her soon to be ex-boyfriend. She couldn't believe what he had just said about her cousin. Swatting Kun's arm off her shoulder she went to embrace Jung-Woo in a protective hug.
"Jung-Woo has a lot more going for him than you two assholes." She declared vengefully.
Oh, no, Ga-Woon thought. He had really done it now. Tae was very protective of Jung-Woo. Sometimes he just didn't think before he spoke. Kun was right; he had meant this to be a double date, in a way. He knew how important Jung-Woo was to Tae. This way they could hang out with each other and the people they cared about the most.
"Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you two losers go on a date, and Jung-Woo and I will hang out with each other." Tae spat angrily interrupting Ga-Woon's thoughts.
Kun could see that this was going to end badly if he didn't do anything to diffuse the situation. Although he was jealous of the relationship Ga-Woon and Tae shared, he didn't want to see it end. He walked over to where Tae held her cousin in a death grip, and pulled her off of him. He stared down at Jung-Woo and wondered if he could really go through with this. Then he looked to Ga-Woon who had his head down in shame and disappointment.
"Well, I guess it's you and me kid." Kun said as he ran his fingers through the ends of Jung-Woo's silky blond hair.
Tae stared at Kun in horror. He wasn't really ok with this, was he? She looked to her cousin to see how he felt about all of this. All she got was his blank cold stare. Then she turned to Ga-Woon whose eyes were glittering in aw as he looked to his friend.
"I do have one condition before we start this little date of ours." Kun said as he placed his hands on the top of Jung-Woo's hat. "This God awful thing has got to go," and with that Kun pulled off the hat and turned to go into the hat store.
"Well, I hope you're happy." Tae snapped at Ga-Woon. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
Kun emerged from the hat store moments latter carrying a plain black baseball cap. He placed the cap onto Jung-Woo's head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Much better, don't you all agree?" Kun said with a wink. Tae looked at Jung-Woo who seemed to be giving Kun a half smile. She rarely got to see her cousin smile, except for the time she let him borrow her hats. After that he had started to hang out with her more. She felt sorry for Kun because he didn't realize what he had just done. Tae shrugged it off and decided that since they were in a mall, it was time to do some shopping.
