Chapter Nine

I'd be filming 3 Days 2 Nights for three months. I'd see them three times a week. I have now finished twelve out of thirteen weeks. I'm on my way home now. I feel sad, leaving them. But I'll be seeing them again in a few days. So why? I sigh. I think I've become boy crazy. When I open the door to the apartment I'm met with a huge embrace.


"E-Eomma. I can't breathe." I say as I struggle for oxygen.


She reluctantly lets go. I'm ushered into the house. Mom takes my bag and sits me down on the table.


"You must be hungry. Let me cook something up." Eomma says, already taking out the pots and pans.


"Eun Kyung-ah!" I hear two familiar voices.


"Harabuji! Halmoni!" I exclaim and run to them.


They both hug me tightly. Gosh, I missed my family so much. The two of them immediately begin to dote on me. I have to admit, I was spoiled with love. Although our family always seems so happy, there are times we are hurting. There are things that are too hard to talk about. That's why we try to always be happy. To cover up our sadness. (A/N #foreshadowing)


Over all our loud chatter, I almost don't hear the doorbell ringing.


"I'll get it!" I yell and run to the door.


I'm tackled down to the floor. By none other than my best friend, Kim Hwa Young. I sort of laugh and wheeze at the time as her weight crushes me. How can she look so skinny yet weigh like an elephant?


"Yah! You never called me. How could you? You're such a bad friend." She whines.


"I-"- she cuts me off.


"Tell me everything." She demands.


"Uh... Should I come some other time?" I hear someone ask.


I look up to see Min Ho. Hwa Young abruptly stands up


"Aniyo. You can join us, oppa." I say with a smile as I fix my hair.


He smiles back. Mom comes out holding a spatula and sighs.


"The more the merrier." She mumbles before returning to the kitchen.


I giggle. She shoos me away as I come to help her, threatening me with the spatula. We all gather around together and play games and listen to harabuji tell stories. It felt very peaceful. Soon after we sit at the table to eat.


"Min Ho-ssi," wom a starts, "tell us a little bit more about yourself. I hae are you'll start teaching at the girls' school."


"Sort of. I'll be a student teacher.I'm only twenty." He explains.


"It must be lonely living alone. Do you ever visit your parents?" She continues.


"Every once in awhile. Lately with so many exams it's been a but difficult." Oppa replies.


"If you ever need anything just ring us. That's what neighbors are for."


Next to me Hwa Young slightly kicks my leg and mumbles, "You never told me you had a cute neighbor."


"You were too busy not paying attention." I mumble back.


Why does she care anyway? Now that I think about it, this whole time she's been staring at Min Ho. I couldn't help but notice how she giggled every time he said something. I frown. What does this mean? I shake my head, never mind that.


Once we're done eating Min Ho and I do the dishes. Halmoni puts on some old salsa cassette tape that I have no idea where she got from. Slowly, I began to feel myself swaying to the music. Min Ho takes my hand and begins to dance. I burst out laughing at his weird moves.


"Oppa, what are we doing?" I ask through a fit of giggles.


He twirls me. "Dancing of course!"


That's how our night ends. Full of laughter and dancing and lots of joy.

The next couple of days flew by. I was almost surprised when the van came to pick me up. I smile at the driver as I climb in. Butterflies fill my stomach on the ride to the house. Just like they had the first time. My palms were beginning to sweat. Ah, how embarrassing. I need to get a grip. The driver takes my bag for me and I thank him. I knock on the door and wait.


"Eun Kyung-ssi!" Ji Min exclaims.


He takes hold of my hand and grabs by my bag with the other and pulls me into the house. He throws it onto the floor and sits me down on the couch.


"We missed you so much. Our schedules were boring without you." He begins to whine.


I blush. "I doubt it. How could you miss me when you just met me?"


He smiles. "You make quite the impression."


J-Hope walks in with his usual smile.


"Annyeonghaseyo, oppa." I say with a slight bow.


"Oh! You didn't stutter." He exclaims.


I blush once again.


"So I guess I did sound as foolish as I thought." I mumble.


"No, it was cute actually." Jin says, suddenly appearing behind me.


I yelp, startled. My face turns so red when they tease me like that. I bury my face in my knees. I was getting more embarrassed by the second.


"Yah, what are you three doing to her?" I hear Rap Mon jokingly ask.


"Welcome back, Eun Kyung-ssi." Suga says.


"Thank,you." I respond shyly as I'm once again returning to my shell.


I frown. Everyone is hear except Jung Kook. Is he okay? Did something happen? I look around once more.


"W-Where's Jung Kook oppa?" I ask.


"Taking a shower." Rap,Monster nonchalantly replies.


My face turns red. Yah Lee Eun Kyung! What are you thinking? But still, I am the only girl in a house full of boys. I shake my head and slap my cheeks.


"Uh... Eun Kyung-ssi, are you okay?" Ji Min ask warily.


I look up. "Huh? Oh...yeah."


They continue to talk and ask questions and I answer as best as I can. Soon after Jung Kook walks in with a plain white shirt and sweat pants on. His hair dripping wet and his skin still glistening form the water. I look away while blushing.


"Why didn't you tell me she was here? I would've finished up sooner." Jung Kook complains.


For some reason my heart skips a beat. I refocus my attention when one of the PD clears her throat.


"Today we'll be going to an amusement park. We will also be performing the punishment and reward from last week's mission. It will take place at a haunted house. The person who,received last place will have to enter the haunted house alone. The winner will get to choose who they want to go with, they may only choose one person. Two groups of two, a group of three and one person by themselves."


We all nod in understanding.


"Is everyone ready?" She asks.


===========================================================


A/N: So not a lot of stuff with the boys for this chapter. However, it was important to include all this stuff with Min Ho because he will take part in our love square. I have a whole bunch of ideas planned out in my head. Also, I wasn't going to cast someone to play Eun Kyung but I changed my mind. I chose Yoon Je Yoo because she has a cute and innocent image and that's how I view Eun Kyung in my head as well. Please anticipate what is to come.
