Chapter 31: How To Be Ninja

"I said, do you like Joshua?" he repeated. I didn't want to answer

"Silence means yes," he frowned. I kept quiet still.

"You're slowly breaking me apart," he added.

no no no noooo I didn't mean to do any of this!!!! what should I do!? I like joshua! but hoshi is just making me lose my mind.

"I told you already, I don't want to make you feel like this,"

"Why can't you like me back?" he lay down and rested his head on my lap. ugh damn it. I bit my lip as I covered my face with both hands

this is just a simple problem, how can it be so hard to solve!? I'd rather solve thousands of math problems

"How come he teaches you math?" he asked, "I can teach you math too!"

sure, keep talking

"Come on!" he cheeredsas he sat up and grabbed my arm, "I'll teach you taekwondo!" he jumped

"What? Why?"

"Self defense!" he kicked up, and it almost hit my head. I was frozen for a moment.

damn, this boy can do better high kicks than any other girl

"And you'll know how to throw people too!" he tried to carry me over his shoulder

"NOOOO SOONYOUNG PUT ME DOOOWN!" I shouted and struggled to escape. fortunately, he did what I said

"chill, I won't throw you," he laughed

I was breathing in and out repeatedly because for a second I thought he would wrestle me up inside my own house

"So, do you want to learn?" he did aegyo

I looked at the clock, then back at him

"When are you going home?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm staying here!" he jumped

"You can't stay here,"

"I'll keep you company, your mom goes home late, right? when she comes home, i'll leave,"

"She goes home at 1am or 2, it's just 11pm," I explained "And I'm sleepy,"

"Let's stay in your room!" he excitedly replied

no shame, soonyoung. I already let seungkwan, wonwoo, joshua and sunyoul inside my room but....

I'm really not sure with this kid. He grabbed my arm and we ran upstairs

"Let go!" I shouted but he didn't listen. we stopped in front of my bedroom door

his smile is up to his ears and he looks very very excited. I turned the knob. the door flew open and he rushed inside to throw himself on my bed.

"I LOVE THIS PLACE!" he shouted

"Can you tone down, please?" I facepalmed. Hoshi started jumping on my bed like a five year old

"And don't jump!" I ordered. he stopped and lay down instead, "Can I sleep here?"

"No,"

"But it's so fluffy and soft, like me!" he laughed

"You're not fluffy and soft,"

"Try me, Minseul," he laughed devilishly and accidentally hit his head on the wall. I reached for his leg and pulled him off
