When We Return

Chapter Eight

"Don't push me!" I tried to shrug his hands from my shoulders but he held on my back instead. "Get your hands off me!!" I hissed forcing his hands to let go of me.

"Let's not waste time. Hurry up!" Well, as per usual, he pushed me forward causing me to lose my footing and almost trip on the ground.

I glared at him but he just shrugged and waved his hand in a 'go on' manner.

"I'm going to kill you." I said under my breath before I walked away with rattled knees.

I shouldn't have agreed to do this. I shouldn't have been so confident about winning.

But he cheated!!

Glancing back once again, I tried to act pity while pouting my lips but he slowly shakes his head no that brought back the scowl on my face. So, I rolled my eyes and whip my head and just go to where he instructed me to do my consequence.

Standing like an idiot in front of our fellow hikers taking a break in front of a Buddhist temple, clutching on my sides to dry my already sweaty palms, and took a deep breath.

I lift my arms and moved it in a weird way, I bet I look like the Chinese coin cat.

"You look like a retard. That's what not dance look like." A voice called out from behind and I looked back to scoff at the person reliable for what I'm currently doing.

To avoid further arguments, I moved my feet along with my arms but I imagine myself dancing a broken robot dance.

I can feel a lot of eyes looking at me right now that I desperately want the ground to open and swallow me whole. Why do I have to suffer like this?

"You still have four minutes left!" he called out once again that I can only close my eyes out of irritation.

I continued to move in a stoic movement that earned some laughter from the growing crowd. Upon realizing that a lot of hikers stopped from their hiking and decided to watch me, I stopped dancing and for a moment have a panic attack and agitated in my place.

Totally embarrassed, I looked down on the ground and never dared to look forward. It's always a worse decision to follow that guy. argh.

Suddenly, an upbeat music was played on the background and someone danced beside me. That was the only time I lift my head to look who's dancing only to find it was him.

"What the hell." I utter as I watch him doing things I haven't witnessed before. I suddenly had the urge to leave him and act as someone who doesn't know him.

"You owe me one, Sowon!" he screamed while out of breath dancing, well no, sorry it's not dancing. Shit, I don't even know that kind of dance exist.

I must leave at once.

But instead of leaving, I stood there, dumbfounded, and I don't even remember taking out my phone until I found myself recording his silly-what-the-hell-dance.

The crowd clapped in amazement as soon as Jay-Jay bowed dramatically in front of them. They like that? That was worse than mine!!

"You insulted my dance but you called that dance?" I asked in a blank state when he approached me, and the proud big head shrugged his shoulder in a mocking way.

"We danced differently, though. I have confidence while you don't." he simply said and left me there.

I harshly let out a breath and twitched my upper lip upward.

He went to get our things placed on the ground and lift his backpack to his back.

"Still didn't change the fact that you cheated!! I hate you!!" I swat him on the back of his head which was a lot of work since I have to jump on my feet just to reach his head. Have I told you he's tall? Well, yeah, he is.
