Ep 3
"Did you... just say you... would bring me there?"asked Candace.
"Yes. Only if you promise not to mess with us again,"said Hyun Joong.
"Fine. And i'm not... messing with you!"said Candace.
"I'll be going to Japan for a few days, i'll be back to pick you up. We need to go,its late. And strive harder for your Korean, its easier for us to communicate,"said Hyun Joong.
"Fine... You're starting to sound... like my mum,"said Candace.
Hyun Joong rolled his eyes. The boys are about to leave but Candace suddenly shouted "Kim Hyun Joong!"
"Don't shout my name out loud!"said Hyun Joong.
"Then... what do i call you?"asked Candace.
"Just call me oppa(brother)"said Hyun Joong.
"More like jerk oppa,"said Candace.
"What?! Ugh... Stop being childish!"said Hyun Joong.
"I'm not being childish!"said Candace.
"Can you guys stop arguing?"asked Kyu Jong.
"Fine,"said Candace turning back to Hyun Joong,"How do i know when you will be back?"asked Candace.
Hyun Joong handed out his phone and said,"Give me your phone number, i'll call you."
"Wow. So this how celebrity gets girl's phone number..."murmured Candace.
"What?"asked Hyun Joong.
"Nothing... Here you go,"said Candace giving back Hyun Joong's phone.
***
Three days past but Hyun Joong still hasn't called.
"Selena, do you think Kim Hyun Joong lied? I mean... he has not called for three days,"asked Candace.
"Well, they are going to Japan. Who knows when he'll be back?"said Selena.
Candace looked away looking disappointed.
"Why so sad? I thought you didn't care about him?"said Selena teased.
"Its not about him..."said Candace blushing,"its... about Gayageum,"said Candace.
"Oh yeah? Or do you like him?"said Selena.
"No! How can it be? He's 23 and i'm 15. We're 8 years apart. It impossible!"said Candace.
For this few days, Candace worked hard on her Korean remembering what Hyun Joong said"... And strive harder for your Korean, its easier for us to communicate." For that, Candace worked hard. She check her phone several times a day, just to make sure that she didn't miss Hyun Joong's call. Five days passed but Hyun Joong still have not called, Candace was about to give up when suddenly...
'I'll be coming tomorrow at 1 to pick you up. Oppa.'
"He's coming! Oh my god! What should i wear?"Candace thought. "What i'm i so anxious about? I must be going crazy..."
But still Candace can't help smiling to herself.
"Hey!"Selana sneaked up on Candace back,"What are you so happy about?"
"Nothing..."said Candace trying to keep her phone.
Selena snatch Candace's phone and saw the message,"Oh... thats what you're so happy about!"
"No! Thats not it! I'm going to sleep!"said Candace rushing off to bed.
"You can run but you can't hide! Haha!"said Selena.
Candace tossed and turned trying to get to sleep but she's too excited.
When she finally get some sleep, she woke up, its 11am.
'11am?!'thought Candace. She quickly woke up and try to find the best outfit. It cannot be too casual or too fancy. Taking out all her clothes, she made a mess in the room. When Selena saw her and the clothes, her mouth dropped.
"What happen in here? Did the tornado struck?"asked Selena.
"I'm trying to find a outfit, but nothing is good,"said Candace.
"Need some help?"asked Selena.
"Help?"said Candace.
"Yeah... I know all the members of SS501 well enough. Now, Hyun Joong... He likes girls to wear skirts so they look more feminine but he doesn't like them to be so revealing..."Selena explained on and Candace listened carefully, taking note of every detail. And finally got the right outfit.
Its 12.57.
"Oh my gosh! I'm running late!"said Candace.
Selena look at Candace with doubt.
"I mean... not that i care!"said Candace.
Candace rushed down but see no one in sight.
30 minutes passed but Hyun Joong still not here.
Candace starts to get impatient, another 15 minutes pass and Hyun Joong arrived in a old, out-dated, salon car.
Candace stepped in and said,"You're late."
"Sorry, can't get up..."said Hyun Joong.
"Ugh,"said Candace rolling her eyes. "And... this is your car? Old and out-dated?"asked Candace.
"What do you mean old and out-dated?"asked Hyun Joong, "Hmm, anyway, your Korean has improved."
"Yeah. Its all because you said..."Candace stopped.
"Said what?"asked Hyun Joong.
"Said... I mean... I'm afraid you would laugh at me,"said Candace.
"Ha-ha-ha. I'm laughing now,"said Hyun Joong.
"Very funny,"said Candace. "And why is your eye bag so heavy?"
"And why do you have so many questions to ask?"asked Hyun Joong.
"What? Whats wrong with asking questions? If you don't want me to ask you questions then i tell you about me then,"asked Candace.
"Ah. Don't want to hear..."said Hyun Joong. Candace said "Well, you are going to! Firstly, my full name is Canda...". "La-la-la! Can't hear you!"said Hyun Joong laughing.
They enjoyed their little fun conversation and by the time they know it they've reached.
"Is this the place?" asked Candace.
"Yeah... You go in yourself. I'll wait here."said Hyun Joong.
"No! You go in with me! My Korean is still now very good yet!"said Candace.
"You will be fine! Don't worry, just go in,"said Hyun Joong.
"No. Go in with me!"said Candace pulling his hand.
Just then, a pretty girl in her twenties came out and said,"Hello. Can i help?"
"Yes,"said Candace then pushing Hyun Joong.
"I... Em..."said Hyun Joong trying to look away.
"Hyun Joong? Is that you?"she whispered. "It is you. Em... Come in."
They stepped in and saw a counter and at the back there was some rooms with old-looking doors.
"Can i help?"asked the girl.
"I want to learn Gayageum. I'm from Singapore and i learned it before and i want to contiune learning it here,"said Candace.
"Oh. I will have to speak to teacher about this,"said the girl.
"Ok,"said Candace then turning back to Hyun Joong who look lost in his own world again.
"Hello? Jerk oppa?"said Candace.
"Don't call me Jerk oppa! Just oppa,"said Hyun Joong.
"Haha!"said Candace.
"Sorry to interrupt, but teacher would like to see you,"said the girl.
"Ok..."said Candace.
She walked to the door and knocked. No one answered. She knocked again. Still no one answered. She open a bit of the door and peeked. There was a lady with few strands of white hair, back-facing the door said,"You've have just failed your first test-no patience."
"Opps!"thought Candace. Not knowing what she should do next, she closed back the door.
"No need to do repeat that, come in and sit down,"said the teacher.
When Candace was about to sit, the teacher said,"failed the second test, you are supposed to greet me before you sit."
Now the teacher is just getting on Candace's nerves.
"Good afternoon, teacher,"said Candace.
"Hmm. Now pour me some tea,"said the teacher.
"What?! Pour her tea? What does she treat me as? Her servant?"thought Candace.
There is two cups of teacup and pour some tea into the teacher's teacup then pour her some tea herself.
"Failed again. I didn't say you can pour tea for yourself, thats no manners."said the teacher.
"What?" No manners?" said Candace unable to control herself,"You're the one with no manners! You're back facing me while talking to me."
The teacher turned and shouted "Chae Rim!"
"Yes teacher?"asked the girl.
"Bring this girl out."said the teacher.
"No need. I can walk,"said Candace.
Candace walking out said to Hyun Joong,"Come on, lets go."
