When Sara got to the house, she was not surprised to find Miss Kang there. She had a big smile on her face as she spoke with Jianjun. "Yes, it"s next Friday. You have to be there"
Sara knew instantly, what Miss Kang was talking about. It was Joreen"s end of session party. They really didn"t need Miss Kang to remind them but she had already made it an habit of reminding them whenever she came around. Since it was a good excuse to visit Jianjun. They just had to let her keep up with it.
"h.e.l.lo Sara, you look drained. Are you sick?" Miss Kang asked as she stood up to check her temperature.
"She"s acting like my mother already" Sara almost giggled. "I"m good. You look lovely by the way"
She blushed. "Thank you darling. I heard you moved when I visited your place yesterday. So I followed Joreen here today." She explained. "Oh. And you know Joreen missed school on Tuesday. I wanted to know what"s up" She winked at Sara.
Sara was not in the mood to indulge her. After entertaining her for a while, she greeted Jianjun and went straight to the bedroom. It was almost time to pick up Bilike from the hospital. But before then, she needed a good sleep.
When she entered, Joreen was busy with her laptop, watching a K-drama. "You should be reading for your exams" Sara advised.
"Big sis. You"re early today. Are you sick?" Joreen paused the drama and faced her.
"I"m good. I just want to rest for a while." She really did not want to b.u.mp into Muchen when he returned since it was getting to the evening already.
"You should eat first. Dad prepared Nigerian Jollof rice. You can"t miss it" Joreen licked her lips to show how delicious it was.
Sara gave a short laugh. "He should be saving money, why cooking extravagantly this period?"
"You didn"t eat well last night. Even this morning. He hoped your favourite food would boost your appet.i.te. Don"t disappoint him and eat it okay?"
Sara didn"t know who was the big sister here right now. It was as if they had switched roles.
"Come watch this. Just this scene. I"ll go bring your food in here for you" She took Sara"s hands and made her seat in front of the laptop which was positioned on the table.
Sara sat there like a Zombie. She knew Joreen wouldn"t let her off if she refused to watch it. Then the scene appeared. "Isn"t this City Hunter?" Sara asked. She didn"t watch kdramas. But she had met a scene or two when Joreen was.
"Yes, it is. The other movie refused to play" She complained "And I promised to catch up with Sis Heya." She pouted. "I was just rewatching it. And this is one of my favourite scenes. Enjoy your watch" Joreen left for the kitchen after she made sure Sara was watching it.
On the scene was the Male and female lead featuring Lee Min Ho and Park Min Young. Both starring as Yoon-Sung and Nana.
He sees nana sleeping on the couch and tucks her in, watching her sleep in that totally smitten way. He brushes the hair out of her face and gets up, but then stops and turns around…
He leans down toward her face and traces her eyebrow with his finger And then he leans in ever so slowly, to kiss her. She opens her eyes. He stops, but he doesn"t pull away either and she squeezes her eyes shut. He moves towards her and as he got closer, his phone rang.
"Why does this feel so familiar?" Sara wondered. She heard a voice in her head ask
"Do you want to kiss me?"
That voice, it sounded just like Muchen"s. And then, images began to flash through her mind. She was touching his dimple, he was smiling at her, they both spoke but she could not make out what they said to each other. She knew it must have been real. She had seen a blanket covering her when she woke up.
She gasped in shock as she used both hands to cover her mouth.
"Sis, are you okay? Are you fine?" Joreen asked as she carefully placed the tray of food beside the bed and moved to where she was.
Sara gulped down whatever saliva she could find in her mouth and nodded. "Joreen w.a.n.g. Stop watching things like this. You"re still so young for this" She scolded and shut the laptop abruptly.
Joreen didn"t know what was up with Sara. She just stared at her as she left the room. "What"s up with her these days? She"s always getting angry". She only wished her sister was okay.
Sara met Jianjun returning from seeing Miss Kang off, in the living room. "You"re going out again?" He asked.
"Yes. I need to take a stroll"
"You look exhaused. You haven"t even freshened up. You should eat first. I prepared Nigerian Jollof rice" He said.
It was one of Sara"s favourite. She liked eating it, especially with Jianjun"s special salad and duck meat. But today, she wasn"t really finding her appet.i.te. "I"ll be back soon" And with that, she left the house.
She was just walking round the neighborhood when she caught glimpse of a car following her. "You don"t ever listen" She said to Dexi who was smiling at her as he got down from the backseat.
"Missed me?" He asked.
"I would have said you were the last thing on my mind. But you are not on my mind at all"
