chapter 5

When we got to Seo garden, I was breathing so fast, this dude is tryna take my breath away but it won't work, I said to myself.

Babe why were you running like that.

I ran because you were driving me crazy Kang Dan.

How exactly am I driving you crazy.

So you still don't think you almost drove me crazy?

No. I don't.

Then forget about it, plainly forget about it, I said in an angry voice.

Am sorry to have pissed you off dear.

Firstly, (I opened my eyes wide in anger) am not your dear and secondly, sorry for what. For almost driving me nuts or for lying about us dating.

For everything (he replied immediately)

Well I can't forgive you that easily.

I walked forward leaving the garden and he followed me. What a love freak, I said with a smirk. He pulled me back and said:

Hey babe don't leave.

Why shouldn't I leave

Because I wanna spend more time with you.

친자(really) I explained acting surprised.

Yes, he answered back.

Is that so.

네 (yes)

Well... I smiled, not a chance I'm willing to give.

Please honey. I felt shivers run down my spines when he called me honey but I wasn't willing to open up my heart to him. And the next thing I heard myself say was:

Ehhn, you say wetin. Who be your honey, abeg, na beg I dey beg you, my mama no be bee oo, no come here come dey call me honey. I was shocked at my words as I haven't spoken pidgin in a long time but I acted cool and he was surprised at my words.

Wow ...

Wetin dey wow your mouth abeg.

You can speak pidgin English.

No, I can spoke kndigen English, you don see Nigerian wey no Sabi speak before?

Well, no they were all from the states and the ones abroad aren't good at it.

I was a little embarrassed but also surprised that he continued speaking with me and was able to understand me when I spoke pidgin but I switched back to normal English because it's what am used to speaking you know.

Listen Dan, the ones abroad are not only good in pidgin, they speak like they were raised in Africa except the ones born and raised in the states.

Oh. Let's go eat, he changed the topic.

Or aren't you hungry anymore.

I am, but I don't wanna eat with you.

I'll be the one to pay.

And so fucking what.

I'm offering to pay for your lunch my princess, won't you come let's go get some lunch together.

Am not interested I turned to leave again but this time he held my left arm and pleaded.

Please Ma lady, let this cute guy pay for your lunch.

No way I'm allowing that happened I tried flipping my hands off his grip but dawn, his grip was strong.

Please princess please.

At this point people were staring at us and it was turning in a couple scene so I agreed.

Okay, fine. I'll eat with you.

You welcome.

I never said thank you I said and shot him an annoyed look.

But you'll still say it.

I doubt that I will.

We went into a local restaurant and ate tteobokki and he said. I said thank you out of the blue and regret it immediately.

See, I told you, you just thanked me.

Oh gosh! Fine you got me right there. I want to go back to my dorm, bye.

Uhm.. don't go yet princess , spend more time with me.

No, am not interested.

Please.

Not gonna happen.

Please.

No.

Come on princess. I just wanna spend some time with you.

Fine I'll spend the day with you happy now?

Yes, am so excited.

Where should we go first.

Let's go see a musical.

Never seen one before.

Well nows your chance. Let Daddy Dan take you to see one today.

We went to see a musical and we sat at the second rows seat at the theater.

The Korea musical was much more interesting than I had expected it to be, the theme was set in Joseon dynasty.

After it ended we left the theater. Outside the theater he asked me if I'd like to go anywhere else.

Well, I haven't spent up to a week here in Korea and I don't know my way around, I don't know where I'd love to go.

What restaurant would you like to try.

Kang Dan (I shouted his name) do you wanna turn me to a foodie. We are only three hours ago.

Sorry princess, I thought you'd be hungry, most of the black women I dated loved to eat. Am so sorry.

Well not all black women love to eat.

I just realized that. Please don't be mad at me princess.

Well, since you wanna take me out so badly, take me to see a romantic movie or watch a BTS concert.

Ooh wait, you're also an army.

Yes, I love BTS a lot. So Kang Dan, are you taking me or not. Remember just one month for me to fall in love with you.

Well it's hard to get a BTS concert ticket plus all concert tickets for next week's concert is all sold out.

Then we can catch a romantic movie.

Cone on let get going princess. He held my left hand and pulled me along.

We headed to the cinema which wasn't far from where we were currently.

We watched a movie titled: " after everything".

It was a freaking interesting movie. Filed with love, Joy, passion, and romance.

I enjoyed the movie so much.

When we left the cinema, Kang Dan asked If I enjoyed the movie.

Yes, I did thank you so much.

So where else would you like to go.

Since the movie was just one hour we still had more time to spend with each other.

So I said I wanted to see the river at SEO garden.

I want to feel the fresh atmosphere.

Okay,let's go. He held my hands again, only this time he held my hands with so much love and compassion.

I saw Byeol coming towards us and tried to hide from her but she sighted me immediately.

Victory 안영 (hi)

Oh! Byeol. 안녕하세요(hello). What brought you here?

I should ask you same question.

She looked at Kang Dan with killing eyes but he only smiled at her.

She dragged me and looked at Kang Dan with disgust before asking: can I borrow your girlfriend for some minutes?

I was shocked at that statement. As she dragged me to a place far from Kang Dan.

Hey Byeol, I stopped moving and flipped my hand from her.

Who told you we were dating.

No one but your attitude around him. What are you doing with Kang Dan.

He wanted to hang out with me for the day and I happen to be free .

So you agreed?

Yes I did. What could I have done, he asked nicely.

You could have walked away from him the moment your heart soften towards his request.

Why? Like I said we are just chilling. Besides I told you I have no feelings for him.

But what if you start having one.

Then I'll be preparing my heart for a hot breakfast.

What do you mean? Is this a conversation about breakfa...

It's a simple Nigeria slang that means heartbreak.

Oh, sorry I misquoted.its nothing. Not everyone understands African slangs.( Kang Dan interrupts us).

Hey princess, it's getting dark, can you hurry your conversation with your friend.

Okay, coming Dan.

Victory, did Kang Dan just call you princess ( she asked in a surprised expression).

Yes. But it's a long story which I'll tell you at the end of the weekend.

Okay, she said in a tired expression. Run to your bo princess.

I ran to meet Kang Dan like a girlfriend whose boyfriend has been waiting for her to finish speaking with a group of friends on the night of their first date.

What's more funny is that after I got to him I crossed my left arm with his right hand and pulled him along like a couple walking on red carpet at the met galas.

I must say, I've started developing feelings for Kang Dan without even knowing. You'll be surprised to see how I found out.

Kang Dan was as sweet as ever. We both sat at the edge of the river, I didn't know when my head fell on his shoulder. He placed my head properly on his shoulder and his touch woke all the butterflies that were asleep inside my stomach and they started flying around giving me the tings inside.

After some minutes, we decide to leave, he escorted me to my dorm and said; can you clear your schedule next weekend.

Why should I.

I want spend the time with you. He said this in a cool tone while looking into my eyes and I was breathless, Kang Dan looked so sexy with those eyes of his.

I manage to say a shy okay and smiled at him.

It's so good to see you smile at me princess.

He smiled sheepishly and moved close to me. He pulled me into a warm embrace. Oh gosh! His chest was so warm and comfortable I could die of comfort. He pulled away and looked into my eyes again.

I hope you realize how much I love you soon.

I don't know why being with you makes my heart happy all the time. I didn't say anything as I was staring into his eyes and I was lost.

He pressed his lips against mine and gave me a Passionate kiss. All this was happening outside my dorm.

He kissed my upper lips and I kissed his lower lip. He held my waist and pulled me closer to him and I also placed my arms around his neck. I closed my eyes and continued to kiss him.

I opened my eyes realizing what I was doing but this time, you guessed it.

I continued the kiss. I even let him used him tongue to explore every single corner of my mouth there is.
