Kai's Cinderella

Hearing More From Mom

Kai’s POV
Why did I get mad about Hwayoung being with Kris it’s like I control her life.
I groan and she looks back at me, “Jongin are you alright?”
Hearing her say my real name send butterflies into my stomach.
“Yeah…” I answer and I know I don’t sound very sure of myself.
she stops walking and turns toward me completely looking me over, “Are you sure?”
“Yeah, it’s just i was thinking about something,” not a complete lie.
“Ahh that’s good.”
She stops at her house and I wonder why I never knew she was practically my neighbor until I picked her up.
I sigh when i hear someone shout and Hwayoung curses, “Sorry I have to go. Are you picking me up again?”
I nod my head and she runs off through a small gate at the side of her house.
I want to look through it, but I think I’d look like a stalker and it’s none of my business from what I know she’s dating Kris.
I kick the gate hard hurting my foot and I start mumbling curses.
I sigh when I only go down a house and up my driveway too see my mom standing there waiting for me.
‘Sweetheart, why did you leave like that?”
“sorry mom I was trying to clear my head and now I think I broke a toe.”
She sighs patting a seat for me to sit down.
“what did you do?”
“Kicked a fence,” I answer truthfully because my mom would get the truth from me anyways.”
My mom shakes her head and looks at me, ‘Your sister is coming home.”
“Alright,” I answer.
“So why did you kick the fence?’
“Mom what do you know about the Choi’s?”
“I know the Kwan and Hwayoung are two of the sweetest kids I’ve ever met even with a psychotic step mother.”
“What do you mean?”
“You know they live down the street right?”
I nod my head.
“When Hwayoung was young she was not allowed to play at all. All she had done was become a maid. She was too look after her sewp sisters if she didn’t she’d get beaten. The first time I found her beaten she had slipped through the backyards of the houses between our homes and hid in our garden. After I treated her and she simply told me her name I told her that she could always hid there if she ever needed too. She always came when she was in need.”
“Is that why the garden was off limits?”
My mother nods her head, “Yeah, She never knew any kids her own age outside of school. It took me 2 years to get her to tell me what was happening. When I said I was going to tell her father was one of the first times I saw fright on her face.”
I look at my mom and I think about how I never saw Hwayoung act afraid of something. The only time I did was when she almost fell down the stairs on her first day of school.
“What do you know about her mom?”
“Why do you ask?”
I look away from her and just say it, “Cause everyone keeps telling me that I love her or something, but I know almost nothing about her.”
“Why not ask her?”
Damn mothers for asking questions when all you want are answers.
“I’m not sure yet and we’re not really friends.”
“Then why drive her to school so you can become friends.”
I look at my mom and give her pleading eyes, “Mom please.”
After about 10 minutes of a stare off she caves in, “Fine. Look you know she’s your age and smart, but what you probably don’t know is that she’s an amazing dancer and artist.”
“I’ve seen her draw before. It was amazing especially since she wasn’t looking.”
“she does that. Sometimes I think it’s automatic for her too draw something if she finds it pretty. Her cousin crystal who too hide with her when she’d come over.’
“Crystal. Oh I met her the other day with the guys.”
“I did see her run by me like she heard Kwan was going to die or something.”
“Ahh she did burst in kind of fast. Well i think her and Tao will end up dating.’
My mom nods her head, “Those two are a lot alike. It’ll be interesting if they end up dating.”
I ignore my mother getting ahead of herself.
I hear a small crash that sounds like it’s supposed to be far away and someone yell.
I race out of the house too see Hwayoung holding an oversized garbage bag.
I walk over to her, ‘hwayoung are you okay?”
She looks up and it seems too take a while for it to register in her head that I live only a house down.
“Yeah, just got in a small fight with Hyuna about the garbage.”
I notice as I look closely at her how her cheek is slightly pink like she was slapped.
“What happened?”
“Her answer to me telling her to do it herself.”
She sighs as she looks up, “Now my dad will probably think you hit me.”
I look at her slightly shocked and I take out a small bandage and place it on her cheek.
“There just say a girl hit you at school. it wouldn’t be a full out lie.”
A seemly average middle age man slips out of a car and looks at us.
“Oh Jongin it’s nice to see you.”
“It’s nice to see you again Mr. Choi.”
He nods his head, “did your mom need something?’
“No, I was just chatting with your daughter Hwayoung.”
“Why?”
“We’re classmates and friends so I was trying to talk her into giving me her notes.”
He seems too buy it, “Alright. Hwayoung what happened to your face?”
“A girl in my class hit me when school ended. It was an accident dad.”
“Is my daughter telling the truth?” he asks me.
“Yeah, she apologized and everything.”
I can’t believe I’m helping covering up her abuse from her own dad.
“Alright. Hwayoung when you’re done with the garbage come inside I’m going to have a talk with you and your stepmother.”
“Of course dad,” she answers and when he's inside she sighs in relief, “Thank you.”
“No, problem we’re friends after all.”
She smiles at me and I feel my heart skip a beat, “yeah. I like the sound of that. so I’ll see you tomorrow Jongin.”
I nod my head, “Yeah. I’ll drive you to school since it’d be easier for everyone.”
“Yeah. I’ll tell Kris and Chanyeol.”
“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow Hwayoung.”
“Yeah, see ya.”
When she heads up too her house I notice her step is a bit lighter almost like she’s really happy.
I smile as I head back to my house too see my mom standing at the door waiting for me.
“So what happened?”
“Nothing really mom.”
“Liar,” before more can be said her phone goes off, “Oh right I have rounds tonight. Just tell her you like her cause form I can see she likes you too.”

It's okay, it's a pot and kettle conversation here. I haven't written in months because school is dragging me down. As we get closer to the end of the year more work adds up and so does the stress. Anywho, eagerly awaiting the next installment! Fighting!
