"If my ball did not slip, I wouldn't be in this kind of situation, running errands for a crazy unni", he cried out in frustration, while crossing the highway before he turned and half race towards the hospital.
" I hate my coffee to be cold, it makes it lose its taste, so you must be here in five minutes then I might consider releasing you for the day as my errand boy" the crazy unni's voice came ringing in his head.
"I have to be fast before that pschyo woman changes her mind" he rushed to the hospital.
The moment he stepped into the ward, the high school girl flashed him a radiant smile, she looked like she was bored, and suddenly finds something interesting.
"Hey what took you so long", she whined and smiled.
" look at her, one would mistake her for a cute angel not knowing she is a devil", he thought in anger.
"I got here a minute late because there was a long queue at the bookstore and here is your hot coffee, so that is it. Goodbye," he dropped the stuff on the table and picked his schoolbag.
" Hey, where do you think you're going, I had not tasted the coffee yet to know if it's hot or not" she stated as a matter of fact.
" Wow, Ahjumma can't you feel it while holding it", the little guy questioned with a puzzled look.
"No, Ahjussi, who knows it might be just hot on the outside and be cold inside" she stated firmly.
"Seriously, are you that nut. It's pointless arguing with you, please go ahead do whatever you want" he said frustrated.
" Oh not bad, but the taste is awful. I told you I hate tasteless coffee, it is so bitter. Hey, why did you bring me this" she said in alarm.
" Are you crazy Ahjumma, it is of no use asking you that, cause you are not in the right senses" the boy replied angrily
"Didn't you made it clear to get you black coffee only, you didn't ask me to get you Americano or latte or cappuccino, or Espresso, so tell me how am I supposed to get you a sweet black coffee", he shrieked.
" You know what, I don't want to waste another minute talking to you, I might go nut like you, So goodbye" he turned and headed for the door.
" Hey!, punk. I didn't release you yet", she shouted after him.
" Ian!, Kim Ian!!", a sophisticated aged woman called out as he was about to enter the elevator.
"Grandmother, Ma'am Luzy", he was shocked.
" Silly child, how can you keep the truth from your grandmother, Am not even aware of what happened to you, why did you keep it from me" she shouted and hit him on his shoulder
" Bad boy until when will you keep it from me, If not because of my suspicion about your strange disappearance in these past five days and your best friend Seo Jun's confession, I won't have known about the accident. Why did you keep it from me, your Grandma, bad child? Am so irresponsible, I don't even know what happened to you in these past five days, am such a bad mother", she cried
"Grandmother, I don't want you to worry about anything that why. I am very sorry", he apologized and hugged his grandmother.
" Why won't I worry about my poor child, you went through a lot, I don't even know about it, am such a bad mother", she cried harder.
"Seo Jun, you shattered box, lousy mouth. If not for you, I won't be in trouble with Ma'am Luzy, and of course, that crazy unni is also to be blamed for sending me annoying errands because of her crazy different cravings, this moment she is asking me Kimchi, the very next minute am craving for Soft Tofu stew, two seconds later, get me Hoeddok, a few minutes later, please I want Japchae badly, two seconds later I don't mind getting chilled coke and pizza for lunch, Oh! how I wish I can eat instant noodles, the next second I am dying for Sundae get me Sundae right now !, twenty minutes later and it won't be a bad thing if I can get dark chocolate to enjoy this comic".
" Aggh, so frustrating, she already finished my monthly allowance on her stupid cravings, apart from that she always makes me get back home late due to her unending errands, so suffocating why will Ma'am Suzy not suspect me, "he thought in outrage.
Still lost in his thoughts before a shrill voice brought him back to reality,
" Ian are you even listening to me at all, where is the angel that saved my dearest grandson, I want to meet her and thank her and her family "
" Angel! seriously, sounds more like a devil" he muttered under his breath.
" What did you say", the old woman questioned with raised eyebrows
"Nothing, this way please" he led the gorgeous old lady and her bodyguards following closely behind to the ward.
The moment the high school girl caught glimpse of him, her gloomy face disappeared into the thin air and was replaced with smiles that gave him goosebumps.
" What a weirdo," he thought to himself.
"Hey you came back, shows that you still have something called heart" she let out still not noticing the people behind him.
"Is that the beautiful angel that saved my son's life, am so so grateful to you for saving my grandson's life, Thank you for saving my grandson's life". she cried out and rushed to the girl.
" Am so grateful to you for saving my son's life and very sorry you got hurt. I apologize for not coming here earlier to thank you. You're such an angel with the kindest wonderful heart to think of others not even thinking about yourself first but thinking about others first, for a young teenager this is so rare you are a precious rare gem. when I heard it I was stunned to hear that a high school kid could do that, thank you. I envy and also praise your parents and families for raising such a good daughter" she explained with joy.
" Wow, she talks a lot for an old woman," she thought and smiled awkwardly at the woman.
"Oh!, don't mention, it nothing. We should thank God instead", she smiled
" Wow, what a beauty inside out, I like to meet your parents and thank them for a good job of raising a wonderful child like you, dearest. If the world can be filled with young teenagers like you, we adults have nothing to worry about. What your name dear child "the old woman smiled.
"Yes, you are right. My name is Kang Suzy", she feigned a smile and nod her head in approval, while boiling with anger inside
" Oh please when is this speech ending, am tired ", she thought angrily.
"A very nice name for an angel like you. I don't know what you like but I brought you this and Sundubu-jjigae (soft tofu stew)" the old lady said and signaled to the two bodyguards with the big bags containing varieties of chocolates, biscuits, cookies, and all kind of junk food, you can find in planet earth, and food container containing the Sundubu-jjigae( soft tofu stew). This is the life Suzy has always dreamed of.
She stared and drooled at them, short of words. "What!, are these all mine, this is so much and too good to be true, wait am I dreaming," she thought and rubbed her eyes quickly.
"Are you okay dearest, do you like them", the old lady's voice brought her to reality.
" Am not dreaming, this is real. This is reality, Wow!, this little guy must be some rich heir or something, judging from the old lady sophisticated dressing and highly maintained skin even at her age and then these junk foods that might have cost a fortune, especially look at that my dreamed cookies in that bag, I can only stare at them at groceries store and dream about what it would taste like, but not allowed to touch them cause they are damn expensive, but now I can have them in reality", she thought happily.
"Omo! this is the life I dreamed of. I like them a lot thank you ma", she exclaimed and grabbed the bags from the table
"You are a beautiful woman with the kindest heart unlike your grandson here so heartless and stingy. I begged him to get me coffee, he brought me bitter black coffee" she pouted.
'You !"Ian shrieked in anger, while the high school girl smirked.
" Ian how can you not take good care of Suzy, so irresponsible" the old lady scolded him and turned back to the girl.
" Don't worry if you need anything just let me know and if he doesn't take good care of you let me know, I will deal with him for you" she promised.
"Thank you, Grandma. You are the best grandma in the world", she smiled before sticking her tongue at the red angry face boy.
" let me get your parent's numbers from the nurse, so I can call them" the old lady and turned to leave.
" Wait let me call her first. You don't need to stress yourself to go to the reception", she smiled mischievously.
"What is she up to now? speaking of parents have not seen any since have been coming here, so strange", the little guy thought to himself.
she hurriedly dialed the number, while lost in her thoughts," I can't allow my dad to be aware of what happened, I need a backup plan to cover up. Thank goodness he is on a business trip now. I did the right thing by giving them a landline phone number at school only Nanny Choi can pick it up and she already keeps everything a secret for me, but right now I need someone who can act as my mother before my dad finds out. I think aunt Hye mi is the best choice, a perfect liar like her is the only person who could take the fake parent role well" she thought to herself before been uninterrupted by the voice at the other end of the line.
Aunt Hye mi; Hey wats up.
Kang Suzy; I desperately need your help", she whispered
Aunt Hye mi; what trouble did you make this time with the way you whispering, I know something is fishy.
Kang Suzy; I need you to act the role of parent for me, a kid's grandma wants to thank my parents for saving her son's life. I can't allow dad to find out the truth that I got hurt while saving a boy and I am in the hospital for that. I don't want him to be worried. So please I need your help on that.
Hye mi: Seriously?
Kang Suzy; I promise to keep your secret of you still dating that baker guy who Granpa detest so much, that if only you help me. It a deal.
Hye mi: Hey!
"Ma'am Kim, my mother is ready to talk to you", she handed over the phone to the grandma
" Good morning, Mrs. Kang ', the old woman greeted.
" Morning and how are you doing Ma'am ", the voice replied.
" Thank goodness, It worked", she sighed.
