Not A Kid

Nia was thinking about Kris and Marie. " They seem like really good friends. But who says we can't date friends. Marie is so pretty. They could be dating. "

Nia looked at the mirror " I have no curves. I look like a 12 year old. "

Nia tried to find some hourglass workouts to try. " I don’t think I can put on weight in my chest and hips. Let's just make my waist smaller. "

Nia did heavy exercises. Her body became sore " Ah, why did I torture myself ? "

It was time for her tutoring lesson with Kris. She saw Marie getting out from Kris's apartment.

" You... "

" Hi, dear Nia. I was spending time with Kris. But I had to leave since you were coming. "

Nia on her inner mind " Is she taunting me ? "

" Is it my fault ? "

" No, sweetie. I didn’t meant it. You kids take words so seriously. "

" I'm not a kid and my name isn’t sweetie. "

" You're a teenager. I'm an adult. You're a kid to me and Kris. " Her sweet voice turned serious

" I knew it she treated me like an competition and want to demean me. But I won’t lose. "

" I'm sorry, Auntie. Next time I'll behave. " sarcastically said Nia

" Auntie... " Marie got angry

Nia ignored her and entered into Kris's flat. He was cleaning the kitchen slab. Nia sat in front of the seat of the slab to be closer to him.

" You're so hardworking. "

" It's nothing. "

" I met Marie outside. "

" Yeah, she came over. "

" She's so pretty right. Many boys would drool over her. "

" Hmm. "

" Seriously. No reaction or he's jealous of the sight of Marie with other guys. "

" Kris, do you think Marie is pretty ? "

" I don’t judge people's appearances. Beauty is subjective. "

" Then do you like her ? "

" Of course, I do. She's my good friend. "

With every word Kris said about Marie. Nia's face got smaller. She took a deep breath and asked " Are you dating her ? "

" Where did that come from ? "

" I mean she's pretty you’re good looking. You're great friends. "

Kris smiled a bit and got closer to her face " Are you dating your guy friends ? "

Nia heart started beating fastly " I... am not. "

" Then why would I date Marie ? I never think about her like that. Now, let's focus on studies. "

Nia got really happy " Yes, Marie is in friendzone. "

Nia and Kris started their session. After 1:30 hours they finished.

" Hey, do you mind me calling you by your name ? "

" No, but you were adamant to call me oppa. What happened now ? "

" We're friends that's why. Also I'll look like a kid calling you oppa. "

Kris found it funny. He smiled and patted Nia's head " You're cute. "

Nia blushed so hard. She went to work in the restaurant. Her cheeks still looked red with the thought of her being with Kris.

Myungsoo got sad seeing that Nia's heart belonged to someone else.

" You're blushing ? "

She touched her cheeks " No... "

" Okay, take these plates and put it on the sink. "

" It's quite heavy. My hands are trembling from doing heavy workout. I'm afraid of they'll fall and break. "

" You don’t like exercises. Why did you do that ? "

" I look like a kid. No curves just like a stick. That's why I did it. "

Myungsoo hold her shoulder and got her close " Nia, you're gorgeous. The prettiest girl I ever seen. Don't be so hard on yourself. "

Nia got shocked hearing Myungsoo giving her compliment " I'm fine. What happened to you, Myungsoo ? "

" What's wrong with me ? "

" You're different nowadays. Much nicer, calmer. You got emotional last time when I called highschool boys pervert. Are you having a fever ? "

Nia put her hand on his forehead to check his temperature.

Myungsoo stopped her " I'm fine. You're too much. "

Nia smiled " Whatever Myungsoo. I'm grateful to be your friend. I won’t say it again. So remember it. "

After their shift finished. Myungsoo and Nia were going home together.

" Myungsoo... "

" What ? "

" If a boy and girl are friends. Can they date ? "

Myungsoo's heart skiped a beat. He thought Nia was talking about him and herself " Anyone can date if they like each other. It's better if friends date because they're so close and comfortable with each other. "

Nia got sad " I get it. We can't force feeling on anyone. I'm so stupid. "

" Nia, I know you like Kris. But he's not good for you. You can get a even better guy. Just look around. " Myungsoo on his inner mind " I'm right here, Nia. Try me... "
