THE ADORABLE BOYFRIEND
You stared at the young man in front of you and you squeezed your eyes with your hand. His prank was beginning to tick you of.
"mister... Can you move out already?, you're holding up the line"
"I can't move when my eyes are glued to you", he said.
"er..... What did you say your name was again? "
"J-hope, but you can call me your hope"
"ah... Right", you sent a false smile his way "so J-hope can you please step towards the truck? "
"sure... Anything for you princess "
You rolled your eyes and then shook your head as he stepped to the side.
"what can I get you"
"one scoop of chocolate flavor, 2 strawberry scoops and 3 vanilla scoops "
"here you go", you said as you handed the serving of ice-cream.
"you know, I haven't seen you around this park AND I'm telling you... This is like my favourite park"
"Yay good to know ", you whispered back.
This person was seriously getting on your nerves now.
"OK listen, J-hope, I'm trynna work here so if you wouldn't mind... ", you trailed off.
"I can wait all day Princess..... "
"why don't you take a stroll or something? ", you quickly suggested.
"only of you come with me princess "
"first of all, stop calling me princess"
"who wouldn't bow to royalty, you're my princess"
Huffing a breath, you got back to serving ice-cream. The guy had an answer for everything, maybe you were better off ignoring him.
After a while, you completely forgot about him and finally took a cup of banana ice-cream as the queue cleared out. Turning back to the left, you found him gone.
Good riddance!!
Daesang park is well known for its famous Ferris wheels. A lot of people come everyday just to have a feel of the rides but for some like you, you certainly to make a little cash.
You were privileged to have a short education so every little penny counted for you.
"miss, one scoob of minst and tsree scoob of banilla".
"right up ", you said with a smile as you stared at the adorable little boy in front of you.
Few minutes later, he came back with tears in his eyes. You rushed out immediately as you engulfed him in a hug.
"Ow, what's wrong? "
"mean man threw my ice-cream on the floor "
"Ow,,, sorry, wait here I'll get you another one, don't cry", as you wiped his soft cheeks.
He nodded gleefully and smiled when you handed him the free ice-cream.
" Tae Min"
You turned around to see a woman in a beige dress, hair down and long pick nails. She looked angry .
"I've been looking for you for the past 30minutes ", she said as she approached the boy.
The little boy turned a fraction to look at you and you smiled as your hand left his shoulder where you had held him a few minutes ago.
Tears brimmed in his eyes and his hands found your legs hugging them tightly. The woman who was now mere inches from you yanked his arm form around you and you stared at her.
The boy refused to go and you smiled at the woman
"I'll bring him along ma'am "
"fine", she said harshly.
Crouching down, you gathered the little boy in your arms and then against your chest as his head found the crook of your neck.
You walked with him on your chest all the way out of the park. He was already asleep when you handed him over to his mom.
"excuse me ma'am, I know it's not my place to say this but I think you should be a little bit considerate of the fact that your son is barely four, shouting at him all the time will dampen his self confidence "
"you're... Right.... It's not your place"
You smiled again and left.
Then, it hit you, you hadn't locked up when you'd accompanied the woman.
What if.....
You rushed back to the ice-cream truck and pulled the drawer that contained of the cash.
You stopped breathing as you saw it.
It was..... Empty.
You slammed down on the nearest chair and began to cry.
There was a sudden ruckus and you looked up with tear-stained eyes. There was a small crowd gathered a few feet away from your truck.
Making your way slowly toward the crowd, you pushed your way to the front.
For the second time today, your eyes widened in shock.
Two men, one in red and one in black fighting, probably because of some girl.
You rolled your eyes and was already making your way out when the one in black turned.
Wasn't that J-hope?
"J-hope? "
"yes... ", they both said simultaneously.
"you're not the real J-hope ", the one in red said
"I am ", the one in black countered.
You rolled your eyes again and just then someone called out your name.
You turned to both men.
The red J-hope handed something to you, it was in an envelope.
"what... "
"just open it... ", red J-hope said as he cut off your words.
"you opened it cautiously only to find a stack of notes.
Your money
"Where did you find this??? ", you asked suddenly happy
"in the pockets of this imposter, he used my name to steal from you "
"oh thank you"
"already called park security, they should be here any minute "
The park security arrived with a couple of minutes to meet a black J-hope with a black eye.
"what's your real name? "
He snickered at the crowd "Jung il "
They handcuffed his hand and took a protesting Jung il with them.
You smiled at the man in red.
"thank you so much, you saved me from a potential apocalypse ", he laughed shortly as you continued "I'm so grateful I don't know what to do.... "
"you can go on a date me if you're that grateful", he said.
Your eyes met his and he sent a charming smile your way. He looked so cute.
"actually, I've been to the ice-cream truck about six times today and you obviously didn't notice. When I first saw you, I wanted to ask you out but I.... I... I lost courage every time so... "
"I'd go in a date with you "
"yes!!! ", he blurted out...
You smiled " are you that happy? "
He nodded looking over at you.
He slipped a card into your hand and pecked your cheeks
"see you tomorrow, I'm your hooooope", he whispered as he adorably danced his way out of the crowd.
You walked into your truck and smiled at the card. J-hope.... You really wanted to give this date a short afterall you liked his sweet, caring and adorable nature.
You weren't kidding.... J-hope was the closest anyone has come to your ideal type, you weren't gonna let him go, even If it was just one date.....
