Chapter 25

                                    

                                          
3 days later
                          
*Ringtone off alarm clock goes off*
                          
  I woke up after a dozen times and snoozed the alarm. Another tiring day of school is about to begin. Ugh,why does school have to start that early?
I did some stretches before getting out of bed to take a shower. 
                          
"Good morning Amber"
                          
"Good Morning Leo" He flashes me his smile as he walked out of the bathroom. My face turned pink to the reaction of his smile.
  
  Leo has been staying with us for 3 days since he ran away from home. I wonder why he has to leave home over me. 
                          
  I still couldn't forget what happened last Saturday when I had dinner with his family and he held my hand out of the restaurant. Ugh, all this drama going on these days, can life can like normal?
                          
  I changed and went down to the dining room to have my breakfast.
                          
  When I was going down the staircase, I heard Leo talking on the phone with someone but he was not speaking English. Maybe he is talking with his family. Did his family told him to go back home?
                          
  "Oppa, it's been three days. When are you going to come back home?"
                          
"Not now, Linda. I will go back when it is the right time."
                          
  He looked up towards my direction. "Talk to you later"
                          
"I'm not done with you yet, Jung taekwoon!!!!"
                          
  Leo saw me and swiftly ended his call and gave me a smile. 
                          
  "Hurry and eat your breakfast,we have to leave in 25 minutes!"
                          
  "Okay, can't you see that I am making my way down?"
                          
"Nope, I can't.."
                          
  "Geez, you need to give your eyes check,Grandpa Leo"
                          
  He looked at me with those eyes that he wanted me dead and continued to eat his breakfast and I went to pour milk for the whole family.
                          
"So what's the call about just now?"
                          
"Just Linda telling me to go back home, I told her that I didn't want to go back to a home that doesn't respect my opinions of dating you. I mean is that anything wrong with that?"
                          
"Emm, your mum just wants you to just listen to her." I carefully speak as I was afraid that I would hurt his feelings. 
                          
"I don't need that, quickly eat your breakfast"
                          
"Yes" It got awkward all of a sudden. I didn't know where to look, I ended up only looking at the food. 
                          
"Emm, Leo? Have you thought of where are you going to work at? I suppose that you didn't bring out that much money." That broke the silence between us. 
                          
"Yea, I been thinking about that during these 3 days, I still don't know what can I work as? Any advice?"
                          
"Well, you can work as a Barista at the cafe that you patronise or you can work with Amber at the bakery."
                          
"I bet Leo wants to work at the cafe as he likes coffee so much, especially latte"
                          
"How do you even know?"
                          
"Duhh, you drink that all the time" 
                          
"Can't I even like coffee?"
                          
  "No" I mumbled under my breath so softly that he didn't even hear it and I swiftly finished my breakfast and put the plate in the sink. 
                          
  All of us left the house. As usual, I sat in the car with my earpieces listening to all the K-pop songs that I have downloaded. Mandy influenced me into this.
