The Games[4] : Kai

“Sehun,” I called him. “Thanks,” thanked him.
He smiled, “I’m not the one who you should thank to.”
“Huh?” I did not understand what he tried to say.
“Go answer your phone first,” he said as my phone was ringing.
I went to my bag and took out my iPhone. Kai’s name was on the screen. Kai? Why did he call me?
“Happy birthday,” he congratulated me before I could speak.
“Do you like the present?” he asked me.
This guy, he did not even give a chance for me to greet him. But present? Was it from him? Not Sehun?
I’m the one who you should thank to
I guess I’d understood what Sehun tried to say.
“Thanks for the wish and the present? Is it from you?”
“Yes.”
“Sorry. I thought it was from Sehun. By the way, what it is for?”
“I asked Sehun to give it. I’ve something to do so I skip class. Wait, did you ask me what the present is for?” Kai replied me a question.
“Jessica,” he called my name. Then, he started to sing ‘Happy Birthday.’ I was touched. One thing that I just knew about him was he was not only a great dancer but also a great singer.
KAI POV
“Thanks,” she thanked me for the happy birthday song and it almost made me like a crazy person
“I’ve something to ask you,” she said.
“Yes.”
“How did you know my birthday? I mean, it’s weird you know. None of them know my birthday, except Aera but you do.”
I knew she would ask this. For this I should thank to Aera for leaving her notebook in the practice room. I was the happiest person on the earth when I found out her birthday.
It was their first day, when she and Aera decided to join this class too. Everyone left the practice room and it was only us in the room. Sehun’s eyes noticed something and he picked it up. It was Aera’s notebook and Jessica’s birthday was marked in the notebook.
“It’s not only Aera. Sehun does.”
“It’s because you told him, right?” she guessed.
“You think so?”
“Yep. Kai answer me,” she sounded like begging.
“Jess, did you already see the present?” I did not want to answer her.
“Not yet.”
“Do it now,” I instructed her.
I could hear she laughed.
“A bracelet? It’s so pretty. Thanks Kai.”
Of course it was pretty. I was searching so hard for her present. I did not even know what things she liked, she hated. I never bought something for girls. I mean in a serious way like what I’ve done for her. I did buy things for girls but it was I was randomly picked something out without knowing their interest. I really put an effort on buying a present for her.
“Of course! It’s me who bought it.”
She burst into laughter again the moment she heard this.
“Oh God! Self-praise,” she chuckled.
“This is the fact, okay,” I told her.
The atmosphere went silent for a couple of minutes until she asked me something.
“Kai, are you for sure?”
“What?” I did not get what she tried to ask. For sure what?
“About dance things,” she answered me with a heavy sigh.
I knew she hated dance but who asked her to join this class. I would never let her enjoy this class that way. She needed to dance too and the other reasons, let it be my secret.
“Why?” instead of answering her, I questioned her.
“No. Just doesn’t be serious about that. Tell me you were joking when you told Sehun,” she drawled.
I could hear another person was laughing through the phone. It must be Sehun. I guess.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make you love dance.”
“Kai,” she gently called my name.
Oh God. I could not stand that voice. It felt like she was trying to seduce me. Jessica please don’t make that voice.
“No.” I decided.
“Kai, you jerk!” she grunted.
“Wear it now,” I tried to be out from the topic.
“What?”
“The bracelet.”
“Oh. Is that a request or an instruction?”
“It’s a request but if you don’t fulfill it, it will be an instruction.”
“Okay. Take it as request,” she said. “Done.”
“I don’t know you’re such a good girl. I thought you would take it as an instruction,” I thought she would refuse to wear it.
“Because it’s just the same either it’s a request or an instruction. At the end, I need to wear it anyway,” she complained.
Her complained somehow sounded really cute to me.
“Send a photo of it to me.”
“What? Kai, are you crazy?”
“Just a photo. Palli. I’ve something to do.”
“Childish. Okay. I’ll send it, kiddo. I’ll hang up first since you seem to be really busy,” she replied me sarcastically.
I laughed. A minute later, there was a MMS. It was a photo of bracelet on her hand. The bracelet looked even more beautiful at her wrist. I bought a perfect gift, perhaps.
