Chapter 17 - Eye Bags

After that (kiss) he told me to think about it and Keven just dropped me off to my house. The whole drive he didn't say anything, neither do I.

I wasn't expecting him to kiss me. I don't like that he kissed me all of a sudden. However, he just looked really happy to the point that I couldn't bring myself to get mad at him.

I don't know if I feel the same way as him. He has been my best friend and I rely on him so much.

It's already 12:51am and I still couldn't sleep. I don't want to end my friendship with him. Should I just say yes?

And then Ryo suddenly popped out my mind. His smile, things he has done for me....

But then again even though Ryo helped me so much, Keven helped me way more than Ryo did. And I've known Keven way longer than Ryo. Arrrrghh! I don't know what to do!!!

The Next Day

I didn't get to sleep at all! I got off my bed and looked at myself through the mirror. I look horrible! my eye bags are really standing out! It's too dark😭

*din dong*

I walked down the stair and started walking to the main door. I looked at the camera who it is and, it's KEVEN!

I panicked and started running to the sink, brushed my teeth, wash my face, fixed my hair. I did it all hurriedly.

I opened the door, nervously. I don't know how to react to him.

Me : what's wrong? *not looking at his eyes*

Keven : *laughs slightly and kind of covers his mouth *

Me : Why are you laughing?😒

Keven : you have toothpaste on your cheeks😂

I quickly wiped it off. I don't know how he does he have the guts to tease me😭😖.

Keven : Rea, my little princess, do you know why I'm happy? *he asked gently*

Me : why😒? because I have toothpaste on my cheeks?

Keven : yea...

Me : it's not even that funny.🙄

Keven : It's cute☺️! To be honest, I didn't know how I would face you at all. I was really nervous until now to be honest. I thought you were really mad at me, because you didn't open the door right away. I was happy you opened the door, although you didn't look at me. And then I saw toothpaste on your cheeks. It made me really happy.

Me : what do you mean?

Keven : What I mean is, before I did that. You never really took effort to look nice for me. When I used to hang out or study and come over here before, you didn't really look like you wanted to look at nice because I'm around.

Me : ?

Keven : What I mean is, now you took effort even though it may not be much. You brushed your teeth before answering the door unlike before. You washed your face and comb your hair, your hair looks nice. Before you don't even brush your hair even after taking a shower.

Me : It's not because of you! I - I just feel like it.

Keven : ☺️ yes yes, even though your eye bags are dark. Isn't that means it bothered you too.
