We reached the amusement park in Sentosa island, and visited every place we could have. It was 9 pm by the time we left home. Jin-ae and Jinyoung exchanged numbers. Of course.
Sakura, Jinyoung and I were the only ones left.
"Guess we'll part here" Jinyoung said. "Bye"
"Bye" Sakura said. Sakura and I walked away from Jinyoung. My heart squeezed. No.
"Sakura- please go". It took her a while to understand. She smiled.
"Good luck" she hugged me. I ran towards Jinyoung as soon as she let me go.
"Jinyoung!" I called. He turned around. I ran towards him.
The night was cold. Goosebumps rose on my skin and my heart started to beat faster.
"Hm?" I calmed myself down and looked at the stony tile below me on the sidewalk. "What?" I was contemplating as to whether I should tell him or not. Had I taken a rash decision?
"Jinyoung I-". Ugh. Just say it. "Can I sleep at your house tonight?" I asked. You idiot. He loves you back anyway.
"Sure but- why?" he tilted his head.
"I- I don't want to sleep alone". Why is it this nerve-wracking?
"Come on then-". He turned around and walked away. I ran to catch up with him. I wanted to cry. I don't want to lose him to Jin-ae. I don't want to lose him to anyone. I want to cherish him. I want to spend all my time with him. I love him a lot. I hadn't realized it all this while. I couldn't bear to spend a day without seeing him. It was the real reason why I invited him today.
"How was today?" he asked me.
"Nice" I said with a lower tone than what I usually speak with. We didn't speak anything else. He closed the housedoor and walked up to his room, while I stood there. He stopped in his tracks, turned around and dragged me inside his room. I walked inside his room and sat on his bed. This is the first time I willingly came to his house. I felt sad, because I couldn't convey my feelings towards him.
"I'll shower and be back"
"Okay". Coming to think of it, I already missed him calling me my name. He stepped out of the bathroom after ten minutes wearing only a bathrobe. He went outside, changed into a dress and came back in, locking the room door. He switched off the lights and lied down beside me, after which I lied down too. What am I even doing?
"Are you asleep?-" I asked.
"No" I heard his deep voice from the other side. I sat up, and covered my face. It was now or never.
"I have something to tell you"
"Yeah- You said you'll tell me- What is it?"
"I'll be frank with you. You said you love me, and you didn't even care to ask me what the problem was, today. I felt weird around you all fucking day, today. And I'll fucking say it. I'm crazy in love with you. If you have lost your love for me so soon- just say it. I'm fine with it. I'll still love you even if you don't. If you hate me- then I still don't care, I'll continue to separate you from every other girl you become close to, even if you'll hate me more"
"Are you serious?"
"What are you even-". He hugged me, pushing me down to the bed.
"I love you too." His sweet scent, his strong, comforting arms around me, I want this to stay the same till I die. "Yuna- I really love you. I'll never let go of you ever."
I smiled silently, hugging him back.
"Shit- I still can't believe you. I really won't be able to sleep tonight" he laughed. "I'm so happy I could die of a heart attack because of you."
"Sakura and Kiu know about this already-"
"You told Kiu about this before me?"
"Obviously! You were talking to Jin-ae."
"Speaking about that. I'm sorry if I made you jealous. You made me jealous too though."
"What?-"
"You were talking to Kiu."
"Seeeeriously? He was telling me he'll help me to separate you and Jin-ae. Sakura said she'll help me too. But she ditched me with Daehyun. "
"Im sorryyyy. Say it's fine." I shook my head sideways.
"I'll make you say it" he gave a peck on my lips.
"No" I looked away from him
"Can I fuck you already?"
"No." I couldn't sleep at all since Jinyoung cuddled me all night. I woke up at 9 am, with him still hugging me. I smiled.
"Whatcha smiling about?"
"Eh? You're awake?" I looked at him.
"Mhm." He kissed my forehead. "I would kiss you all day if you let me."
"You know I won't". He turned my body around forcefully in such a way my back was facing him and towered over me. He placed kisses on my back, slowly unzipping my dress.
"I-Im no-t re-ready for thi-s". He didn't listen to my words. He completely unzipped my shirt and traced his fingers over my back. He unhooked the black bra which I was wearing. My body turned hot. Shivers ran up my spine. He turned me back around and kissed my lips deeply.
"Should be good for a start-" he said getting off the bed. Fucking hell. I stepped into the kitchen to see him making breakfast, still blushing from what had happened. I couldn't help but notice how cool he looked when he was making breakfast.
He found me standing there looking at him.
"Yuna- Why are you so scared of Jin-ae? Did something happen between you guys in the past?"
"It's- I loved a guy and-" I paused.
"She stole him away?"
"It was one-sided and she knew about it. She was my only best friend that time-"
"Darling, I love only you and that will stay the same forever" he leaned towards me and pet my head, looking deep into my eyes.
"I've been wanting to ask you." I said. "Why do you live alone?"
"My dad is the CEO of a company called Xinyi Entertainment in China. My mom died when I was born and so he married another woman, the same year. Then Kiu was born. He came here to Singapore for a while. But he lives in China with his mom and dad. " He continued. "The thing is, I am to take over the company soon. My dad wanted to give the company to Kiu, but he said he doesn't want it. I'm planning on doing both jobs at the same time. Doctor and CEO. It's gonna be hard but I must at least try it before giving up. "
"Is your stepmother a nice person?"
"Nah. My dad is basically with her, only for sex."
"Is this what you want?"
"I have no choice but I'm fine with it."
"But Xinyi Entertainment is huge, isn't it?"
"Yep. One of the top three in China."
"Woah-"
"I hope you won't love me for that" he winked.
"Jinyoung?"
"Mm?" He turned and looked at me.
"What will your dad- think of me?" He stood in front of me and pulled up my chin, looking into my eyes.
"Smart, beautiful, cute, kind-hearted, lovable, hot, caring- you have all the qualities to make a person like you- What do you have to worry about?" He kissed my chin. "I'm the one who should be worrying about your parents. I'm not good enough for you."
"You are." I flicked his forehead, turning around to leave. He let out a chuckle.
"Do you want to eat with me?-"
"I have a class in almost-" I looked at the time on my phone. "fifteen minutes. So I gotta run."
"Should I pick you up after class? When are you gonna eat?"
"Nah. I'll eat after class is over" I picked up my bag and walked towards the house door. "Bye".
"No-" he pulled the long strap of my purse from behind me. "Eat and go."
"Let go- I'm late!"
"No."
"I'll eat something in my room!"
"No."
"I'll send a picture of it!"
"No."
"I promise! I'll do 20 push-ups if I don't!"
"Okay." He let me go and turned around, returning to make his breakfast. I almost ran to my room and sent a picture as I had promised. I took a quick cold bath and left the room. I met up with Sakura and I remembered I still hadn't asked Jinyoung about making it official. I decided on telling only Sakura since she was my best friend.
"HOW DID IT GO?!" was the first question she asked me when she saw me.
I smiled shyly.
"OHMY GOD TELL ME YOU AREN'T KIDDING ME"
"Why would I even-"
"OH JESUS SHINHYE!" she called out, who was walking towards us.
"Um- Sakura I-"
"OUR SHIP IS REAL!". And that's how it spread throughout our university. I saw Jinyoung in the second class. He pulled me towards him with my arm.
"You told everyone about us?" he asked me.
"I- I didn't- It was Sakura. I'm sorry. I knew I shouldn't tell anyone without asking you-"
"It's okay- I'm happy. Don't worry about it-" he smiled, ruffling my hair, making my heart skip a beat. "No one will come near you that way. Sit beside me today?" I nodded with a silent 'okay'. Literally half of the girls gave me death glares when I sat beside the guy I'm crazy in love with. I overheard someone speaking after class, talking about how I'll get the same ending as Shinhye. The gossip honestly made me uncomfortable.
"Yuna-chaaan." Sakura called me. "CAN I BORROW HER FOR JUST ONLY FOR ONE SECOND? YOU CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT HER."
He rolled his eyes, with a grin. "You're a pain in the ass, Sakura. "
"WHA- YOU ARE. I FOUND HER FIRST."
"Dumb. I found her first."
"WHO SAID SO?!"
"Ask Yuna herself" he looked at me, while I was trying to keep my temper low.
"You ARE THE DUMBEST HERE. Ill kick your ass if you don't protect her. " she gave him a glare.
"I'll kick your ass if you kiss Daehyun again." He said with a satisfied expression.
"WHY YOU-"
"YOU IDIOTS- SHUT THE FUCK UP OR ILL BE THE ONE TO KICK YOUR ASSES" I burst out fcaepalming too hard. "Fuck. That hurt" I muttered, placing a palm on my forehead. "oh and WHAT THE FUCK SAKURA, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU KISSED DAEHYUN?!"
She grinned, blushing hard. "I couldn't come up with a right timing to tell you."
"WHY THE FUCK NOT?"
"I WAS ABOUT TO TELL YOU JUST NOW UNTIL THIS ASS CAME IN-"
"I didn't come in. I was here all along. " he said with no expression on his face.
"So how was it?" I smiled cheesily.
"It was slo-"
"OH JESUS ChriST! Im GOING! I hate girl-talks" He walked away.
"He better"
"Tell me tell me tell me-" I pleaded, ignoring Jinyoung.
"So after you left yesterday night, Daehyun came back to me and said he forgot to give me something. I asked what it was, and he kissed me after he said he forgot to kiss me. I kissed back and UGhhh sparks flew." She said dreamily.
"Sakura. Are you sure he's a good guy?"
"Yeah." She grinned like a love-sick puppy. "He's so dreamy."
"Which means- you both are in love with each other?!"
"I don't knowwww about thaaat-" she said with a small laugh. "But look at you! My Yuna-chan all grown up-" she sniffed, giving me a huge hug.
"No- You grew up more quickly"
"No you"
"How about we ditch those boys and we hang out alone tonight at the club?"
