After debating whether he should follow Ji Ah or no... In Joon had finally decided to follow her. When he followed her and saw her entering her room, In Joon again debated whether he should ring her doorbell or not.
He stood there in front of her room thinking of what should he do. And when he finally had made up his mind to meet her the next day, his hand unknowingly went towards the doorbell and rang it.
In Joon's mind started to run in a chaos when he realized that he had rang the doorbell. He cussed himself for a few good times and even hit his hand but it was all of no use. His heart started beating frantically when he didn't hear any response from the inside. The silence started to kill him and so, he rang the bell again.
But he didn't know that his second bell would be the cause of his heart throbbing up till his throat because the moment he rang the bell, he saw the door open and a cute Ji Ah stood in front of him.
She had a huge smile on her face, the smile which he had seen when they were small. It made his heart flutter and he instantly turned red. His face turned hot and he felt the heat rising within his body.
However, her one single question ruined all his excitement and his expression turned sour.
"Why are you here?"
When Ji Ah saw In Joon standing in front of her, her heart sank. Her hope also sank and she stared at the person with utter bafflement.
She wasn't expecting him here... So, she voluntarily asked him.
"Were you expecting for someone else?" In Joon brazenly asked her and he felt his world being crushed by her single nod. He couldn't muster up the courage to ask who because he knew that it was Min Hyuk for whom she was waiting for.
He answered her question with a stutter "I... Well... I was just..." He started to search his pockets "Ahh! Yeah! You forgot this!" He took out a pen from inside his pocket and gave it to her.
Ji Ah took the pen with a dumb yet surprised look on her face. She hadn't seen that pen with her before. She stared at the pen trying to recall where she had seen this before. "This...umm..." Before she could say more, she saw In Joon entering inside. "Heyy!! Why are you enteri..."
"Are you okay with staying in such a confined space?" In Joon took the chance to enter inside her room when she was looking at the pen. That pen was just one of his tricks to distract her and himself, too. He interrupted her words and asked her. He felt uncomfortable as soon as he stepped foot inside this small room. This was his first time stepping inside a room so small as his bathroom.
Ji Ah rolled her eyes and stomped towards him. She threw the pen to him and said "Keep your pen to yourself and leave."
"Leave? Why?" In Joon grabbed the pen with a smug grin on his face and kept it inside his pocket. He sat on the bed and said "Now that I'm here, won't you even ask me for something to drink?"
"Can't you see that I haven't even unpacked my stuff?" Ji Ah puffed her face in annoyance and walked towards him. "That's it! Now, Go!" She walked forward and pulled him by his hand. However, In Joon being a guy of a strong masculine build was very strong compared to a thin Ji Ah.
In Joon stood rooted in his place while Ji Ah tried all her best to pull him. When she got tired she took deep breaths and glared at In Joon. Her hands were still holding In Joon's hands.
In Joon smirked and pulled her by her hand. With just one pull, Ji Ah came came and fell on his lap. When she got up, In Joon held her by waist and forced her to sit again. Ji Ah became furious and turned her head to face him.
She widened her eyes in disbelief when she realized how close she was to this guy. Their eyes were already interlocked, nose were colliding and their lips were just inches apart. She could feel his breath and so could he.
Her fruity fragrance made him feel refreshing and her soft plump lips were making his lips dry. In Joon wanted to know how they would feel. He had been eyeing them for quite a long time. He wanted to know how it would be to kiss those soft pinkish lips of Ji Ah, those pink lips of his Ji Ji's.
Already her weight on his lower body was making him unable to control himself and now, her lips were doing the same.
'No... what am I thinking?' In Joon shook his head and cleared his dirty thoughts. There was no way he was gonna kiss her.... All his fruits of hard work would go in vain if he was to take the wrong step. But his body never stopped.
Ji Ah struggled to let go from his embrace. She rested her hand on his broad chest to get away from him.
"Do you remember the promise we made back then, Ji Ji?" In Joon asked with a voice filled with hurt. He loosened her hold and stared at her with eyes full of sadness.
Ji Ah was taken aback by his sudden question. Yet she was still fixed on her decision that she was not gonna fall in love with another guy when she is married but.... she wasn't married now, was she? She quickly got up and stood far away from him.
"Are you still stuck up on those words which we both said?" Ji Ah asked with surprise in her voice. Although, she wasn't surprised, she pretended that she was. She rolled her eyes and waved her hands... "Aigoo!! That was just something which we said and agreed to nonchalantly. We, basically didn't even know what they meant.... And... You are still caught up on those words? Pfft!! That is really childish of you, In Joon!"
The moment Ji Ah's words reached In Joon's ears, he became dumbstruck. He stared at her in surprise as he saw no feeling of sadness or guilt on Ji Ah's face. He felt stupid...
He felt like an idiot to have waited for her...
He gave his everything to get rid of the man whom she loved but... what was this? She was thinking it as something casual and something which had no meaning at all?
Rage filled within his body and within a few steps, he stood in front of her looking at her with extreme anger. But the moment he saw her from up close all his anger subsided. That was the value which In Joon had held in his heart. He would melt the moment he would see her from up close.
"Alright! You are saying that we both agreed to the promise nonchalantly, right? Then... Let's fulfill the promise nonchalantly." In Joon gave a sly smile and inched closer to her. The more he stepped forward, the more she stepped backward.
"Let's start fulfilling our promise by a kiss..." In Joon grinned evilly.
"Kiss?" Ji Ah stopped right in her tracks and looked at him by complete surprise and In Joon took this as a chance to kiss on her soft pink lips.
