Let me clarify for those who are probably confused. I'm a good person, I swear. I just...Yong-sun just...we just felt something in that moment. Here's how it went. In the changing room, we became exactly one inch apart. Our noses touched.
"Yong-sun", I say his name to stop him from pulling me in.
"I already know what you're gonna say, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you", Yong-sun removes his hand from my waist, and the other from my face.
"What? You didn't do anything wrong", I reassure him but he stands up; almost exiting the room.
"MaeMae. It's okay, I understand. I shouldn't have pressured you under the circumstances", Yong-sun faces the door, shaking his head in shame.
"Actually...I was gonna tell you that...I wanna kiss you but it feels wrong to do that to Hyun-ki, and I still love him", I rise from my seat and walk to the middle of the room, expecting a response from Yong-sun.
"MaeMae...I feel bad about it too, but wouldn't he want us to be happy if he never regains his memory?" Yong-sun asks still facing the door.
"Well what if he doesn't regain his memory, and he still falls in love with me? I spent so much time waiting for him to wake up. Just waiting...and now that he is...I'm waiting even longer because he doesn't even remember me", I stare at the ground with helplessness.
Yong-sun rotates in my direction, which compels me to pick my head up. He starts walking towards me with a certain fire in his eyes. I didn't know how to react, but everytime he got closer I moved backwards, picking up the bottom of the dress as to prevent it from dragging on the ground. What a cliché! I hit a wall, and there's nowhere to go. Yong-sun wounds up getting really close, and placing his hands on either side of me on the wall so that I couldn't escape. He tilts his head down to whisper in my ear.
"Since the last time I saw you, everytime I think about you...I wish you were mine", Yong-sun reveals and my heart starts beating unnecessarily fast.
"Oh", I begin to start feeling hot.
"Why are you so quiet now?" Yong-sun allows a grin to overtake his face.
"Are you alright? You're looking kind of hot", Yong-sun presses his palm to my forehead to take my temperature.
"Yong-sun", I calmly move his hand away
"MaeMae...I know you love Hyun-ki. Hyun-ki is practically my brother, and you're one of my best friends. So, if you wanna stop this now just say the word", Yong-sun stares through my eyes into my soul.
*Yong-sun's Point Of View
I think I'm in love with MaeMae. There's no denying it. Hyun-ki would be so disappointed in me. It's just when she's around...I feel something.
*MaeMae/My Point Of View
"Yong-sun, you're also my best friend, and I know that this...thing that's going on right now...will come back to bite us in the butt if we continue", I hold back the tears with as much strength as I could.
Unexpectedly, Yong-sun recedes. His eyes trail down my figure.
"Yong-sun whatever you're thinking, it's probably perverted. What's wrong with you? You're so dirty", I try to conceal his eyes.
"Relax, I just like seeing you in this dress. I'm gonna buy it for you", Yong-sun forces my hands away from his face, and exits the room without allowing an objection from me.
"How was that not perverted? 'I like seeing you in this dress'", I imitate Yoongi's voice as I change back into my casual clothes.
2 minutes later, I leave the room with the dress in my hand. Kallie and Celeste are already done buying their dresses.
"Are you ready to leave the store?" Kallie questions as she approaches me.
"Yeah, I just need to pay for the dress and then-"
"Don't worry about it. Yong-sun is paying for it. Here's the money he told me to give to you", Kallie hands me the money, and I take it willingly. If I reject the money, then Yong-sun will not take no for an answer. I simply smile at her, and walk to the counter to purchase the dress. The guys are still here. I can't imagine how confused Hyun-ki must be. I decide to apologize to him.
"Hyun-ki can I talk to you for a minute?" I approach him.
"Sure", Hyun-ki follows behind me to a secluded area of the store.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I should've kept my composure better", I apologize not being able to look him in the eye.
"It's fine. If I knew someone who was close to me, and they forgot about me...I'd be the same way", Hyun-ki grins which makes me feel sudden guilt.
"What's wrong?" He detects the guilt of my facial expression.
"Nothing, just if you ever need someone to talk to...I'm here", I force a smile.
"Thank you, and don't feel bad. Sometimes our emotions can be too strong to control", Hyun-ki squeezes my shoulder in reassurance.
"Mhmmm. Can I make it up to you?" I punch his arm softly.
"You can pay for my food, because we're all going out to eat together", Hyun-ki winks.
"We are?" I glimpse at all of my friends.
"Yes, so come on!" Joo-won commands as everyone nods their heads.
"Okay...well I'm ready", I inform them and we all leave the mall.
