Jas's POV:
When I reached home and went to my room. Clare was already there. She was busy on her phone, sitting on my bed cross - legged.
"Hey, how was your day?" she came and hugged me," did Sanhyul bothered you a lot today?".
"No, not at all, on the contrary I had a great time", I hugged her back. "Let me freshen up and then I will tell you everything", I replied to her and went for a shower.
When I came back, Clare was ogling at me, "What?"
"Tell me what happened?" I don't know why she is so excited about this. "I am dying here to know everything. You can't stop smiling since you came. It's like there is a damn hanger in your mouth. So spill", she ordered.
I sat beside her. She came behind me and started to dry my hair with a towel and then with a dryer.
"So, nothing happened. We went out, bought a lot of clothes for him, had ice cream, and had lunch. He was really nice. He didn't even bother me. He teased me a little but it was cute. It was nice and I really missed spending time with him. I had so much fun and something happened". I stopped. I was thinking if I should tell or not. I don't want to provide her with all the details. I don't know why I wanted some of those moments just between me and Sanhyul, like it was our moments, just for 'us' to know and remember.
I could feel my cheeks getting hot thinking about the kiss. It wasn't the first time I have kissed Sanhyul on his cheek. I have kissed him many times and he has kissed me too , once or twice when we were children. But this is different, we aren't kids now. I don't know what happened to me. He was behaving so cute and without even thinking I did that. It was different. I felt different.
"Hey, don't stop. Tell me what you have done. Did you punch him on his nose or what?", she stopped drying my hair and made me look at her. "Tell me you didn't. I know sometimes he deserves it but you didn't, right?"
"Seriously? Shut up Clare. Why would I do that? And if I had, it's Sanhyul we are talking about. I don't think he would have let that go so easily", we laughed together at my remark.
"Hey babe, seriously what have you done? Why are you being so shy?" she demanded.
"It's just that, I kissed him on his cheeks while I left his car and I did that subconsciously but it felt different", she was looking at me shocked. "It was in the flow of the moment and it's not a big deal if we think like that", I added.
"And why is that?" she asked.
"Because we are childhood friends and it's not the first time and I think I just missed those times we used to be together all the time. We had so much fun then." I replied. "The thing that is bothering me is like I felt a tingling sensation after he left", I told her while playing with fingers.
"Okay, just don't think about it that much and you will be okay. Tell me what happened on your coffee date with Han?" She just changed the subject to Han.
"Okay, it was beautiful. It was what I expected and more. We talked a lot and he looked so good. We got to know so much about each other and the important thing is that it didn't feel awkward, like he knew how to make a conversation so smoothly. And when we left, he told me not to consider this as a date because he wants to ask me properly. Such a gentleman." I said everything so excitedly in one go.
"Aaaaaaaa, that's so cute", we screamed together but not so loudly.
"And he dropped me at home and before I left, he kissed me on my hand" I added.
"Aaaaa", we screamed again while holding hands.
"It was so dreamy Clare. He's just so perfect" I sighed. "Okay, let's stop screaming or else Maa will scold us". So, now we talked in a very low voice like an ASMR video.
I could see how much she is excited for me. As if she is enjoying all this drama more than me.
"So, listen, don't think about the kiss with Sanhyul so much. I am happy with your friendship getting stronger. Just focus on Han and your next date with him. I could see how your eyes sparkled while you spoke about him." Clare said looking into my eyes while we were lying on the bed.
"Hmm, okay" is all I could respond to. Maybe she is right.
