◼ Di-Hee's POV
I woke up late and what never shocked me is it was afternoon already. I know that to complete my sleep sometimes I sleep till late morning and my eomma hates it. But I can't help.
I am stubborn, you know. I was sitting on the bed not budgeting to move even an inch even though I have to do the chores. And I started to recall my day yesterday. I drank a little, just a can. I remember getting off work and coming home early. Then due to tiredness, I slept. After that, I woke up from a nightmare. And feeling uneasy I got to buy some milk for my headache. And at the shop only I drank a can of beer to relieve my uneasiness.
As I was way back home, I was deep in my thoughts after hearing the talk between Guk-Du and Hee-Ji, and on the way suddenly a car came in front of me and the further part hit me hard and it's embarrassing.
*Flashback*
I was deep in my thoughts and suddenly a car came in front of me flashing its headlight. I stopped with a jolt almost falling to the ground. But I was lucky enough to balance myself and not get hit by the car. But the car was standing there only. Without thinking about that I again tried to open my eyes when suddenly the darkness came in front and then only I was able to open my eyes just to find Guk-Du standing there.
His eye showed concern, fear and emotion which I can't read. He came and stood in front of me and mumbled something but I was all taken aback by his sudden appearance.
"Hey! What are you doing here? I mean, how come you are here this late?" I asked nervously. I felt butterflies in my tummy.
He... He was lowering himself. I moved a few steps back. And he looked a little confused but that expression got replaced by shock and then nervousness. I think he was not in the right state of his mind then. Maybe because of that talk with Hee-Ji.
He straightened himself and tried to look calm and composed.
"Sorry. I didn-" He tried to apologize but I cut him off.
"You shouldn't be apologizing. Sorry, but I heard you and Hee-Ji talking. Sorry, I eavesdropped on your talk but it wasn't intentional." I was sorry and I meant it.
"That's not your fault. Maybe I was not capable enough." He sounded so sad and heartbroken. He took a step ahead but his legs were wiggling. And he got to his side.
I saw that the car was not there. Maybe it belonged to someone else. Then a thought hit me hard. Is he drunk?
He stood there leaning on the pole weakly.
"Am I that bad?" He sounded almost crying.
"Nope. She is the one who doesn't deserve you. You shouldn't be sorry or something. You deserve someone better and the one who really cares about you." I said in a low voice. I wanted him to realize that, that Hee-Ji is no one in front of the one who actually loves and cares for him.
He looked at me and I felt bad looking at his vulnerable state.
"Should I drop you home?" I asked as I neared him.
"No, no, no. I will go be my-" and he was about to collapse but I caught him.
"Just look at yourself. See how much wasted you are. And talking about going all by yourself. Just keep your ego aside and let me help you." I said as I helped him stand on his legs which were wobbling. Drastically.
He just looked at me with a face that was shouting innocence. He was throwing puppy eyes like a 6-years old, telling momma to buy ice cream.
He looked cute. Yes, looked. Because just now he is looking again all sad and depressed.
I walked him home and on the way did some illogical and childish talks to keep him distracted.
After reaching his home I laid him on the couch and he caught my wrist and pulled me back. There was so much silence that I could hear our breathing and my heart pounding inside my chest.
He again mumbled something but this time I listened to it clearly. He was repeating it again and again.
"Don't leave me Di-Hee. You are the only one I got."
I felt bad and when I was about to leave he sat up. And looked into my eyes suddenly jolting me towards him and he made me sit on his lap. I struggled but he was way strong than me. I could hear my accelerating heartbeats with each passing second.
I again tried but this time he only hugged me more tightly, by waist. And kept his chin on my bare shoulder. Damn! Why did I even choose to wear this off-shoulder top today? My right shoulder started to hurt as he laid the whole weight of his face on it only.
His hot breath was fanning my skin and it felt like it was on fire. I tried to convince him to let me go but he was all ready to keep it going.
And what shocked me was when he said, "I don't think that I ever loved Hee-Ji."
I was taken aback by the sudden change in his thoughts. I slowly spoke not to hurt him, "Why do you think so?"
"Just like that." And I felt him hugging me more tightly.
I can bet that I was all red. I turned to look at him only to find him staring at something or someone on his lap.
I followed his gaze to only embarrass myself more than ever. Shit! I was wearing shorts that only lasted up a bit higher than the middle of my thighs. Shit, Shit, Shit! I looked at him again and he was already looking at me. I immediately looked away not to embarrass myself more.
"You shouldn't wear this many short clothes when outside your house. You know how dangerous it is to roam around like this. Especially when you are this beautiful." He said caressing my thigh and I again started throwing in his arm only to be held by him more firmly and securely.
He suddenly moved so fast that even before I realised I was under him, caged with both of his arms on either side. Not letting any chance for me to escape and I looked him in eyes just to find sadness in those beautiful black orbs.
We looked at each other for a few moments and without me realising he successfully slipped his hand to my nape. And when this hit me I was already having the taste of beer directly from HIS MOUTH. He was kissing me.
What the -! I was going to push him away when he slid his hand to my waist under my oversized long top. And his touch sent a chill down my spine. His cold hands came in contact with my warm body and I didn't realise that I was kissing him back. He sat up and I was in his lap again but this was different.
