Holding Me Back

Chapter 35

Somin's POV

All of a sudden, Sechan's lips were on mine. My eyes widened and my mind went blank. I went stiff, not believing the situation. My actual best friend, Sechan, was kissing me?

As soon as realisation came in, I wanted to push him off. Instead, another pair of hands came before me and pushed Sechan away from me. "Oppa..." I called out to Jongkook oppa.

His eyes were on fire. His jaw clenched. His fists were tightening. His chest heaving up and down. He was mad. Crazy mad. His eyes went on mine and I felt like bowing under his stern gaze.

"I...I...shit. I can't even talk," Jongkook oppa's voice shook. It happens to some people when they are angry. I understood. "It is not what it looks like," I stated and reached out to hold his arm.

My hands went on his arm but what he did next shattered me. He pushed my hand off with his arm pulling away hardly. He stared at me with a cold gaze. I almost winced.

Sechan who was infront of me, cursed under his breath. "You got time to curse?" Jongkook oppa asked him. Sechan shut his eyes and took a deep breath. "This is unfair," Sechan said.

"It's unfair how you're suddenly with Jongkook hyung. It's unfair how you're with him when you...you make me feel like I'm meant to be with you," Sechan ranted out his feelings like he had held it in for the longest time.

I was speechless. "I can't...stay the same with you anymore. Not like this. I can't bear it. And gosh...I'm sorry for kissing you. It was an instinct," Sechan rubbed his temples as he sighed.

He looked at Jongkook oppa with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, hyung. This is not her fault, alright? I understand if you are mad. I'm sorry," Those were his words before he left in a hurry. I tried to call out to him but no sound came out of my mouth.

It left me and Jongkook oppa alone in the room. I hung my head low and shut my eyes with my fists clenching. Had I lost one of my best friends? Had I acted way too clingy and made him catch feelings?

I looked up, to see Jongkook oppa's eyes on me. The coldness in his eyes were gone but that was it. His eyes were blank. I took a step forward. I was relieved he hadn't flinched.

As my mouth started to move, my manager came into the scene. "Somin!" Mr Kim called out to me. Jongkook oppa's head turned to him. I sighed profusely and retracted my hand from reaching him. Jongkook oppa gave me one last look and a bitter smile before walking away.

"Oppa..." I mumbled under my breath as his back turned on me. I glanced at my manager, only to see a confused look on him.

Narrator's POV

Somin's photoshoot went on for 2 hours. Her mind was only about the incident earlier. She couldn't concentrate on the photoshoot. She couldn't even touch her phone to call Jongkook or Sechan or even anyone, with her changing clothes every 20 minutes and posing.

It was currently 8pm. She had asked her manager, Mr Kim, to send her to Jongkook's house. Somin inhaled and exhaled one last time before knocking on his door. The door opened, revealing Jongkook who was topless.

Her cheeks flushed before she even reacted. She was about to tease him until she heard another voice. A female voice. "Oppa~" Jinyoung's voice echoed through the house.

Her eyebrows furrowed and she took a step backwards. Jongkook's eyes widened as he realised what Somin might be thinking about. "No, it's not what you-" His words got cut off with a slap on his face.

"What the hell?" Somin asked with a shaky voice. "I come back to you, worried that you might be mad. Worried that you will get hung up on what happened. But I see this? Shirtless with another woman?" A tear rolled down from her eyes. She felt tears on her cheeks before she wiped it off angrily.
