Heir |Kim Seungmin| ✔

Thirteen

"You kissed him?!" Seulgi yelped with her eyes wide open. She covers her mouth in shock, not believing what she just heard. Sarah panicked, "I didn't kiss him, he kissed me."

"He kissed you?!" Jinyoung exclaimed. He didn't even try to hide the excitement in his voice. "Did you feel anything?" He asks. The couple leans in towards Sarah like a bunch of gossiping high schoolers.

"Well no...I don't know...maybe?"

"Oh my god. What happened next?" Seulgi beamed. "Nothing. Last night I sort of freaked out and left his house." Sarah said.

"What do you mean you just left? You guys kissed and left it like that?" Seulgi asks. It was like she had a bucket of popcorn, watching a new kdrama, waiting to see if the main characters will end up together.

Sarah shrugs then lets out a gasp, holding her hand to her mouth. "I'm supposed to meet him at the boys house this afternoon."

"Oh my god guys. What am I going to do? I can't face him."

...

"I can't face her, not after what I just pulled." Seungmin paced back and forth the living room. "But isn't this a good thing? There was no argument but a kiss." Chan shrugs.

"Wait so that guy really wasn't her boyfriend?" Minho asks, obviously being clueless on purpose. Seungmin groans, "Yes and we are way past that."

The boy started to tap his foot nonstop, biting his lip. "She ran out right after. What do you think that means?"

...

"What do you think that means? A kiss isn't just a kiss right? I mean the guy hated me." Sarah was walking back and forth in her bedroom as Seulgi and Jinyoung sat on the edge of Sarah's bed.

"Assumingly hated on you." Seulgi corrected, cutting in Sarah's thoughts. "What's the difference?" Jinyoung whispers to his girlfriend. She just sighs.

"Why are you even going to the house anyways? Weren't you there yesterday...and the day before?" Jinyoung asks.

Sarah nodded, "Yeah but he's sort of going to teach me guitar."

...

"This is perfect." Jisung exclaimed. "How so?" Jeongin asks.

"Its gonna bring them two together and if you get that same feeling you had yesterday then you guys know." He looks at Seungmin as he explained.

"This is like your perfect love story Seungmin. I'm so jealous." Hyunjin pouted. "Talk about a hate relationship turned to a city's power couple." Jisung chuckled.

"Guys you are making me nervous." Seungmin said, suddenly sitting down at the couch. He gulps, "What if she doesn't feel the same? I mean after all that planning."

"What planning?"

"Uh the wedding- all the wedding planning." Seungmin panicked. He sighs in relief when the guys didn't catch on.

"She might feel the same. I mean look at this, she hasn't called to cancel so she's still willing to come over." Chan said.

Seungmin nodded, "You're right."

...

"Should I just call and cancel?" Sarah panicked, standing up from her bed to grab her phone from her desk. "I might be too nervous to even be in the same room with him."

Ssulgi hurried to Sarah's side and grabbed her phone from her. "Don't. Like I said, you guys are gonna be together. Use this to figure out your feelings."

Sarah sighed, "You're right."

3 hours later

"Hi."

"Hi."

Seungmin stood starstruck at the door being met with a casual dressed Sarah. "Come- come in." He shook out of his thoughts, moving on the side for the girl to enter the house.

"Thanks." She shyly said as she heads to the main room. To her surprise it was empty, no signs of Seungmin's friends being anywhere in the house.

Before she was able to ask about the whereabouts of his friends, the boy came in answering for her. "Oh by the way we have the whole house to ourselves. The guys went out to the store, getting stuff for the house." Which was true.

She nodded, "Ah I see."

"Listen Se-"
"You see Sa-"

They both lightly chuckle at the awkward tension that has grown deeply.

Seungmin thought what he should do next. If they are going to be married he didn't it want to be like this forever. So he remembered why they are here together right now.

"My room is upstairs, I figured we can start our lesson in there." He said, leading them both towards the staircase. She just smiles lightly, following the boy.

When they stepped into the room Sarah noticed two twin beds on opposite sides of the room indicating that two people sleep in here. "Oh I share a room with Jeongin if you were wondering." Seungmin said.

"Actually yeah may I ask, why do you share a room here and also have your own room at your father's place?" She asks.

He sat on his bed before starting to explain, "Well after I graduated high school the guys and I bought this house for all of us to live in and until last year my dad started talking to me about the business and stuff, so now I really just go back and forth. My suits at my dad's place and everything else here."

"Ah I see." Sarah mentally cursed herself for saying that for the second time. She didn't know how to respond, she just wanted to keep the conversation from reaching to whatever happened the night before.

"Um here take a seat." Seungmin patted the bed, signaling Sarah to sit right next to him as he reached over his nightstand for his guitar. He then set it into Sarah's hands, laying the body on her lap.

"So first just relax your shoulders, tension just goes away when your playing." He started. He then continues to instruct the girl, "Rest the neck on your palm." He hovers his arm around hers as he fixes her stance. Sarah didn't want to say anything but in the inside she felt the same beating feeling in her heart she did after the kiss.

"So if you place your fingers like this- yup like that, now strum the strings with this hand." Then a beautiful tune has left the instrument and into the space of the room. "And you just played a G major chord." He smiled.

Whatever awkwardness and tension that was filling the air has magically left like *snap* that. The racing heartbeats of both parties has steadied and turned any nerves into bliss and happiness.

"Oh my god I did, didn't I?" Sarah couldn't stop smiling. The first time she tried to play a guitar didn't go so well and only because she didn't know that the thing wasn't even tuned properly. So she didn't touch one ever again and just listened, leaving it to the professionals.

"Okay this one is a little tricky. You can play a D chord if you put your fingers like this." Again a beautiful tune was played. "You're a natural!" He exclaimed.

"Maybe just another lesson then I will be just as good as you, maybe better." She teased, playfully nudging the boy's shoulder. "Come on, I wouldn't say better." He chuckled.

"You're right maybe I should listen to you play and see if I'm just as good now." Sarah hands Seungmin the guitar with a teasing smile on her face.

Seungmin comes to stop and when he turned his head he lightly chuckled at Sarah who had her eyes widened. "Jeez I understand you play well but did you have to add the singing?" She playfully said.

"Okay your turn." He exclaimed, handing back the guitar to Sarah. "Um okay." She then strums the G major chord she learned earlier singing a "Laaaa~~" finishing with a smile. "How was that?" She asks the boy, knowing that she was just playing around.

"How about I go again?" He says. Sarah laughs, "Okay okay I'll be serious this time."

"Go ahead."
