"What are you thinking?"

His thumb caressed my cheek as we laid there, in my room, away from the crowd and noise. I smiled at him and his eyes twinkled and my amazement followed. How could someone look so handsome with the zero effort?

"Hmm.." I moved closer. "That you're an angel." My words made him raise his eyebrows, and I tried to hold in my chuckle, but couldn't, and we both burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, it's just... you really are one of the kind, so that random thought entered."

Kyungsoo hummed. "Well, thank you. I really thought for a brief moment that you are going to freak out on me after our kiss-"

"Jokes on you, I also thought about you the same," I told him, "You know there's something I'm curious about though."

"What is it?" He blinked his big baby eyes.

"How can a man kiss so great when he doesn't even know what's a French kiss?" I leaned on the elbow and placed my head in my hand. "I've watched this behind the scenes of your drama, and you clearly said you don't know -"

He leaned up, and pecked my lips. "I know how to kiss great as you've said, but I didn't know the term."

I huffed. "Come on! You're lying." I fell back in the bed, and sighed as he chuckled. "We kissed. We like each other. Where does it leave us?" I turned my head to look at him.

"Isn't it obvious?" Kyungsoo asked, and I shook my head, slowly, no idea what to expect from his big head. "Let's date. Be my girlfriend."

I choked on the air. "What?" I sat up, shocked and he dragged his body to lean against the wall, staring at me. "I mean, you serious? Not joking because I'm sure you are going to back out as soon as - wait I'm not going to say anything against the idea. Let's not talk about the future. Maybe date as long as you and I like, and if we still like each other, then get married - "

"Jia. Jia. Jia!" Kyungsoo laughed as he sandwiched my face in between his hands and exhaled. "You panic too much."

"Do I?" I asked in a distorted voice with my parrot lips because Kyungsoo had my face squeezed. "Sorryyy ~~"

He shook his head and let go off me. "I know I'm an idol, and I've resisted myself of this feeling for far too long. I'm a human being and I am supposed to feel this beautiful journey of love and I... I want to be selfish."

"You know I actually thought you would likely reject me among us, like Sehun did for the sake of Hana." I worried over the thought. "You're not going to.... if a point comes into your life like Seuun- wait. I just said I'm not going to ponder over the future," I mumbled, giving him a tight smile. "Sorry."

"I won't leave you. Ever." He held my hand gently and I lifted my head to smile at his gesture. "Not for the people at least. Jongdae owned his life, and I'm going to do that as well if the scene came to that. I won't lie to you. I won't become a drama character who would keep you in the dark for your own sake."

"I would like that." I squeezed his hand. "We are in this together, so both of us deserve to decide the fate of this thing. You gotta promise me another thing though."

Kyungsoo frowned as his eyes stared off at the distance, he must be wondering what more was to be left from his side. "What is it?" he asked after not having any idea of upcoming question.

"I'm going to be honest. You're going to grow tired of me and I'm of you. Waiting will be long. When I'll be free, you won't be available -"

"Jia-"

"And, when I'm in the surgery, you would have your schedules clear. Things are going to be rough. You're an idol and I'm a doctor. We've different things to do in our own lives, so I want you to feel free to let me know your feelings if they change over the period of time." I stared at him. "I want to be your happy time, not a burden. So, if you fall for someone else in those times or if anything happens that makes you want to break up, promise me, you won't hesitate to communicate that message with me."

Kyungsoo's eyes stayed at our intertwined hands, his thumb caressed my skin and I grew nervous about his response with each passing second. I tucked my hair behind my ear, and chuckled. "You're already reconsidering your decision on dating me. Aren't you?" I joked, the laugh seemed fake even to me.

Damn you Kang Jia.

He hummed. "I'm reconsidering my decision," he said and I felt my heart sink. "I mean you're too good for me. I'm wondering if I'm the right guy for you." His heart shaped smile was precious and when he cupped my cheek, I sank in his warmth. "I'm glad I found you."

"I'm a total nut job, but thanks for the compliment." I stuck my tongue out, and his smile widened. I pinched his cheek. "Now, my cute boyfriend, you need to head to your room, the party is over. I don't want them to discuss about us over a cup of tea." I kissed his cheek.

We climbed down the bed, and I almost dragged him to the door. "I'll meet you tomorrow, my beautiful girlfriend." He scratched the back of his head, flushed. Leaning in, he kissed my cheek and I noticed how his ears had turned red. He was totally embarrassed.

A laugh bubbled out of me. "Good night."

"Good night." Kyungsoo opened the door, and stepped out as I leaned against the frame, holding on to his hand. "Aren't you going to let go?" He asked, his curious eyes wide.

I shook my head, trying to look cute, and my cheeks was hurting from too much smiling. "I'm going to miss you so much. What shall I do?" I pouted.

"Then, shall I stay for the night?" He at once came close to me, and I turned red to his action, and pushed him gently.

"Pervert." I hushed, and he patted my cheek. We heard footsteps coming our way, and he immediately dived for a peck, and then jogged away. I turned to the hallway and saw Hwanhee coming towards me. As soon as her eyes met mine, she grinned, and ran into my direction.

I guess, I wasn't the only one having a love life tonight after all.
