(Off scene)

(Soomin ran her fingers through her hair as she was listening to Seokmin explaining Wonwoo's life. He has always been an introvert, never really talks that much in front of anyone, but he always had a smile on his face, used to go off limits with his friends sometimes. But everything started changing during his middle school, he started to become quieter and calmer, and at the start of his High School his parents were divorced. His parents live in different areas, he stays in both places time to time according to the court's statement. He became so cold and tough after their separation. He never really cared about knowing what was the cause of their divorce. He felt betrayed. All he keeps remembering is his parents shouting over each other. He never really talks at home.)

Your Pov

I tried to keep a smile on my face when he came back. We enjoyed our tteokbokki, watching TV. I organized the guest room for him.

I excused myself and went to my room. I sat blankly for awhile, thinking about Wonwoo until I opened my laptop and decided to learn video editing and stuff because most jobs require this skill nowadays.

I found some tutorial videos on YT and started installing some apps. Wonwoo on the other hand started playing games, I didn't know he'd be this gamesick, I was hearing him sighing every time he lost a game. The clacking sound of the keyboard was all over the place.

Past midnight, I was still watching some videos to learn editing, Wonwoo knocked on my door, "Come in

Past midnight,
I was still watching some videos to learn editing, Wonwoo knocked on my door,
"Come in." I said.

His hairs were wet, he had his towel around his shoulder, showing off his forehead, looking damn perfect as he always does.

"You're still up?" He asked.
"Yes. You shower this late?" I shrugged focusing on my laptop screen.
"Yea, what are you doing btw?"
"Trying to learn video editing maybe. I suck at it."
"Wow. I know how to edit. Maybe I can help you. Let me see."

To my horror, what I never expected, he put his arms around me, rested his right palm on mine, leveled his face as mine, my heart reached its peak point, it was beating like crazy. I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes, I became nervous being this close to him once again.

"Soomin, anything wrong? Are you okay?" He asked as he saw me closing my eyes.

I started blinking, stuttering. He turned my chair to him, placed his hand on my forehead,
"Why are you sweating? Are you okay?"
(Why doesn't he know that even this makes my heart weaker?)
I pursed my lips and fixed my eyes into his.

"Wonwoo, listen to me, don't be mad okay?"
"Why would I?" He smiled holding the hand rest of my chair, leaning over me.
"I know that now we are a couple. But I still need time to get used to being around you. If you continuously race my heartbeat by doing this, I don't think I'll survive." I didn't know how I could just say that but anyway I did, closing my eyes.

When I opened my eyes I saw him smiling at me, he patted my head and said,"You do the same thing to me, Soomin

When I opened my eyes I saw him smiling at me, he patted my head and said,
"You do the same thing to me, Soomin." He snorted.

My cheeks started heating up when he leaned down to me and gently pressed his lips on mine.

"Oh you wanted to learn video editing. If you're not tired let me help you. We have the weekend tomorrow. Don't worry about waking up late."

(God, what's wrong with him! He just kissed me and in a second he's acting like nothing happened. I wish I could have the same spirit.)

[That's it for today. Hope you liked it.]
