WASTED!

(3) Relentless teasing

''What are you doing here again? I'm sure you wouldn't like to present yourself to the mosquitoes as a food. Come down.'' I said as I noticed him sitting at the same spot again.

The sun had just set and there was a strip of orange hue hanging low in the sky, casting a dying warm glow over his soft yet sharp pale features. He was lost in his meaning habit of counting stars in the sky. Those sharp eyes with dark circles underneath them, looked up to me in utmost annoyance and said,

''Leave me alone.''

''But you said you'd cooperate?-'' I said bewildered.

''Did I?'' said he.

''You!-'' I squealed but was cut off by a loud mown (yawn+moan lol sorry).

''Park Jimin!'' I stomped my feet on the floor, ''stop acting like a kid.''

''I wish I was a kid again though; being an adult is... unhygienic.''

''Uh-uhm-'' I tried to find words but I failed miserably. But what he said was true, I miss when I was a kid. Why the hell was I so excited to be an adult anyways?

''Now listen to me. Drop the act like the universe is going to end tommorow. (I wanted to say 'the hell is going to break tommorow', but I'll shut it :)) Come down with me and smile a little. A little humour would do you good.'' I nodded after giving my speech, feeling like quite an experienced doctor. Though I sounded harsh, I'm saying it for his own good. He doesn't even listen to polite words so whatever.

''Life is not that easy, rich Missy. You have to fight to live, except if you have inherited a lot of wealth.'' he said smiling and his eyes crinkled and twinkled beautifully into thin lines. He should definitely smile more often.

''I-I-''

''Leave it. I want to see the stars from here.'' he said.

''Then I'll be here too.'' I ploped down beside him and pouted adamantly.

''Whatever.'' he rolled his eyes and rested his head back on the wall.

''You know, my dad said, if you fall asleep while looking at the stars, the next day would be bright for us.'' I said trying to initiate small talk. I knew, I had to make him trust me enough to get him to talk about himself.

''You really believe that? Or... are you indicating that you want to sleep here with me?'' he said mischievously. The dark chuckle that erupted from him thereafter was downright sinful and nothing I could imagine coming from a high-pitched voice like his.
(Okayy, he can be hot, sassy or cute when he wants)
My breath catched in my throat but I gulped hard and said, ''Obviously not! What are you saying?!"

He seemed satisfied with my agitated behaviour and hummed in response.

''And yeah... I don't really believe my father's words but it isn't a sin to trick your mind into believing that and maybe next day it'll work to trick your mind to think bright.'' I said.

''Wow.. deep.'' he snorted.

''What else do you expect from a psychologist?'' I said proudly.

He smiled and shook his head, ''From a rookie? Yeah right.''
