Seventeen Imagines III

#75 Don't Make Me Hate Myself Even More (2)

"Nuna have a total of 18 moles in your body. I only counted those that are visible so it is still not final."

"W-What?! Are you crazy?! Why would you count such stuff!?"

"Why not? I wanted to know everything about Nuna."

It's been a week since Dino stayed at our house with me and my aunt. I opposed this idea but also afraid to break aunt's friendship with Dino's mom. Aunt did took care of us when we went to their place even if we're not blood related. That's when Dino and I met during our childhood days.

Dino was a good and... innocent kid back then. So I don't have any idea how he turned out to be an obsessive guy. He very cautious with his actions though. Yet still, counting and memorizing my every move is very uncomfortable.

'We're adults for Pete's sake!'

"Nuna had 17 spoonful of cereals and two sips of milk. You'll get hungry later so I made a sandwich for you." Dino gave me a pack of sandwich when I was about to go out of the house.

Here we go again. Dealing with this guy is much harder than listening to my boss's nags.

Looking at the sandwich on my hand, goosebumps creep all over my skin. No wonder, he was gazing at me during our breakfast to count each times I picked up my spoon and I sip on my drink. I couldn't control my expression while agonizing about this.

"You're looking sour. Did you not like it?" His raspy voice asked me.

I managed to answer while raising the corners of mouth. "N-No. I'm thankful. You're going to be late for school so fasten up, Dino."

"Okie," he chuckled. He bent down a little as if he's a dog waiting for me to pet him. "Then pat my head before you go." Dino pointed his dyed pink hair.

Seriously...!?

Though I'm cringing real hard, I patted his head per his request that made him giggled cutely.

'Right. I rather go with the flow than waste my time in explaining the common human analogy.'

As I pat his head, he grabed my hand that was on his hair. I thought he'll gonna pull it down but...

"H-Hey!"

It was too fast I didn't have the time to resist when he suddenly pressed his lips at the back of my hand!

"See you later, my nuna." He smiled before letting my hand go and walked inside his room.

This is...

This is the first time he touched me again after our first reunion last week!

"I TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!" my scream vibrated around the house.

Thankfully, aunt wasn't here. If I told her that there is something going between me and Dino, it could be a disaster. How could I face Dino's mom and tell her that her son is a psycho?!

"What's wrong (Y/n)? You're spacing." My co-worker asked me.

"Huh? Ahhh," I forged a laugh.

The situation in the house weigh me down even when I'm at work. But there's no way I'll clumsily share this to anyone. If I'll speak in a third person, will it be okay?

"Hey, there is a woman," I spoke.

Yeri, my co-worker, sat beside me and listened. "Yes?"

"She has a childhood friend that is a little younger than her."
