The Cursed Boy ( An Exo Fanfiction )

Chapter 35

Worenia 

after having dinner, the members head off to their own rooms, the night sky was beautiful and the cool breeze made the atmosphere in the castle relaxing, even though deep down they knew this was no time to relax but even a little speck of it felt nice to their constant strained mind. 

Eun ho and Jongin was walking towards their rooms, in the past few days, she had been sleeping in his room, not wanting to leave his side even for a minute, because what if something happened to him when he was in such a vulnerable state. but now, that he was well and good, and seemed to be perfectly fine and not really showing any signs of being unwell or weak, Eun ho was assured a little that Jongin will be okay, but still she knew that she won't be sleeping very well the whole night. 

when they both reached Jongin's room, he unlocked the door and stepped inside. Jongin looked behind him, to see Eun ho still standing outside. "what's wrong?" Jongin asked, he held the door wide open for her. she started to look around, avoiding Jongin's gaze but finally meeting his eyes, she cleared her throat and said, " um, now that you are okay and seem to be doing fine, there is no need for me to stay in your room to take care of you." Eun ho looked down at the ground, as she spoke.

 Jongin just stood there blinking, his face completely blank as he processed what she just said. for him, in his mind, he just thought now that Eun ho has clearly expressed her feelings for him, they will be sharing a room together but maybe that was not the case. Jongin just kept standing and staring at her. Eun ho avoided looking at his eyes and move from one foot to another. " um, yeah, sooo good night, have a good rest Jongin," she turned around to leave but Jongin grabbed her arm and pulled her inside his room, slamming the door shut. he put both his hands on either side of her, trapping her between the door and himself. "where do you think you are going hm? " Jongin questioned, his voice low, but soft. 

Eun ho kept her eyes at the ground not meeting his at all. she waited for Jongin to get back a little and let her go, but the latter didn't budge at all, it seemed like he was not going to move at all at least, not before he got an answer. " I was going to go back to my room, so you can get some rest," she replied. " you know, Suho Hyung did tell me that, you slept in my bedroom with me, while I was not awake, so what makes you think that now when I'm all well and good, I'll let you get away," Jongin said, still in his position not moving an inch. 

"I stayed because I was worried something might happen to you, at that time because you were obviously defenseless," she said, she continuously wished for Jongin to move a little back as he was very close to her. his face almost inches away from her. Jongin didn't say anything, his gaze soft on her as he studied how Eun ho tried to avoid his eyes and clearly having a conflict in her head, her expressions were way too readable. 

Jongin placed his fingers under her chin, and made her look up at him, Eun ho almost felt her heart, just melting into a puddle, under his gaze. his eyes held so much affection and gentleness. " thank you for staying here, with me. but can I ask you to stay, not because I'm hurt or not doing well but just because I want you to be here?" he pressed their foreheads together, Eun ho could feel his warm breath on her eyelashes, she couldn't seem to find her voice, it's not like she has any problem being with Jongin, she almost lost him without even telling him, her true feelings for him. Eun ho nodded as she didn't believe in her voice. 

Jongin smiled his beautiful honey smile and planted small pecks on both of her eyelids." i-i should go and get changed " Eun ho said. she cursed at herself for stuttering in front of Jongin, but could she be blamed. the man didn't move from his position even after she agreed to stay. "what's the need? " Jongin questioned. her eyes widened at his words, " Jongin I need to change into more comfortable clothes. I can't sleep in jeans." Eun ho said, Jongin just shrugged and move back a little, " who said about sleeping in your jeans?" Eun ho relaxed when he moved back, with her head working more clearly she said, " then what am I going to change into? I don't have clothes in your room. I have to go back to my room to get changed. "
