chapter 12

"well what about your parents?" I still continued with the conversation.

"My mom died when I was 13. My father owns a 3-star restaurant at the end of this street. He lives there as well."

"Why aren't you staying with him then?"

"Uh...... I-I just wanted to live by m-myself! What about yours?"

Why the stuttering though? Nvm!

"My mom is in India." I replied shortly.

"And your father......Oh wait -"

"Yeah" I tried to give a small smile though I felt like tearing up.

"I'm so sorry"

"It's ok you didn't know"

"Then why didn't you bring her here with you? She must be lonely all alone. You'll rarely get holidays you know!"

"Well she said she wouldn't come as she has some unfinished business there" i replied.

I am either getting angry or teary. I am not sure which one is it.

Both of us sensed that it was an uncomfortable topic for us.

"Shall we start studying?" He finally got up with the bowls on his hand and went to keep it in the kitchen sink.

"Sure!" I heaved a sigh of relief.

After reviewing our english and korean we finally came to maths.

"How about we play a game?" There was a small smirk lingering on his lips.

"Game?" I raised one eyebrow.

" So the one who can do the sums faster gets to flick on the forehead of the other. See! Fun right?"

Nope. Weird.

"Hmmmm......"

The first one.

I flicked him hard on the forehead with all my might.

"Ouch! Can you be a little gentler?!"

"Nope"

"Aishh" he replied rubbing his forehead.

The second one.

I flicked him again.

Harder.

I grinned. This is fun!

The third one.

I was just on the last step when he finished it.

He got up on the table and did a little bit of celebration. Then he roared with his devilish laughter.

He moved his index finger pointing at me indicating me to come closer.

"Palli palli palli!"

I sighed and moved closer, my eyes closed. He came closer as well. We were just inches away. I could feel his slow breaths on my face.

Gosh! I think he can hear my heart racing! My heart might explode anytime!

TAE POV

Well I never thought I would have a chance to win.

Ever!

But when I got I did a little celebration. Y/n chuckled at my childishness.

She came closer our faces were inches away. Her eyes were closed. She was breathing heavily. I put my finger near her forehead and looked at her, my nose almost touching hers.

'She is beautiful!' I thought.

Her facial features obviously didn't match with ours, but she looked gorgeous as herself with her umber complexion and sharp facial features. I kept staring at her.

Y/n POV

I was waiting to be flicked but after some time when nothing happened I slowly opened my eyes.

Shoot! He is too close.

His nose was almost touching mine. He was staring at me like a hawk. His hazel eyes seemed to pierce right through my face as I felt tipsy.

We were staring at each other for some time without a word, when he suddenly flicked on my forehead.

HARD!

"OUCHH! what was that?!"

"It's more fun when you're flicked out of nowhere! Hehe"

There goes his boxy smile again!

This brat!

"Anyways you're good in all of them i guess" he pointed at our school books.

"Not quite. Geography and history is what I am weak at. And you're helping me with those the next day!Well I gotta go. It's already dark outside. I need to get home quickly."

"I was going out anyways. I will walk you home. We will grab something to eat on the way. I am hella hungry right now!" He got up.

"Well thank you then"
