His Cinderella | Choi Soobin

Nine ♚

|| HYEWON ||

"Oh shit," I murmur as I bend down once again to pick up the now crushed noodles. Yeah, Hanjin will definitely kill me when I get home.

"My bad, but you just look like an awful amount like-"

"Like Hanjin. Yeah, I know. We're sisters." I interrupt him. It wasn't even a shock to me that he said that, because everyone I meet does. What shocks me is why is Choi Soobin at a convenience store this early in the morning.

"I never knew Hanjin had a sister. Hi, I'm Choi Soobin. One of her friends." He takes out a hand for me to shake. For some reason, he didn't seem as saddened to see that I was in fact not Hanjin. That's a first.

"Sorry, I don't do psychical contact." I stare at his hand, the atmosphere becoming dark and awkward as his hand slowly goes down.

"Don't apologize. It's my fault. I guess both Hanjin and you are both like that."

Oh, how wrong he is. Hanjin's love language is psychical touch, she even randomly hugs students when it's one of her good days at school. This might backfire for her. Or not, I don't know.

"I'm going now," I say. The truth was, I felt sort of mad while looking at his face. His face was oh so perfect from his ears to his lips I wanted to look at it for eternity. He's just some random boy. Stop acting like this. I mumble to myself as I pay the cashier and run out of the store, silently begging that he wasn't behind me.

"Wait!"

And I spoke too soon. My feet stop as I curse under my breath before turning around, coming face first with the boy's chest. He was tall, no doubt. But he had to be at least 6'3 or somewhere around that.

"Do you want me to walk you home? It's late and we live in the same neighbourhood so it won't be that hard for me." He asks, bending down to meet my eyes. He's really just this nice to everyone, huh?

"I don't know if that's a good idea..." I say, my mind wandering to the possibility of Hanjin watching us from the window and then all shit going to hell. I probably won't be able to leave the house for months.

"O-Oh, okay. Be safe." He says, biting on his lips as I bow down. Not baring the awkwardness any longer, I turned around and started speed walking away from the store and more importantly from Choi Soobin.

Whatever happened between Soobin and I is long gone. So why does he keep on showing up in my daydreams? And it doesn't make it any better for my case now that I just bumped into him while I look like an actual mess.

When I arrived home, Hanjin said her hands hurt so then I had to make her noodles. Trying my best to hide my tiredness, I place the food onto her plate before running upstairs and collapsing on my bed.

And then I attempted to fall asleep. Attempted is the keyword because sleep was the last thing on my mind that night.

Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin, Choi Soobin.

It's all so stupid. I've talked to this guy literally twice, he doesn't even know my name AND he's probably going on dates with my sister now. I can't even explain in how many ways this is wrong but even if I tried to stop I can't.

He's all I think about these days.

Just go kiss someone, maybe that'll help. I can hear Taeyoung's "advise" for me descending in my ears. For someone who's so dorky, he sure does has lewd thoughts.

Wait, that's it. I just need to kiss someone. I've been a super-virgin to the point where I've never even held hands with someone. In fact, I've barely ever even talked to someone of the opposite gender. Maybe just a simple kiss can end all this madness.
