Beam's P.O.V.
Everything was good. Forth spent the rest of the day reading a book and I was glad. I was still feeling awkward. But it was time for bed. I was one of the first in the room. I was praying that by some miracle Pufai will climb on my bed instead of Mints. But sadly she walked straight to Mints bed. I sighed. It wasn't long before Forth entered and walked to the bed. I quickly put one of my pillows in the middle before turning the other way and bringing the sheet up to my head. I looked at the bed beside were Yihwa was looking at us with pity. I felt the bed dip so I knew Forth got in.
"Are you still mad because I cuddled you yesterday." He said and I could feel his eyes on me so I just shook my head no. "Are you mad at me or something?" He asked again.
"No." I mumbled Noh looking at him since I knew if I didn't answer out loud he will keep pushing.
"Then what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said closing my eyes hoping he'd let it be. He was quiet for a while and I thought the conversation was over. I was thankful but the quiet didn't last long.
"Are you uncomfortable around me?" He asked then and I stiffened. "That's it! What did I do then? Are you really that uncomfortable because I cuddled you?" He asked and everyone's eyes were on us.
"No it's not that let's just sleep. Everyone is looking at us." I said but he just looked at me in the eye for a second. I didn't want to maintain eye contact since it reminded me of this morning so I looked away.
"I'm sorry then it wasn't my intention. I was joking this morning I didn't do it on purpose I just moved during the night. I will sleep somewhere else tonight." He said standing up.
"No wait Forth." I said but he was out the door before I could even finish talking. I gulped all I do here is mess up don't I? I looked at Yihwa helplessly.
"Go after him!" She said and everyone seemed to agree with her. Without thinking twice I stood up from the bed to follow him. But I didn't know where to look for him! This house is huge. I checked the living room and outside but he was no where to be found. I almost gave up before I remembered the individual rooms. I looked in the one I was previously in with Mint but he wasn't there. So I walked to the other one who was farther away. There he was laying on the bed staring at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry Forth." I said and he looked startled. He even left the door open but it's still surprised someone came in.
"Just go stay you don't have to say sorry if you really mean it. Those are your feelings even if I'm hurt." He said and I felt a pain in my chest.
"It's not that I'm serious! I was comfortable this morning. It was the best sleep I've had in a while." I admitted feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Then what? I didn't annoy you that much today I spent most of my time reading. So what did I do?" He asked confused. He had a frown on his face and his eyebrows were close together and for a second there I thought he looked cute. But I shook it off. This place is messing with my head.
"I just felt a little awkward after the workshop." I said looking at the ground. I didn't want to bring it up in fact I wanted to forget about it
"Huh, why?" He said and I quickly looked up at him. WHAT DOES HE MEAN WHY? HE WANTED TO KISS ME NO?
"I don't know I just did." I said feigning ignorance.
"You're weird. Anyway just go to bed." He sighed.
"You're not coming with me? You might get in trouble for sleeping here. He just shrugged.
"I don't care I'm staying." He said pouting and I could tell he was sulking. I don't know how but I just knew.
"Fine." I said closing the door. I couldn't help but laugh when he looked up after the door shut.
"What are you doing here still?" He asked faking annoyance.
"Don't even start you looked like a kicked puppy when I closed the door and you thought I left." I said climbing in bed beside him.
"You're imagining things." He said faxing away from me.
"Yeah right you can't deny it I saw it with my own two eyes." I said.
"Just go to sleep. I've said it like a thousand times already if I have to say it once more I'll knock you out myself." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Try it you idiot I will punch you so hard that I will send you flying into the pool." I said and he laughed. I smiled at that. I prefer it when he laughs at me that him being mad/sulking. "Come cuddle me or I will leave." I said not knowing where that came from. My stupid mouth seems to have a mind of its own. But I was really comfortable yesterday. I looked at him waiting for an answer. Part of me wanted to run away but the other wanted to stay in case he said yes. And that part was winning.
"Why are you blushing if you're the one who asked." He said and I just glared at him. I was about to start ranting but he didn't let me. "I will cuddle you if you stop trying to fight me every five seconds." He said and I closed my mouth. He came closer putting his arms around my waist.
"Hey, hey, hey wait a second! Let me turn around first." I said quickly facing away from him. He came closer like yesterday and my heart wanted to burst out of my chest. I'm not used to being like this with anybody that must be the reason.
"Goodnight." He whispered against my ear and my heart started beating even faster if it was possible.
"Night." I managed to say. He was the first to fall asleep since I was suddenly feeling really confused by my own actions. Why am I getting so close to him? I haven't even apologized to Mint but the second he got mad at me I chased him. In the end I ended falling asleep without finding an answer.
