Two-faced

- his jealousy -

[ Tuesday ]

"Okay, can you guys at least pretend to be in love??" Jiyul sighs. Our group is practicing outside for the play.

"Sorry" Jacob says, and we glance at each other awkwardly. This is exactly what I was afraid of.

"Do we have to hold hands?" I ask, holding up my intertwined hands with Jacob.

"Oh I'm sorry. Do you think Romeo and Juliet should be in love standing five feet away? Huh?" Jiyul puts her hands on her hips.

"Sorry," I say, really regretting her being the director.

"From the top," she sighs.

An hour later I see Sunwoo walk up to us and I drop Jacob's hand immediately.

"Hey," he walks up to us.

"Hi," I say, and he pecks my cheek.

"You guys are so cute," someone in my group says.

"Hm," Sunwoo grins. "I know."

Jacob shuffled away and Jiyul raises her hand.

"Ahem. Kim Sunwoo, we're not done here. Can you please leave?" Jiyul asks, and Sunwoo looks at me sadly.

"I'm sorry." I tell him.

"It's fine," he lets go of my hand.

"We're still on for movie night today?" Jacob asks.

"Of course," Sunwoo salutes us and walks away.

[ Sunwoo pov ]

As soon as I walk a distance away, I hear laughing from their group. I look back and see Jacob holding Daeun in his arms.

That should be me.

I just can't help but wonder what chemistry they still have. I wonder if I'm always Daeun's second choice. Does she feel the amount of love I feel for her?

[ daeun pov. 9 pm ]
We decide to have the movie night in my room and we watch Be With You. Jia and Chanhee sit on the bed leaving the rest of us on the floor.

Sunwoo pulls my closer so that I'm laying on top of him with my head resting on his chest.

"I missed you," he cups my cheek.

"Why," I laugh. "We see each other everyday."

Sunwoo just shrugs and focuses on the movie while playing with my hair.

Our friends slowly fall asleep one by one even though the movie is just halfway through.

Sunwoo and I stay awake though, because my heart is beating too fast to fall asleep.

"Can I braid your hair?" He asks in a low voice as not to wake our friends. "I want to practice."

"Sure," I sit up and reposition myself in front of him.

I couldn't be more relaxed as Sunwoo gathers my hair and weaves pieces together. He mumbles something and starts over, dragging a strand of hair out of my face I feel him linger behind me.

A surge of fluttery feeling takes over as he kisses my bare jawline while holding my hair back.

"You're so pretty you know that?" He says quietly, and he's so close I can smell his scent of berries.

Sunwoo traces shaped along my shoulder and connects his lips to the side of my neck.

"Is this okay?" He asks.

"Mhm," I manage, because I can't comprehend any words right now.

It feels like my whole body is blushing as Sunwoo applies more pressure to the spot on my neck.
