I started panicking internally, not knowing where to look when my eyes landed on his lips. I just couldn't take my eyes off...
Before I could even process things, he backed away a little.
Our faces were still very close to each other but not that intimate anymore.
I felt like I could have a heart attack at how fast my heart was racing! It was crazy. The warmth in my stomach that I felt from the second I hugged him, intensified. Was this what it meant to have butterflies in your stomach...? I was confused. But not in a bad way, that's for sure.
The feeling was so unknown to me...
But... how?
I had crushes before...
But this was different for some reason and I just could understand why.
Why was the boy in front of me different...?
Did I actually like him...? Or was it because we were very close to each other and I got nervous like with anyone else?
But I never felt like this with anyone before and it's not my first time being this close to someone so that wasn't it either...
So... what was it?
What was that feeling that I had only seconds before?
And why did I enjoy it so much?
Was it actually love?
No. That would be ridiculous. Someone like me? Falling in love? Ha. Funny.
But. What if?
I was pulled out of my thoughts when Sunoo cleared his throat and said;
"Nothing that you said is true. Nothing is your fault. Just because I'm close to you isn't a valid excuse for anyone to hurt me or anyone else around you. And it's not your fault that they act like this. I've been called these 'names' several times in the past as well so they don't affect me as much anymore. And I'm not going to stop being your roommate or anything like that just because of some random, irrelevant people. That would be very stupid of me. And I trust you, Niki. You are not a bad person. You helped me so much. From inviting me to eat with you and the others on the first day, to protect me from the people that tried to hurt me. You are amazing and such a kind person. I don't understand why you would ever think that I would leave you just like that after everything that you've done for me. Without you, I would've been lost. So, thank you. And don't say it was all your fault. You wanted the best for me and I'm so thankful for that. So, please, stop apologizing. There is nothing you have to say sorry for, okay?"
