HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 22

Shasha

I opened my eyes slowly and noticed the night lights were on; I also realized I was holding onto something and then looked at my hand. I-I I was holding the hem of a shirt which is not mine. I looked up, I gasped in surprise. I took my hands back, afraid of everything, why was I holding his shirt, moreover he was sleeping in a sitting position, his Mac was on his lap and he was leaning towards me. I saw his eyes moving slowly, I closed my eyes shut, I don't want to face him right now. No way, he didn't go back to his room and stayed with me all night, and as far as I remember I dozed off while watching, I was sitting beside him then how am I lying in the bed right now? And that also beside him and holding the hem of his shirt.

"Good morning Shasha, I know you're awake" his husky morning voice which I never thought I would get to hear, his morning husky voice, his deep voice is my weakness yet... "Shasha" he called out my name again.

I have no more excuses now, he knows I'm awake, I opened my eyes slowly and looked at him, he was looking at me intensely. I wanted to speak but looking at him I lost my voice, early morning, basically, my day started with him and the unwanted number of butterflies dancing inside me was illegal.

"How are you feeling?" is he asking me how I am feeling after I heard his morning voice in the first time in my life? No way, right? but if he was asking me how I was feeling, I would tell him I was feeling all sorts of things I never thought I would feel. I shrugged off that thought but his intense gaze wasn't leaving me. "is it still hurting or you're feeling better?" I looked at him in surprise, he.... was asking that... and my mind-

"I'm better, thanks," I told him, "good then, I will go back to my room and freshen up then we will go for breakfast" I nodded and he got up from the bed.

He kept his Mac on the table and he walked out of my room, I heard the door close. Why am I feeling so many things? And these butterflies, goodness. and my cheeks were burning hot.

I got up from the bed and sat, I wanted to think over what happened yesterday. I don't remember anything from yesterday after I dozed off that also god knows when and how. I shrugged off the thought and wanted to get fresh. I got down from the bed and then went to lock the door. I walked towards the wardrobe and was about to take out a dress then I heard the phone ringing, I couldn't recognize the music, I checked my phone, it wasn't mine.

I searched for the phone, I walked towards the other side of the bed, and saw a phone.

It was his phone. I was about to pick up but then saw Jeonghan's name on the caller id and their picture. I was battling with my thoughts about that should I pick up or not because it was his phone after all; I finally took his phone and the call ended on its own, I heaved a sigh. I kept the phone on the bed with a smile, that I don't need to pick up his call, I was about to walk away and heard his phone ring again.

I accepted his phone call this time without giving much thought to it, "were you sleeping?"

"Jeonghan, it's me"

"Oh, wait what?" there was a pause, "Shasha?"

"Yes"

"Where is he and how did his phone end up with you?"

"He went back to his room a few minutes ago and probably forgot his phone here. You called twice so I thought to pick it up, it could've been urgent you know.." I explained it to him

"I see, if he is awake, then everything's good" I could feel his smile. "Do you want me to tell him something?"

"no, no it's fine. Once he comebacks, just let him know that me and Byeol will be going for a day out, so both of you go and have breakfast together today without waiting for us. That's what I wanted to tell him."

"Okay I'll let him know, but where are you guys going?" I was curious, and I know day out means, a full day out for them, no doubt they need this. "Why are you curious?"

"do I need a reason when it comes to you?" I know he could feel me smirking, goodness "I won't tell you" I was about to say something but he just hung up. I was about to call him back, just to get back at him and then I noticed the wallpaper.

It was pretty, it felt like....

YES It's the picture, he clicked on Dotonbori Bridge that night and I can see my hands on the railings of the bridge. I was admiring it but then snapped out of it, it was his phone and not mine. I kept his phone on the bed and went inside the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out of a good shower, I felt good.

I heard a knock on the door, I got up and went to open it and saw him standing and looking good in casuals. "can I come in?" he asked, and I nodded.

He locked the door, removed his shoes and came inside, "Jeonghan called" I took a pause, "he called you and I picked it up, he called twice so I thought it might be urgent"

"What did he say?"

"he said he will go out with Byeol today and told us not to wait for them for breakfast."

"We can do that, then. Also how about we go out in the evening? Or do you want to go out after breakfast? And then we can go to the Umeda Sky building? What do you say?"

"Sounds good, let's have breakfast and then go to Umeda Sky Building" I smiled at him.
