Lee Heeseung || SECRETS

PART TWENTY SIX: 'boat'

CHAE-YOUNG POV :

Heeseung reaches his hand out for me, with one leg on the ground and the other resting on the side of the little wooden boat.

"You know I don't need your support to get onto a boat?"

I trail forward to get on, Heeseung snatches my hand but I wriggle it free. He stares at me pouting, then he grabs my hips and carries me onto the boat.

I shake my head tutting at him as I see a grin plaster onto his face, as he lugs himself into the boat.

He stands infront of me, I look up at him as he gazes into my eyes.

"You can let go now lover boy"

He quickly takes his hands off my hips and looks around as if nothing happend, rubbing the back of his neck.

I pick up the ores and sit down.

"Do you want me to row?" Heeseung asks politely.

"No thanks, maybe when I get tired!"

I start to row, he keeps staring at me.

I stop to catch my breath after five minutes of rowing.

I watch as Heeseung shuffles forward and comes towards me. His cold hand slithers behind my neck pulling me towards him. His lips hover over mine, his breath fanning my face. He lightly presses his lips against mine, my heart flutters but I doesn't kiss him back, too shocked to place what's happening. He pulls away admiring me. Then he goes in for another one this time I kiss him back. It feels like heaven. My heart explodes when I feel him playing with my hair. He smiles into my lips saying "I love you Chae-Young". He pull away chuckling when I try to kiss him again, "save it for later", he says sitting back. He point around us at all the eyes staring. I nod understandably.

I begin to get tired. "Okay you can take over from here"

I put the ores down and stand up, "Heeseung?"

He shakes his head and snaps out of the deep stare. "Sorry hat did you say?"

"What we're you thinking about?" I ask curiously.

"Oh um nothing!" He says while smiling at me, ruffling my hair.

Why'd he look upset? But angry at the same time?

"Heeseung is everything okay?"

He nods smiling, showing of his pearly whites.

I stare at him as he beings to row, I see his smile fade almost instantly.

He looks pale. There's not a drop of colour in him.

I lean towards him and brush his hair off his four head and place my hand on it.

"Heeseung, you're burning up!"

He starts to take deep breaths, clenching his chest, an ore falls into the water.

"Heeseung?!"

What's going on?

What's wrong with him? 

I must get him to land, quick.

HEESEUNG POV:

My eyes slowly flutter open.

I raise my head and inspect my surroundings.

Why am I back here?

I see Chae sitting in the seat biting her nails.

"I know that when you're nervous you bite your nails"

She looks up at me, I've never seen her run so fast towards me.

"Are you okay? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Should I get you-"

"Woah slow down darling!"

She nods taking a deep breath, "you obviously haven't been telling me something"

I tilt my head at her.

"Tell me why the doctor asked if you were here for your weekly checkup Lee Heeseung"

So she found out.

"I uh-"

She hugs me. I'm confused as to why but I hug her back placing a kiss on her four head.

"You promise you're going to be okay?" Chae says shoving her face into my chest.

"I promise" I say rubbing her back, comforting her.

I lied.
