HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

CH: 61

Shasha

Things were going smoothly, after his confession two weeks ago. We've been meeting almost every day for lunch or he would randomly come to visit me during lunch. Or he would let someone deliver flowers to his office. I can never predict his next move. He would call me at times, and ask me how I'm doing. Dating him for real; was something I always dreamt of and getting the love, I was willing to give him was something for me. At times, I would just want to see him because he is my comfort person. He would sometimes make time for me and ask me for dinner as well.

Dating him and discovering new sides of him almost every day is something I just imagined.

I looked at him and smiled, "What happened?" he looked at me and I shook my head. We came out for dinner, he insisted to take me out for dinner although I told him it's fine. "Nothing"

"but your smile tells me something, what's in your mind love?" every time he calls me love, the butterflies start flying and giggling inside me, and my heart skips a beat always.

"I was just thinking.... everything feels nice." He smiled at me. His dimples looked cute.

"Reminds me, I need to go Budapest for three to four days" I nodded, he would be gone for a few days. Last time I remember he went on a business trip to New York for a few days and he was back. That time he just told me, as if it was nothing but this time he was telling me face to face that he won't be here and I would miss him. I would miss his random calls and texts and the time zone difference between us. "Are you sad?" I looked at him and shook my head, was my disappointment visible?

"Will you miss me?" he looked at me, how can he just ask me, I rarely admit to someone that I miss them face to face, and now look at him, trying his best to make me admit that I will miss him. "I don't think you would miss me?" he looked sulky. This is him, sulky Seungcheol. I already looked defeated, I was about to say, but his words cut me off "I won't miss you either" I looked at him surprised, this was the first time in ever he told me that.

"Well... then-

My words were again cut off because of him, "because you're coming with me" my spoon froze, and I was looking at him with shock.

"What?" I stared at him for a second to process what did he just say. "We're going to Budapest for four days" I am still shocked. "You can't just drop the bomb on me." I wanted to go, yes if he wanted me to but he can't just drop a bomb like that. I've work as well. Thankfully I hired one more person this week because of the way I had to do overwork at times.

"You don't want to come?" of course I want to but let me process this for a second, "I need to schedule things at work as well"

"Well, I already booked tickets and hotels" I looked at him amused, he never does this "You never did this."

"But I'm doing now. You make me do everything I never did for anyone." He paused for a second and spoke again "If you really can't or don't want to come, you don't have to. But you've been working damn hard these past few months. You deserve a little break."

"Nice try to convince me. Are you sure it's not because you will miss me way too much?" I teased him, he always does this with me, then why shouldn't I do this with him?

"Well, I thought about this once" His eyes were looking at mine. "But I'm beginning to think about the answer again and I think you're right" his sudden confession did everything it shouldn't have to me, I felt defeated at his genuine words.

I wanted to tell him so many things, but I can't let him cancel everything right now, just a few days ago, but getting a break and I wanted to Budapest once at least won't hurt. I smiled at him and made my final decision in a split second.

"Then I guess I'm going to Budapest." his smile was priceless when I told him. This smile added lifespan to my life, I wanted him to smile like this always, I love the way he smiles at me, I love the way he steals glances at me, I love the way he loves me.

"You've two days to pack and schedule your things" this was literally an unannounced trip and I had no idea what am I going to do there and why was he taking me with him? He's just so sweet that it makes me wanna give him more of it

"Now let's eat or else your food will get cold" I nodded and started eating.

We ate our dinner and after dinner, he insisted to go and spend some time at a nearby park. I looked at the starry sky, "this would be our first trip, together" and then turned to look at him, "Yes"

"Thank you for agreeing" I smiled, "how could I not? It was a tempting offer and you booked everything already. Also let me know from next time if you do something like this again, okay?" he smiled "you'll be knowing everything from next time because you would be living with me love" again 'love' I tried to avoid the flustered look and looked up at the sky. I heard him laugh, I looked at him again, "you're so adorable Shasha" I smiled at him and he gave me a quick peck.

"Also, I already informed your family in case" my eyes widen in surprise, "you did what?"

He just shrugged at my question, like can he be serious, when did he even do all these? That's why Jeonghan was nudging me since yesterday, oh god this man is insane. "you're insane"

"I know that and you're the reason why I'm insane" I looked at him with my unbelievable face, he is something.

"We have got a flight at 12:25 pm from here and it's a bit long flight. Thankfully we don't have any stop and we will reach there by 5:15 pm" he looked so mesmerizing while talking, I looked at my wrist watch and it was almost 10 pm "okay, I need to go home and start packing." I was about to get up, but he held my wrist and pulled me towards him. Our faces were few inches apart, "I'm excited shasha" and he leaned closer, my heart started beating fast. I closed my eyes, hoping he would kiss me. "I'm not kissing you anymore tonight" I opened my eyes and he pulled himself back and smiled at me.

"A punishment for not replying me fast when I asked you 'will you miss me?'" he can't be serious right now. The heat crept to my cheeks, I was unable to look away from him. "Let's go" he said and got up.

I followed him back to his car, I could feel him smiling. He was such a tease.
