Hindered Ambiguity

Growing

Krystal's POV

"Soojung-ah!" I jolted awake, in the state of shock as I heard Jessica, my sister calling me downstairs. I didn't bother to respond and lied back down adamantly still absorbing my warm pillow against my bloated head trying to dig in, receiving more of its comfort.

"Soojung-ah!" I heard her again sensing a bit of nuisance while shouting my name.

She opened my door quite roughly and invited herself inside. "If you don't get up right now you'll miss the orientation. Come on!" She dragged me up but I refused to use my strength to sit up. I plopped myself under the sheets again and savour each minute of sleep I had. I didn't care if I was late or not- whatever it is, it can wait. I needed my beauty sleep.

There was a silence afterwards, indicating that she must've been gone so I closed my eyes once again and wandered off to dreamland.

But that feeling was suddenly interrupted when someone crawled underneath my sheets, letting the cold air seep in and snuggling me in a soft squeeze.

"Hmm... That feels nice..." I mumbled, liking the comfort.

"Really? Maybe I should do this to you more often then." A deep husky voice whispered into my ears and I instantly knew who that familiar tone came from. Minhyuk. It was Kang Minhyuk. My eyes both managed to peel open as the sun was hovering over my face, sending indignant wrinkles and radiating illuminated hotness into my skin.

"I didn't think you would ever wake up. Morning Krystal!" Minhyuk gleefully greeted me and flashed on his pearly whites.

"Ew. Go away!" I shooed him away but he didn't move an inch.

Even though my eyes were closed, I could feel his eyes bore around my face. His hot breath remained constant, blowing into my skin, sending electric currents into my body each time. He smelt like vanilla scented candles, my favourite.

My mind kept telling me to jump off and come back from my delusional thoughts but my heart didn't have a mutual understanding. No matter how much I tried to ignore this longing feeling of wanting him, I knew in the end I couldn't set myself to claim him mine. He was already another's and I knew well enough that it wouldn't be right stealing what doesn't belong to me. He loved my sister as much as she loved him back. I just needed time to let that settle in my mind and probably avoid Minhyuk from now on. I can't possibly ruin that perfect relationship they both created. It wouldn't be right for my sister, especially since we are family. I don't think I can see myself choosing him over my sister any day. Possible as it may sound I wouldn't go that low for my own selfish love.

Although I can't take away the pain I feel inside- the same way I can't do anything for my unrequited love, my heart still beats for him no matter what. There no denial to that. It would be better to cut bonds straight off than letting my feelings lead on and grow deeper for him. Because eventually, I have to choose my sister over a petty little crush. There's no denial to that either.

I flutter open my eyes, still with blurred vision and gaze into his hazel brown orbs, filled with soft delicateness. I shifted and looked around to see my untidy bedroom, unclean since two days ago. My body froze as I tried to move away from his tangled arms still hovering over my waist. In that moment, my cheeks produced a small tint of pink and when realising our current position, I turned away, ducking my head down.

Recklessly getting out of his grasp, stumbling as I crawled out of the bed and at the process hitting my left foot in one of the bed legs, I let out a cringe of anger and pain. Bolting out of the room, grabbing every piece of necessity I need in the bathroom, I ran as fast as my legs could keep up and I breathed heavily after I locked myself inside, trying to get my composure back to normal.
