Bite My Neck🩸- Eunchae + Garam

027, "Unfamiliar Romance."

- Readers POV -

Eunchae searches the unfamiliar area of the botanical garden with her eyes and spots a bench not so far away from where they are."That's where we should sit down!" Eunchae suggests grinning, and Garam nods. Garam doesn't want to admit that she's nervous because she's never been here before, she's a little scared to tell the truth.

But it's too late now, she can't back out now, or else Eunchae would get hurt. This is too romantic to be a date with friends. It's just friendly, right? Garam wasn't able to fully process what was going on in her head this morning when she woke up. She felt weird seeing Eunchae with such an intense masculine aura and deep voice, she couldn't get over it, which is why she tried to pretend that it never happened.

It's not as if she hated it or anything, it's just a little... weird. "Garam, you haven't said anything for the past few minutes, are you okay? You seem quiet... You're not scared of being here are you? Is it too crowded for you? Should we go back?" Eunchae asks concerned.

"Oh no, I'm okay! I was just thinking about.. The weather." Garam lies, looking up at the bright sky and she smiles. Eunchae is still insecure about this whole situation, she feels like everyone's staring at them, but she's just imagining it.

"I don't like being in this form, i just want everything to go back to normal! Why did Hanni make such a stupid device to begin with!? And why was it even able to do such a thing!? That stupid Mokpo Hanni, I swear I'll make her pay for this!" Eunchae promises as she looks around her surroundings.

"Let's just enjoy this date. We can still have fun right?" Garam says as she gives Eunchae's shoulder a gentle pat. But what Eunchae does next surprises Garam and she feels how her cheeks start to heat up.

Eunchae grins as she wraps her arms around Garam's waist tightly and buries her face in her stomach, "I'm happy, Garam." She says softly.
Garam doesn't know what to do at the moment, she feels her heart race a bit because Eunchae suddenly hugged her she just sits there, almost frozen.

"U-um... Eunchae, are you okay? Why are you hugging me? Weren't you angry just now?" Garam asks, still not knowing what to do with her arms.

Eunchae lifts her head, and looks up at Garam with a smile on her face. "I was just happy that you decided to hang out with me." She murmurs quietly, "It's really nice spending time with you Garam." Garam felt as if she was hit with a brick when Eunchae said those words. It was as if her body was melting, she felt like she was in a trance.

"...I like spending time with you too, Eunchae. But.." Eunchae raises her head, "But what?" She asks. "Ah, I just.. You're too close! Let me go!" Garam says shyly as she tries to push Eunchae away. She's been too close for too long, and she felt embarrassed. "Oh.. Yeah I'm sorry." Eunchae says in a sad tone as she lets go of Garam.

"No! I mean.. I like being close to you but.. It feels too intimate and I don't know how to act around you, I just.. It's making my heart beat so fast! I don't know what to do..!"

Garam rants and the words come out of her mouth before she can even stop herself. She knows she said something weird and she feels bad when she sees the surprised look on Eunchae's face.

"Garam... Are you in love with me? Like... Love love me? As in the love kind of love, not the friendly kind of love." Eunchae asks in a hushed tone. "No! I don't know. Maybe... I don't know! This is so hard to explain." Garam admits.

"Oh..." Eunchae doesn't know what to say for a few moments, and then she looks away with an awkward smile on her face as she scratches the back of her head. Garam feels how awkward it gets again between them.
