❝BREAK FREE❞ // K. Seungmin

18

Because of that issue, he was not allowed to leave. He was stuck in the company, inside his room.

He stared blankly at the ceiling. He heard nothing but the sound of his ac and music from the practice room.

"We ran into a bit of trouble didn't we? I knew it, i had a bad hunch." He heard Haneul's voice. He felt the other side of the bed dipped.

"Your intuition is impressive." He grinned.

He turned his head to the side and saw Haneul with her hands on her face.

"How did you get in? They made my security super tight." He asked,

"Meh that was easy." She shrugged.

"How are you?" He asked quietly,

"I'm supposed to be the one asking that. What kind of nonsense comments did you get this time?" She asked back ignoring his question.

"I'm worried about you. You might not be able to handle their hate." He muttered and sat up from his bed.

"It's nothing, i don't care about them." Haneul responded truthfully. "Why didn't you deny it?" She asked.

"I simply don't want to." He admitted.

"Why? That would be the easiest escape." She sat up and tilted her head waiting for his answer.

"It just doesn't feel right." He sighed and shook his head.

"Why? It's not like you're lying." She casually said,

"It feels like it." He whispered into thin air.

"What do you mean?" She scooted closer to him.

"Haneul, what are we?" He finally got the courage to ask. He was scared, maybe it was just him and the feeling was not mutual. But he couldn't take it anymore, he wanted things to be clear.

"Seungmin what do you mean?" Haneul chuckled. His expression remained serious which made Haneul's laughter die down. "I'm sorry i don't quite understand." She muttered.

"I'm saying that i like you..." He admitted, Haneul didn't know how to respond. "Is it just me who feel this way?"  His breathing hitched as he wait for an answer.

"I don't know Seungmin, I've never experienced this before... I don't know how to respond." She explained, "I've never been liked by anyone in a romantic way... Well, people don't like me in general." She added. "Are you even sure? Maybe you're just confused." She seems to panic, she stood up immediately and so did Seungmin.

"Hey calm down, i understand that you're not used to something like this. but I'm serious." Seungmin reassured.

Haneul looked up to him, disbelief was still written all over her face.

"Do you trust me?" He asked, Haneul's features slowly relaxed. She nodded her head slowly. Seungmin smiled, "good." He muttered and placed a kiss on her forehead. Haneul rested her head on his chest, Seungmin hugged and patted her back humming to her favorite lullaby.

Seungmin is sure that he likes her. He was sure he was not just infatuated. He was thankful to Haneul for everything she had done for him. One day he wants to repay her in his own way too.

Who told you so, dilly, dilly
Who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, dilly, dilly
That told me so
