LAVENDER HAZE [YOON JEONGHAN]

CH: 15

Luna
 

I never thought I would be the one asking for his number first, sometimes I wonder from where did I find the courage to do that. I had one thing in my mind and that was to not repeat the same mistake again, and for that I needed his number. Remembering that one whole month without him, and not being able to tell him, the flashback was enough for me to ask him his number directly.

But I think that was the very first time I saw Jeonghan being flustered. It was always him who always made me fluster because of the small surprises and small gestures, he would take me by surprise.

“You want my number?”
“You heard me” I looked at him, he was looking flustered.
“Yes, because I don’t want to repeat what happened” he gave me his small smile, almost looking so pretty.

“Okay, my moon” and there he goes, with his daily dose of moon, he got no idea how it messes up my mind. Him calling me moon out of the blue, and almost making it the favorite word I want to hear.

I can’t tell him, how much he drives me insane with this one word, doesn’t matter if it’s the literal meaning of my own name. It just feels special when he calls me ‘moon’ rather than ‘Luna’ and it’s a feeling only I can understand, he can never understand how insane these little things are.

Giving me bouquet of carnations and now calling me moon, if this is not the way to flirt and make my heart flutter then what is it? I feel a lot of things changed overnight. One day out with him and here my heart is making me do a lot of things which I never thought it will do.

With each step I was taking towards Jeonghan; was making me wonder was I doing the right thing or should I stop, but I already took a step towards him, going out one a day out, more like a ‘date’ and now asking for his number because I don’t want to repeat the same thing which happened a month ago.

I tried to focus on the class, rather than thinking about Jeonghan. I’ve been thinking about him a lot recently; even Bora knows, I mean she is supposed to know about yesterday since she’s my bestfriend. I shook my head, trying to focus on the class. I looked at the animal physiology ma’am was teaching us. After this, I needed to go and talk to her about my papers. I needed to ask few things.

****

Days passed by in a blink of eyes, it was almost two weeks, since I asked for Jeonghan’s number and we’ve been texting eachother a lot. I didn’t know he was such a text person. We have been to lunch dates thrice in these two weeks, and that also didn’t help me to ‘not think’ about him. He was doing every little thing to stay in my mind. Last time we met was on weekend and the way he was doing so damn fine in casuals, like he was wearing a deep grey shirt, black pants with black and red converse. And he was driving to the place we decided to go but then he was driving me insane as well.

And right now, I was waiting for Jeonghan, to pick me up. He suddenly wanted to go on a day out but he didn’t tell me where he wanted to go. I didn’t even have any idea what to wear, I wanted to wear casuals so I put on a beige tee shirt and black pants. I was sitting on the couch when I heard my phone ringing, and saw it was Jeonghan. I picked up his call without any hesitation, we didn’t call eachother often, but according to him, he feels lazy to text and I am more of a text person, but at times I pick up his call. It doesn’t feel weird whenever we have calls but the nervousness is still there at times but I try to be causal about it, considering how randomly Jeonghan texts me telling about the most random things. It was something very precious to me, someone telling me about their small and random details about their day.

“I’m here, come down”
“Coming down.” I hung up and went to wear my converse. After checking everything, I locked the door of my apartment.

I went down and saw Jeonghan leaning on his car, talking on his phone. The moment I stepped closer to him, I noticed what was he wearing; a beige tee and white pants. I looked at myself then him, how do we match every time we go out, this was getting out my hand.

I walked towards him and heard him “no plans for tomorrow yet Cheol.” He took a pause and looked at me, probably trying not to gasp, “I need to go, I am busy bye” he ended the call, abruptly and gave his attention back to me.

He looked at himself after taking a look at me again, “are you sure, you don’t live inside my mind moon?” and he goes again with his flirting skills. “No, I don’t” I tried so hard not to react when he called me moon.

“Okay, let’s get in” he opened the door for me and I got in. Weirdly, whenever I get into his car, I always get that safe feeling, maybe I won’t be able to get any answers in the lifetime.

I saw him getting inside the car, “ready for today?” he asked me as if he didn’t even tell me where he was taking me. “You didn’t even tell me, where we are going. I am hoping I didn’t overdress or looking underdressed” I was still hoping I would fit in there wherever he was taking me without disclosing.

“Just trust me, moon” and here he goes, I looked away so that he won’t be able to see me trying to suppress my smile.

I trusted him way too much now, wherever he took me or suggested me, I always trusted his suggestions. It felt like he knew me too well, in this short span of time.

And who was I to lie, I liked his company, it was like, I was enjoying his company more and more each day.

He started driving, and I looked outside. My mind wandering about how things were changing, slowly. Despite all the academic pressure I still get time for myself and enjoy the day, thanks to Jeonghan. He reminds me I need to take time off on certain days so that I can enjoy being myself. Of course, academics are never easy and I do enjoy the pressure but at times it gets me and pulls me down into exhaustion.

“Thinking about something?” I turned to look at him, his eyes were focused on the road
“Nothing special”

“What are you doing tomorrow?” I thought how I have classes tomorrow and I need to attend, “I would be busy tomorrow, I have classes and need to go through few papers. Thankfully I have a day off at clinic tomorrow, I talked with Maple and she told me, I could take a day off.”

“That’s sad” I gave him a look, “Why?”

“You would be busy all day.” I nodded in agreement “Well, yes, academics are exhausting” he let out a laugh, I looked at him in disbelief “What?”

“I just know you’re an amazing student moon”
“How do you even know that?”

“I just know my moon is an amazing student and I put all my trust in this.”

And here he goes

Again.

Making me smile without any reason.
