french exit

9. lovers rock - park wonbin

the music echoed through the hallways of the giant house, in one of the richest areas of the neighbourhood. the house was owned by none other than park wonbin.his parents always went on business trips, so he had done these a lot of times. so even if i'm not the biggest party person, i decided to go today.

he always invites me, and i always refuse. but when i finally said yes, i could tell that his smile couldn't leave his face all day. why was he so happy for me to go to his party? he has many friends and always invites many people. why was he so happy for me?

i'm barely noticed by people, i like rather being quiet and just observe my surroundings other than being outgoing like him. but for some reason he always bugs me. he's one of the first people that made friends with me: he approached me on the first day of school after finding interest in my style and kept chatting me through out the whole day, ever since then, we're close, and to be honest, i am very thankful for that.

he's a really nice person, always treating people with respect and kindness, and even if he knows a lot of people, he always has a difference between friends and just people he knows. and i guess i am on that friend list.

back to the party. i was wearing a nice black dress, not so tight. i hate showing my body figure. i was in the kitchen, drinking and talking with a few people. wow! talking with new people? totally out of my comfort zone, but i managed to do it. they were wonbin's friends, shotaro, eunseok, sungchan, seunghan, sohee and anton. they were very nice people, just like him. i've only ever talked to eunseok other than wonbin from that group, but i had fun with them.

suddenly, i hear my favorite song start playing. lovers rock by tv girl. that made a little smile appear on my face.
as the song goes on, i see wonbin coming up to me. how did he know i'm there? i mean it was expected, but i didn't know he'd find me that easily in such big crowd. he stops infront of me and asks "would you like to dance with me?" with a big smile on his face. i accept and he takes my hand to bring me to a dance area.

i shyly wrap my hands around his neck while he confidently wraps his hands around my waist. the lights were red, the atmosphere felt non-existent around us as if i couldn't hear anyone else just the music. it felt like it was just him and me. we were dancing until the song was reaching it's end, he kept looking at me.

i suddenly broke our silence and asked, "do you need something?" "yes actually." he replies. i ask him what it is with confusion all over my face. "a kiss" he smiled at me.
i suddenly put an even bigger smile on my face and nodded. i held his face and it happened. i felt butterflies in my stomach, it was a wonderful experience.

i might have not said it, but i have to admit now that i have had a slight crush on him. nothing too serious, you know?

after we broke our kiss i see a bunch of people cheering for us, including his friends. did he plan this to happen? i suddenly felt myself tense up.
not knowing what to do i burried my face in his chest while hugging his waist. he laughed at my sudden action but caressed my back. "wanna go to a bit more private place?" he asks. i just nod as he grabs my hand and brings me to his bedroom.

he closes the door and sits me on his bed. "did you do this on purpose?" i ask. "maybe" he smiles at me while sitting down next to me.
"you know.. the second you told me you will come, i planned everything. i was so excited for you to come, i thought this could be my chance to confess" he adds. i smile widely while asking him "so you want me to be your girlfriend?" i ask him. he nods.

"well..." i could see sweat form on his forehead as i paused. "the answer is yes" i smile at him as he sighs in relief. "that means i can finally kiss you whenever i want!" he tells me in excitement and i giggle at him. he turns to me to kiss me again. i smile at him as we pull away.

"now what?" i ask while still smiling. "cuddles!!" he yells happily. "what about the party?" "sungchan will take care of it! don't worry."
he tells me while pulling me close to him. i wrap myself around him and kiss his cheek. i could see him blush but i just smile while laying my head on his chest.

as we continue cuddling and talking, i feel myself get tired. my eyes felt heavier and heavier by the time, so i finally gave up and slept.

the next morning, i woke up with him having his arms wrapped around me, i quickly put my hands around him and lay on his chest. i feel him moving around, wrapping his arms around me tighter.
i look up at him to see him smiling at me. i smile back at him and plant a kiss on his jawline, making his cheeks begin to redden. a few minutes later we're both fully woken up, sitting on the bed and talking.

"can i have a question?" he suddenly asks. i nod, curiously waiting what his question is. "how come i've never seen you look for a relationship?" i sigh at his question. "oh no, did i say something wrong?" he asks worried.
"no, it's okay, don't worry! i'll talk about it" i give him a reassuring smile as i switch my sitting position and start telling him why. "i have had relationships in the past, but none of them seemed to end out well. all of them ended on bad terms."
he looks at me with a saddened expression. "all they ever do is get in a relationship with me, date me for a bit, play me and leave me alone with nothing but a broken heart." i continue while looking down.

he pulls me into a tight hug. "love can burn like a cigarette, but i promise you i will never do that to you! a pretty girl like you doesn't deserve such treatment!" he tells me. i smile at his words as i also hug him tightly.

god, have i really found the perfect guy?
