The boy I must forget

Suprise guest

A month as passed since the first tutoring lessons with Heeseung and it couldn't be more perfect. My relationship with Jacob has grown too but I still only see him as a friend. However, my feelings for Heeseung haven't changed, I still hope dearly that he remembers me from his childhood and my heart doesn't stop beating fast when I'm close to him. As I'm correcting some of his work, my phone starts to ring beside his notebook. I picked it up to see that he is calling me. I smiled while staring at the name I gave him and clicked on the answer button.

"Hello?" I answer. "Hi, I was wondering if I could pass by your house,  I would like to see my work before heading to practice." He told me. I panicked and looked at the notebook in front of me with unfinished grading. I answered him yes and closed the call to hurry my work. I finished grading his work within 10 minutes and had time to relax in my chair before someone knocked on my door. I stood up fast and walked to the front door to answer it. When I opened it, he was standing in front of me looking at something in the hallway. Curious, I looked at the same direction he was and saw a cat walking door to door. "Is he yours?" He asked suddenly.

I shook my head and told him to come inside my apartment. As he entered, I stepped into the hallway and took the cat on my arms. I knew who he belonged to and knocked on the door next to mine. My neighbour answered the door and saw her cat in my arms. "Ohhhhh, Mister Frost, what are you doing outside? Come here. Thank you dear Y/n." She said and closed the door while caressing Mister Frost. I smiled at the door before turning around to go inside my apartment when I saw Heeseung staring at me from the doorframe. We stayed standing in front of the open door for a some time, looking at each other while he smiled at me, but he turned around suddenly and asked me where was his paper.

I returned to my senses and walked back inside my home to go take his graded paper. I handed it to him while he sat down in front of me. I was admiring him while he checked his paper, sometimes frowning and other times having a little smile on his face. When he finished looking at it, he asked me to explain some questions he got wrong. I stood up from my chair and walked around the table to place myself behind him and explain. He nodded every time I told him what he had done wrong and took little notes on the side of the paper. I was in the middle of explaining am error that I thought was dumb when he suddenly turned his head around and made us touch noses. We stayed in this position, staring at each other in the eyes, being close enough to kiss if one of us moved. I was enjoying this moment a little to much and tried to not react in any way when suddenly the doorbell rang and made us both jump a little from the scare.

As we reacted to the doorbell, we both moved forward and our lips touched. This made us stop what we were doing once more. We were looking at each other, my lips on his, I didn't want this moment we were having to end, but I knew that this was wrong for me, I was supposed to forget him. The doorbell rang again and this time, we moved away from each other and I turned around to hide my red face from him. I rubbed my face with my hands and walked to the front door. I took a deep breath and opened the door, not knowing who was waiting for me on the other side.

"Hiiii! How are you sweetheart? It's been so long, give your momma a hug!" My mom screamed in my ears before I could even open the door completely. As she hugged me, my heart dropped from my torso to my toes. She was there, hugging me and he was here, in my dinning room. We had just kissed on top of that! I panicked and tired to play it cool, maybe she doesn't even remember him, maybe she doesn't know what he looks like now. I smiled at her like I always do and she smiled back at me and gave me some plastic bags full of food. "Put them in your refrigerator, I know you don't go grocery shopping a lot so I did it for you." She said and walked past me.

I closed the door and followed her to the kitchen. I placed all the things that she bought me in my refrigerator and turned around to see her staring at Heeseung who was sitting where he was earlier, looking at his paper. I saw my mother turned around slowly to face me with an angry face. She came closer to me and whispered-yelled in my ears. "What he doing here? I thought I told you to forget him? How could you do this?" She said loudly in my ears. I looked at her, trying to find something to say in my defence. My mother stared at me, waiting for an answer, but Heeseung appeared in the kitchen before I could even open my mouth.

"Hi ma'am, I'm Lee Heeseung, nice to meet you. Your daughter is my tutor, I was just passing by to see how I did on a test. I'm leaving now." He told my mom smiling. He put on his shoes and left my apartment slowly while my mother and I were watching his every move. When he wasn't in my home anymore, my mother turned to me and grabbed me by the arm firmly. "You see, he doesn't even remember me and I didn't even change since he was 10 years old! I told you to forget him, he doesn't remember you so you shouldn't remember him either!" She screamed at me, angry. I stared at her while she took a deep breath and calmed down before walking to my dining table and sitting on the chair he was sitting earlier. "Make us something to eat." She simply told me, placed her elbows on the table and placed her hands in her face.
