If U Hate Me I'll Love U | Jeongcheol

39. Last forfeited kiss happened

My words made everyone speechless. A boy in his early years thinks that life is worthless? Even Seungcheol widened his eyes at me but I didn't bother explaining what I really meant by that.
"It's the same as what you said. She's in my age, studying law and psychology and" I made a small heart with my fingers and placed it on my left side "One thing doesn't mean we would get along. I never believed that psychology is something we should trust but I do take advices from it"

At this time, Miyeong excused herself and went to the bathroom. Seungcheol knew the purpose of her leaving, he knew that long ago, he was right in what he told the younger before and today he made sure that it's true.

I stopped talking when she stood up and went "Nevermind, because of that I avoided meeting my parents or getting back home"

By this thought, Seungcheol's parents remembered when their son got home late, slept with a lost appetite and changed his mood hundred times in a conversation. The two looked at each other then faced Jeonghan again "Tell us why you don't want to get married"

"As for me I know I wouldn't get along with my cousin whatever we did as though we were besties when we were kids. Secondly, we live in very different cities. On top of that both have problems with their parents"

At the last sentence Seungcheol grasped on my arm as if asking why am I saying this. I patted his hand and continued "If we aren't satisfied then we ourselves would make the problem to each other. If I have a breakdown and she has mental health problems then how are the kids going to turn out? We never know what's inside someone's body" I smiled at them and said the thing I most wanted parents to hear and know "Make sure to know your kids well before taking a step on behalf of them" Before finishing I bowed and thanked them for paying attention to what I had to say.

I realized sparkles forming in Seungcheol's mother's eyes as she stood up and walked to the kitchen then her sister followed her too. Only we males are in the room. I put my hand on Seungcheol's and comforted him to not worry and whispered some jokes to make him relieved.

After some good time of silence, the men stood up "It's late now. Sleep well to be prepared for leaving tomorrow" They said in unison and walked upstairs to their rooms. Seungcheol's parents took his older cousin's room because he lives with his own family as me and him are sleeping in the living room.

We stayed in our places for a while then walked to the kitchen to check on the women. They were talking, discussing what we said earlier more cautiously. Seungcheol stood beside me in front of the entrance as we listened to the two with little smiles on our faces.

"Oh sorry!" Seungcheol's auntie apologize when she found out we're standing behind them "We're here scribbling and forgot that you guys are tired and need to sleep, haha" They let go of the dishes and washed their hands then hurried upstairs after biding us goodnight. I felt that there's something wrong with their behavior at the moment as I got absentminded while looking at where they were standing.

Seungcheol's voice brought me back to reality as he was calling for me to come and sleep. He spread the mattresses and covers and was ready to sleep. I turned off the lights on my way before walking to my bedding and laying down.

While I was wondering, Seungcheol stayed still in his position beside me while looking at his hands wiggling as I hummed asking what's wrong.

I was planning on sitting up but his question prevented me from even moving. Seungcheol turned to me and asked again "Can I kiss you now?" His voice was calm and tender. My eyes held the contact with him until I shivered unintentionally and looked to the side. My chest ached for a bit due to the strong and quick beating of my heart, I placed my hand on it under the cover but Seungcheol quickly traveled his right hand and put it over mine "I'm just thinking romantically of you at the moment, can I try it?"

His sentence made me burn in embarrassment as I gulped and gazed at him. If I agree nothing bad would happen and if I don't, also nothing will happen. But without waiting for my response he leaned in to me. My feelings and body stressed out so I stopped him by putting my hand on his mouth "Wait" He was calm and listened to what I did, "Wait, umm.. I.... I don't want you to regret thereafter-"

"I won't regret, it's my favor"

"But our doi-"

"It's fine we're the same. I wouldn't mind until you do" I couldn't think of any other excuse and let things be. He came closer and kissed me gently as he reclined on his arm beside my head while playing with my hair. The touch of his lips are fluffy and fragile to the skin. I kept my eyes closed hardly waiting for him to pull away as I unintentionally pushed him a little bit by placing my hand on his shoulder. The boy stopped for a second then gave me a last kiss before parting away.

His hand brushed against my forehead for me to open my eyes. Slowly, I did as wanted and quickly closed them again when I saw him too close to my face. He let go of my left hand and stroked my cheek lightly "Sorry if you felt uncomfortable"

I opened my eyes again and shook my head "I was just surprised because your face is too close"

"Like this" He leaned in jokingly and started teasing "Are you blushing" Some giggles were let out of him as I pinched his cheek ruthlessly and kicked his hand away of my face with knitted eyebrows.

"Cute" Seungcheol laughed before placing a kiss on my forehead "Thank you for helping me today, Jeonghan"

I only hummed and pushed him from over me before turning around to the other side. He rarely called my name which made my heart beat again now.

Seungcheol laid down on his mattress closer to me and pulled the cover on himself "Have a goodnight"

All of a sudden a door opened and someone walked up. Me and Seungcheol looked to where the sound came from and glimpsed a person with long black hair and hoodie, it was Miyeong, she got out of the bathroom sniffling.

I tried to process what's happening then looked back with widened eyes at Seungcheol who was confused.

"Damn" He muttered.

"Fuck you" I uttered back and froze at my thoughts. She's been in there since she left when I started speaking with the parents? That means she heard what I said... "We're doomed" I blurted out while thinking about what happened some minutes ago and covered my face with my hands in frustration while groaning "Oh my god Seungcheol.."

"She won't say anything trust me" He seemed too confident and laughed lowly. The least I can do is to glare at him. He massaged my temples and flirted "You're unattractive when you get mad"

"Stop with your jokes, it was just a 'try it' session. We're nothing" I slapped his hand "Also how could you be so sure she wouldn't?" My tone was sarcastic.

"I know her too well. She just puts others before herself"

I sighed deeply unsecure and closed my eyes to go to sleep and forget about the newly made matter for some time.
