DEAR DIARY, BYUL IS DELUSIONAL

lollipop

"Haerin" Moonbyul calls out seriously. He roomate hums in response before looking up from her laptop. "what is it, Byul?" the girl sits up with a loud huff which makes haerin chuckle. Moonbyul always expresses her emotions in some pretty comical way, especially frustration.

"i cannot anymore this year has went to shit without even beginning" Haerin raises her eyebrows. "why though?" Moonbyul laughs sardonically. "why? WHY? should i make a list?"

"please proceed" haerin said calmly, nodding slowly. Moonbyul sat cross legged on her bed and took a deep breath before beginning. "so, i am in a fake relationship with a guy that wants me dead, my friend might have feelings for me, scratch that he does, the teacher sat me with the wrong person, my roommate hates my guts, that's not new but still and the show is going to absolute shit"

Moonbyul blinked multiple times with her hands clasped in front of her. she lets go of a deep sigh and so does haerin.
"okay, fair" she nods. "god i wanna die" moonbyul flops on the bed.

"don't say that" haerin looks at her sympathetically. "about the show, you should totally try talking riki into acting right...calmly" she adds at the end and moonbyul rubs her forehead slowly. "you could go now, he's probably in his room" haerin suggests.

the girl huffs. "what do i have to lose at this point" moonbyul says flatly as she drags herself out of bed, shoulders slumped as she puts her shoes on, haerin wasn't sure se had ever seen her so defeated.

she shoves a lollipop in her mouth, her expression screaming annoyance as she heads out down the hallway. she stops in her tracks in front of riki's door, she could hear the sound of the electric guitar blasting through the wall and it somehow managed to annoy her further.

she knock on the door.
no answer.

she knocks again.
still no answer.

when she raises her hand to knock for the third time the door flung open, revealing riki standing there, his guitar hanging on his shoulder, his black hair messy, a subtle smirk on his plush lips. "to what do i owe the pleasure of this visit?"

he raises his eyebrows, his teasing tone seemed to push moonbyuls buttons. "can we talk?" riki huffs, anticipating what this might be about but moves out of the way nevertheless, letting her in.

"if it's about JJ i don't want to hear it" he announces before she could even begin to speak. moonbyul takes the lollipop out of her mouth  as she takes a seat on the edge of his bed.

"you can't keep acting like that, do you understand the responsibility is on me? i've been doing enough for you, if you really dont feel like behaving at least do it for me, return the favor" she says before shoving the candy back in her mouth.

a pang of embarrassment washes through riki.
maybe he was being a jackass.

he sighs and sits on the bed. "look i don't know what's your 'friend's' problem, instead of telling me to behave go tell him to get off my dick and everything will be solved" moonbyul glared at him and huffed out a sigh.

"i will talk to him too, he's not any better than you. but you owe me a favor" she reminds him.

moonbyul seemed pretty annoyed, and he feels the undeniable urge to annoy her further, he was going to listen to her, but he couldn't let this chance slip through his fingers.

"right you have a point" he acknowledged, taking the lollipop from moonbyul's mouth and placing it in his own. saying moonbyul's jaw dropped would be an understatement.

"by all the things you've done this is by far the most diabolic one" she scoffs incredulously and riki laughs in amusement. he smirks as he sucks on the lollipop, a deliberate tease.  "you don't seem too repulsed" he quips, his smirk growing wider as he leans on his bed, supporting himself up with one elbow. "indirect kiss" riki grins

moonbyul rolls her eyes. "if you wanna kiss me so bad just say so" she deadpans. Riki raises his eyebrows, looking surprised by her forwardness, but not thrown off. "oh really?"

the question makes moonbyul nervous, but she didn't like to step on her pride so she nodded confidently. "yes really" she mirrors his little teasing smile.

"what if i really wanted to kiss you?" he asked while sitting up, now much closer to her. his voice low and soft as his gaze trails up and down her figure, lingering on her soft glossy lips. he took the lollipop off his mouth, twirling it between his fingers, a hint of underlying attraction in the tension created by their proximity.

"who can blame you" she retorted. riki chuckled. "fair" he admits, putting the lollipop between his lips, his gaze locked intently on hers.

"i don't like it when you agree with me" she looks at him up and down.
"i like it when you act confident" he murmurs with a grin, his cocky demeanor pulling at moonbyul's strings.

she raises her eyebrows "act?"
riki huffs out a wry laugh. "yes dollface, act. you don't have the guts to" his fingers graze her cheek, tracing a gentle line down her jawline, tolting her face up to meet his gaze. a shiver runs down moonbyul's spine as she holds his gaze.

"yes i do" she protests
"oh yeah?" riki raises his eyebrows, a smile plastered on his face, the challenge in his tone unmistakable.
"yeah" she nods

"go ahead then byul, kiss me"
