Cherry Blossomed in Love

Chapter Eight

"I didn't know I fell asleep... I guess, I find it comfortable in your place."

"T-Third..." My mind has a lot of things to say pero I don't think my mouth can tell it.

He fixed his posture and after he was done, he put his hand inside the hospital gown's pocket and faced me. He showed a small smile, making my knees turn into jelly if only my hand was not leaning onto the wall.

He pouted for a moment and gave me puppy eyes which made my eyes grow wide in shock with his actions and due to the hotness that rushed down, I looked away.

"B-Bakit? Do you need something?" I stuttered.

I heard him chuckled before walking towards me. Not that I don't want him near but his strong aura is hypnotizing me that I want to make me pull away with it before I could totally lose it.

He continued walking and walking until I felt the cold wall behind my back. He then lowered his face and stared into my eyes. Jesus Christ! I can't even count the gulping I did to wet my throat anymore. As if my body was conducted by the cold behind my back, my hands began decreasing its temperature as well.

He leaned his face closer enough that I could feel his hot breath and gosh, the saints would have their ears bled because of how many times I called them for help.

When the tip of our noses touched, I squeaked and close my eyes tight.

"Cute..." I heard him said as I slowly felt the pressure getting away from me and when I looked at him, he's now an arm far away.

"Nagugutom ako," he poutingly said. I couldn't find any strength to respond. I was just looking straight at him, holding my chest, feeling how fast my heart beats that I could almost feel its coming out.

The smell of him lingers to my nose and my body began craving for his heat... This is hella not good. Gosh, Sakura, you're down so bad! Very very very bad!

"U-Uhm..." I coughed a few times. My throat feels so dry that it's so hard to speak. Even my lips...

Before I could fantasize anything, I slapped myself hard. Hard enough that it created a loud 'pak!' sound and I saw the shockness in Third's eyes like he was in a pure disbelief of what he had just saw.

I could feel the itchy pain I caused to my cheek and I feel like it became red when I noticed that he is staring at my face.

Before I could lose my sanity, I turned my back on him to avoid his gaze and responded,"May gusto ka bang kainin? I bought this cheesecake on the vending machine if you like."

Even if my it's my back that was facing him, I can still feel his eyes on me. It's so strong... It's like it wants me to meet them but I pinched myself hard to prevent me from doing so.

"Sure. That sounds nice. Gusto mong umorder din tayo ng tteokbokki?" After he mentioned one of my favorite food, I faced him. He became flustered and started laughing. I don't know why but I laughed as well with him because I know I looked silly when I turned around on him.

And while we both share our laughters... I started to overthink things...

What if you like me as well... But I never make it?
