Eyes That Cannot Lie | Winrina

What If I Told You I'm Falling In Love?

| Winter |

The sound of birds chirping filled my ears as I forced my sore eyes open. I looked at the familiar ceiling, the sun slightly peeking through my curtains that gave some light in my room.

My room?

I immediately sat up, looking around my own bedroom. How did I even end up here?

I couldn't remember a single detail that had happened after I was crying in Rina's arms for who knows how long. The only thing that was bothering me was my terrible headache that I gained from crying so much.

I tried to rub my forehead to ease the headache, closing my eyes in slight frustration. Where had Rina went? I thought to myself.

I finally found my headache quite bearable, opening my half awake eyes open once again. My hand that held my forehead trailed to push off my covers off my body, scotching to the edge of my bed before yelping in surprise after seeing something at the corner of my eye, "Rina?" I gasped silently to see Rina sitting up against the bed, her eyes stayed perfectly shut though her brows were slightly knitted close together.

She breathed in softly, her beautiful eyes jutting open tiredly. Well shit, I didn't mean to wake her up.

"Jeo, you're up?" Rina spoke raspy, still seeming like she was tired. But something about her raspy voice made some type of weird butterflies enter inside of my stomach. But that wasn't my main focus at the moment.

"Mhm." I answered, sliding down on the floor next to Rina, silently observing her before she inched closer to give me a sudden hug. "I missed you even in my sleep." Karina groaned tiredly, her face nuzzling in my neck.

I don't know how she did it but something about her warmth made me not want to let go.

I ignored her words, wondering just why she was still in my apartment. Not that I mind but she must've been uncomfortable sleeping against the bed. "Why did you stay?" I asked curiously, hesitantly trying to wrap my arms around her so it would be a bit more comfortable.

But what if she wasn't comfortable?

I bit my lip gently before scooting my arms to my side, feeling a twinge of regret in my stomach.

A groan vibrated on my neck, "I couldn't just leave you alone when you're feeling scared, I'll stay with you." I heard her mutter but I couldn't help but feel myself panicking. Why the hell was I panicking?

"My friend should be home by now." I assured her, knowing that ningning had only been going to a friend's house for a bit.

"Good for her."

"Will you go home now?"

"Do you want me to?"

That question made me think. To be honest, no. I quite enjoyed Rina's company. I've never had a friend over at my house, it's just been me and ningning living together but sometimes she would leave for work or hang out with her other friends.

I hesitated as she pulled away slightly, her pretty eyes staring into mine, I expected she was waiting for an answer. But it was hard to answer when she stared at me like that. Her eyes exchanged between mine before lowering them down.—
"I don't want you to go." I replied so suddenly, even I was surprised myself.

I hadn't been prepared, I wasn't quite the best person to hang out with or have fun with. I was quite a boring person if I'm still developing to a person.

I saw Rina smile, a gorgeous smile formed on her lips. Her lips looked so tempting.. Her pink lips looked so soft and pretty.

"Jeo?" Rina spoke, "did you hear what I said?"

"Huh?"

"I said would you like to watch a movie?" She asked, maybe she repeated it for the second time but this is the first time I'm hearing it. God, why did her lips have to be so distracting to me?

Normally I would never feel this way. I haven't felt like this at all in my entire living experience so why was it now all changing?

"Okay.." I responded but I'm not sure if I even replied correctly. I was too busy staring at Rina's eyes. Which is weird, I know.
But I just can't look away from her and I can't figure out why.

The warm smile on Rina's lips made me doze until she stood up and took my hand, pulling me up to my feet before running out my bedroom, dragging me with.

"Jack! No!" Winter reached out at her living room tv, seeing Jack drowning in the titanic.
Karina just looked at Winter with a small smile, her eyes completely on Winter. It's not like the movie was interesting. She had seen the titanic maybe a thousand times but it's Winter's first time so she just observed her silently.

"Jack.." winter cried out dramatically, grasping her hands over her face, sobbing into them from the heartfelt movie.

Karina was alarmed once she saw Winter cover her face, "are you crying?" She asked with pure concern in her tone, holding on Winter's arm gently.

"Why did Jack have to die?" Winter asked with a shaky tone, hitting on her living room couch. Karina let out a small sigh in relief but then chuckled.

"Geeze, you're crying more than rose." Karina chuckled, earning a punch on the shoulder from Winter.

"Ouch—"

"Quit messing around! Jack's death is important!" Winter sulked, her teary eyes revealing to Karina. That's when she felt that weird feeling once again, seeing her slightly puffy eyes and her stained cheeks of tears.

Karina stayed silent, swallowing dryly as she leaned in closer to Winter on the couch they were sitting on.

"Jeo.." Karina spoke softly, her eyes never breaking eye contact. "You're so perfect." Karina whispered, only an inch away from Winter's lips.

In panic, winter's eyes widened, "R-Rina?" Winter spoke as Karina only leaned in closer, immediately shut her eyes, preparing herself for a kiss she thought would happen.

"Win!" A loud voice hollered behind them, making the two on the couch bump their heads together in surprise.

Winter quickly turned behind the couch in frustration, making eye contact with her best friend ningning who seemed to realize what she had just done. But her mouth was hung open from what she had just seen.

"You-" ningning pointed at Winter and then Karina in surprise. Karina just sat there, rubbing her forehead, looking at ningning with slightly furrowed eyebrows. Ningning hadn't ever seen Karina but she sure as hell heard of her. "And you?" Ningning gasped.

"It's not what you think, dummy!" Winter said before Ningning got the wrong idea, taking a hold of a pillow and throwing it at her best friend angrily.

Though she wasn't quite sure why she was mad, should she be grateful that ningning butted in before something had happened? Was Karina really going to kiss her?

Would she have let Karina kiss her if ningning didn't interrupt?

And why the hell was her heart beating so quickly?
