scoups; him as your blind best friend

Chapter 5

You woke up, feeling completely tired physically and mentally. Your mom picked Seungcheol and you up last night, driving both of you home. You haven't talked the whole way home, just stared out of the window. Your mom asked you multiple times if everything is okay, you just nodded.
You got out of bed, looking at your phone. Several text messages from Joshua and Seungkwan, asking, if everyone is okay. You just texted 'everything is fine, excited for tonight' and put your phone away.
You stepped out your room, into the living room. Your mom placed something to eat on the couch table, with a little note on it.
I hope everything is okay between the two of you. Have fun tonight, love you!
You tear up. A hug from your mom is definitely something you needed right now. Her not being her is the worst. Sitting on the couch, you started eating and thinking about what to do.

Your best friend, the person you love the most, after your mom, just confessed to you, that he likes another girl. And you were about to take his hand last night. How embarrassing would that have been?
How is the party going on tonight? Is he confessing to her, since you tried to cheer him up last night? Are they going to dance together and later they will kiss?
The thought about them kissing makes you wanna throw up. That's the worst scenario probably to happen. There is only one person you can ask for an advice in this situation, and she is somewhere in japan for work.
Thanks universe.

You decided to do some yoga, to clear up your body and thoughts. After a while, the doorbell rings. You got up, heading to the front door and opened it.
Seungcheol were standing right in front of you.
"Cheol..." You were confused. What is he doing here?
"Hey, y/n. Can I come in?"
You hesistated.
"Yeah, come in."
He came in, taking off his shoes. "You want something to drink?"
He shook his head. "No, Thanks. Is your mom already gone?"
"Yeah she left early in the morning. Why are you here?"
The two of you were going into the living room. You turned out the TV.
"I wanted to talk to you about last night."
"You could have called. You didn't had to come all the way here."
"It's okay, I was taking a walk and thought, why not coming here."
"Mhm, okay." You sat down on the couch. "What do you wanna talk about?"
He made his way to the couch, sitting next to you. "Are you okay? I felt so bad to make you cry that much."

You nodded. "Yeah, I guess. I was just so emotional because of the alcohol."
"You sure?" He tried to find your eyes. You looked at him. You were only a few centimeters away from him. You could smell his perfume and feel his warm body, even though you weren't touching him.
"I am. You think something else?"
"I don't know. I have the feeling something is different now between us."
He was right. Your heart is broken and you don't know how to act around him. But what are you supposed to do? The four of you were friends for years. Breaking up the relationship now would destroy everything. And you don't want to loose him like that.

"Listen, Seungcheol-"
"You never call me Seungcheol. Always Cheol."
You swallowed. "Cheol. Maybe I act a bit different because I've never thought you would confess your feelings about some girl to me in such a random situation. I thought we were friends and you would tell me right away. But our relationship... hasn't changed."
He nodded. "I'm sorry I didn't told you sooner."
"It's okay."
"You wanna watch a movie then and forget what happened?"
You smiled slightly. "I would love to watch a movie. Which one?"
"Let's watch Harry Pot-"
You didn't let him finish his sentence. "You had me with H."
He smiled. "I know my girl."

You turned on Harry Potter on the tv and got some snacks from the kitchen. When you came back, Seungcheol was already lying on his back, his eyes closed. That was his favorite position while watching a movie. He could concentrate more then. You put the snacks and drinks on the couch table, sitting next to him on the other couch.
"There a snacks and drinks on the table if you want."
"Thank you, y/n."
You leaned back and watched the movie.

My girl.
His girl.
You were his girl.
Which was bulls*it, cause you knew you weren't. Min Jae was, the girl who had his heart. How lucky she is to be number one in Seungcheols heart.
You looked over to him. He lays there peacefully, breathing slowly, looking extremely beautiful without doing anything. You wished, you hoped to call him yours. But the universe had other plans.

After the movie was done, Seungcheol and you went to his house. You brought the dress, shoes and make up with you. You were getting ready in the bathroom, when Mrs. Choi came in.
"Wow, y/n. You look absolutely gorgeous."
You smiled at her. "Thank you, Mrs. Choi."
"I wish Seungcheol could see you, really see you right now. I bet he couldn't take his eyes off you."
You turned red. "Is he ready yet?"
"Yes, he is waiting for you downstairs. Don't hurry, you've got enough time. Do you need some help with your hair?"
You nodded. "That would be nice."
Mrs. Choi helped you doing your hair. You put it up, so your back was better shown. You didn't really wear makeup, just some waterproof mascara since you had the feeling, you could shed some tears tonight. And not out of joy.

After you were done, you looked at yourself in the mirror.
"Wow." You said at your.
"Gorgeous, right?" Mrs. Choi smiled at you.
You nodded. "Yeah.. I didn't thought I could look like that."
She took your hand. "Let's go downstairs."
You went downstairs into the living room, where Mr. Choi and Seungcheol were waiting for you. Mr. Choi smiled brightly once he saw you.
"Wow y/n. You look.. wow."
You laughed. "Thank you, Mr. Choi."
Seungcheol turned around to you. You looked at him. He looked handsome. Handsome as hell. His all black suit, with his black hair suited him so well. The cherry red tie was a nice contrast.
"You look amazing, Cheol."
He smiled. "Thank you. I bet you do too."
You smiled too.
"I have something for you two." His mom said, handing you a cherry red rose wristband. "This is for you, y/n."
She got to her son, putting a cherry red rose on his chest bag. "And this is for you, my son. Red roses to symbolize, that you're there together."

She patted his head. You could see, that his cheeks turned red, just like yours.
"C'mon kids, let's take some pictures of the two of you, before Joshua and Seungkwan are picking you up!"
Mr. Choi got his phone, telling you two to stand next to each other. You got close to Seungcheol, he was wrapping his arm around your waist. You got goosebumps all over your body, once he touched you. You were suddenly feeling hot.
"And smile!"
You tried to focus on the camera, but his touch was literally burning into your skin. You smiled for some pictures.
After some photos, you decided to look up at Seungcheol. He smiled. Really smiled into the camera. He was not a fan of taking photos, especially when he isn't wearing his sunglasses, which he doesn't right now. You were surprised to see him like that.
"What a beautiful photo! The two of you look so in love!" His dad said, showing the pictures to his wife.

You cleared your throat, stepping a step back from Seungcheol. His smile automatically faded away.
"You two really look like a couple! You should think about dating each other."
"Mom." Seungcheol said, clenching his jaw.
"Okay, okay. One more okay? Please stand next to each other again."
Seungcheol sighed. "Don't we have enough?"
"No, c'mon, my love!"
He sighed again. You got close to him again, he wrapped his arms around your waist again. His dad took some more photos.
"They have more photos of us now, then I have about myself." You murmured.
"What?" He whispered, turning his face to you.
You looked up at him, not realizing, how close his face got to yours.
And before you could turn back again, your lips have touched.
