Chapter 21 / Make up

My eyes widened at his words.

What had happened?!

"Tae I-"

He put a finger on my lips to quiet me down. His teary eyes pierced into mine, the intensity of his gaze made my knees weak.

"Let me explain."

I softly nodded and he retracted his finger. He shoved me in the middle of his room, seating me down on the large carpet.

I looked at him, waiting for his words.

His head hung low. "Listen, I really didn't want to- you know, stay away from you..."

His words weren't louder than a whisper, then he raised his head.

"But after what had happened on social media and then the interview and your blackout, I felt the need to leave you alone. I didn't want to, seriously, but it seemed like the only option to me. Yoongs was so worried about you when you were in the hospital, I just felt like I would get between you two, so I felt like a burden in two different ways."

Through his whole speech I stared at him, no slight sign of a reaction written on my face.

"I am truly sorry, I really am. When the hyungs told me you ran away yesterday, that kind of feeling disappreared. Then I suddenly felt like you needed me to calm you, just like when we found that message on the window. This doesn't make sense, I know. Just trust me in one thing: I am sorry and if you want, I won't ever stay away again like this."

He stared me down, desperatly waiting for my response. Though I could not speak. A big lump had settled in my throat, so I could just look at him as his eyes darkened in disappointment.

So I let my body speak.

I crashed my lips on his, I could feel how surprised he was, though after a second of shock he gave in.

With this kiss I felt more confident, I knew I had no idea how to do this, but I just let my feelings guide my body without thinking that many thoughts. Our lips molded together, it felt like they were made for each other.

My hands travelled up to tangle up in his red hair, his arms keeping me close to him.

I shifted to sit in his lap and wrapped my legs around his waist, leaving not a single inch distance between us.

His lips devoured mine, I had no idea a kiss could hold such strong emotions. It was like I was sitting on cloud 7 in middle of a thunderstorm. A small beautiful thing between so many bad experiences, thoughts and emotions.

Suddenly I was toren from my thoughts as something wet traced my mouth. I shivered a bit at my place. A french kiss?

His tounge slipped through my open lips, I could feel a weirdly warm feeling settle in my stomach as he explored my mouth. I had trouble not loosing my sanity.

Slowly he pulled back, his glare burned deep into my eyes as we both breathed a bit unsteadier than normal.

I took a moment to study his face. His pink lips were a bit swollen from the kiss, a small string of saliva still connecting us by our mouths. I quickly wiped it off. His cheeks were flushed in a cute shade of red while staring at me, I was just able to hold back a victorious smile since this time I wasn't the one that turned into a tomato head.

He raised one of his large hands and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear like he did when I told him I started to like him. It made my ears turn pink.

He then smiled at me. It was prbably the most genuine smile I've ever seen on his face. It was filled with so much joy, relief... and love.

Love.
