Inconceivable

THIRTY-SIX

•JI-HAE•

When the young guy was finally out of my sight, I took my gaze back at my white shirt which has currently turned into a purplish one. And an inconvenient sigh left my mouth by it's own.

"Do you mind washing it at my house?"

Said the person, next to me. Rubbing the back of his neck and in addition, loosening the tie.

That made me properly look at him in disbelief like what? Why would I even go to his house?

"It's nothing, I can wash it at my house."- I hastily snapped back at him and focused on the road, with a view to going home.

This purple grape juice stain..It is really nothing, right? I can wash it off once I reach my house.. But I can't deny the fact that my house is now about 10 minutes away...

" Come to my house unless you want that stain to last forever in your 'white' uniform "- he spoke that from behind and I can clearly sense him chucking with a bit of teasingness.

"No, thanks."

He started to walk beside me, trying to keep the same pace with me.

"Ah, just imagine this little kitten attending school with her purple shirt!How cute! "- his voice carried tenderness, yet he tried to sound as captivating as he could.

I tried hard not to get bothered by his words, as I kept my legs working.

"It would be easier for me to recognize you even in the crowd of the school girls~"- he spoke.

Well, he isn't saying the wrong thing either...if it's too late, the stain won't come off nicely...

" So, Everyone would know there's a girl with purple shirt in the school, how  much fun it-"

His words got lost in their midway, as I stopped him by pressing my index finger on his lips, refraining him to split even a single shit.

Eyes widened, lips shut, he kept his eyes on me having a shocked reaction as if he wasn't really expecting me to do this.

Removing my finger, I spoke hesitatedly,being careful not look at his eyes,

"Um.. Let's go to your house.. "

As my declaration hung in the air, he processed the words emitted from my mouth. That only made him not leaving  observing my eyes as he spoke,

"You really..."- he paused for a bit before speaking again.

"okay let's go"- proclivity was sensed in his voice.

And then, I followed his lead, not emitting any word. While walking, I could see him  continuously chewing on his lower lip and nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Jeez what's he thinking?

" It's nothing, kitten."- he spoke probably hearing my inner thoughts,

How could I forget? My mind is no longer a private place anymore...

"Huh! Don't call me kitten!"- I snapped.

He just left a small chuckle in reply

And after only a minute, we were there, at his house.

He unlocked the door and I entered after him. The same house for the second time.

Both of us put our shoes on the shelves as he leaded me upstairs and I obviously did that, why not?...

" You can use my bathroom, there"- he points to the bathroom, after reaching his room.
