The Unexpected Fate

Chapter 13 - Under The Starry Starry Sky

So after dinner, I suddenly have the thought of walking around the outside of the lodge. So I headed outside after dinner and started walking around nearby of the lodge. I don't know how but I ended up walking towards the woods direction. With only the torchlight from my handphone, I entered into the forest and luckily it wasn't that dark yet so it wasn't so scary at all. As I walked deeper into the woods, I could hear all sorts of sounds coming from around me. The sound of nature, I would call it.

Then suddenly, I saw this lake up ahead of me and decided to walk towards it. As I was approaching the lake, I saw this familiar figure sitting by the lake. I know it wasn't Yoongi oppa as he was still cleaning up the dining table while I was walking out. And it couldn't be Jimin too as he went back to his room after our dinner. So there could only be one person which is Hoseok. I walked up and called out to Hoseok. "Is that you, Hoseok?"

Hoseok: "Shhh~ You are going to scare the stars away..."

Me: "Eh? Scare the stars away? Are there stars here?" I asked curiously.

Hoseok: "Come over here and sit beside me. I will show you where the stars are." Hoseok replied.

And so I sat down beside Hoseok.

Hoseok: "Look up, Yongmin~"

I immediately lifted my head and looked up. "WOW!!! Are my eyes playingwith me or something? This is so beautiful!!! Too beautiful to be true. How doyou even know there we could see stars here?" I exclaimed with excitement.

Hoseok: "I used to come here very often when I was young. And looking at the stars makes me feel calm and relaxed from all the stress that I had. And ever since I am older, I hardly come here anymore. So when I know that we are coming here, I definitely wouldn't want to miss this opportunity to watch the stars again. And so I'm here..." Hoseok said with a sense of satisfaction.

The stars were too beautiful and it makes me feel relaxed as well until the point that I actually fell asleep on Hoseok's shoulders without myself knowing. I think it was probably about 10 minutes later, I woke up and find myself lying on Hoseok's shoulder. With embarrassment, I quickly lifted my head up and apologised to Hoseok.

What happened next was something that I, myself could not even believe it. So when I was about to stand up to stretch myself from this awkward atmosphere, Hoseok suddenly pulled my hand down and I am sitting beside him again. And then he placed his lips over mine and kissed me! I was feeling so shocked that I could not even react on time. But why am I not rejecting his kiss...? Is it that I have fallen for Hoseok?! I thought to myself.

Hoseok: "I'm so sorry, Yongmin. I couldn't helped myself but to kiss you. And actually there is something that I want let you know too and that is...I like you, Yongmin...I don't know from when but the only thing I know is that I like you...Do you like me too?"

I went all silent as I don't what and how to reply Hoseok. I was in a total shock. It may sound exaggerating but the feeling was like being kissed by an idol or something and my heart is racing super fast. I cannot describe this feeling that I am feeling right now.

Me: "I...I...don't know, Hoseok...I don't dislike you or anything. But I am not sure if this feeling I am feeling right now is I like you as a friend or more than that." I replied softly.

Hoseok: "It's alright, Yongmin. I am so sorry that I scared you. Just ignore my question earlier. But I just want you to know that I like you even if you don't like me. At least I have told you about my feelings so whether you like me or not. It doesn't really matter." Hoseok smiled.Me: "No Hoseok...It's not that I don't like you. But I would need to sort out my own feelings first before I commit to anything." I don't know why but my heart hurts after hearing what Hoseok had said.
