Holding On to You ||| Hwang Hyunjin

Ch. 26

⋆.˚ HYUNJIN POV ⋆.˚

Damn you Lee Nari.

You drive me so fucking crazy.

It's been literally one fucking week since our kiss, and I'm just trying to hold myself back from doing something more to her.

I was currently at a restaurant with Minho since he wanted to take me to a 'man date'.

"You okay?", he suddenly asked, interrupting my unholy thoughts which made me turn to him as I nodded in response.

Minho raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "You sure? You look like you're a million miles away."

I took a sip of my drink, trying to gather my thoughts. "Just... thinking about stuff."

"Stuff, huh?" He leaned back, studying me. "You seem off today. Everything okay?"

I hesitated, debating whether to share. "Yeah, just... personal stuff."

Minho shrugged, still unconvinced. "If you need to talk, I'm here."

"Thanks, but it's complicated," I said, pushing the thoughts of Nari away for the moment.

We continued eating, but my mind drifted back to that kiss. The way her lips felt against mine, the way everything had changed in an instant. I couldn't shake the feeling of wanting more.

"Seriously, you can tell me anything," Minho said, breaking my thoughts again.

"Let's just enjoy this 'man date,'" I replied with a half-smile, trying to deflect.

He just smiled in return and we went back to eating, as i finally pushed those thoughts of her away.

As soon as we finished our dinner, I pulled Minho with me to the art gallery that opened a few weeks ago.

"Ugh, I still don't understand why we have to come here, Hwang.", Minho whined as I kept taking pictures of the paintings hung and admiring them.

"Well, since you wanted to take me to a fancy dinner, I decided I'd take you here, you know you should be grateful for that." , I replied, and he turned to me with one eyebrow raised.

"And why is that?", he asked.

"That is because lots of people would die to go to an art gallery with the Hwang Hyunjin", I stated confidently.

"Well I don't.", he replied scoffing.

"Oh well, then you just have to deal with it."

"I don't understand, why don't you take your girlfriend instead of me? I'm sure she'd love it here"

I didn't even think twice about it when he said girlfriend, cause I know exactly who he's talking about.

"She's busy."

I don't even know if she actually is, but I just said that so he can shut up.

"Ughhh", Minho groaned and just followed me around like a puppy following its owner.

I was chilling in bed and watching movies with Yeji today since we both were tired to go anywhere today.

We are watching To All the Boys I've loved Before.
