Always You | Lee Heeseung

#12

Upon arriving at her apartment, she and Heeseung removed their shoes and walked inside.

Heeseung looked around at the apartment, admiring how well-kept it looked.

"So um, your place looks nice." He complimented nervously.

Sighing and rolling her eyes, Yunju made her way to the kitchen, setting her bag down. Heeseung following close after her doing the same.

"Let's just get this over with ok? Here cut this." She commanded handing him carrots and a cutting board.

Heeseung did nothing but nod and grab and knife nearby and began cutting as Yunju washed the other ingredients they needed.

The two worked in silence for quite some time. Heeseung occasionally glanced over at her, noticing the slight scowl on her face as he continued to cut.

As he kept cutting, he felt a sharp pain coming from his finger. Wincing and looking down, he noticed blood rushing from the sizable cut on his finger.

"Shit!" He exclaimed, immediately dropping the knife.

Startled Yunju turned around slightly surprised.

"I'll get my first aid kit, you stand over the sink and try not to get blood on my floor." She ordered.

"Nice to see you care so much." He deadpanned.

When Yunju came back she had him sit down while she treated the cut on his finger.

She grabbed a cotton ball and put some alcohol on it, wiping away the blood, Causing him to wince in pain.

"Well, that's what you get for looking at me instead of paying attention." She stated.

"Did I really cause your fear of crowds?" He asked after watching her for a bit.

She did nothing but slowly nod, refraining from making eye contact.

This behavior was new to Heeseung. Knowing that Yunju rarely gets quiet and avoids eye contact like this.

"Yeah, but it's gotten more manageable over the years." She sighed, as she reached for a band-aid for him.

"Is that why you hate me and why we stopped hanging out when we were younger?" He asked, the girl slowly nodding again. "I'm sorry, I never should have let go of your hand." He told her.

"It's... fine, honestly it's kinda nice to hear you apologize after all this time. I think that's the first time you've ever apologized to me." She slightly smiled.

"Then," he began, grabbing her hand with his free one, "Is it alright if we start over?" He nervously asked.

"And be friends again?"

"If you're okay with that."

"I don't know, I kinda liked hating you." She joked.

"We can still act like use just you know, nicer." He explained, laughing a little as Yunju nodded.

"Alright," she began, standing from her seat, "Let's get back to it."

+++++++

After clearing everything, the two finished their cooking and decided to relax on the couch for a bit.

The TV played loudly accompanied by the sounds of laughter in the apartment.

They continued until Yunju heard a knock at the door.

Heeseung sat up and asked, "Who's that?"

"Minhee, I told her to come over later so we could hang out." She replied.

"It's been like two hours and you're replacing me already." He said, shaking his head disappointedly.

Yunju just rolled her and laughed, making her way over to the door to let her friend in.

As soon as she opened the door, Minhee barged in, surprised to see Heeseung already inside and sitting on the couch.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, shocked.

"We were testing out the next recipe for the next club meet," Yunju responded to the girl's question.

"But now, he's going to leave 'cause we're gonna hang out," Yunju said, walking over to Heeseung and forcing him up.

"And now she's throwing me out on the street." He faked a gasp, placing his hand on his heart.

"Stop being so dramatic." she laughed, rolling her eyes.

"Well, you two seem... different." Minhee pointed out.

"Yea we're friends now, great ri-," he began, but suddenly tried over his bag.

Turning quickly, he reached for the closest thing around, which happened to Yunju, causing her to fall as well.

Heeseung's body collided with the ground and Yunju's following, landing directly on him. Both their eyes closed tightly.

When the two opened their eyes, they felt that their lips were pressed together.

After the realization set in, the two quickly separated from each other.

"No way that just happened!" Minhee exclaimed, causing Yunju to cover her mouth with her hand.

After another minute or so, Heeseung stood up, grabbed his things, and left.
