Saranghaeyo, Noona!

Chapter 12

"You're so cute noona! Do you even realize that we shared an indirect kiss thru that ice cream?" He said smiling

My eyes rounded. I stared at him wide eyed and slack jawed. What was I thinking again a while ago? That he might not notice it anyway coz it's nothing for him? Ahhh!!!! Eotteokhae??? I don't know what to do with you anymore, Mark Tuan!!!

"Jashik! And whose fault is that? You're not supposed to say something like that, you know!" I chose to pretend like it's nothing so that he'll not notice my flushed face. But deep inside... I want to scream... O-M-G!!!  That was indeed an indirect kiss! He knows... But why still do it?

I glanced at him, he just keeps on grinning while biting on his lower lip.

"Yah! Stop it!" I said pouting

"What?" He asked innocently but still grinning

"Hmp!" I just looked at the other side, away from him

"Hey! I'm just kidding." He said poking my arm. I still didn't move.

"Noona~"

"Your aegyo won't work this time, Mister!" I said still not looking at him

"Sam, I'm sorry! Okay? I'm just teasing you. Hmm? Hmm?" He said squeezing towards me, trying to catch my eyes. But I still didn't look at him.

Then suddenly he just kept quiet. I stole a glance towards him and I saw that he's now serious. Biting his lips, hands clasp together.

I secretly smiled to myself. Aigoo! He's so cute! Actually, I'm just acting. Of course I'm not mad at him. I just want to see what will his reaction be if I really got mad. He looks really bothered. Hahaha! So I decided to stop the act already. But then... I thought of doing something first...

Since he's sitting so close to me, without a word, I hooked my arm with his and leaned my head on his shoulder. He flinched. I rubbed his arm gently. I felt his arm muscles tensed up.

"Mark~" I used my sweetest tone of voice.

"H-huh? W-what is it?" He stammered.

"Since you said we had an indirect kiss.... I have a confession to make." I said softly. Then I detach my arm from him and look straight into his eyes.

He licked his lips. His eyes rounded. His body tensed.

I put my right hand at the back of his head and pull his face towards mine. When our faces are only a few inches apart, I turned my face to his ear and whispered...

"It's just a joke! I'm also just kidding. I'm not really mad at you. So you can relax now." I whispered to him. Then I moved back to my seat and laughed hard.

He didn't move at all. He just stared at me. As if he's frozen.

Then the driver said that we're already in front of our hotel.

"Oh! We're here already. Bye, Mark! I had a good time. Thank you!" I smiled and pat him on his shoulder.

"Ahjussi, kamsahamnida!" I thanked the driver too before going out of the van.

[MARK'S POV]
Sam was already gone when I remembered that I'm actually holding my breath.  I exhaled deeply and leaned back to my seat. Letting my body relax.
