[VIXX] Jung Taekwoon/Leo || Painfully Beautiful (ongoing)

Part 9

Filling your stomachs to your heart's content, your started burping louder than a dragon roaring fire.

"Wow, you still got that in you" Taekwoon laughed.

"You know, sometimes I don't get you. You're all nice and all then the next second you're colder than the winds in Antarctica."

Taekwoon huffed. He took glances at you, and turns away if you catch him.

You decided to walk home and Taekwoon wanted to drop you off just in case you got into any danger. You insisted he goes home but he didn't listen and you had no choice but to let it be.

As you were walking, Taekwoon sees a stray cat. He started trying to get its attention by meowing and slowly leaning towards it.

The cat tried to walk away but Taekwoon kept trying to atleast pat him, and it just so happened that the cat decided to hiss and clawed on Taekwoon's arm.

"Argh, damn..." he shouted in pain.

"Oh shit! You're bleeding!" shocked, you looked at his arm and the scratch was so deep and made 3 claw marks on his skin.

Luckily, you remembered you have alcohol, tissue and a handkerchief in your bag.

You look around for a place to settle and found a bench.

"Let's get you healed up, come on." you told him as you walked by the bench.

You took out your alcohol and kept a handful amount of it in a piece of tissue.

Once you slowly patted it on Taekwoon's arm, he gave out a small cry.

"Does it sting?" you asked, worried.

He bit his lip and said, "no.."

"You're a terrible liar."

You then covered his arm with your hanky and knotted it slightly tight.

"Is it okay? Or too tight?" Should I loosen it?"

"No, thank you.." he shyly turned away.

You stood up and wiped your skirt clean.

"Shall we head home?"

He stood up and walked, ignoring you.

"Why do I even bother asking?" you facepalmed yourself and ran behind him.

You lived in an apartment by the 7th floor. As you entered the lobby, you took one last look at Taekwoon and waved him goodbye.

Entering the elevator, you clicked the button "7" and once the door was closing, someone's hand stopped it. As the doors opened, you realised it was your neighbor, Ken.

"Oh? ___? Hello!" He smiled.

You smiled and said hello. You looked at his outfit and it seems he's wearing something that a nerdy student would wear with glasses on, a backpack so big and a laptop by his arm.

"Seems like you're doing well on your studies?" you asked.

"Well, not really but I try." he laughed.

"What about you? How's school?"

"It's okay, I guess."

"Ah.."

There was an awkward silence between you two. As you reached the 7th floor, he gestured to let you go first. You thanked him and walked straight to your door.

You threw your bag at the side of the bed and lied down and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

You then receive a text message from an anonymous number.

"Eh?" you mumbled as you read the message.

It said, "Look out your window."

Curious, you walked by the window, pushed away the curtain and your eyes widened.

"Are you serious?!"

Taekwoon was staring at you by his apartment window just beside your building.

He looked at you coldly and gave an evil smirk.

"Wait, so we live across each other now?!"
