20 (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

34 : Aren't you scared of me?

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

At the store, Jeonghan looked really cool. He wore a formal white polo that suited him perfectly. And a pair of black slacks and black leather shoes. It was the store's uniform but it made him look really elegant. The store being a contemporary record store that sells records from the 60s up to the 90s.

The store catered to the music wants of elder people so customers were usually of the older generations. Seunghee watched how Jeonghan attended to the customers. He was so sweet, smiling at them, conversing politely and even assisting the elderly. He was like an angel. He looked so dreamy. And most importantly he was so kind. She felt really fortunate that she was the one he set his eyes on. That she was the one he offered all his love to. She was so immerged in watching him that she overlooked the time. Then she saw him approaching her. She was still under his spell when he stood infront of her.

"Hey, it's late. You better go now. And anyway, I can't stand seeing you alone here. It makes me want to come over you everytime."

"Huh? What time is it?"

"It's almost 7 Seunghee."

"Oh no. Dad's gonna nag at me. Okay! I have to go. Be careful on your way home. I love you!"

She suddenly kissed him on the cheek and walked away. It was a first and Jeonghan was surprised since their relationship was a little modest. They were slowly moving up and he was glad considering the fact that they hadn't even had their first kiss yet. So with that, he watched her fade into the crowd.

As Seunghee was just feeling in love and inspired because of it, Jeonghan was on a different note. Lately, he hadn't been himself around her. His thoughts were always flowing somewhere. Everytime he looked at her, one thing always pop out in his head. His bed. It was debased. He knew he was turning into something like Seungcheol. But what could he do? With a girl so comely as her as his girlfriend, he could not refrain from thinking about those things. He was a man too. No matter how ethical he is, he still had this inescapable weakness.

"Can I stay at your place for tonight?" Seunghee asked.

"What?" Jeonghan muttered.

Jeonghan was surprised. Does she know what she's saying? Of course she does. But does she really? He was confused.

"You know that my parents are always out of town, right? But this time, they're going abroad. And I'll be alone for two days and two nights. I'll tell them I'll sleep over some friend's house, but can I stay at your place instead? I don't want to be alone at home. I don't feel safe alone."

But do you think you'll be safe with me? His thoughts are rampaging. He couldn't answer her right away.

"Well? Hey, are you listening to me? Jeonghan..."

"Oh, yah. I am. Are you sure? Don't you have anywhere else to stay?"

"You know I don't and it's only for one night anyway."

"And what do you plan to do on the second night?"

Even if he didn't like the idea, he was still worried about how she would spend the night alone at home.

"I'll... I'll try to sleep at home even if I'm scared. Come on. Let me stay with you tonight."

"Aren't you scared of me?"

"And why would I be? I trust you. I trust you with all my heart. You're not like some person I know right?"

"But I told you, every guy's a wolf inside."
