When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Seventeen: When Things Are Going A Step Higher

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

They stare into each other's eyes for a moment just like that. Both unable to process what is actually happening. But with bodily instincts, they both turn away from each other instantly.

Seunghee puts her hands on her chest to slow down the thumping of her heart. She's going crazy now. Did he just try to kiss me? His face was so close and I could even smell his minty breath. And... he was so close!! What the heck is happening??!! Seunghee, get a hold of yourself! She screams inside.

Jeonghan on the other hand is scolding himself. What did you do? You dimwit! Can't you wait? Can't you control yourself? You can scare her away! Get this fixed before she walks away from you!

He turns around and calls her, with his relaxed tone, "Seunghee-shi. I'm sorry, did I scare you? I was just looking at the bracelet. But I guess I was a little too close to you," he fabricates wishing she believes him. Wish she buys this!

Seunghee clears her mind off for a second and faces him. She doesn't want him to think that she's getting afraid of him. It won't be beneficial on her part.

"Oh yeah. It's okay. I was just surprised. It's nothing. I'm alright."

"Thank goodness. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. Well, let's call it a night Jeonghan-shi. Hope you like my gift," she says forcing an awkward smile on her face.

Jeonghan obliges and replies, "I like it. Thank you for this Seunghee-shi and good night."

"Good night."

Seunghee enters her apartment hurriedly. It's too obvious that she's shaken of what happened.

Jeonghan sighs after she left and bumps his head on the wall. "What an idiot you are Jeonghan!"

From there, he continues to blame himself for the bummer he has done all night long.

"HE WHAT??" Areum and Sorn say in harmony.

"Keep it down...." Seunghee whispers to them avoiding the glances from the people around.

These girls are at the center. Last night, Seunghee asked Areum and Sorn to be with her on this sunny Saturday morning. And there they are, having sundae at their favorite restaurant.

"He actually did what?!" Areum repeats.

"You heard me. From the looks of it, he definitely tried to kiss me! Even though he denied it afterwards," Seunghee says kinda hoping he didn't.

"And he said he was just looking at the bracelet? Just exactly how near was his wrist to your face?" Areum continues.

"Like this?" Seunghee demonstrates it. And it's a little too far to be close enough to her face.

"That's too far!" Areum exclaims.

"He's definitely not aiming for the bracelet unnie," Sorn agrees.

"I know. But what do I do if he insists he's not? I think I'll just brush it away like it never happened," Seunghee looks down a bit.

The girls just look at each other.

"It's not over Seunghee. With what he's acting, there's definitely hope for both of you," Areum assures her.

"Yeah, it's almost coming to light unnie. What he feels for you. He's surely thinking about you somehow," Sorn seconds.
