Ice: Thaw the Frozen Heart [EDITING]

Chapter 14

"Thanks," Yeojin gave him the helmet with a smile.

"That's like the nth time you thank me today," Sehun let out a breathy chuckle.

"That's because I am sincerely thankful." Yeojin slightly pouted.

Sehun shook his head at her reaction and he unconsciously smiled again as he lowered his head.

"Ooh~ You're smiling a lot today!" She grinned widely. "You should smile a lot more, you know." She patted his shoulder making him move back a little, as he was flustered. "You look much more good looking that way!" She giggled and Sehun could only stare at her with rounded eyes.

His eyes soon softened before a glint of playfulness appear on them as his lips curled into a smirk. "So you're admitting that I'm actually good looking, huh?"

Yeojin rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Tsk. Please. You're too full of yourself, President-nim." She chuckled and then yawned.

"It wasn't the whole day and you're already tired? Weakling!" He teased and she just poked out her tongue. But she then gave him a small smile.

"I'm going in! Thanks again. Bye, slowpoke!" She giggled and opened the door entering the wall. She heard the sound of his motorbike leaving her house when she closed the door behind her.

Yeojin yawned again as she entered her house. She was going to enter her room, but stopped for a moment when she saw Kris working at his corner. Papers were scattered beside his laptop on the table. Yeojin scratched her head unsure what to do. It had been somewhat awkward after the Chuseok and storage room incidents. They had made up - well, sort of - but she wasn't sure of their standing. Are they friends now? Or was this all just the 'peace period' before the whole drama continue again?

She cleared her throat. "I-I'm home." She tried not to look him in the eyes when he lifted his head.

"O-oh! Y-you're here," Kris replied surprised before he looked at his watch which was indicating it was already past 7.

"Yeah haha," Yeojin replied awkwardly.

"He dropped you off?" Kris asked and it didn't take telepathy for Yeojin to know whom he was talking about as she nodded. "Ah... I see."

They both looked away as the awkwardness thickened.

"I'm... pretty tired." Yeojin started again. "So, I'll just skip dinner, go change and sleep right away."

"Yeah. Sure." Kris cleared his throat. "Whatever." He tried to sound cold.

"Yeah." Yeojin bit her lip and rubbed the nape of her neck. "Good night." With that she quickly entered the room.

Kris was awaken at midnight by the loud sound of thunder clapping. He immediately shot up from the couch and practically ran to the bedroom in panic. He was expecting to see a girl crying or curling up into a ball, but instead, the sight of her sleeping so soundly greeted him. He heaved a sigh of relief closing his eyes.

Well this is a first. She must be very tired. He concluded.

The next day Yeojin went earlier for the first day of the school event and went home with Sehun again at night. She didn't want to seem like she enjoyed being taken home by him, but she couldn't lie that she was pretty glad she didn't have to walk back home - at least for today. Otherwise, she might faint in the middle of the way home because her whole body had lost its strength. And just like the day before, she only said as much as a 'hi' to Kris, who was perching at his corner, before she immediately went inside the bedroom.
