The Mysterious Rose (KhunFany)

4: "I like her."

4: "I like her."

Nichkhun smiled at his own cereal. He remembered what he said to Tiffany last night in Starry 5 cafe. He didn't know what he felt when he saw the lightest shades of pink in Tiffany's cheeks last night. He also didn't knew why he said those words towards her.

I like her. Nichkhun repeated those words last night as he stood up in front of the mirror. I like her. He smiled. "I like her." He mumbled as her mom sat down on the chair across the table.

"Who do you like, dear?" His mother asked with a pinch of excitement in her eyes.

"Her, mom." Nichkhun said as her mother let out a small squeal.

"Well, that was fast. Yesterday you were just nagging me about not going to make new friends and progress in your new school and now you just found someone who you liked." Her mom chuckled.

Nichkhun hissed towards his playful mother. Nichkhun's mother wasn't a serious one. She likes playing around, teasing his own son and spending some time with him. But when it comes to business, those emotions were barely seen. And that's why Nichkhun really loves her mother. She spends time with him almost everyday despite how busy she may be. She supports me when it comes to girls. Nichkhun thought.

"What's her name, dear?" His mom asked with a smile. Nichkhun looked up at his mother and returned her a smile. "Tiffany." He spoke those words delicately as if it would break if he pronounces it wrong. "What does she look like?" Her mom asked further, getting more interested towards the girl the her son liked and would soon fall in love.

"She's. . ." Nichkhun mumbled as Tiffany's appearance popped out. "I don't know." He blinked twice, "She's beautiful." Nichkhun smiled at his daze. "Her hair is black and pure that makes me want to trace it and touch it every time it sways. Her skin is so white that makes me want to cuddle her and pinch those cheeks of her. And those lips. . ." Nichkhun mumbled as he looked down and slowly touched his own plump lips. "Are so red and kissable." He blushed as his mother chuckled.

"Well, let's talk more about her later on, dear. You need to get going now if you're willing to commute." Her mother said as he finished munching her bread. "Oh, right. I guess I'll be going now." Nichkhun stood up from his seat, giving her mother a kiss on the forehead as he went out of their humongous house. He was excited to commute because he was hoping to see Tiffany climbing on the same bus that he'll ride this morning like what happened yesterday.

Tiffany sat down on her previous chair, the chair that was two rows away from the front. She sighed at the sight that she was the only student inside their deserted yet clean classroom. But she was surprised that after seconds of breathing, the door clicked open and Nichkhun stepped inside. He was looking down for he was disappointed of not having Tiffany riding on the same bus.

Tiffany looked away as Nichkhun rose his head up. His disappointment soon faded away as a breeze from the opened window came inside, making Tiffany's hair sway. Tiffany sighed as she looked at the window, her arms were crossed as her back leaned on the chair. She had a rough start today because her aunt has a high fever and no one would be looking after her. She was supposed to be absent today but her aunt insisted the she should go and that she can take care of herself.

Nichkhun placed his bag on a vacant seat and went straight for Tiffany. He felt that something was bothering her and he knew that she just needed someone. "Good morning." Nichkhun greeted with a smile plastered on his face. Tiffany looked at him, bending her head up despite of his tall figure. "Same to you, too." Tiffany mumbled.

Another breeze went inside the classroom as Nichkhun got an idea. "Are you interested in a morning stroll on the grounds? I would really like to walk with you." Nichkhun smiled as Tiffany's heart pounded fast. Never did she thought that she would be asked again to walk on the grounds. "Consider it as a friendly and morning walk." Nichkhun added as Tiffany shrugged. "Okay." Tiffany said as she stood up, leaving her things on the chair and followed Nichkhun outside.
