When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Sixty Nine: When It's Completely Out Of Hand

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

Feeling his lips against hers make her rampage a bit under his touch. His arms all over him, his hands are touching her in places, and his body is pressed closely against hers. She doesn’t want it, but momentarily, as she lets the kiss through, her being involuntarily caves in.

Taehyung senses this and indulges in her lips. He’s sure now, and no matter what she says next will not make him fall back anymore. She truly belongs to him starting tonight. After minutes of sharing hot kisses, he slowly releases her lips, resting his forehead on hers. Her face is flustered, embarrassed and ashamed. He stares at her closely and she still avoids his eyes. From the looks of it, she’s also teary-eyed.

“It’s okay. We can get through this. We can make this work,” he utters.

“I don’t know. I don’t want this. Please Taehyung. I don’t want to hurt him. He’s everything to me…” she begs him.

“If you really love him, you shouldn’t have fallen for me.”

He stands straight in front of her and she looks up to him. He’s confident that he’s on the right track.

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you. We’re in this together,” he assures her.

“No… no… I don’t need this,” she’s tearing up now. “Please just go away…”

“After this? I can’t do that anymore Seunghee. I can’t give you up now.”

“Please… don’t do this to him.”

“I’ll give you time. I’ll wait for you okay?”

“No…”

“I’ll wait for you Seunghee.”

He finally decides to leave. If he stays any longer, he might just forget to respect her. And he doesn’t want that. He freely goes out of the apartment, leaving her in a state of shock. He walks away high-spirited and almost out of it. He’s overjoyed of the circumstances, not caring in the world if he gets to hurt his best friend, for as long as he gets the girl. The only girl who caught him like a butterfly. Taehyung’s feelings towards Seunghee is earnest and honest. And he knows this is something he can’t let go.

Meanwhile, she’s broken to the core. She can’t forgive herself for letting this happen. For giving another guy the hopes of coveting her heart when all she wants in her life is Jeonghan. Why?? She’s going out of her mind asking herself why she did it. Why doesn’t she have control over herself whenever he holds her? It’s unthinkable, unfathomable, unbearable. She wants to hurt herself for doing this. She wants to turn back time and convince Jeonghan not to let him stay from the start. But all she can do right now is cry her frustrations away. She slumps on the floor where he just held her and drown in her regrets. She doesn’t know if she can survive another day facing Jeonghan. She doesn’t know how to fix this mess anymore. She’s so lost. Somebody help her.

The one thing they don’t notice is that the door next to hers just slightly closed. And behind it is the person most vulnerable to the events that just happened.

The next day, it’s inevitable, but she has to go on like usual. Like she hasn’t done anything bad to him. They’re inside her apartment today. She presses the keys and begins humming the tune. Her newest composition is as good as done. She only needs to revise some lyrics to it.

Jeonghan walks in and sits beside Seunghee. She continues playing as he listens to her, taking in the melody and rhythm. It’s a new feel.

“It’s refreshing. You’ve found a new sound,” he comments.
