Jun was laying on the ground, I could see a really big bruise on his cheek and blood on the corner of his lips. Vernon was standing next to me, he looked over to see if I was okay and held my hand. it felt different, cause I can swear I felt some type of electricity when his hand touched mine. he then lead me back to the clubhouse, while a now furious Jun was trying to stand up from the ground and attack vernon. I guess vernon realised because he started running while still holding my hand. I was running with Vernon and I never felt such adrenaline like this.

once we lost Jun, we hide in the same bathroom we almost kiss in. we were out of breath, at least I was. i've never been into running or any activity that wasn't laying in bed and eating. I came here looking for adventures but this one was beyond my control. I met this guy a moments ago and now he was making me feel something i have never felt before. with one single touch he made me blush, smile, laugh, get angry and have little stupid butterflies inside my stomach.

Vernon leaned on the wall while peaking through the door, checking on Jun. my heart was beating so hard as I was trying to comprehend what was going on, but soon I needed an explanation.

''why?...''

''why what?''

''don't play dumb, vernon! why did you do that? why did you kiss me? you always act rude and sarcastic with me but then you tell me not to fall in love and out of the blue you come and kiss me like i've never been kissed before and... and I don't know what to do. its the first time in my life I'm clueless on what the hell i need to do. i don't stand you, vernon. i never asked to meet you and i sure did not ask you to kiss me! now Jun appears and you rescue me like some type of hero. why? you told me all these things and now you make me feel like... oh, shit. i don't even know anymore cause I've never been in a situation like this. and you wanna know why? cause i have never been in love before! i have never had someone to make me feel like you do. are you playing? cause this isn't funny anymore.''

Vernon then smacked his hand in the wall near my head as a way to shut me up. I jumped a little before looking back at him. he had the same lost look, just like when we first kissed. his hazel eyes were travel all around my face, as he was trying to study me. my heart was beating faster than before. whenever he looks at me like that, I feel so vulnerable. his eyes looked back at my lips, just like a few moments ago, here at this small room.

''don't... just like you said before, don't.''

Vernon kept quiet as he was studying my face again. he leaned closer to my face, making my cheeks to blush. I needed to get out of there or else I knew i would get into something i would regret later on. i tried with all my best to gain the courage to just get out of the room, but his eyes were stuck on me like some type of barrier stoping me from moving.

''Vernon please... you told me it doesn't mean nothing, any of this.''

''it doesn't.''

''good... then please lets just go.'' i felt like someone punched my heart when he said those words. he was just playing with me. I'm not this type of girl, but I knew i would soon forget about him. or least, thats what im hoping.

''but...''

''huh?''

''but I need this...''

Vernon leaned closer to my lips, and I was hoping to mingyu to slammed the door open again, saving me from all this. when vernon's face was close enough to mine , he moved closer to my lips. I could only looked down before he could kiss me, so his lips were almost brushing my forehead.

''so now I'm a good for nothing bastard like that fancy boyfriend of yours said.''

''I don't think of you that way...''

''then you should just go, run away from here. cause once you know me better, you'll think so too.''

''try me... and i won't go. like i said to jun... to my ex, back there. you can't boss me around.''

''fierce little girl, im proud.''

vernon was too close now, and i was still waiting for mingyu to come and save me but it was too late and at that moment, i was thankful that he didn't. I look at vernon once again, while my eyes were getting a little teary.

''You told me not to fall in love...''

''what about you?... I thought you would never fall for a guy like me...''

it only took a moments of silence before he cupped my face like he did before, but this time, the kiss was long and slow. his movements were sweet and smooth. I wished I could just freeze time to this moment and save it forever but soon I'd know i was right, I would regret this later on.
