Chapter 16: Closer Part 2
[Changkyun's POV]
Lunch time has finally come. My seatmate quickly stood up and held my hand.
"W-Wait!" I called out, getting the packed lunch from my bag.
After he saw it in my hand, he dragged me out from my seat and our room. He was in a hurry; this scene felt nostalgic. We ran fast, passing through the corridors and down the stairs. We came out of the building in no time. He dragged me to an unfamiliar path leading to the back part of the building. I didn't hesitate or put up a fight to where he was dragging me because I finally had my trust on someone after years.
I trust him, like the way he trusted his past to me.
In a short while, we arrived to the place where he wanted to eat our lunch. My eyes gleamed at the sight. It looked like the park but the ground is covered with a thin layer of grass. Trees can be seen anywhere, making the scenery look great with the way the leaves swing to the breeze. The place was cool and peaceful, just like Hoseok's taste with places.
"Where do you want to set our lunch here?" he asked, smiling.
He seemed energetic today. I think this is the first time he had some sort of picnic. I lead the way under the large tree at the far end part of the place, near the fence. I laid the blanket neatly and set our lunch there. I didn't notice that he was carrying a small bag with him all this time.
"Stay there." he smiled.
He took out the camera and started taking pictures of me sitting on the blanket. I just went with him and smiled at the camera. After taking pictures, he sat down and we started eating the lunch my mother had prepared for us. We shared stories while we ate, making our lunch time more interesting and lively. After we ate, we wrapped up the things we ate on and set it at the side. We still have time before our lunch time ends so we decided to take a rest first before we go back. He laid flat on the blanket, his head resting on my lap.
"Changkyun?" he called out.
I could feel my heart race when he called out my name. His voice sounded sincere.
"What?" I asked back.
I held my head down to see his face. I fixed his hair that fell on his forehead.
"Thank you." he smiled, looking straight into my eyes.
I could feel my face burn red but I didn't look away from him.
"Don't do that again Hoseok." I was referring to him lashing himself.
"Wonho."
What?
"Call me Wonho." he smiled at me, caressing my cheeks with his fingers.
"What for?" I asked him, puzzled.
"My mother gave it to me when I was five. She said that only my father and she can call me like that."
"What was that for?"
"My mother said calling someone aside from their name makes them feel closer or special. I want you to use it. I want you to feel closer to me."
*tug-tug... tug-tug... tug-tug...*
"Okay, Wonho." I smiled at him.
He shut his eyes and breathed in deeply. Silence fell to the both of us, the breeze and the swinging leaves of the trees can only be heard.
"Do you like me, Changkyun?"
*tug-tug... tug-tug... tug-tug...*
I like you...
I was taken aback with the sudden question, his eyes still closed.
"I-I don't know... maybe..."
I like you but...
"Don't rush yourself there." he said, smiling.
He grabbed my hand and he held it in the air. He opened my hand slowly and parted my fingers so it would lay flat on his hand which is obviously the bigger one.
"I'll wait for you until you don't like me anymore."
What are you saying?
He locked his fingers with mine, slowly bringing it to his face.
"I don't want you to like me..."
Are you pushing me away?
He blew air at the back of my hand.
"... I want you to love me, like the way I love you."
He closed the gap, kissing the back of my hand.
I don't know, Wonho.
I could feel my eyes tear up.
I'm still sorting my feelings for you.
I stared at his peaceful face, his smile hadn't faded yet.
But I'll let you know...
The bell rang, it's time for us to go back now.
...once that I finally know that I'm in love with you.
He opened his eyes and looked straight into my eyes.
For now, I want you to...
I felt his hand make its way at the back of my head.
I want you to...
He pulled me in closer to his face. He slowly closed the gap between our heads, our lips touching once again like last time.
...save me too, Wonho.
