Coincidence (EXO)

40: Troubled

Kai’s POV.

“Do you like my Jongin?”

“No.”

My face faltered in disappointment and my heart ripped from her answer, even though I was kind of expecting it.

I can’t lie; I got sad and angry at the same time.

I slowly rested my ear against the door again, careful not to make any noises and continued eavesdropping on Sam and grandma. There was still long silence before my grandmother dropped a bomb, the ultimate blow.

“If you don’t like him, then why did you kiss him?”

My eyebrows knitted together in confusion and I started to look lost. How does she even know this? My brain started working again and my forehead roughened in realization;

My grandmother saw me and Sam kissed in the living room.

My heart stopped pumping, making my blood flow stop running. I was panicking. Obviously Sam too because she wasn’t answering her question. It’s such a simple question, just say yes.

I started getting impatient even though only a brief couple of seconds passed by. Why isn’t she able to answer such a simple question? You either like me or you don’t.

But then it clicked and I understood what grandma was doing. She is testing her. And Sam is failing miserably.

Sam is such a mystery and I hardly understand her sometimes. She does this and that but she doesn’t understand the consequences of it or why she is even doing it. Is she really this naïve or is she truly oblivious? I like her! What is it about it that is so hard for her to understand? Do I have to write it down for her to get it? And when we kissed, it wasn’t like she was fighting it. She kissed me back. Doesn’t that mean something for her? I shook my head when I felt myself getting soft for her.

There was this long silence and although I wasn’t present in that room, I could feel the tension and I had to do something about it.

I entered the room with much haste which made all three of them whip their head towards me to the see intruder that suddenly decided to burst through the door. My grandmother smiled as usual while the maid and Sam looked at me with round eyes from the sudden appearance.

I gulped before grabbing Sam’s wrist after I walked over to her.

She may have been rescued and saved this time from grandma but she cannot run away from me.

Sam’s POV.

My jaw dropped when I heard the maid translate her question. My mind went blank in bewilderment and I blinked several times, trying to comprehend the current situation. I was certain nobody was downstairs except for me and Kai yesterday! Were the two of us too engrossed in each other to notice somebody else’s presence? I closed my jaw again to prevent myself from drooling since I was unable to swallow at the moment. My heartbeat increased and my hands started cold sweating in a matter of seconds.

Does she hate me? Why did that idiot even have the nerve leave me here alone? Kai is never there when I need him the most which frustrated me. This situation was so typical and predictable so I started to throw around obscene words in my mind in panic and stress.

When seconds felt like minutes, Kai suddenly came in. I thanked God when I saw him and both of us looked at each other before he faked a smile to his grandmother. He suddenly rushed towards me and grabbed my wrist tightly before pulling me up from the bed. I stared at him in horror because he was giving me this mean look. I didn’t understand it though.
