Chapter 14

"Lisa, do you still feel sick?"

Seeing them concerned about my health made me feel guilty. If only they knew, I was just pretending to be sick so that I won't see his face.

I don't care if MAMA is just a week away, I can't face him right now and practice with him like nothing happened. when I feel so vulnerable.

"As much as we hate to leave you right now, we have to. We need to go to 3 music shows today to promote our song."

Jennie looks at me and placed a medicine on my bedside table.

"Get well soon, Lisa."

Chaeng hugs me and they leave.

When they left I remembered what happened yesterday.

Running away was the best option I thought about.

I went away because I was so embarrassed that I was hurting, I don't even have the right to feel this way.

I blushed as I remember myself calling his name. I didn't like how his name rolled of my tongue so easily. I hated this. I hate how I'm starting to feel familiar with his presence.

Is he even thinking about me right now? I bury my face at my pillow, what am I even thinking? I'm hopeless.

I turn on the television to distract myself from thinking about sunbae but then their group's performance from M-Countdown was being shown,I was about to turn it off
except the camera turned to him, no not to Jimin sunbae but to someone else. A member of his.

FLASHBACK

I lean back against the wall to breathe properly. ,I wipe the tears that flows down from my eyes but whatever I do it won't  stop. I even tried to calm myself but the pain that I'm feeling right now doesn't even subside.

Have I always been this dramatic?

At the end of the hallway, I can hear someone running, he's going my way.

"Lisa, where are you?"

Who would have thought that he would chase after me? Why are you even chasing after some girl who is not important to you anyway, sunbae?

Since I'm scared to face him I ran away, again. Leaving a piece of me along the way.

I kept running and as I did I bashed onto someone, causing me to collide with the hard, cold wooden floor.

"I'm so sorry...."

"Sorry...."

We both said it at the same time, suddenly I see a hand reaching out for me.  I accepted his hand, and with an incredibly strong grip he pulled me up.

I was met with the most beautiful black orbs. Forgetting that I was shamelessly staring at him, I look at his lips, he bites it and licks it afterwards.

"Hey."

His voice was deep, and with just one word I feel like he is a person who emanates a cold aura, the tone of his, leaves me feeling a little bit restless.

I stared at his face.

I blushed as I realized who he was and how close our faces were. One wrong move I could have kissed him.

I could have kissed Suga sunbae.

"Hey."

I feel his breath tickle my face and I back away because I feel uncomfortable with the lack of space between us.

"I'm really sorry, sunbae!"

I bowed to him multiple times, tears betrayed me as it left my eyes, God, I just want to be buried under the ground. When I was about to bow again he stops me and says, "It's not your fault."

He reaches for his pockets, takes out a handkerchief and then he holds my hand and I feel the soft,white fabric against my palms.

"Stop crying and use this."

I unknowingly agree to take it from him, I was about to thank him but I see a staff walking briskly towards him.

"The president and the others has something to show you today."

I see him grimace and cringe a little as he hears that from the female staff.

"I told them not to prepare anything for today! Haisst, those guys really."

Noona smiles at him and ruffles his hair,"Happy Birthday, Yeon Kimin."

When he heard that both of them chuckled. He whispers something to her but it didn't escape my ears because I heard him say,"You go ahead noona,I'll follow."

The female staff bowed to me first before walking away. Sunbae turns to me and he said,"I'll go ahead, bye."

He was about to turn away but then I had to stop him, what was I even doing?

"T- thank you for lending me your handkerchief and umm.. Happy Birthday,Sunbaenim."

He looks back at me and leaves me with a smile that gives off a warmth feeling inside me.

Who would have thought that someone who  radiates a cold aura can have a warm heart?
