If I could feel your touch

◆

We are both sitting side by side as I had kept my earphones away in my pocket.

"So, do you want to tell what happened maybe?"

The guy continue speaking Korean as I look at him swiftly after wiping my teary face with my sleeve, "Erm, can you speak...Chinese?"

I awkwardly say with my raspy voice due to crying as now I finally get to see who was hugging me earlier to comfort me.

He have beautiful eyelashes.

He nodded lightly, "I can."

"Sorry, I just started my Korean class so I still can't speak and understand well."

I spoke in chinese now and he gave me an okay hand sign, "No problem. I understand."

"Thank you for just now too."

I whispered as he gave me a smile, "I hope it makes you feel better."

Man, his smile is cute too.

I couldn't help but smile too, "It did. Thank you so much."

It shocks me because no one ever did that to me.

Like, can you even imagine a stranger doing that? No right?

I bet you didn't because I don't either. Is so out of the blue.

"But why are you crying though?"

He crossed his legs together to sit better and I still remain hugging my knees while laying my chin on my knees, "Just realizing that things haven't get better even after I came here makes me upset. I thought it's getting better."

"What is it?" He curiously ask and I shrugged lightly while sighing.

"Discrimination. Humiliation."

"Sorry?" He thought he heard me wrong as he look at me with his wide eyes when I turned to look at him.

"You are handsome, so you will never understand."

I muttered while taking a good look of his face.

Cherry lips. Long eyelashes. White smooth skin.

His face is literally perfect, I can say.

"Even if I do this?"

He suddenly pulled his face with both of his hand and made an ugly face to me which I burst into laughter, "Oh my, don't do that to your face!"

I commented and he chuckled while putting down his hand, "I can be ugly too if I want. Is just a choice."

He stated and that hits me suddenly.

Yeah... Is a choice.

I can be pretty if I make up or something. He can be ugly if he did what he did just now.

I mean, you still have a choice to be pretty if you want to even though you don't have an angelic look by nature.

"But, do I look ugly to you? Honestly?"

I ask while pointing at my face. I don't know where did I get that courage to ask someone that I don't even know his name.

"Hmm..." He rubbed his chin with his fingers while examining me a little.

"You would look better maybe if your hair is like this."

He held out a hand to me as he tugged my hair to the back of my ears and I flinched a little when his fingers brushes through my ear.
