It Was ❛Love❜ All Along • 박찬열#1 ✔

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed. I was in my room. The memories of last night started coming back after awhile. I remembered how scared I got inside the elevator. I remembered being rescued by Chanyeol.

"I won't let let anything happen to you...I promise." he had said. That was so... at least not like the person who pushed me away that night.

Then I remembered the last thing that happened before I...fainted. Holy shit, I FAINTED??!! I sprung up and immediately felt my head go dizzy. I held on my head for sometime. Each moment of that hug and the kiss gave me goosebumps. I HAD KISSED JAEBUM! I remembered falling in his arms, and looking in his eyes...his eyes were filled with clouds of worries. He actually held me tight and the way he took my little face in his slender hands and shut me up with a kiss felt...DAEBAK! My tummy started piling up with butterflies. I brushed my lips absentmindedly. His lips were so soft, like I'm kissing a plush-toy. The thought of the taste of his kiss made my whole face go red. It was...sweet.

I had to talk to Amy and Sophie before anything, so I tried getting up. After a bit of dizziness, I went out of the room. It felt like no one was home. Feeling awfully filthy, I went into the washroom to get cleaned up. I heard our apartment door unlock. Maybe they were home. In a hurry I wrapped only a towel over me like always and got out. It sounded like they were in the living area.

"Guys, where did you go so early in the...AHHH!" I tried covering the whole of me with two of my little hands, but alas they weren't enough. He was standing tall and looking at me with rounded eyes and brows raised, clearly red on his cheeks.

"I-I'm s-sorry, Y/N..."

I was in such an awkward position. I tried covering myself with the room divider curtains.

"What are you doing here, Jaebum?!"

He turned away from me, blushing awkwardly. He cleared his throat quite a few times while talking.

"I-I brought you home last night and since nobody was here, I decided to stay in case you needed anything. Don't worry...I slept on the couch. In the morning I went out to get some food for you while you were sleeping."

The room was filled with awkwardness. I stood still. He kept fidgeting.

"H-how are you now, Y/N?"

"I'm okay."

"Good. You go and get ready, I'll prepare the breakfast."

And I ran to my room and locked it tight. Covering the blush on my face with both hands I silently shrieked. *Out of everyone, did Jaebum Oppa really HAVE to see me like this?*

I got dressed and slowly, after much hesitation, came out to the living/dining area. Since we usually just microwaved our food and ate on the couch, our small dinner table was piled with boxes and other junk. He perfectly understood the use of the table and brought our breakfast on the couch. We sat facing each other. The pancakes he made looked so cute with the faces he drew with icing. I smiled at them. He smiled at me.

"They're cute."

"Thank you. Tell me how cute they taste?"

I took a bite and the honey in it melted in my mouth. Hmmm, he sure worked on this one.

"They taste just fine... So you can cook!"

"Yeah, pretty handy for a partner, don't you think?"

Awkward. What was on his mind? I wasn't still sure what was going on between us. Everything felt out of place. But seeing him so close to me even just in those loose black T-shirts was turning me on. I watched him as I silently ate. He had one of those bad boy faces, but his innocence glowed in his smile. I smiled softly. He stole a glance at me and kept eating. It was as if he knew I was watching him, and he was letting me. My eyes followed him down and I felt his biceps pumped up. His chest, although not clearly visible underneath the black cloth, appeared swollen. He looked sexier in person, than in photos. Even more sexy in his normal style than make-up. The thoughts of him kissing my neck suddenly popped up and I bit my lips. He looked at me, blushed, and kept looking. His looks were so inviting, like he is telling me to just throw away the plates and bottles between us and rip that black tee off of him and just go wild. My hands were itching to grab him by the collar and show him I can be a better kisser than I was yesternight. He smirked at me.
