chapter v. somebody's jealous

KAI

"I k-kissed someone by mistake here in the neighborhood." I fakely answered. I mean, it was all I could do to save my ass of from him. But don't think I'm a numb person for not feeling guilty - I actually was. I felt like something was ruined inside of me. "What's her name?"

"It was a random girl, Kyungsoo. I didn't know her name, though."

"Oh. Next time, be careful around the neighborhood. There are some pretty weird people you just don't know in the far corners." He warned me as he went to wiped the counters. I nodded as I took his advice.

"Well, guys, can you tell jagiya I'll be going ahead? I need to do something first. Thanks again!" He took his bag and went out of the house quickly. Hm, I wonder what he's up to now. But of course, it always has to be something about Aryx.

"We were almost caught." I sighed in relief. Guilt was still running up my veins, which made me nervous. What if he'll know what really happened? But what could I do at that time? Tell the truth and get kicked out? Great. I wish that'll happen.

"Dude, did you really kiss her? Like, on the lips?" He asked and I nodded, while we both sat on the couch. Saying the truth to Sehun made me relieved, to be honest. But, would I tell the truth to Kyungsoo so that there won't be any guilt and lies running in my blood? Never in a million years.

The only question I need an answer for directly was - would I let him know the truth by himself and let things go worse? Oops, did not think of that one. Fuck this, I'm being stupid as hell. "I tried to resist but I just couldn't." I explained.

"Don't worry hyung. If you have the will to do it, then you could!" He encouraged me while patting my back. "You have a point there. But I just couldn't do anything I want and ruin their relationship. They've done a lot for me, and it's the least I could do for them."

"Yeah, I guess so too. I mean both of them are really good neighbors. Since I was little, Aryx and Kyungsoo acted as my parents when mine weren't around. They took care of me, as if I was their own,"

"God, I really don't know what do at this situation, Sehun. I already did a lot of stupid things here which I should pay for in return," I said to him worriedly, while turning on the television to Let Me In on Channel M.

"Remember when I just wanted to be her friend? I guess today I don't feel like wanting to be just that." From the very beginning, my feelings for her was just normal. All I think of her was a pretty, kind and weird friend. But now? I couldn't accept being in the friendzone - being in the friendzone of someone who already has a damn boyfriend.

"Oh, I guess you want to be her everything," He said quoting the word everything. I slightly nodded. I felt embarrassed on saying that I wanted to be hers. It felt like Ms. Jinyo Shin, my English teacher, would ask me if what she taught to the class was correct or not, and I'd say the wrong answer because I wasn't even into English class in middle school.

"Oh, I guess you're in love," He smirked. "Love - it's a wonderful feeling. Love, it's a four letter word. It's said to someone special, just like you, because love, it's between two people who feel as if they're in heaven to feel what's right, oh love."

"Stop singing your first grade song for English class, Sehun." I blushed at his statement. Uh, this is so embarassing. And to be honest, he's pretty good. He's pretty good in ruining my mood and messing with my emotions. He wins jerk of the year for me.

"Where's Kyungsoo?" Aryx asked us both. Me and Sehun turned quickly to her and said in chorus, "He went ahead," She sighed heavily and sat next to Sehun in the couch. "He always leaves me alone here."
