Finding: Us | [Discontinued]

Chappie 12

HYUNRA POV

Letting out a dramatic gasp, Jeonghan poked at a page on a magazine continuously but then quickly silenced himself when he caught me staring at him with a tight expression on my face, as if he had 3 heads.

He switched his eyes back to his magazine but glanced back and forth at me suspiciously.

What is he reading?

I tried to peek over his arms to see what he was freaking out about but he quickly flipped the page as if not wanting me to find out what he was reading.

"Are you...reading an adults magazine?" I narrowed my eyes at him accusingly and gasped in shock. He almost spit out the drink he just sipped on the moment he heard me say that.

"WHAT?!" He coughed violently and slapped the magazine close, he seemed a little embarrassed as he blushed just a tiny bit.

"You are, aren't you? That's why your panicking!" I smirked and waved my finger playfully at him.

"No, what are you talking about? I'm not." He mumbled unconvincingly.

I lunged forward to try to grab the magazine, wanting to see what was so interesting in there. But he raised it up high and me, having short and inflexible arms, couldn't reach the magazine.

I groaned and grumbled in protest when he continue to wave the flimsy magazine in the air, teasing me.

I went even nearer to him and our faces were just a centimeter away but I didn't notice the closeness of us as I was too concentrated in getting the magazine.

Without any sort of warning, my lips received a light and gentle peck from a pair of soft lips.

My mind couldn't work properly then but my body react differently.

I wasn't used to his kisses then, so I melted immediately when I was kissed.

Literally.

I gave Jeonghan a slight glare for kissing me so unexpectedly like that but inside I was practically exploding into butterflies. And Jeonghan just flshed a mischievous smirk to my blushing and hot face.

We stared at each other for awhile...

And awhile more...

And he started leaning in...

But the moment was immediately broken when the shrill sound of Jeonghan's phone rang.

I wanted to roll my eyes at the phone for ringing, but I couldn't.

"Hello?"

The person on the other side of the phone sounded like a woman.

I mean, not that I was wondering or anything.

"Okay." Was all Jeonghan said as he looked up to me for a brief moment before looking away as he stood up and walked into his room, he looked worried and in pain as he frowned and pursed his lips.

At first, I took a few steps to follow him into his room but he closed the door on me, clearly a sign that he wants no one near him now. Not even me, so I left him alone.

"Alright, I'll call later again." That's all I heard on the other side of the door before he hung up.

I leaned against the wall of the other side of his room for awhile before the door of his room opened suddenly and a worried looking Jeonghan came out with a small forced and tight smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked uncertainly.

"Nothing." He said with a sigh.

"You're a really bad liar." I tried to laugh a little and lighten his mood but he still had that scrunched up smile on his face.

He then simply walked past me as he whispered something under his breath and flopped himself back onto the sofa.

I followed him and squeezed myself onto the sofa beside him, he shuffled himself nearer to me and I stayed in his arms.

We stayed in silence for a long time before I spoke up.

"I'm not sure if this is the best time to raise this but... why did you leave? 2 years ago right after your tour. I always thought I did something wrong. Was I too clingy? Did I change in a way you didn't like after my memories returned? But I couldn't figure out why you left then. I mean, honestly, I still can't understand even now." I confessed and asked him the question I longed to know the answers to.

He didn't reply straight away. He kept quiet and looked like he was searching for the right words to lay out everything.

"I...I'm sorry, I'm still not ready to say it now. I'm worried, that I don't have enough time left with you. It scares me even more to put the truth out, so I can't put myself to say it. I'm sorry." He looked onto my face with sad glistening eyes that seemed to contain a lot of problems and conflicts in him.

I also took a moment to answer him. "It's alright. Tell me whenever you want. I'll be there." I said softly and we didn't continue that conversation, we stayed on the sofa, snuggled together on a chilly evening together just like 2 years ago.

At that time, I didn't think much about when he said that he's worried about time running out, thinking that he just meant us breaking up again. I mean, I didn't worry about that since I'd never leave him.

But I should have asked him about...
