Too Much That it Hurts

To make you fall

It was 7PM and Choi Sooyoung was lying on the couch reading novel when Jessica opened the front door. The taller girl glanced at the figure who was now taking off her shoes.

“You have already eaten?”

“Neh.” Jessica walked to upstairs, but then stopped and turned to look Sooyoung again. “Where’s Auntie?”

“Going to airport, she said, picking up a friend.” The shorter girl nodded and continued walking to her room to change and wash up.

Jessica’s POV

I am now drying my hair which I have just washed with the hairdryer. I’m still in the bathroom and only wearing the towel to cover my body. Standing in front of the mirror, I hum some lyrics of Adele’s Hello.

Suddenly the lights went out, left me frozen. Oh my God, I’m afraid of darkness!! I try to face my fear and walk slowly, groping every wall, searching the door knob. Yes! I get it! I open it, but as soon I’m out of the bathroom, I feel too afraid to do anything. I just call her.

“Soo...” I say in a quite high voice, for her to hear.

“Sooyoung…” I shout again since she doesn’t answer.

Sooyoung’s POV

 “Soo…” I hear Jessica calling out my name, then I wake up. I just fallen asleep after I move from downstairs to read in my room. As I open my eyes, I notice the lamp is out. Damn it.

“Sooyoung…” Oh, I forget about Jessica.

“Neh, Jessica!” I replied her shouts.

“Where are you right now?” She asks with trembling voice. Maybe she’s afraid of darkness.

“I’m in my room! Guess the power failure occurred! Hang on, I’ll check the circuit breaker firs-“

“Sooyoung!” She cut me. “Please come here first, I’m afraid…” Her voice sounds so weak.

“Where are you?”

“In my room! Quickly please!”

I turn on the light from my phone, grope some walls and try to find a way to her room slowly. Then I find her door.

“Soo.. Is that you?” She asks in a low tone after noticing the sounds of my steps and her door opened.

“Neh. Where are you?”

A couple second later, I feel my left arm being hugged.

“Don’t leave me…”

She then intertwined our hands. Somehow her arms felt like they were….… naked. And her hand feels so cold. Is she just wearing tank top or what? Or am I holding a ghost? To make sure I’m not mistaken, I move my phone to see her face. But un-purposely the light reach in front of her chest, so I can see her naked collarbone, and her…………………….

…………… cleavage.

*gulp*

Author’s POV

Jessica noticed the light in front of her chest. She’s blushing madly, realizing that Sooyoung just seen her exposed cleavage. But little did she know, she was not the only one who was blushing. Silently, the both of them thank God for the darkness for hiding their red faces.
