Unspeakable Occasions

6. Flustered

- SUZY POV -

- WEDNESDAY -

As I walk to school I feel an arm over my shoulder. I roll my eyes because I know exactly who it is.
"Fuck off Daniel."
Daniel laughs and pulls me in tighter. "You seem a bit flushed out today."
I touch my cheeks. "Really?"
"Yeah, really." He lets his arm off and starts walking in front of me, backwards. "Hmm. Who did that to you. Was it me?"
"Ha, you wish."

We walk over to class and I start the lecture.
As I start the lecture I make eye contact with Sungwoon and get lost in my mind of thought.
I think Hoshi noticed because he called out my name. "Ms.Bae?"
I snap out of my thoughts. "Oh um...sorry."
Sungwoon could tell that was totally at him, and he blushes.

RIING RIING

All of the students leave and Sungwoon comes up to me.
"Hi Suzy...About yesterday...listen, Sorry if I've crossed the line."
I smile. "Its okay...I mean...It happens."
"Yeah..."
Sungwoon walks out and a bit after, so do I. I see that Hoshi was waiting for me.
"What was he talking about?" Hoshi asks.

I really did not want to talk to Hoshi because I was still embarrassed about being basically told off.
"It was nothing."
"Obviously it was something because he apologized."
"Well it's nothing to tell."
"What does that mean?"
I walk out of the room and out of the school. Hoshi follows me.
"Suzy, seriously. Tell me."
"And I'm serious Hoshi, its nothing to tell."
"And i'll ask again...what does that I mean."
I sigh a little annoyed.
"Dude, it just means it's none of your business okay!"
Hoshi doesn't say anything for a bit. He puts his hand up like he surrenders. "Okay...sorry..."
I roll my eyes and walk away. Although it was a bit harsh, I have too much pride.

I make it home and continue to correct papers till night. I get a text.

Daniel: Meet me at the park by Soju Soju.

I don't think respond but I think about it.
"Should I go...He must have something important to say..."
I grab my jacket and out on my shoes.
"I'm heading out mom."
"Again?" She says. "Where to?"
"I'm meeting someone at the park by soju soju."
My mom winks. "Have fun sweetie."
"HAha, whatever."
I walk out and go to the park by Soju Soju.

I spot Daniel.
I walk over to him and hit his arm. "Yah, Daniel."
He whines in pain and rubs the spot I hit him. "Ow, abusive."
We both laugh and we head over to the swings to sit.
"So why did you ask me to come out here tonight?" I say.
"No reason...Just wanted to see you."
I smile. "What are you up to Daniel? I'm not playing any games."
"I'm not the one playing games here."
"What? Well i'm not playing any, haha."
"Oh but you are."
"But i'm not? I have no idea what I'm even doing."
"Do you want me to tell you?"
"Yes please. Tell me." I say.
"Ha...Yeah I'm not gonna tell you yet. Just gonna keep letting you think about it."
"Wooow really?" I say in despair.
"Yeah really."
"Loser."
We laugh and swing in silence.

I get up from my swing. "Hey I should get going."
Daniel stands up as well. "Yeah...I'll walk you."
My eyes widen. "Oh no...That's okay. You don't have to."
"No its okay, I want to."

As we walk to my house, daniel follows me from behind.

Am I walking too fast? Maybe I'm walking too fast. I'll slow down? Should I slow down? Is he doing this on purpose.

All of a sudden i feel a pair of arms around me from behind.

Daniel snaked his hands around my waist.
"So is it Sungwoon or Hoshi?"
I was speechless. "What..?"
"Do you like Sungwoon or Hoshi?"
"What do you mean?"
"I see how close you are to them...I thought we were close until I saw."
"Um....well we are close...."
Daniel lets go of me and turns me over to face him. He has his arms on my shoulders and looks at me with stern eyes, that made him look 10 times more handsome.
"What are we?" He asks.
"W-what do you mean?" I stutter back.
"I mean...what are we? Do we have a thing?"
"A thing?"
"Yeah a thing. Are you just gonna repeat everything I say?"
"Well....I mean I just don't know. I don't know okay. I don't know what you're trying to say."
He releases my shoulders and runs his hand through his hair with frustration.

"You really don't know what i'm asking you?"
"No I don't know." I say back, also frustrated.
"Dude seriously!" He's yelling at me, which causes me to yell back.
"I DONT' KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY!"
"DO YOU NOT TAKE HINTS?"
"WELL OBVIOUSLY I CANT TAKE HINTS BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME! SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!?"
"I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME!"

....
"what....? You want me to say...what?"

Daniel seems flustered and mumbles something.
"I said...I just want you to like me...Sometimes I want you to more than like me. I want you to love me."
I'm flustered and not sure how to react. But I guess the next thing he did, I did not have time to react.

Daniel quickly puts a hand on the back of my neck and the other cupping my cheek. He connects his lips to mines and sweetly kisses me.
I was so surprised I didn't know what to do so I just stood there, but didn't kiss back.
Daniel releases himself from me and covers his face. "Oh my gosh...I'm sorry I just...yeah."
He quickly walks away, leaving me speechless.
I cover my mouth. "What just happened?"
