Seventeen imagines

#86 "Eyes"

I searched for him in every place I thought he would go but didn't find him. So I went back home, sighing and disappointed.

A moment ago, Seungkwan called me and said that my best friend, Minghao, got a fist-fight with Mingyu and he suddenly walked out. They couldn't reach him so they asked for my help.

"Where are you idiot?!" I shouted in frustration.

"Who?" A man answered me. When I lifted my head, I saw Minghao leaning against the gate.

"Hey! Where did you go?! Do you know how worried I was and--"

When I first saw him, I don't recognize his whole view. His face is too far away. But when I walks towards him, my heart falls right through my sneakers.  His left eye  is swollen and his cracked lips bursted. Before he tries to utter my name, I'm already on my feet running.

"Look how ugly you are," I mumbled as I touched his cheek.

He gave me a smile and looked down. So, I guess he doesn't want to tell me anything about their fight.

I pulled him inside our house and let him sit on the couch. My parents are still in work so it is just the two of us inside, breathing together in same humid air around. I put the first aid kit beside him and I started to wipe the blood on his lower lip.

"What happened? Why did you fight with MIngyu?" I asked while my eyes are on his lips.

MInghao didn't answer, he just stare at me with his lips in pursed.

"So you don't have a plan to tell me huh?" I complained and met his gaze. Weirdly, his eyes are l like a burning fire and it made me feels hot. "W-What?" I stuttered.

"Mingyu said he likes you. He wants to court you," he answered without breaking the stare.

When I first heard it, I thought I was in a cloud-nine. It feels great to know that the boy I adored secretly for the past two months, since I came here from China, like me back. However, while I am looking at Minghao, my heart thumps nervously.

"Why did you fight just because he likes me?" I muttered, trying to contain myself.

He held my wrist and put my hand down from his lips. "What do you think?"

I avoid his sight and breathe out. "Why a-are you asking me? You are the one who knows the answer."

"Tell what your heart says," he added. "What do you think was the reason why I got into fight because of you?"

I looked back at him and said, "Okay I won't ask anymore. It looks like you don't want to explain it either. I'm sorry for asking okay."

Again, he didn't answer and just stare at me. Gosh, his eyes are suffocating me.

"Do I sound like I don't want to give explanation?" he muttered.

"Whatever. Just pretend that I never ask you."

"Stop it."

"Huh?"

"Stop that please."

"Stop what?"

Minghao looked away and bit his lower lip.

"I already apologized Minghao. I won't ask you again. I'll promise."

"Stop please I'm begging you," he whispered and shut his eyes closed.

"Stop what?!"

"That!" he shouted. "Hurting me! Why do you always hurt me?!"

I freeze by his tone and his words. "H-How did I hurt you?"

"Making me feel like you aren't interested on my feelings. Why are you so bad? Why are you hurting me like this?"

I don't get it at all. But my heart keeps on beating like crazy.

"I-I don't understand it Minghao."

"You won't understand it at all not until I said it. Because you are an idiot." He held my hand and whispered, "I love you."

The world stopped, either the colours around faded away and left him on my sight, only him.

My mind went black and his words drained my body. I want to stand up but my knees are too weak.

"I-I get some towel to wipe your--" I changed the topic and about to move away.

But Minghao grabbed my arm and let me sit again, 3 inches away from his body.

"I know that you like Mingyu," he said with his gritted teeth.

My eyes widen by the fact that my best friend finally found my secret. "H-How did you know?"

"Because I always look at you (y/n). My eyes are only for you."

He cupped my  cheeks that was slowly turning red. He smiled at me before he slowly I leaned closer. My hands are shaking slightly while my mind was repeating the same sentence over and over, "Don't do this... don't do this." But the sound of my heart was beating so loudly I couldn't concentrate. It felt like it was going to explode.

And then, his lips touched mine. Sparks flew in every direction, and the world was slowly disappearing around us, along with all of our worries, our troubles and our problems.

Our lips were moving in perfect sync, that's how I realized I am kissing him back. His hands are now on my waist, pulling me closer, kissing me deeper and more passionate.

"Ahh," he mumbled and pulled back. When I opened my eyes, I saw him holding his bursted lips and wincing in pain. I forgot his injured.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" I asked worried.

But he hushed my lips using his index finger and whispered, "I can handle this."

He pushed himself towards me and connect our lips again. This time, his kiss are soft and light as our lips barely touch each other. He nibbles it up and down before he pinned me down and whispered, "Please don't like other guys. Or else-"
