Stuck in Between (EXO-APink Fan Fiction)

60. Last Chapter

Kris's POV

"Tao steals.. passed it to Luhan.. Luhan in offense. 15 seconds to shoot.. Luhan's blocked. Finding a teammate. " Suho's voice echoing in the gym.

We are in the middle of the crowd, watching our big game to qualify for the finals.

It's been two weeks since I injured my ankle. I haven't played for three games and I regret not having to play for the team today, but I should admit, I like it that I'm watching it sitting beside Chorong in the bleachers.

As for my ankle, I can now walk without the crutches but I'm strictly prohibited to play until next week. We just have to win this time and I'll play next week for the finals.

"Shooooot!" Chorong is enthusiastically cheering for our team. "YEHET!! Go Sehun!!!"

Sehun made a ceremony throwing a heart to his girlfriend, Hayoung. Our maknae is too cheesy though it doesn't show just by looking at him.

But yeah, I envy Sehun.

While the people are all noisy cheering here and there...

"Chorong-ah.." I called her whispering in her ear.

"Eung? Oppa, wae?" she answered, eyes still on the court.

I didn't answer and just held her hand.

She was shocked and tried to let go, but I held her hand more tightly.

She gave me a warning stare. I gave her an innocent face.

"Oppa.. what are you doing?" still trying to give me that let-go-of-my-hand-or-else look.

"We have a secret relationship, right?" I moved my eyebrow twice while smiling.

"Mwo?!" She acted annoyed, but I know she's hiding her laughter. Ha-ha. I caught her with my aegyo!

I hid our hands inside my hoodies' pocket. She looked at it with a questioning face.

I whispered, "Now, they won't know our secret."

"Huh!" trying to prevent her laughter. "Oppa, you're crazy."

"No. I'm just from galaxy."

She shook her head laughing at my answer --- which I think is really true and its the reality.. really I'm from galaxy -- and didn't pulled away anymore.

Chorong's POV

I stared at Kris while he was sitting at the swing in their house garden.

He saw me. "What are you doing there?"

I approached him.

He pulled me to sit beside him. It was awkward sitting beside him before, but now it feels very comfortable.. No. More like..my heart feels safe and warm beside him.

We were quiet for a while.

"Chorong-ah.."

"Hm?"

"My ankle's all healed. You don't have to come here everyday anymore. Go back to your part-time job."

Weird. I felt that certain feeling of loss like an impending doom.

Yes, I made his injury as an excuse to be with him. I just couldn't eat my pride after I avoided and turned him down many times.

But now that I've collected courage to fight for him, should I just let my pride take over again?

"Shireo!" (I don't want). Did that just came out from my mouth?

He faced me, confused.

"Huh?"
