The Quiet Boy | Lee Seokmin

Chap. 15

Seokmin's POV

I decided to leave her alone for awhile. I walked back to my room and quickly search for my phone. I found it and I googled 'what to do when a girl is crying'. A few minutes I did some research, I finally know what to do. All I have to do is hug her and comfort her.

Hug her? Can I do it? Why did I feel nervous? I brushed off the questions of my mind. I quickly went back to the balcony. Hoping she's still there.

Yeoreum's POV

I cried for a few minutes with Seokmin was standing beside me. And he decided to leave. I knew it. He didn't comfort me like I expect him to do. He didn't care about you, Yeoreum. Pathetic. I sat on the couch at the balcony since my body felt weak.

I continued crying silently. I guess I have to comfort myself. I tried to stop from crying but these damn tears won't stop. I was really sad. But suddenly, I felt like someone sat beside me on the couch.

I don't know who it was but I thought it was Seokmin. I don't really know it was him, I just know it was him. He sat beside me and pulled me closer to him. Finally I felt relieve that someone's going to comfort me when I'm sad.

I snuggled closer to his chest and I continued crying while he patted my hair. I could feel his heartbeat. It was beating so fast like mine. We stayed in this position for a few minutes and I finally can stopped my tears. 'Thank you, Seokmin. I don't know what happened to me lately but I think, I think I'm in love with you.' I thought to myself and I fell asleep in his arm.

Seokmin's POV

I went back to the balcony and luckily she's still there. Sitting on the couch, still crying. Damn I think she missed her mom so bad like I missed my dad. I walked closer towards her and sat beside her at the couch.

I slowly pulled her closer to me as she snuggled to my chest. My heart beats so fast. I was wondering if she might heard it. This is my first time hugging a girl. I really can't believed that I did it.

Minutes passed by, she stopped crying. But she didn't moved. I took a look at her face and she was sleeping. 'She must be so tired'. I thought. I slowly picked her up bridal style, not wanting her to awake.

I walked towards her room, luckily her door was opened a little so I easily pushed the door open by my left foot. I slowly put her on her bed and covered her body with her blanket. Then I saw a little blanket that have so many bunnies printed on it. I took it and put it next to her as she hug it.

Yeoreum's POV

I woke up and I groaned as I felt a slightly pain on my head. I quickly touched my head and let out a big sigh. I checked the time, it was 8:10 in the morning. 'I didn't go to school today.' I thought to myself and I suddenly remembered about last night.

I realised that I fell for Seokmin. I fell for him already. I blushed at the moment where he comforted me while I'm crying. And I fell asleep in his arms. I gasped. "Did he brought me to my room last night?" I asked myself. I shook my head and get up from my bed to take a shower.

After several minutes, I decided to went downstairs to check on everybody. I saw Aunt Laila was sweeping the floor, Aunt Rose was watering the plant, Uncle Kim was repairing his car and Uncle Tom was cleaning the backyard.

"Oh Yeoreum. You awake." Aunt Laila smiled at me. I walked towards her. "Are you okay?" She asked and I nodded. "I was about to wake you up this morning because you might be late if you didn't get ready. So I walked towards your room and I was shocked because I saw Seokmin was standing next to your bed. He was looking at you. And when I walked towards you, I wanted to wake you up by poking your arm slowly but Seokmin stopped my hand. Then he brought me out of your room. He closed your door and left."
