Cherishing you ♡ - Kang Daniel

×[¤ Chapter 32 ¤] ×

○ If you promise it, then prove it ○ 

"Is it?" Daniel whisperd as he leaned in a little closer as she did not pull back, just until his breath was tickling her lips. Oh lord, he couldn't fight against the thoughts that were going through him "Why aren't you pushing me away? Or telling me to stop?"

"I don't want to push him away." Was surprisingly the first thought Fay had in her mind, "Call me foolish, call it rushed or call me dumb, for doing this with the guy who hurt me the most, but can you blame me for loving him?"

Her mind was still completeley unprepared as she felt a warmth on her own lips. He connect his lips with hers very carefully almost as if he was touching glass. Afraid it would break any moment.

"Damn, I should have done this a long time ago." Daniel thought as he got engulfed in the feeling off his lips on hers, pulling him in strongly.

This is not what Fay thought would happen when Daniel pulled her away from the dance floor, nor when she came to this party, but there was not a single nerve in her body telling her to object or pull away.

"All the hours I'd spent with Daniel - watching him talk, laugh and pout, wouldn't be enough to know all there was to know about his lips." Fay thought as her eyes fluttert close and she kissed him back slowly, as if she was carefully examining something new she had just attained.

Afraid as she was that everything would crumble down, the moment she became greedy, she hadn't imagined how warm they would feel pressed up against her own.

His lips tasted of his favorite strawberry candy - he had obviously been binge eating them earlier, like he usually does when he's bored. His hands were wrapped around her waist, and hers were locked around his neck pulling him down slightly.

The kiss didn't last long, and honestly it didn't need to for them. That one moment was enough, and the both off them could tell from each others expression. Daniels smile wich always made it look like his whole face was laughing, as he crinckled his eyes, told Fay enough and without thinking she smiled back.

"Let me promise now," Daniel let out in a breathy voice "I won't hurt you ever anymore and I'll make your trust in me unbreakable."

"Don't promise it then, just prove it." Fay replied in a whisper, as her voice was equally shaky from the kiss.

Just when Daniel thought Fay would sink into his embrace, a voice interrupted their noment.

"Daniel are you there?" a male voice, followed by footsteps slowly came closer.

Fay jumped up, and looked around like a rabbit caught in the headlights off a car. She shook her head a few times as if she was returning to her senses, and noticed another path on the opposite side of where she and Daniel had come from.

"I-I have to go!" she hissed at Daniel before hurriying away, just in time as Guanlin arrived.

"Oh there you are!" Guanlin smiled relieved "What are you doing here alone?!"

Daniel who hadn't even got time to react when Fay ran away, slowly turned his face towards Guanlin.

"Just taking a breather." He answerd casually even, though his thoughts were all jumbled up.

"Well you know," Guanlin suddenly started feeling uncomfortable, as the fight from that afternoon returned to his mind "I think things might just work out well for you and Fayre."

"Huh?," Daniel said taken by surprise "What do you mean?"

"It seems like Fay told Risa everything," Guanlin scratched his neck, "And the both of them are still fine with it."

"For real?" Daniel asked surprised "did she really tell her?"

"That's what Risa just said so..." Guanlin shrugged "I thought you might wanted to know."

20 minutes ago~

"Psst Risa!" Jisung waved his hand at Risa, trying to grab her attention.

Risa excused herself from the other girls, and plopped down next to Jisung.

"So how did it go this afternoon?" Jisung asked not beating around the bush.

Al of the boys slowly turned their attention towards the conversation, as all of them were burning with curiosity.

"You mean when Daniel came to look for us?" Risa asked catching on quite well.

"Yeah, or more like between him and Fayre." Seongwoo joined the conversation.

"Ah...I'm not sure about that," Risa said sheepishly, after all she was upstairs with Leo so she didn't hear anything, neither did Fay tell her "I mean they did talk privately two times, and Fay did tell me what happened."

"She did tell you huh..." Minhyun bit his lip confused, as to why Risa was still talking to them normally instead of being mad.

"I guess it's still on a loose thread huh?" Jinyoung sighed feeling guilty all over again.

"What do you mean?" Risa asked, looking from one boy to another.

"It's our fault that Fay found out that the love letter Daniel wrote was not for her, but for you." Jaehwan sighed "She even heard us say, that she was just a stepping stone for him, to get to you."

"Come again?" Risa froze as she let those words sink in to her, although Fay had told her things regarding her relationship, it wasn't this.

She finally understood why Daniel had appeared in the dance room that day, and why some parts off his relationship with Fay, remained mysterious to her.

"We realy did say some mean words..." Jihoon shook his head, regretting their thickheadness at that time.

"T-the love letter really was for me right?" Risa's voice turned stiff, and when everyone gave her a skeptical look she forced a smile, "I'm glad he fell in love with Fay. That way I wouldn't have had to break his heart or face."

"Scary." Guanlin felt a chill go down his spine.

"For a moment you had me worried there." Jisung said letting a sigh in relieve "I thought we had blurted out something again."

"No, not at all." Risa forced herself to sound airy, "You guys are so dense at times."

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Daehwi asked carefully.

"Yes, it's Fays brother." Risa said before suddenly standing up and excusing herself, "I'm going to grab another drink."

"Okay." Sungwoon did raise a eyebrow as she suddenly stood up, but she decided to ignore it and hurried away from them.

"Why didn't you tell me Fay?!" Risa thought, desperately pushing her way through the crowd, before finally finding the place she was looking for.

She quickly locked the toilet door behind her, and tried to calm herself down as thousands of questions went through her mind...
