Honey (Zhu Zhengting&Bi Wenjun Fanfic)

21

'' Shhh, let's go, ''

I look up and see Wenjun. Still embracing me, both of us go away silently. Im stil holding onto him with his hands wrapped around my shoulder. We finally arrived at a park. There's a bench nearby and both of us seat. As soon as we seat, Wenjun turns to face me. He cups my face and wipes away my tears gently with his thumb. He looks at me in the eyes before muttering something.

'' Do you like Zhengting? ''

I look at him, '' Very, that it hurts my heart terribly, ''

Wenjun nods and brings me into a hug. I make use of the opportunity to sob silently. I close my eyes and enjoy the embrace from him. Wenjun then whispers to me, '' I won't make you cry, trust me Hani, ''

A FEW DAYS LATER

'' Hani, Prof. Wang would like to meet you right after the class ends later in his room, '' Quanzhe says when we arrive at the cafeteria for lunch.

'' Oh ok sure, '' I put my food on the table and Quanzhe puts his right in front of me. I was about to start eating when I suddenly remember about Cess. Cess has went back to Korea and everyone can see how Quanzhe seems a bit lost lately without Cess.

'' Quanzhe, are you alright? I mean you look a bit distracted these days, '' I try to find suitable sentences. He stops feeding himself and smiles a bit. '' Yeah, Im alright, I just have a lot of assignments to complete, ''

I nod before pursuing, '' Umm, how are you and Cess? ''

'' We're fine so far, Cess is doing good in Seoul, ''

I hold his hand, '' Quanzhe, if you need someone to talk to, you know Im always here rite? I believe both of you can go far. Cess loves you so much and so do you. Don't worry too much okay? ''

'' Thanks Hani! Oh my god, Hani, quick, go meet Prof. Hwang now, he must be waiting for you, ''

I look at my watch, '' Shoot, yeah! I'll go now, bye! ''

I sling my backpack and head towards his room. It takes about 3 minutes for me to arrive at his room. I knock on his door.

'' Come in! ''

I enter his room and the first thing that captivate my eyes is the decoration of his room. It looks so classic. A lot of vintage ornaments are put on his desk. I take a seat in front of the desk right when he permits me to do so. He wears his spectacle before saying.

'' So you're the student from Fine Arts Faculty who scores the highest in Arts last semester, Hani, right? ''

I blush a bit, feeling flattered, '' Yes, Im Hani, ''

He smiles warmly, making him look like a father. '' Great, are you free now? ''

'' Yes, I am, ''

'' If so, I have a task for you, ''

I feel a bit nervous, '' What would that be? ''

He then gets up and walk to his cabinet. He takes out a drawing standee and an empty canvas along with some paints. Do I need to paint something?

'' So you see I need you to paint a portrait of  someone, is it okay for you? ''

I have no option I guess so I just agree to him. '' Sure, but who should I draw? ''

With that, the door of his room is being opened by someone. I turn to see the figure and right when I see that figure, my heart stops beating.

'' There he is, Zhengting, you will be drawing a portrait of Zhengting since we have to complete the portfolio of the President of the Students Council. Its our tradition every year to have the picture of the president being drawn. This year, you will have the honor to draw his portrait, ''

I remain speechless and motionless in my place. This is all too shocking and my heart is aching. I can't look at him. Realizing the awkward silence, Prof. Wang proceeds, '' So I'll leave you guys now since I have a class, good luck! '' He packs his belonging and goes out of his room leaving Zhengting and I alone.

'' Hani... '' He walks closer. I stand up quickly and walk to the drawing standee, ignoring him.

'' We shall start now, '' I say. He doesn't say anything and sits in front of me. I pick up a pencil and starts sketching his face. Every single seconds that we have feel like a torture to me especially when I have to look at his face to sketch and the worst part is his eyes never leave mine. His sharp gaze lies on my face that I tremble while sketching.

Both of us are silent throughout the times. Only the sound of my pencil sketching on the canvas can be heard. I try so hard to focus on my painting but I swear I can't! Every second of painting his face feels like my heart got pierced and I tremble hard to resist the tears that are threatening to fall down on my cheek. I bit my inner cheek. My heart is exploding with various emotions at the moment.

The brush falls down from my grip as soon as Im done painting his face. I look down, not bothered with the brush. I heard Zhengting's footsteps heading towards me.

'' Hani, are you alright? What's wrong? '' He sounds genuinely concern. He squats next to me and I can feel his grip on my shoulder. I brush him off and pull myself up, looking at him.

'' Zhengting, how could you? ''

He stands and look at me dearly, '' What do you mean? ''

'' Our date, our kiss, does it mean anything to you?! What am I? Why are you ignoring me?! You acted like nothing happened and you asked me what did I mean?!!! ''

He opens his mouth to say something but nothing is said. Tears start to fall down my cheek. I feel so horrible, oh lord! I glance at him.

'' Do you even like me in the first place?!! ''

'' Hani.. I.. '' He seems to say something but I don't know why the fuck he's holding himself from saying anything! I clench my fist. My heart is crying deep inside.

'' Hani, I don't know how to put this but can you please don't go? Everything will be fine soon, I promise, ''

I grab his collar, '' Im so paralyzed having to bear this feeling alone! And you're telling me not to go?! I..hate..you! ''

I let go of his collar and pack my belonging. I get out of the room without turning back. I wipe away my tears that seem to flow endlessly.

'' Hani.......Im sorry...''
