NEVER BE THE SAME

Chapter 27

"Not so fast Miss Gayoungie...where do you think you're going huh?", it was his turn to smirk.

He puts one hand in her back and pulls her body flush to his. Her face was inches from his. She can feel his breath tickles her cheek. "Thank you...for giving me another chance...", he whispers. He slips his hand into her hairs and then kisses her. He kisses her as though she is the air he breathes.

She wraps her arms around his neck and he deepens the kiss. "Oh, God...I missed you...", he said between the kiss. He really missed the taste of her lips. The way it dances around his. He sneaks his hand under her oversize T-shirt, he starts caressing her bareback. Her silk skin feels warm in his touch.

She pulls away instantly. "Wait..oppa...", but Dohwan didn't listen. Instead, he circles his arms around her back to pull her close again. "Oppa..", Gayoung pushes him away with her hand in his chest.

"Wae?", Dohwan protests with sudden interruption.

"We need to talk..."

"We can talk later...", Dohwan was trying to kiss her again but Gayoung put her hand in his mouth.

"Nope...", Gayoung said firmly. She turns around to the kitchen, made her self a cup of tea and a cup of coffee for Dohwan.

Dohwan followed her to the kitchen, sulking. "I need a cold beer...", he grumbled.

"You need to be sober for this conversation oppa...", Gayoung said and put a cup coffee in front of him. "And thank you....", she smiles.

"Huh?"

"For coming here....for fighting for us...and for the flowers..."

Dohwan can't help but smiles. "I am glad I did..."

"I am sorry I pushed you away before...You looked sad because the ratings keep dropping...and I thought maybe I was a distraction...I thought...if we were not together, you can act more freely with Soyoung...and I thought-", she was blabbering but Dohwan cut her off.

"You...and your brain...", Dohwan pokes her forehead. "The ratings that keep dropping has nothing to do with you...okay?", Gayoung nods hesitantly. "We both know that the story is getting worse...and nothing I could do will change that...", Dohwan continued. "Of course I am sad...when something you've worked so hard didn't come out as you expected...everyone bound to be sad and disappointed...so did I...but you are the one thing that makes everything bearable...", he reaches her hand and wraps it with his hand. "I might lose some job offer or some popularity...but I don't care because I get something more precious...and it's you...the feeling you gave me...it's exhilarating...", Dohwan smiles sincerely. "I don't want to lose it ever again...I don't want to lose you...", he tightens his grip on her hands. "And for the offer or the popularity...I can get it back...I'll work harder to get it back..."

"Oppa....", she smiles. "I am...", she didn't know what to say.

"Yaa....I've made a super long speech...and you just said that...", he was sulking again. It's funny how he changed from a wise old man to sulking little boy in a second.

"I love you....", so much. "I promised my self...I'll try to not push you away again..."

"Good...", he was beaming now. "Now I don't know if I should thank Minjae or hit him in the head...", Dohwan pretend to weigh the option.

"Yaaa...why do you want to hit him in the head??"

"Why? Did you really ask me why??", Didn't she realize what Minjae did yesterday? "He deliberately messed up his dialogue, so he can repeat the kiss scene...many times...oh God I hate that punk.."

Gayoung was just looking at him in disbelief. "Come on oppa...it's just a peck...we barely touch..."

"Still....", he's sulking now.

"Mianhe...", Gayoung feeling a little bit guilty, even if it was just a peck. It must be hard seeing that. "Is that why you were getting drunk?"

"That....and your another oppa...", Dohwan grumbles. "You said you never met him again since the drama..."

"Changmin oppa?"

"Don't call him oppa in front of me...", Dohwan looks really annoyed.

Gayoung sigh. Maybe she should just let him kissed her earlier. "We met accidentally in SM building..and he asked me to grab a coffee...and drove me to the set..."

"Accidentally huh? Very convenient....", Dohwan rolls his eyes. "you accidentally bumped into him when you were single...Don't tell me not to be jealous of him..."

"I am not....", Gayoung smirks mischievously. "You should be careful oppa...because I definitely see him as a man...a very charming man.."

"Yaaa!! You're not allowed to do that now...I am your man.."

"Hmmm....let me think about it...", Gayoung pretend to think. "And how about Hwayoung? You said you haven't seen her since the drama ended...but you called her after cuddling with me...it's a little bit too much, don't you think?", now Gayoung is glaring at him.

"So you admit that you were jealous huh?", Dohwan smiles smugly.

"Not jealous...just overprotective...", Gayoung denies.

Dohwan burst out laughing. "Ok..my overprotective girlfriend...let me explain...she send me a message and told me that she was felling down and really need someone to talk...so because I haven't slept yet...I called her..."

"Didn't she has another friend?", Gayoung pouts. "And it's very nice of you Mister...being a good friend to every girl who was feeling down...why don't you offer her a hug as well huh?", she said sarcastically.

"You're really cute when you're jealous...", Dohwan is teasing her.

"Oppa...I think she likes you..."

"Who wouldn't like me?", Dohwan said proudly. Sometimes Gayoung wonders if Dohwan and Shihyun actually the same person.

"Yaa...I am serious oppa..."

"I am serious too...but only with you, because...", Dohwan moves forward and whispers in her ears. "You're my girl...", then he is trailing kisses from her cheek to her lips. He doesn’t deepen the kiss, just lets his lips linger on hers, pressing gently every so often. He eventually pulls back, delivering one last kiss on the corner of her mouth. Leaving a permanent smile there. "Would you go to a dinner date with me?", Dohwan smiles.

"With a pleasure...", Gayoung smiles. "Give me a minute...I'll get ready..."
