Late (Yoo Kihyun FF)

eight.

discovering her mother and kihyun's mom, byul walked slowly and smiled.

"byul-ah! come sit! kihyun's mom and i were just talking about you." byul took a seat next to her mom and watched as kihyun walked towards them with a smile.

"annyeong, mrs. eun, eomma, byulie." he winked at her and byul felt her heart race.

"so byul, do you have a boyfriend?" byul's choked on her water as kihyun's mother asked the question out of blue.

"n-no, i don't."byul turned a light shade of pink and his mother smiled knowingly.

"really? no way. you must have someone in your heart!"

"mm.. i do." byul smiled shyly.

"is he handsome?" she teased byul and byul slowly nodded while turning a darker shade of pink.

"what do you like about him?"

"uhh, he's really sweet and friendly. i don't know, him and his presence just makes my heart race, eomoni." byul smiled and gasped when she realized she confessed her feelings unintentionally.

"mm. i hope you and that person work things out well, byul-ah~" kihyun's mom winked at her and byul could only bite her lip shyly.

"and how about you kihyunnie! anyone special?" kihyun ears turned red and slowly nodded.

"yup. she's so pretty eomma, she's super nice and i know that she kind of likes me too." both kihyun and byul smiled at each other's comments leading their moms to wink at each other secretly.

"did you find a date for tomorrow byulie?" byul's mom raised a brow and she nodded nonchalantly.

"i'm taking wonho & minhyuk."

"why don't you take kihyun instead?" byul coughed and turned a bright red waving her hands frantically.

"a-aniyo, eomma. i did a favor for wonho so he's obligated to go with me!"

"what did you do that you actually convinced him to come?" her mother questioned as kihyun looked at her expectantly.

byul bit her lip and whispered into her mother's ear so kihyun wouldn't hear, "we thought kihyun was a very cold boss in the beginning and was scared of him... when we had a meeting wonho & i were kind of late and um.. kihyun punished us by making us be his secretary while his secretary was on break... and uhh... wonho begged me to do it by myself and i finally agreed when he said he'd go with me to your party."

"mm. i see. but it would've been nice for my son-in-law to come, no?" byul's eyes widened at her words and bit her lip when she kept talking.

"kihyunnie? are you busy tomorrow? would you like to attend our company's party?"

kihyun frowned, "i'm sorry eomoni. i'm busy.. but do you mind if i spend a little time with byul for a while?" he got up from his seat and grabbed his coat.

"go ahead! just make sure she's back before 12. i don't want her to be cranky tomorrow." byul stood up, looking at kihyun in confusion but following his steps.

"where are we going?"

"hmm i don't know~ i just wanted to spend time with you alone." he smiled and byul nodded softly.

the scene of her and kihyun kissing was stuck in her mind as she followed behind him closely. she wanted to claim him as hers and tell wonho & minhyuk about how happy she's become ever since she became close to him.

she shivered a bit and rubbed her hands together causing kihyun to look at her. he carefully took off his coat and put it on her shoulders. she jumped but he just smiled at her, grabbing her hand tightly. 

"kihyun?" he turned to her and she frowned, "once i go back to doing my regular job.. i won't see you as much anymore."

"is that what's been bothering you?" byul nodded and he softly smiled.

"don't worry byulie. i'll make time for you and we'll text or call everyday okay?" he squeezed her hand and she nodded.

"you know.. i thought you were really cold at first.. but turns out, you're just a really cute hamster." she squeezed his cheeks and smiled cheekily. 

"h-h-hamster?? I'M A SHARK!" he whined and she giggled.

"see~ this just proves my point. hamster." she teased and he let go of her hand, lifting her up, and carrying her like a sack of rice.

"YAH! YOO KIHYUN! PUT ME DOWN!" he chuckled and moved byul, wrapping her legs around his waist.

"i don't want to." he smirked and pecked her lips, leaving byul to stare at his face in shock. her ears reddened as she hid her face in his shoulder. 

"p-put me down!" she tried to fight him but he just smiled and carried her quietly back to her house. byul sighed and closed her eyes slowly before drifting off into a deep sleep.

"byulie?" he called but in response all he heard was a soft snore. kihyun smiled, whispering under his breath, "cute." before walking back slowly.

"byul. we're here." he lightly shook her and she rubbed her eyes, yawning as he put her down.

"y-you carried me all the way home?" kihyun nodded and cupped her cheeks.

"go in. it's late. i'll text you before i go to bed." she blushed and put her hand on his.

"okay.. don't overwork yourself. get home safely!" she quickly kissed his cheek before running inside.

kihyun smiled and held his cheek, eun byul, i'm falling for you fast and hard.
