Until You Give In

Chapter 4.2 Just One Day

Ae's POV

As I saw those clear brown eyes of his, I was mezmerized. I could probably stay just by looking at him like this. Forever.

Unfortunately the moment vanished as he accidentally bumped unto me, holding my chin, I kept my gaze at him, and I think it made him more anxious than before. As usual he would always sprout the 'I'm sorry' thing.

Thinking of teasing him I kept my face blank and told him that 'he should be', and he stiffened.

I felt like a total jackass saying it to him, but before I could stop myself, I told him if he wanna know who did this to me. As he lowered his head and asked 'who', the memory of those bastard flashed in my mind, gritting my teeth, I told him.

I told him, that it was his ex boyfriend who  did this, i want him to deny that title, but he didn't. Thinking that they really were in a relationship made my blood boil, and it confused me. Or do I really.

Keep on denying Ae...

Keep on denying....

As I continue to threaten that fucking bastard, "I don't care what that bastard name is, that fucking retard called some goons to ganged up on me, coward shit... If I see him... No I will definitely make sure, to see him and pay him back a thousand time of pain, enough to cripple him, and wish that he - " didn't try to obsess over you..., I stared at Pete, trying to see if he had any feeling to that monkey, but he had only this guilty look on his face. Is he worried about that shit. I wont have it, that motherfucker won't be able to come near him, I 'll make sure of that.

Ae... You really are too full of yourself...

As my train of thoughts, dissipates, I heard him saying how sorry he is, I noticed that he was abnormally shaking, he clutched his chest like he' s having a hard time breathing,

'What' s happening... '

I don' t know what to do in this kind of situation, but something was telling me.

Hold him...

Tightly...

Comfort him...

Reassure him...

Without even thinking twice, I grabbed him and held him like I never did to someone else, as his body stiffened, thus I tightened my arms around him, he was like a child that needs to be protected at all cost, he continued to shake, as I muttered an endless mantra of...

'Breathe'

I rubbed his back, to calmed him down, moments passed by, I hope that he didin't noticed the hard beating of my heart.

Being with him like this...

Holding him like this...

Gives me a sense of belonging...

How his soft body fits perfectly within my arms...

It was exhilirating...

He tried to say something but I beat him up on it.

"I'm sorry", I told him. I loosen my arms as he looked at me, trying to see if I'm only playing with him. He thought that my head was probably hit because my attitude towards him right now really was unusual.

I confirmed it by saying, I was indeed been hit twice, his expression became worried, it somehow warmed my heart and as his hands held my face. I gasped slightly, my face probably reddening right now, I cupped his hand which are holding my face.

So soft

So perfect

I gazed at his beautiful face, those cherry like lips,and like a fool, I slowly leaned towards him, this made him closed his eyes,and it only made me want to claimed him more. But if I did what will he think of me. A bully turned... , I fought so hard to control myself and decided to flicked his forehead.

'Silly', I told him jokingly, hiding my embarassment. I can't help but feel happy.

Slowly opening his eyes, he stared at me like I grew another head. Without a word, he suddenly pushed me, I immediately felt  pained due to my injuries, realizing his mistake, Pete, rushed towards me, checking if I'm alright, I want to feigned being hurt, but thinking his sudden panic attacked earlier I decided against it.

Guessing this only made him guilty and worried, he again suggest going to the hospital, which I turned down upright. He even brought up how a blood cloth may form in my head.

He asked on how will I be able to get treated and take care for, if even I don't want my cousin be informed about this.

I'm probably being too much.

"Then", i started.

'Then', he repeated.

"Then take care of me", I managed to blurted out.

Suddenly fearing that he might reject me, because of our history together, makes my heart aches.

He lowered his head, and said with a soft voice.

Then... I'll do my best Ae...

Just hearing how he say my name, finally made this wall called denial that surrounds me crumbles.
