28 | holy night

AERI

"o holy night the stars are brightly shining. it is the night of our dear
savior's birth." renjun's voice was so mellifluous to my ears.

again, having an amazing relaxing moment. me listening to his voice, while painting; my hobby.

r e l a x i n g.

"long lay the world in sin and error pining. till he appeared and the soul felt its worth." renjun continued to sing.

i inhaled then exhaled. slowly leaned back my seat, and closed my eyes , enjoyed his voice.

but he stopped, and got interrupted when the door opened. i frowned, opening my eyes again.

i heard donghyuck's chuckle behind us. "it's not even christmas hyung." hyuck stated the older. "hm, whatever." renjun quickly replied with a pout.

"anyways, mark is calling after you. it's about the plan. still the plan, you guys still need to have plan." donghyuck said, opening the door wider for him to leave. "you must keep planning."

i am the second leader. "what about me?"

"mark hyung said you can stay and relax for a while." he said, sure mark is really protective.

okay.

i noticed i just said that to my mind only, but whatever.

renjun left the room, when he was out of my sight, donghyuck looked at me, and shut the door.

"well." he spoke, he walked slowly to renjun's seat and sat.

i smiled at him, and quickly faced forward to continue painting. i grabbed on the brush, and let it make waves and different shapes.

"you're really good at it." he spoke, making me slightly blush. "t-thanks."

"you're really talented." he said and his voice increased, for some reason i felt like he wanted attention. he slid his chair closer to me, and placed his chin on my shoulder.

i felt butterflies inside my stomach, again and would always stay there. i sighed, biting my lips and slowly placed the brush down the table.

i let him pull his head away from my shoulders, then i eyed him with intense serious inside my eyes. "hyuck, why are you like this?"

he got shakey, and blinked. "l-like what?"

"first you were arrogant towards me, now you're being sweet and it keeps changing." i said, and looked down at my hands fisted.

"i am confused hyuck. are you hating me, or actually adoring me." i asked, which sounded really wrong. i quickly looked up with dilated eyes. "i mean adore as a sister or something-"

"i adore you more than a sister." he spoke, making a tiny of red spread everywhere on my cheeks.

"more than a sister?" i spoke. "more than a family." he spoke. "or than a friend." he spoke again.

is he liking me?

he stood up fast, and looked down at me. "no, it shouldn't be like this aeri. it really shouldn't, i promised to be a brother to you, always." he said.

i stood up, grabbing his wrist and forcefully made him face me. "hyuck..." i whispered, chewing on my lower lip.

i cupped his cheeks, thought twice if i should actually do it, but non i didn't thought twice but went for it.

i tilted my head slightly, and pecked his lips softly and gently. i felt butterflies inside my stomach, and my hands started to shake when i disconnected my palms on his cheeks.

he quickly step back, with fisted hands.

before i could do what i actually want to; confess my feelings to him, or just stop him, i couldn't. he stormed out of the room with blushy cheeks, and left me alone, confused and afraid.
