Chap. 18

Throughout the day, you waited patiently for Key's arrival so you prepare snacks and carbonate drinks for you and him later.

A smile plastered on your face the whole day and when you opened the cabinet door, a crumpled note fell down. You instantly bend down and take it, uncrumpled it and...to your surprise, it was a note from Minho for you all those years ago.

On the evening, you were making a hot cocoa as the weather outside freezes you to your bone. Making your way to the the table, you sat down and sip it slowly, feeling the warmth and the sweetness of the cocoa flowing down in your throat.

"Hmm hmm"

You heard someone clearing throat so you spun around to see who it was. You thought it was your mom, so you said,

"Mom?"

Sounds of footsteps was heard making its way to the kitchen, revealing your mom.

"Yes dear?" She asked as she tieing her hair in a ponytail.

"Did you call for me?"

After tieing it, she turned to you.

"I guess not. Why?"

Your brows knitted in wonder.

"Oh nothing"

"Okay" is all she said before she went to another room.

You were about to take your mug when a small note were laying beside it.

' Guess who, angel? '

Just by reading it, you smiled with the feeling of butterflies flying in your tummy.

He hugged you behind, feeling his heart beating on your back. The strands of your hair were pulled back gently and felt soft lips landed on her cheek.

"Merry Christmas, my angel"

You don't know why but these past few days, the memories of you and him keep flashing back in your mind.

Your cheeks felt warm and wet, not realizing you were producing tears.

Knock knock

Someone is here.

It is Key.

Wiping away your tears, you gently slap your cheeks before forcing a faux smile and head to the door.

Turning the doorknob, you see a familiar guy smiling to you. Or rather... A seductive smile? You don't know. But you remember him when he asked you about the address.

"Yes? Any address to ask this time?" You said with a little joke.

He just smile, not wanting to say anything. You noticed his eyes turn black every second. In your 17 years of living, you never seeing a person who can change their eye color.

"No. I just want to say..you look beautiful"

Blush by his words, your cheeks turn rose red then look away.

"T-thanks"

By unknown reason, you suddenly feel scared of his presence.

"I'm Tao. And you are?"

Holding out his hand, you feel incredulous but shake it anyway.

"I'm _____."

"Pretty name you have there. Like you"

You take a few strands of hair and put in behind your ears.

"So...anything else, Tao?"

"I want you"

As he said that, he's eyeing your body and smack his lips. All you can see in him now shows danger and lust.

"I'm not gonna take that as an answer"

You're about to close the door but it stopped in midway. Looking down, his foot stops it from keeping you close it. Suddenly, the door is strongly pushed back made you almost fall down.

Tao, on the other hand, smirking, slowly walking towards you. You take a step back, carefully observing what his action might be

All the words in your mind is,

Run.
