Lucas P.O.V

It has become a common occurrence for Jungwoo to come visit me at work.  Sometimes, he would even stay with me until I closed in the early morning. During these past three weeks, the two of us became very close and we even began to hang out more often. The strange feeling inside my chest kept growing to the point where it overpowered me, and I started to realize that I was actually attracted to Jungwoo. I could feel myself becoming more desperate every time I was away from him, and it really scared me. I wasn't ready to fall for someone, and I already knew that a person like Jungwoo would never be attracted to such an insignificant person like me. He would sometimes flirt with me, but I think that it's just him messing around since he would always laugh at me whenever I got embarrassed.

I was currently contemplating on what outfit I should wear. Jungwoo had invited me over to his place, so I immediately went to my closet and picked out the best clothes that I had. Well, I didn't have any good clothes to begin with, but I at least wanted to put together a decent outfit. Since I usually wore the same five shirts everyday, I didn't have many choices. I exhaled a sigh of frustration as I picked up a plain white hoodie. I examined it to see if there were any stains, and then I put it on. I wore some white jeans and threw on a red jacket on top. When I looked in the mirror, I sighed. Well, I guess this is as good as it's going to get. I began to make my way outside and finally left the apartment.

"Hey Lucas!" Jungwoo greeted me once he opened the door to his large house. I stepped inside and softly gasped when I saw how spacious the house was. My apartment seemed like a garbage dumpster compared to this. He took me to his living room, and the entire area looked very modern. His walls were decorated with beautiful, expensive looking paintings, he had beautiful furniture that looked brand new, and his floor was literally sparkling.

"Your house is so nice," I mumbled while staring at the large TV sitting in the front of the living room.

"Thanks. I rarely get to spend any time here though," he replied while turning around to face me. "You can sit down, if you want."

I plopped myself down on the comfortable sofa and placed my hands on top of my lap. I felt awkward and out of place. Jungwoo must've noticed my discomfort, because he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and smiled at me.

"Make yourself at home, because this won't be the only time you'll be coming here," he stated in a low voice. I glanced at him and he stared back at me with a confident grin plastered on his face. I grabbed his arm and gently moved it away from me. I stared down at my hands and stayed silent.

"Please stop being shy around me, Lucas. I'm not going to hurt you," Jungwoo said in a soothing voice. I looked up and met his warm, gentle eyes. We stayed like that for a few seconds, and then Jungwoo began to scoot closer towards me. My heart started to race due to our close proximity, and my mind instantly went blank.

Jungwoo brought his hand up to my face, and placed his palm on my cheek. He then ran his thumb across my lips and stared at me with a look that I couldn't identify. The pit of my stomach began to feel as if it was tied in a knot and his touch was the reason behind it. The way that his dark eyes pierced through my soul made me feel vulnerable, and I had no way of knowing what he was thinking. His eyes glanced down at my lips and he began to inch closer. My heart was for sure going to stop at any moment now. I tightly shut my eyes and waited for the contact to happen. Suddenly, I felt the heat from his hand leave my face and then I heard him softly laughing. I quickly opened my eyes and saw him attempting to hide his smile. I felt all of my anger boil up inside of me. I couldn't believe that my stupid self fell for this again. I wanted to cry out in frustration. Why did I think that he was actually going to do it? I'm just as insignificant as a drop of water inside an entire ocean, of course he wouldn't actually care about me. I instantly stood up when I felt my vision become blurry. The tears inside my eyes were threatening to fall out, so I had to get out of here as fast as I could.

"Hey Lucas, where are you going?" Jungwoo asked while following me. I didn't reply and briskly walked towards the door. As I was about to reach for the handle, Jungwoo grabbed my wrist and turned me around. My back hit the door and I became trapped. He placed his hands beside each side of my head and stared at me. I lowered my head and avoided his gaze.

"Please move. I want to go home," I croaked out in a shaky voice. Jungwoo tilted my head up by placing his hand underneath my chin, and I was forced to look at him. By then, I was sure that my cheeks were stained by the streaks of tears. I heard him softly gasp and he instantly wrapped his arms around my neck.

"Why are you crying? I'm sorry, did I take it too far? I promise I won't do it again, please don't be upset," he said in a concerned voice. I shook my head and pushed him away from me. I didn't want to keep being an idiot anymore.

"You always do this. Don't you have any idea how you make me feel? I know that you're just messing around with me, but I don't want it to be just a joke. Are my feelings seriously that unimportant to you? I really like you, but I'm very sure that you don't feel the same way so please stop playing around with my feelings." After exposing my true feelings for him, I turned around and reached the doorknob, once again.

"What makes you think that I don't feel the same way?"

I stopped and slowly turned around to face him. He was staring down at the floor while shifting around.

"What?"

"I really like you, Lucas. I thought that I had been very clear about that since the beginning but I guess not. You're not just some insignificant person to me, I truly care about you. I didn't know that you felt that way about me, and I'm sorry for making you feel so overwhelmed. Can you please forgive me?" he said. I stepped closer to him and he lifted his head up. He had a regretful expression on his face, and I could tell that he genuinely felt bad. I held his hand and he smiled up at me.

"Why don't we just start being more clear with each other from now on?" I asked. He nodded and raised our intertwined hands up to his face. He placed a soft kiss on my hand and stared at me. He let go of my hand and walked closer towards me. He placed one hand on my neck and the other behind my ear. Our faces came closer together and I closed my eyes. I felt him place warm, tender lips on mine, and my stomach began to do summersaults. My entire body felt as if I was in a euphoric state as our lips moved together in perfect harmony. My mind was completely intoxicated by Jungwoo's touch, and it felt as if I was trapped under his trance. When the two of us separated, our foreheads touched and he began to softly giggle. I started smiling, and I began to closely examine his beautiful features. I could see the entire world shine in his eyes, and the sound of his voice could easily turn any dark day into one filled with sunshine. I could feel my heart melting as I stood in front of him. At this moment, he was the only star that twinkled at the center of my empty universe.
