not so Fake Love

Chapter 16

"I love you...", Sooji blurts it out.

Now it's Shihyun turn to freeze.

"I am sorry...", Sooji says apologetically. "I am afraid...", she drops her head. "I am afraid that you were just joking around...and I am afraid that...if I take you seriously...you're going to disappear...I don't know what I would do if you disappear..."

"I won't disappear...I promise..."

"But everyone I like disappears..."

Shihyun can hear the crack in her voice. Sooji is on the verge of crying. "Honestly...I am afraid too...I am afraid that I am going to lose you if I admit this feeling...but I want to be honest with you, and hoping that my feeling is enough to make you stay...because your feeling is enough to make me stay...", Shihyun looks into her eyes. Trying to make her understand that he won't leave her.

"You promise me you'll stay?", Sooji desperately needs to believe him.

"I promise...as long as you want me by your side...", Shihyun tries to convince her. "Oh wait, I correct that...even if you're running away...or hide from me...I'll find you and drag you back to my side...", he smirks. "Are you ready to have this clingy boyfriend.

Sooji chuckles. "Nope...I wanted to have a clingy husband..."

"Clingy husband it is...", Shihyun smiles. He cups her cheeks and kisses her. Starts with just a peck but gets deeper as soon as Sooji parted her lips. Shihyun pulls her tiny waist to hold her closer and almost lost himself when he felt the silky fabric of her nightgown. Shihyun pulls himself off to stop the kiss.

Sooji looks at him confused with the sudden loss of contact. "Why...", she pouts.

"We should stop...or else I really can't stop myself..."

"I don't want you to stop...", she still pouts cutely.

Shihyun really wants to kiss that cute pouty lips. "But we can't do that here..."

"Why??"

"I can't do that with the thought of your mom is in another room...", he whispers.

"Okay...you're ridiculous now..."

"Come on..."

"Where??"

"Home...", he smiles. He can't believe he finally can call that apartment as a home.

"Home...", Sooji smiles.

"Oh...dont forget to bring all your nightgown...", Shihyun grins.

"Yaaa!!! You pervert!!!", Sooji throws a pillow to Shihyun's face.

"Waeee???", Shihyun protests.

"What do you want to do with my nightgown??"

"I am your husband...I can do whatever I want...", he winks.

"Oh God, this man is really unbelievable..."

================

They've arrived at the apartment in the middle of the night. Sooji gets out of the bathroom wearing Shihyun's T-shirt and shorts.

"Why are you wearing that??", Shihyun pouts.

"What's wrong with this?", she looks at her clothes up and down. Since the first day she moved here and Shihyun gave her his t-shirt to sleep, she made that a habit to sleep with Shihyun t-shirt.

"Why don't you wear your sleeping gown??"

"Yaaa!!!", Sooji gets up on their bed and attacks him with a pillow. "Why are you so obsessed with my sleeping gown..."
