It's Pleasure to Meet You

Chapter 7

Earth

I teased P Podd to help me use a sleeping mask. I was still on the bed and taking an ig story. I felt P Podd's hands shaking. Was he nervous? Then I held his hand and looked his eyes. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. I was speechless. I intentionally moved his forefinger  stop on my lips. P Podd looked at me and something quick touched my lips.

P' Podd's lips?

"I'm sorry, Earth. Really, please forgive me. I didn't mean that. I think I should go home." After kissing me, P Podd got off the bed and took his clothes into his bag hurriedly.

"P Podd. Listen to me! Wait P Podd!" I got up and stopped his hands.
"I did something bad, Earth. I shouldn't have been here."
"No, P. Look at me!" P Podd looked down. "P, I'm okay. It was my fault. Maybe you were carried by the situation. I forgive you, P. It's nothing really."
P Podd glared at me.
"Yeah, it's nothing. But I think I should  go home."
"P, just forget it. I'm okay. Please, stay calm."
"What if I do further?"
"What are you going to do?" P Podd was speechless. Really, I didn't expect that he would kiss me. But I thought I know now that P Podd really like me.

I wasn't angry when he kissed me. Why? I didn't know the answer. It was  another sweet thing that he had done for me.
He cooked for me. He bought snacks and fruits when he came. He picked me up at univ. P Podd always did sweet things for me. But what had I done? I always bothered him. He was never angry.

"P, let's go to bed. You have a schedule tomorrow, right?" P Podd nodded. Then he followed me to go to bed. We were busy with our smartphones. I saw him playing his smartphone while playing my blanket.
"P, you cannot sleep?"
"Actually yes."
"Still think of your kiss?"
"Stop it, Earth. I'm sorry."
"Okay. Are my lips so hot that you wanted to kiss me?"
"Hey!!" He shoutted but I laughed.
"I read your Ig. Your fan screenshooted your story when P New and P Tay commented."
"You did?"
"Yes. If your fan hadn't do it, I wouldn't have seen it."
"They teased us much."
"P, did you see twitter? My fan sent me a photo when we were having lunch at your favorite restaurant. It said that we had a date."
"Really? Can I see it?" I took my phone and showed him the photo.
"Look at the comment! They said that I was too sweet when I spoke to you."
"They were right."
"What do you say?"
"You always look at my eyes when you talk to me."
"Am I wrong?"
"No. It is just sweet." Really? I thought eye contact is useful when we are chatting. It is a kind of respect.

"P, did you feel disturbed with those comments?"
"No. How about you?"
"Ehm, I don't know." When he heard my answer, he sighed.
"Well, Earth. Let's sleep. I was tired." Was he angry? P Podd closed his eyes.

Was he really angry? Oh P Podd, what should I do? You have a couple in Kiss Me Again. Even though it has been months, viewers couldn't forget you and your partner.

I was different. I had series with P New. I had a lot of fan service with him. But now people forget us. They like TayNew better than EarthNew. P Podd and I met because of coincidence. Then P New introduced us. If P New hadn't introduced us, we would have been usual work partners.

This thought made me stay awake. Was I stressed? It made me hungry then. I put instant noodles and cooked it. I knew it would make me fat, but I couldn't stand it.

"Look! Earth is hungry right now. It is almost 1 a.m. Everyone. Earth is eating instant noodles. Earth, are you hungry?" P Podd woke up and took an Ig story of me.
"Huum." I continued eating.
After few minutes, we went back to sleep.

***
I woke up early. I had some schedules today. Today is actually my birthday. I thought P Podd didn't know my birthday. We never talked about our birthday. I knew his birthday from internet. Did he really not know my birthday?
