Chapter 33

A1:
You might not expect this, but I am from Malaysia!
For people who are familiar with my country, I'm specifically from Sabah state :)
Thank you for your comments on the first question! So honored to know where you guys are from! Let's get along okay?

"What are you waiting for?"

Xiu Min glanced at me and back to my precious. His clothes were all black, which was a first for me. I just opened the door of the driver's seat, waiting for him to budge and get into my car.

"Erm, can I make a request?" He flashed his teeth, grinning. "I want to drive."

I instantly rounded my eyes. "Yeah, no fcking way. Now, get in."

Without even waiting for him to respond, I got in the car, buckling my seat belt as I waited for the back door to open.

But when the door of the passenger seat beside me suddenly flew open, I found myself staring at Xiu Min who got in like nothing happened. He slammed the door shut, and started adjusting his seat.

"Yah." My brows furrowed. "What in the whole wide world are you doing?"

The boy pulled his seatbelt and buckled it in one quick insert, before lifting his face and grinning again. "You said I can't drive, you didn't say I can't sit beside you."

"Dude, what if someone sees you? Even worse, what if we get chased again like we once did?"

"Geez, chill Byeol! Even if someone is chasing us, I'm sure you can handle it. You're my guardian after all." The way he looked at me with such determination sparkling in his eyes made me speechless for a second.

"Wow." I muttered before sighing loudly.

I started the engine as he rolled his eyes. "You and your sighing."

"Let me be." I smirked as I drove out of the parking lot. "I am a free citizen, I deserve a right to sigh whenever I want."

"A sigh like that... must have been tough, huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"You... you haven't finished your story the other night. About the guy..." he nervously said, and I could feel him glancing at me several times.

I bit my lower lip, holding my sigh. I forced myself to not picture that night where our lips sealed, but damn it replayed before me like it was going to haunt me for good.

"Not today, Xiu Min. Not today."

He nodded. "Okay."

I stayed quiet, driving as calm as possible to the nearest grocery store.

But hey, something is weird.

I'm not... fainting. I'm not trembling, not shaking, not recalling the incidents of my past. Instead, all that I could think of was our kiss.

I acted all cool and keep quiet about it, but inside I was actually freaking out.

This is the first time I'm not scared of talking about him. I'm not having any bad reactions to it too.
