Moon Star (Moonbyul x Xiumin)

Chapter 54

"Why did it have to rain on our first date?" I could hear Xiu Min grumbling like a kid as soon as he walked out of the bathroom. He was in a fresh pair of clothes that I had lend him, a very usual thing when he was first kidnapped. Another familiar sight is the first apartment where I brought him to has become our hide out place from the rain and public.

Xiu Min saw me sitting and immediately stood still across where I was sitting, a hand holding the towel he was using to dry his hair.

I raised my brows, folding my hands as I looked where his eyes were going.

"Ah." I gasped, realising that he was stunned by my real hair that was just as short as his.

A hit of horror struck me to think he will be turned off to see me being boyish again. He will not love me the same when I dressed comfortably in oversized clothes. Well, we were at home and it was more comfortable for me to wear big clothes in the cold weather, but he was so happy with me when I wore those revealing clothes. But his hardened expression when he saw me made my whole heart drop in a loud thud.

Have I made a mistake?

"Wow."

I stared at him, and then the corner of his lips curved.

"You really look good with that hair. How can you slay so many haircuts? You definitely pass as an idol." He laughed cheekily and hurried over to my side, cuddling me who was absolutely frozen. He wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned his head to rest on my shoulder, which was a new thing for me- but it felt too nice to ignore.

"Hm... you really think so?" I nervously asked.

"Yeah," he lifted his head and whispered. "You can disguise as a boy or a girl anytime... that's cool."

"And you don't mind?"

"Me? Why should I?"

I gulped. "Well... I'm not girly, cute or sexy. I'm boyish, I have boyish skills and dress code, and I can't really adapt to sweet relationships. Besides, I curse a ton. Don't you mind?"

I waited for his answer, my heart throbbing in curiosity.

Xiu Min didn't directly answer, but instead sat straight and faced me with his legs folded on the sofa. He stared at me calmly for a few seconds that felt like an eternity.

Ommo. Is he mad or something? Is he going to confess how he actually dislikes me being so boyish and rude?

"Moon Byul Yi."

The way he said my name made me force myself to stare back into his deep gaze.

"If I had mind all that, I wouldn't be here wishing that I can stay with you forever. I wouldn't ask you out and make a confession on Namsan Tower. I wouldn't be nervous and excited like I was going to explode every time you're close, oh- especially when we kiss. I could've saw you in both your girl form and boy form without a throbbing heartbeat, but fck. Cause I do. I see you in a dress, then it's wonderful. When I see you like this, it's even wonderful. Why? Because you're being yourself and I still want to be with you forever. Cursing? Fck that sht! I'm cursing already anyways. And that part where you said you were sexy? Fck you Moon Byul Yi! You look sexy even now!"

Thump.

Thump. Thump.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

Without another word, I wrapped my arms around his waist and dropped my head on his chest.

He hugged me back, and I never thought I needed someone like him so much. And now that I've found him, I'm never letting him go again.
