"Not if you can keep a secret."
With that, he straightened back up and walked towards the table to grab his bag.
"So you really trust me not to tell him?" Your confidence came back.
"I trust that you'll drop the act." He started, swinging his bag over his shoulder. "I know you're not really going to tell him."
Of course he knew.
"Besides," He continued. "If you tell on me, you have to tell on yourself." He smirked as he walked towards the door. "You didn't push me away, remember?" He winked, walking out the door and leaving you there to figure out what had just happened.
He was right. You didn't plan on telling. Even if you did, telling Wooseok would be like shooting yourself in the foot.
"Hey, why was Hangyeol here?" Suzy asked, and you inwardly freaked out.
When did she walk in?
"He forgot his bag."
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come eat?" Junseop asked, setting two boxes of pizza down.
"Huh?" You questioned with raised brows. "Yeah, sorry."
-
It'd been a few weeks since your little 'incident' with Hangyeol happened and maybe it was the only thing you could think about. He didn't help when he and Yohan came over either. It was almost like he was trying to get caught.
Sitting too close to you while sitting on the couch. Dragging you along when he had to do things. Outright refusing to leave you alone with Yohan. Not to mention texting almost every night.
Sure, you'd texted back and yeah, it got a little flirty, but you never once crossed the line.
You did like to rile him up, though. Throwing out how Junseop had just come over to help you with your new project. Or how you were too busy with him to check your phone.
You'd get the standard, ego-bruised response, but what can talk do when there's no action to back it up? Sure, you shared a kiss. One kiss. But how much can that mean when nothing followed?
Then again, you never let anything follow. Every time there was a chance anything could happen, you'd back out.
You stopped going out with them. You stopped hanging around when they came over or you just left, saying you were going to Suzy's. All contact with Hangyeol was strictly over the phone.
Until today.
"You can't just leave, it's my birthday!" Yohan whined.
Fuck, that's right.
You'd completely forgotten that was today. You even bought a present. You were so caught up in trying to avoid Hangyeol that you completely missed it.
"I wasn't leaving." You lied. " I was just gonna go buy...candles." You spoke out, smiling softly.
"But we have candles." He replied.
"But not the numbered ones." You shot back. "I don't wanna light all those candles."
"Are you calling me old?" He frowned.
"No. I'm calling myself lazy." You spoke as you grabbed your bag off the couch and walked out, meeting Hangyeol at the door.
"Can you move." You muttered.
"You're even running away on his birthday?" He said. "That's low."
