"uhm..." she mumbled, blinking her eyes, pressing her lips into a line.

'no renjun don't do this, she might not like you but hyuck.' he suddenly thought.

while in the other hand, renjun realized what he was just about to do when he felt her hand loosened from his grip.

his eyes widened, pushing himself away and letting go of her hand, he faked a cough, "s-sorry about that i didn't mean to, you know.." he scratched his nape and distanced from the girl.

"i-it's alright, i thought you'll hold my hand forever?" and she faked-laugh to drive away the awkwardness.

seriously they've been together for almosr three hours yet they're awkward smh.

[ renjun ]

"i thought you'll hold my hand forever?"

what do i do?

i looked at my wrist watch and we're almost stopping, i'm panicking...

it was silent, i couldn't come up with a sentence nor an action. i really think this is much for me, i shouldn't have said nonsense things to her, neither confessed when she said she liked me and was in love with me.

she just can't accept the fact that she likes donghyuck.

i'm hopeless and i don't want to become like what i've been a year ago.

"renjun-ssi, let's go." she said so gentle, i was spaced out and didn't knew that the ride had stopped.

i stood up and got out first, leading her out with a hand. i let go of her hand as soon as she walked off, and trailed again behind her.

"do you want to eat?" she asked, "i-i'm full." damn why are you stuttering aren't you a man?

"hmm me too, do you want another ride?" she asks again.

i just want to be with you.

i stopped walking when my phone rang again for the nth time. i checked it for the first time and it was, mark who has almost a hundred missed calls with jaemin.

i ignored the call and opened the messages.

even in our group message was mark and the others being like that. i think what we did was very wrong. i haven't even asked for her brother's approval.

"renjuunn-ssiii~" i shook my head as she waved her hands on my face, getting me back into senses, "why are you so quiet again?"

"uh nothing, don't you want to go home?" i asked, if i'd keep ignoring her brother until after the day, i'd be a dead meat and would even never see her again.

"why so sudden? i haven't even enjoyed being here, are you tired already? i thought you too wanted to spend the whole day with me.." i noticed how her tone went dull by the end of her sentence.

i held up my phone in front of her, which displayed mark's cell number who was calling.

"ohh," she took it from me and answered it, "what?"

"let's go somewhere else it's loud in here." i dragged her out and headed to the nearest bench stop.

"we're not doing anything! i'm just enjoying myself here! what do you think i'd be doing by the whole week left? locking myself again in the apartment?"

i bit my lower lip, just staring at her as she talked and fuming at her furious brother. how can a girl be so perfectly beautiful for like every single time?

can you not tell that i do like her?

but again, i am here to just help her realize and accept that she does like him. and not me.

"so... shall we call it a day?" she spoke to me and asked afterwards, "are you going to wait for the bus?"

she handed me my phone and stood up.

"i'll walk you home." i said as i stood up, taking steps closer to her.

i wanna man-up this time.

"you know, i still don't want to go home yet. don't you want to go back there? with me? don't you enjoy being with me?"

her words got me off guard as my heart doubled in beats.

and when she pouted.

why you gonna be like that?

i just stared at her as she talk and talk. didn't even noticed that i am now inches closer to her as her voice faded.

"u-uh renjun.."

i blinked my eyes so did she, as my hand went to cup her cheek. what am i even doing? i'm uncontrollably getting even closer, everything's uncomfortable.

wait, i am going to kiss her. but how'd you kiss a person? is this even how you do it?

i barely watch romance drama or such so i don't know what is right in what i am doing.

"r-renjun-ssi..."

i gulped, blinked once again and finally landing my lips against her cheek, quite close to her lips.

my eyes widened, so did hers, as i pushed her lightly and gasped, covering my face with my bare hand, "sorry!"
