Chapter 20: Mine 내꺼야

Chapter 20: Mine 내꺼야



Min Chi

  Confusion.

  
  That's the right word to describe what I am feeling right now. Good ol' confusion that I've been with since birth. Confusions when your brother/sister tries to trick you with their favorite magic trick. Confusions that makes one person's mind blow during exams when you don't know the answer to the indefinable question. Confusions when your best friend is standing in front of you asking how you feel about him telling you his real feelings towards you. And I'm telling you...

  I have no idea, what he's saying.

  I stare at him long enough to say that I have no response towards his question. It's not because I was speechless.. Wait, scratch that, I was beyond speechless right now, but I'm not gonna show it. Then he stared back, and by the way his eyes bore into me, he is staring inside of me. It doesn't take a genius that he's reading me. And I wanted to tell him what I'm feeling, I wanted to let him in. 

  "Baekhyun..." the word rolled off my mouth before I can even stop it. I know that our nicknames for each other,  is a very important thing for us. So, it's shocking to call his name again, even for me. His eyes widened in surprise that I have called him by his real name. And from all the meanings I must have put in, just by saying his real name, he takes it the wrong way.

  He took a breath, and then sighed. "I screw up, didn't I?" he asked, looking at me worriedly. "I-I'm sorry Kim Chi-ah." then he took back what he said, "I m-mean Min Chi-ah." he lowered his head, looking down at his shoes.

  Just by hearing him calling me by my real name again hurts. I thought it wouldn't, but I'm telling you it hurts. I'm not expecting it, but it hurts. Damn, I haven't even thought that it hurts. Why does it hurt?

  "아니... (No...)" I tried to stop him, telling him that he misunderstood. But it barely came out in a whisper. "Don't say that." I told him. Now, its my time to look down in embarrassment, but him looking up is definitely worth it.

  "Kim Chi-ah..." he called me by my nickname. HE CALLED ME BY MY NICKNAME. 

  I still didn't look at him, even though I'm dying to see his reaction. But him placing his hands on both sides of my cheeks, he's helping me to look at him. And I couldn't me more thankful because of that small gesture. He gave me the strength to meet his eyes. Those mesmerizing eyes that I have missed staring at even though it's just a minute ago since I last saw it. 

  We just stare at each other for a long time. We said our feelings for each other just by looking at each other's eyes. Words can't even describe how I feel right now. 

  Then the next thing I knew, he was leaning in with smiles on our faces. Then, he kissed me. On both sides of my cheeks as I closed my eyes, my hands resting on his arms while he holds me. Then, he hug me, like I was his most precious thing in the world. "I love it that I can call you mine now."

  In his arms, I thought, This—This is where I belong.

~○~○~○~○~

 "How did you manage to put all this in your back pack?" I asked Baekhyun, curiously. Obviously hating the awkward silence suffocating us, but the tone in my voice betrayed me as it let out a crack at the end of my question. Remind me to take Strepsils later.

  Staring at his back, I can see the vibration of his body as he let out a chuckle, noticing that I was clearly pissed about myself for asking such a stupid question. "Is that actually necessary?" he asked, turning his body to look at me with a smirk plastered on his face. I look at how his pillow sank slowly and I just can't help but smile at how this small movement can make him hot.

  I took all my time to stare at him. This boy is the definition of (99.9%) perfection. Seriously, he has the looks, talent, and the attitude that every girl dreams of, and I just want to slap myself because I haven't noticed it even though he has a lot of fan girls complimenting him everyday.

  "Staring isn't polite." He joked, with a teasing tone in his voice. I was taken aback at his statement, am I really staring at him that long? I asked myself, and I couldn't help but blush, looking away from him.


  I heard him chuckle, so I looked up, but immediately regretted it. The next thing I knew, his hand was pinching my right cheek, and he knew I don't like it when people touch my face. Because if anyone touches my cheek, I would do anything to get them tackled on. That's what I did to San Beok and Yoon Ji-unnie when they made fun of my cheeks.

  I glared at him, and was about to tackle him, but then he stopped pinching my cheek and turn around, so now I was facing his back.

  "Psh. You know I was about to declare war." I muttered more to myself, holding the blanket tightly around me as I also turn around so our backs are facing each other. After that, a long silence surrounded us, that I think I can just heard the noise of crickets outside.

  This was my first time to be so close to Baekhyun this much, and it feels like he's actually letting his guard down and opening up to me a little more, as I to him. We weren't the best friends in the world, but despite what happened between us throughout our months of friendship, I'm surprised he's the only person that I can compliment is a true best friend. And I don't want to change anything about it. Yet.

  "Kim Chi-ah," He asked me, from behind. I raised my eyebrow, a smile creating on my lips, "Oh?" I asked, pretending that I wasn't interested, but on the inside I was curious.

  Then, I felt him turning his body, but he wasn't facing me, based on the noise, I could say that he was looking up, and my back was facing half of his body.

  "I like you." His words caught me off guard. It made me remember our silent confessions to each other a while ago. But this is different, now that he's actually saying it with his mouth and his voice, it suddenly got me tongue tied. 

  I remember when Yoon Ji was teaching me how to respond to a boy when he confessed to me. If I like the boy, I should give him a chance. If I don't, then I shouldn't. Easy as that, right? Yeah, even I thought that it was easy. But this is a different situation! Everyone knows I'm shy so I can't say it back without bluffing or ruining the moment. I blame Yoon Ji for this.

  I pressed my lips into a thin line. Gosh, I hate it how he has that effect on me.

  "It's okay if you're not ready to say it, yet." He assured me, now turning his body so he can face me. And I calmed my breath, thankful that he said that. Unfortunately, he added one thing, "But promise me one thing."  And it made my whole body freeze.

  "Stay by my side forever, 알았어? (Got it?)"

THEY ARE NOT SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED. I REPEAT, BEFORE YOU EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THEM SLEEPING ON THE SAME BED, I AM TELLING YOU, THEY ARE NOT. They are just having a little talk then they'll go to their separate ways. So, calm your tits. 

I'm also very, very, very sorry that I haven't updated for quite a while now. Seriously, when I said that I tried to update, there's always some problems that will suddenly appear and I won't be able to update. So, I'm sorry again. But now, that I have updated, I wish this chapter is worth it. Sorry, if it's not, I was typing really fast. 

Anyways, because I'm a religious Catholic, Pope Francis just step foot in the Philippines! I am soooo happy right now. :DDDDD
