26: The Bouquet's Sender

[A/N: Listening to the same songs preferred in the last chapter will also work well in this chapter. Enjoy😀]

"Looks like you found the bouquet."

I did not turn around. He must've seen the bouquet. So I just replied,

"What does it mean to you if I found the bouquet? Why does it..."

Then I noticed something.

Kim Seok Jin. KSJ. The bouquet was from him? But how did he get in there? Me, Hongjoong and Seonghwa were inside there the whole time. I asked,

"How did you get it inside?"

I still didn't turn around. I can hear slow footsteps approaching me as he replied,

"Well, being the son of a rich family, a famous celebrity and a person with such a handsome face; I have my own ways to get my jobs done."

He was now standing in front of me and I was looking at the sidewalk. I then looked at him.

He was now wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with blue denims and black and white sneakers. He had the hoodie of his sweatshirt on and looked marvelous.

Wait... why am I praising him?? Taerim, what's wrong with you??

He said,

"You were blushing crazy in front of that other guy that day when he hugged you and even today. You like him, don't you?"

I flinched at his last sentence. That guy? Was he indicating at Seonghwa? And.... what did he mean by I like him? I blurted out,

"What do you mean by I was blushing crazy?"

He then pointed at one of the red roses in the bouquet and said,

"You were just 2 shades away from becoming that red. You almost looked like you were a teenage hormonal trashbin"

I smacked him in his right upper arm for calling me that. But he winced very loudly. I got afraid that I may have hurt him. I concern fully asked,

"Whoa! What happened? Are you hurt?"

He just nodded a yes. I gently helped him to an empty sidewalk bench nearby and made him sit down by force. Then I asked as I sat down beside him,

"Where?"

He took my left hand and placed it on the right side of his chest before saying,

"Here."

I got flustered by his sudden comment and again smacked him on the same upper arm after getting my hand off of his chest, which caused him to wince again. This time, he replied,

"Sorry! But my upper arm really hurts."

Pain and anguish was really evident on his face. I looked away from him to prevent myself from continuously staring at him. I then spoke as I shook my head out of disappointment and disbelief,

"How did you get into this?"

He looked at me while holding his right upper arm with his left hand as he replied,

"I strained it a little while I was practicing today. It was close to fine before but then your double smack ruined it."

Ugh! I had already started on the wrong foot since the beginning and now I did severely hurt him. I feel bad.

Foolish! Can't you do anything right? The only person who can help you out of the forced wedding is already getting hurt by you. Stop it already! Help him!

Now I stood up from the bench and said before starting to walk away from him,

"Come with me."

I could clearly hear footsteps behind me and I heard his voice ask,

"Where?"

I stopped and he clashed onto my back, but luckily I didn't fall over by losing balance on myself. He immediately took a step back.

I looked back at him, trying to lock away all the weird feelings brewing within me ever since he placed my hand on his chest and also from when he bumped into me. I showed him a small smile and said,

"Just come with me."

[A/N: Okay, looks like Taerim is slowly starting to think level-headedly around Seokjin. She should keep herself calm to be on good terms. But... what is with all the admiration for him. Can you, by any chance, guess why she is being like that?

I think some of you have the right answer in your head already. Don't worry. I will keep the suspense intact.😏

Take care of yourself please... The times are not well. I hope none of you fall sick.
