(COMPLETED) Avoir Peur || •WAYV Ten•

31

After the teasing time together, we ended up in silence again. When I looked at Ten, he's looking at the window were the sun starts to set. He looks so calm while watching it...

"Sung Ji-ah......."

"Hmm...?"

"Can you deliver the message of my painting without me?"

"U-Uhm........w-why?.....can't you attend like a few minutes?"

He smiled and then looked at me, the sunlight from the setting sun hits his face but he looks more dazzling to look at...

"I can't.......I'm sorry *sad smile*"

Though I understand the situation, I didn't ask for more because I might ask him a hard question that he won't like to answer that's why I chose to respect his decision. In return I gave him a smile to reassure him...

"Okay........I'll deliver the message *smile* but.........I would like someone to record a video on me so that when I came here after the event you can watch and you'll judge if the message that I'll deliver to yours is okay"

He smiled again then gestured me to come closer to him and he suddenly he embrace me in a tight but gentle hug...

"It will be perfect if you're the one to deliver it. In  fact maybe there's no need for me to watch it though I still wanted to see your face while you're having the speech"

He patted my back gently like I'm some sort of a fragile being. I hugged him back and close my eyes hoping that this day won't end fast. I still wanted to embrace him as I could...

"Sung Ji-ah......."

"Hmm...?"

"Do you still hate Winter?"

Surprised, that he suddenly opened up of my dislike on Winter season. Though I still asked him why'd he ask about it...

"Why?"

He lean his jaw on my shoulder and hug me closer. Curious, still I let him hug me closer...

"Can you promise that you won’t cry on the first fall of snow?"

In that moment, I feel like someone just hit me. Why? Why did he ask for this? Why does he want me to promise him?

"Why?"

I felt his embrace got tighter but it's still gentle. It feels like he just wanted me to swear at this very moment in front of him...

“I shall be at ease when you won’t cry on Winters”

And suddenly tears started to form from my eyes. It feels like my heart suddenly crushed. I didn't quite understand of what he said but my heart's in pain...

I cried at his arms, he caressed my back like he's saying that ‘I can cry hard but you won't cry after this’...

The day of the Art Festival

I'm preparing my things before I'll go to school. I'm here at the hospital where I stopped by early in the morning to tell him that he should wait for me and the video where I'll record my speech. It seems I need the help of Jin Suh today...

He just stared at me while I'm busy preparing my things. The art exhibit where our paintings were arranged are already ready for today. We're going to open it later when we're going to have our speech and for everyone to see it through...

I'll be lying that I'm not even  nervous at a slightest bit. While I prepared my things, my hands were shaking. My mind's been practicing for my speech later so I've been preoccupied for awhile...

"Sung Ji-ah..."

I was startled when Ten just called me. I looked at him in surprised and curious of why he suddenly called me...

"Why? Did you feel something? Does it hurt somewhere?"

"*Chuckled* No you're practically bothered right now, can you calm yourself?"

"I-Is it that obvious? *scratches head*"

"Pfft!.....yes...well it's still cute"

I feel like I just blushed from embarrassment because of his words. I looked away like I'm not bothered by it and just continued to prepare my things...

"*Chuckles* have you gotten so shy?"

"N-No? W-Well anyways I'll be back after the closing of event. Make sure to eat and drink your medicines okay?"

"*Smiled* Yes Ma'am....."

"*Blushed* anyway I'll be right back, *smile* wait for me okay?"

I was just about to leave when Ten called my name again so I turned around and looked at him...

"Grab the last cherry blossom petal for me before Winter comes *smile*"

I suddenly felt uneasy after he said that but I still nodded at him then smiled before I leave...

Somehow his words were quiet familiar and I can't even remember where did I hear it from though I just forget about it but still the curiosity keeps bugging me even when I rode the bus and on the way to school...

****

When I arrived, I quickly made my way at the art exhibit area. The school's pretty busy for just an art festival though...

Fortunately, I won't have to search for Jin Suh around the campus because when I just got to the art exhibit, I quickly spotted here from the crowd of people...

I suddenly dragged her out and told her that I needed her help...

"Yah Lee Sung Ji! Why'd you suddenly dragged me out here?"
