Why Me? || ksj

Your Number

You blush and hold holds for the rest of the night, yet you can't seen to get the feeling out of your mind, even as you go back home.

"Thank you for tonight Jin, I haven't done something like this in a while" you sigh and look up at the night sky. 

Also smiling, he stares at you, your face, and your eyes. Trying to ignore it, you start walking back to the bakery he dropped you off at, only to feel that same, warm sensation on your hands. Before you know it, you are spinned abruptly and positioned right in front of Jin's chest. You can smell him. It's nice. 

"I need to tell you a secret" he whispers. You can feel his breath on your cheek and it's so incredibly hot. He leans in towards your left ear, to where you can sense his lips, almost pressing against your skin. Listening closely to what he is about to tell you, you're shocked when he places a soft, gentle kiss on your cheekbone. 

It's not the type kiss that's aggressive and seductive, but rather, a kiss that feels gentle and calming. A kiss where you can feel his lips and imagine what they look like at that moment. You stay frozen until he pulls back and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear and your eyes stay locked for an endearing amount of time.

"Good night" he whispers into the cold night. You can see his breath disappear into the air. He's serious, this isn't another one of his silly pranks, which makes you blush even harder.

As he gets in the car and prepares to drive off, you see him stare at you a little bit longer. Watching his car drive off into the distance, you sigh and cup your left cheek, you are never washing your face again.

Smiling bigger than you have before, you feel something in your right hand. You open it only to find a crumpled slit of paper, one that looks like it was rushed and scribbled upon. Slowly revealing the inside, you find an assortment of numbers and right below it, a message:

Call me.

Breathing heavily now, you look back towards the street, expecting Jin to pull up and start teasing you for falling for his prank, but you only find it empty and deserted. You missed the last bus, but Jin kept on offering to drop you back home despite how far it was. You refused the offer abruptly, because you hated the thought of him knowing your background and situation. Finally giving up, he gave you money to rent a room for the night, still hesitant on leaving you alone. What a sweetheart. 

Giving your parents a quick text, you stare at your phone and the crumpled sheet of paper in your hands. Should I really call him? I don't know what to say...

Feeling brave, you quickly dial the number and hit to green button, leading you to the continuous beeps and agony. You regret your decision immediately and prepare to press the red button, ending the call. 

"Hello?" You freeze and look over to your phone.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" There's a slight sarcastic tone in his voice, but it's definitely Jin. You panic, thinking of what to say and you hustle to a bench, a place where you can comfortably talk. 

"Y-yeah- I uh-" You stutter into your phone, mentally cringing at yourself. Maybe I should just hang up. 

"Hey Min-jie" you switch your attention back to your phone and smile. He already knew. You stifle a laugh.

"I was wondering if you were actually going to call me or if you just lost the paper" he scoffs at the last words and pauses, sighing a long breath of relief, "you have no idea how long I've been staring at my phone waiting for your call"
