Us Again | Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 20

I placed down the wine bottle on the table and sat across him. He lifted his wine glass and grinned.

"Cheers?", both corners of my mouth lifted in ecstasy as I lifted my glass too.

"Cheers!", We clinked our glasses before taking a small sip at the same time.

It has been an hour since that thing at the sink happened, and I haven't been completely sane since but I guess I'm still trying to. I'm not sure if feels the same way too since he's just so chill.

We spent almost an hour cooking, but it was mostly him since he won't let me because he said I have a wound when it's just a small cut, but it was still worth it, seeing him cook for the first time.

But actually, the reason why it took us alot of time cooking is because it didn't really went out that well, I mean I didn't believe that someone can easily mess up a food until earlier that I saw him mess up alot so he had no choice but to be helped.

But it's still cute, I never knew I could fall in love with him even more just by seeing him do so.

"Are you sure you're not eating?", He asked and I shook my head.

"I'm okay.", I gave him a reassuring smile and he just pouted. See? He's extremely cute.

"I told you, it's not that bad.", I chuckled.

"I'm not eating because I think it's bad."

"Then why? You know how uneasy it feels when you're the only who's eating.", He raised his brows while talking with his pouty lips.

"I know but I'm really full. I seriously ate alot."

"What did you eat?"

"The failed dishes.", I creased my forehead when his face suddenly dulled.

"Really?", I nodded and hummed in response. It's a common thing for me to eat the dishes that doesn't pass my satisfaction, everything has to be perfect when it comes to serving the costumers.

"So you just enjoy eating. This wine is enough for me now.", I then took a sip of my wine again.

"Are you sure it's okay to eat those?", My brows furrowed. He surely does have alot of questions.

"Yes, why?"

"I mean could've you have just threw them away then make yourself a new and not failed one?", He nibbles his lower lip while looking at me with his eyebrows meeting.

I shook my head. "It would be a waste, and besides I'm not making poison, it's okay even if it's failed a little.", I delightedly smiled at him, reassuring that it's really alright.

I can clearly sense that he is worried and that really made me feel so fluttered. Having someone to worry for you like this in a good way could be one of the best thing that you can have.

After that long chat with him and later came to some agreement, we decided to go home.

Jeonghan drove me to my apartment and now I'm already getting out from his car, but I gasped when he was already and suddenly infront of me.

How did he get here so fast?
I remained silent as I stared at him waiting for him to say something.

"Why aren't you saying anything?", He asked. I immediately looked around just to avoid his eyes.

Come on! Why can't I come up with anything to say? After talking to him for a long time, how can I be this awkward again?

With my shivering body, I waved my hands. "Uhm-B-Bye!", I took a step to the side before walking past him.

"Wait!", I stopped and slowly looked back to face him. "May I walk you back up to your apartment?", I bit my lower lip as he walks closer to me.

"I won't take 'no' as an answer.", He whispered huskily on my ear causing me to shiver more and have goosebumps all over my body.

"Now come on!", His tone changed into an excited one real quick that I'm not sure what to think anymore. He grabbed my hands and intertwined it with his.

One reason on why and why you should not date a mischievous guy is that he'll make you suffer in so many ways like this and it would be your choice wether to keep him or not.

And for me, its so obvious that I'm completely hooked by him that turning back would be impossible.

Walking on the way to my apartment door wasn't that bad, actually it kinda felt soothing. That feeling when you both really don't talk much but by just being connected, you feel so relieved.

"We're here.", I said but contemplated on what to do next.

Should I let go of our hands now? What would happen if I do so?

But before I could even come up with a much better thing to do, he already lets go. I looked at my hands that was left mid air but immediately placed it on my side when I realized that he was still there. I slowly looked up to meet his eyes and when I did, he immediately gave me a bright beam.

"Call me when you need something."

I suddenly remembered something.

"I'll go now.", He waved his hand before turning around and was about to walk away but I stopped him.

"Jeonghan.", He faced me. "I have something to ask you.", He raised his brows. I took a deep breath before parting my lips again.

"Uhm-Uh it's n-not really s-something important-"

I'm contemplating again. This isn't that embarrassing right? or is it?

Ughh! Come on! I can do it!

"Uhmm, the other night w-when you were in Italy...", I looked at him and he was just patiently waiting for me to finish. "About the uh-that phone call where you suddenly ended it-"

"Ah right!", My face lit up when he finally gets what I was talking about."I'm really sorry about that night.", I quickly shook my head.

"No no, it's okay. No biggie.", I forged a smile. To be honest, until now it's still lingering inside my mind and I don't know how to wash it away if not asking him directly.

"Still I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to drop it. It's because you called on my old phone and it kinda broke on that day, that day when I needed it the most."

My heart began to pound so fast as he just stared at me, piercing through my soul. The way he said those words left me in a rollercoaster of emotions. It seemed short but it meant a lot to me.

"I-It's really o-okay.", Were the only words that came out from my mouth.

"Your should go inside now, it's cold here.", His mouth curved into a smile. I must be going insane! Why do I suddenly want to kiss him again after seeing his lips move?

I should better go inside quickly before I do something embarrassing.

"Y-Yes. I'll g-go inside n-now."

Stop the crazy thoughts! STOP THE CRAZY THOUGHTS!!

I didn't know battling with your own mentality would be this hard. I just wish to go inside already but both my heart and mind says otherwise, that it want to stay here longer with him.

"I-I'll really go n-now.", I took a brief glance at his face before pressing the passcode with my trembling hands, but before I could even finish, he grabbed my other hand making me face him again and pulled me really close before cupping my cheeks.

"One last time.", He whispered before closing his eyes and leaned closer, pressing our lips together for the second time today.

I guess I wasn't the only one who wants it again. I smiled in between the kiss and trailed my hands up to his back.

Maybe sometimes, asking won't hurt.
