Hold Me Tight

Make up

Soobin's POV

I forgot to breathe for a while, as I saw his face. His hair was slightly messy because of the wind, the tip of his nose turned into a light pink shade which was hella cute, his bottom lip was quivering to say something but he said nothing. He was standing still as he looked confused and sad. I wanted to hold him right away but this awful lady wouldn't let me go. I opened my mouth as I jerked off her hand.

"In woo I-it's-" - I wanted to say what happened but he cut me off.

He didn't even listen to my explanations. I called him many times but he rushes to the main road. I felt so bad for him, for his condition. His face was enough to tell me that he waited for me a lot, on this cold night.

It's been three days, three long days since I haven't met him. I called him many times but he didn't answer. At first, I thought he was probably angry at me because of the waiting so I didn't bother him much. but as time passes I thought there must be something wrong. He didn't even talk to Shi won, his best friend. So we four decided to meet him at his house after school. I wanted to go alone but I bet he'd kick me the moment he sees me. I pressed the calling bell before hiding behind Shi won who was already pissed at me for God knows why.

After pressing the bell for the 3rd time, he opened the door. His eyes were bloodshot red, the nose was red which indicates that he is sick. I wanted to surprise him with my usual jokes but as soon as I saw his condition I went to him, placing my hand over his head. He was shocked himself.

"In woo, your fever is...so high. Why didn't you called me?" - I said with a frown. I was expecting a pissed off face or a slap. I know it's hard to wait for someone on a cold night. I know he's sick because of me. If I cared a little this wouldn't happen. He didn't slap me or anything, instead, 

"I didn't wanted to be a bother" - He said in a low voice, making me frown.
"Bother? Why would you be a bother? I'd never think of you like that. You're my best friend. Even if I had to die for you I'd gladly accept that." - I said as I placed both of my hands in his face.
"Yeah why'd you be a bother to us? We are friends forever right?" - Minseok said as he placed his hand on In woo's shoulder.

"Well can we go inside? It's freezing outside" - Shi won asked, made me and Minseok frown.

In woo's POV

I forgot all the grudges as soon as he put his hands on my face. Warmth spread from head to toe by his warm hands. I once thought of calling him back but I couldn't. My heart wasn't ready to face him yet.

I welcomed everyone as they came in. I went to the kitchen to make dinner but Shi won stopped me. He ordered me to take a rest as he was going to make dinner for all of us. I went to the living room only to found Soobin sitting on the couch with Minseok, bickering, and joking at the same time.

"Why are standing there? Come here." - Soobin said as he saw me standing at the door frame. He pats on the couch, indicating me to sit beside him. When I sit beside him, he took my hand.
"I'm sorry. I was at my friend's birthday. I swear I was about to text you but because of him, I couldn't. Sorry again" - He said, feeling as guilty as ever. As always I forgave him but...

"This time you've made a great mistake. It won't be that easy to forgive you but I'll forgive you if you promise me something." - I said in a fatherly voice.
"Anything" - he said with a huge grin.

"Promise me you'll only date one person at a time. No time-pass or breaking anyone's heart. promise me you'd date one person for at least 1 month." - I said what I wanted to say for so long. I like him a lot, can't see him with anyone else with but I can't let him break other's heart so easily. At first, he'd date someone for months. But now, he doesn't even date anyone for 1 day. I know he'd never fall for me so why not make him a good boy.

"It's a hard task to do but I'll keep the promise." - He said with a grin as if this doesn't matter to him at all, "So did you forgive me?" - he asked

"Hmm ok" - I said with a grin before putting my head on his lap. He took the blanket from under the couch and placed it on me. I dunno why but I felt so much happy that I couldn't describe it. I closed my eyes, wanting to stop the time as we cuddled.
