Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Chapter Fourty-One

About thirty minutes into the movie, I noticed that it wasn't scary at all.
Sunwoo noticed when I realized this and began snickering at me; I shot him a dirty side eye in return.
"You know I wouldn't willingly choose to watch a scary movie," He assured me. "I'll get more scared than you would."
Still feeling betrayed, I reply, "While that's true, it's not an excuse."
He chuckled, taking my reaction as a joke. "Just watch the movie first, then you can be mad at me after."
I can't even be fake-angry at him for two seconds...

The further we got into the movie, I realized that it was actually a romance movie. There were a lot of romantic scenes between the two main characters that I couldn't help but cringe at.
That's not how it actually goes...
But I couldn't help but begin to fantasize about experiencing those moments with Sunwoo, as unrealistic at they seem.
I looked over at Sunwoo and I immediately noticed something different
Was he always this close to me?
Then, I remembered what he said when we went to sing karaoke with everyone that one day.

~"Let it just happen naturally."~

I froze as I started to panic about what could happen in the next hour, I wasn't even paying attention to the movie anymore.
Wait, why am I panicking? I keep forgetting that we've already held hands before, we haven't technically hugged but he did carry me to the nurses office that one time I was unconscious so we've been in close proximity........but we haven't kissed yet.
I begin to panic even more at the thought of us kissing.

Now it was obvious that Sunwoo was moving closer to me, his eyes still on the tv. His head was now slowly leaning towards me and I tried my best not to stare so I don't make it awkward in case he...
Not even a second later, he had turned his head to face me. I immediately looked at him and we locked eyes. My face became hot and I knew it turned red because his face was literally right infront of me.
He starts leaning in even closer and closer, eyes peering into my soul, when he suddenly reaches over for the blanket laying beside me. He sat back where he was sitting and layed out the blanket on himself.
I stared at him, completely confused at what just happened. I looked away before he could say anything about it.
I'm sure he didn't mean it, he was just trying to reach the blanket...
But if he wanted the blanket, he could've just asked me. Maybe he didn't want to distract me from the movie. But he didn't have to stare into my eyes. Maybe it was a simple mistake, an instinct maybe? No, that's not normal. Did he want to make a move but was just scared? Or did he purposely do that to tease me?
I looked at him again so I could reach a final conclusion.
He could've easily gone for it, the opportunity was perfect even if he didn't plan to do on our date.....coward.
I took this as a challenge. How often is it when we're alone with no public eye in risk of seeing us? Physical affection isn't something we feel like we need to do in order to show others that we like each other, but I'm sure it's still be nice to experience.
I took a few minutes to think of a plan to subtlety make a move. I don't think I'd go as far as kissing for my first attempt, so I'll go with simply laying my head in his shoulder.

The mood of the movie had become more serious so I took this opportunity to make my move. I was sitting with my legs on the couch, bent with my knees facing outwards. I knew I had to somehow face my knees towards Sunwoo so it could be easier for me.
The table with the snacks wasn't at an arms reach so I got up and grabbed a random bag.
As I sat back down, I sat a little closer with my knees facing him and, without hesitation, I layed my head on his shoulder. I kept my eyes on the screen to make it seem more normal so I couldn't see his reaction, but he did jump a little. I opened my bag of chips and began eating them. Noticing how he hasn't moved, probably from shock, I asked him if he wanted some.
He was gaping at me with his mouth slightly opened. I didnt show any reaction to this, despite wanting to burst out laughing.
He scoffed, then chuckled.
"Sure."
Sunwoo moved his arm that I was laying on, forcing me to move. Not giving me time to react, he moved his arm behind me and around my head. He grabbed the bag from my hands but instead of fixing his arm back to where it was, he just grabbed the bag with his other hand and kept his arm on my shoulder.
D-did this...guy...really...just...
I smirk appeared on his face, clearly content with himself.
I shook my head in disbelief. Without saying anything, I decide to lay my head back on his shoulder and enjoy the rest of the date.

The movie finally ended and the end credits were rolling. Neither of us moved, probably because we didn't want to separate.
I could pretend like I'm asleep...
"It's about time."
We both jumped and frantically separated as my brother made a snarky comment on his way to the bathroom next to his room upstairs.
"Jihoon!" I yelled out but he had already closed the door.
"I'm sorry about that." I say to Sunwoo apologetically.
Sunwoo let out an awkward laughter.
"Don't worry about it."
There a moment of silence. Not wanting to endear any more embarrassment, I spoke.
"Well, it is getting kinda late."
"Right, I should start heading out then."
We both get up and I walk him to the door.
Before he was completely outside, he turned to me and said with a smile,
"I had a great time tonight."
"Me too." I said while smiling back.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"I was actually gonna make a move first, but I kinda chickened out." He said shyly.
"Yeah...I thought that's what happened."
"But I'm glad you did it. I knew I couldn't after that failed attempt."
I began to feel a bit bad remembering how I called him a coward. "I'll let you try again next time we're together, how does that sound?" I suggested hoping it'll fix his confidence.
He contemplated for second.
"I don't see why not, I'll try to be a bit more prepared then."
We share a laughter, then said our goodbyes. I watch him as he walks away until he's out of my sight.
