Hold Me Tight

Small friendly talks

Soo Bin's POV

''Where have you been?'' - He asked me as he put the damp cloth in a polybag and began to dry his hair with a little towel. Why did he have to drama and wet his clothes? Someday It'll be all exposed, right?

''OH um PE teacher said to go to the dining. let's go.'' - I didn't answer cause I didn't want him to think me and Ae Cha are something. You know, jealousy and all?

Both of us got ourselves out of our room and were now heading toward the dining hall. While we were on our way, we saw Min Seok and Shi won walking toward us. A snarl brought onto my face when I saw Shi Won grabbing In Woo by the shoulder and walking ahead of us, getting farther and farther from me and Min Seok. I felt jealousy eat me alive when I saw them having a chit-chat with an ear-to-ear grin on both of their face.

Man, why doesn't he smile like that for me more frequently than he does with Shi Won? I keep myself busy all the time searching for the best joke to make him laugh his butt off but still, I lack behind the god damn Shi Won. 

''Aren't you hurting yourself?'' - Min Seok said and I snapped out of my thoughts. What the fuck did he mean by that? Can he sense my jealousy or something?

''huh! what?'' - I asked him in utter confusion.

''You're thinking. doesn't it hurt?'' - He said while burst into a laugh alongside earning a glare from me.

''Now that's the lamest shit I've ever heard.''

''Good that you're back to yourself. I was worried.'' - He said while wiping his non-existing tears, ''By the way, I have been thinking something too?''

''What?'' - I said, a little confused. Well, he never says anything about his thinking or dreams because he thinks it's boring to tell others what they think or dream, just a waste of time, then why's he telling me? There has to be a good reason.

''I think Shi Won and In Woo looks pretty good together. They always-''

''NO. THEY DON'T'' - I cut him off with a growl. They don't look good together at all. Well, in my eyes. Both of them have a huge height difference (I and Shi Won are the same height) then...then both of them are smart shits. Ah Fuck I quit.

''Why are you working up?'' - He asked with a wicked smirk.

''N-othing'' - I was quick to reply before turning my head to the other side, hiding the small tint of pink shade across my face.

''You like him?'' - He asked me while nudging me on the elbow.

''W-Who'' - Ok, I tried to make him confused with asking this but...

''Don't try to make me fool. It's either Shi Won or In Woo, but I assume it's definitely In Woo. I have been seeing you lately and it feels like you do have something for him.''

''Is that much showing?'' - I asked him out of curiosity if it's much showing or not. If it is then I'll have to keep it low, I don't want my baby get bullied by the crazy fangirls of mine. 

''Well, I'm quite an observant person. So, maybe I'm the only one who caught it up. Back to my question, do you like him or not?''

''What if I say yes? Won't you feel disgusting?'' - I asked him with a rather cold face I sometimes wear. I have to make sure if he'll feel disgusting or not.

''Why would I? We're are friends. No matter what you are and who you are, you'll still be my friend. It was a cheeky line but it's true. I won't judge you so rest assure boy. So, when are you planning to open up to him?'' Hey, I haven't said yet I like him, Ah forget it.

''I was thinking about telling him after the trip.''

''Why not telling him tonight or sometime sooner? You don't know what comes in between you two?''

''Y-You know I-I-I'm a bit S-hy'' - Before I could finish it, he burst into another series of smiles while pointing at my face.

''Now that was gross'' - He laughed even more while clutching his stomach.

''You're gross and stop laughing''

In Woo's POV

''We are a little far from them. Now tell me.'' - Shi Won asked me with a concerned look on his face. He always manages to read my face even though I try to hide it hardly. I blushed a little before blurting out everything that happened between me and Soo Bin in our room. I couldn't control myself as I was feeling super happy thinking that Soo Bin might like me back too, Or not? Whenever this thought came to my mind, my smile seems to take his leave, making me extra sad.

''I think he...'' - He stopped. I waited for his thought eagerly. When my passion seemed to run out I nudged him, a little hard though, ''He's a pervert.''

''No, he's not. If he is then he'd march into the bathroom and saw my...my.. but he didn't, dud!'' - I defended my boy. No way he can be a perv.

''Ok, I got it. He likes you than from what I've heard and seen. I've been observing him for the past few days, he hasn't dated anyone. But don't confess to him yet. He can be a prankster and try to humiliate you. I never seem to trust that guy for once.''

''Then what should I do?'' - I asked my romance master for a solution which he gave and I frown.

''Wait for him to approach you first.''

''I have been 'waiting' for him for like 4 years like you said.'' - I said, the gap between my brows has long gone as I frown deeply to him. I looked at him with utter disbelief. I've waited for him all this time and I still have to wait for more, what kind of bullshit is this. Well, It is not like I have enough confidence to confess to him either so let's just do what my master says to me.

''Keep patient, honey.''

I huffed in defeat. He chuckled before grabbing my hand and walk toward the table where Min and Bin were sitting.
