Not many things can scare you, itâs mostly just the dark, things that could eventually spawn in the dark and a simple âi want to talk to you.â Which might be the worst one, actually. Itâs scary because itâs bound to happen.
You werenât really trying to ignore Jungwon all day, you were⊠busy. Swimming with Yunjin and Yunah, you made sandwiches for everyone with Sunoo, tidied everything up with Sunghoon and Jay. There just wasnât much time to talk, really.
And now youâre sitting around the campfire, you between Sunoo and Yunah, Jungwon right in front of you, the fire making it hard for you to see him, but heâs there. Chatting with a couple of girls, you recognize one of them as the girl from the beach, but he doesnât seem to be having fun, his eyes are on the ground.
You didnât drink at all, maybe too anxious to do that or probably not in the mood, so while everyone is already half drunk and playing games you find yourself kind ofâŠbored. Your hair is still wet from the latest swim, and as more people get up to either play or who knows what, you just get closer to the fire, yearning for some warmth.
âBoo!â Two strong hands fall on your shoulders, and if it werenât for that you wouldâve probably fallen in the fire. You glance at the person holding you, Jungwon smiling like a maniac. He doesnt smell like alcohol, you saw him drink during the day but he probably stopped before dinner. âI almost became i double chicken bbq.â
He laughs, loud enough for some people to turn around. Actually, too loud. âAre you okay?â You almost whisper, youâre still close enough. Jungwon looks around before whispering in your ear. âItâs Mina, she wonât leave me alone no matter what i say!â You already heard that name, was it at the club? You also look around and when your eyes fall on a girl whoâs staring down at you, you immediately understand what he means.
Itâs the same girl that pushed you at the club, the same he kissed at the beach. âWell⊠if it isnât the consequences of your actions.â You get up, making him hold your hand. Weirdly enough, youâre not scared of a staring contest, so when the girl, Mina, doesnât stop, you just glare at her.
Youâve always been a girlâs girl, at least you think. Fighting for the attention of a man is cheap and not classy at all, maybe thatâs why youâve never been a relationship, no one is worth a fight, and you give up way too easily. That said, you know Jungwon canât really stand up for himself in these situations, so you just walk him out of there.
âI swear, iâm trying to stand my ground, itâs harder to do it with girls who are so..confident.â You just hum in agreement, Mina is a gorgeous girl, no wonder sheâd be full of herself, and even though youâve never really talked to her, that stare was intimidating enough. So thatâs the kind of girls Jungwon attracts. No wonder they break up with him first.
Your feet on the leaves is the only sound for a while, until the music from the campfire is no longer loud and the laughs and chatter is only a distant sound. You only realize youâre still holding hands when he grips harder on yours. You try to leave but he doesnât let you. âWhy not date her, though?â
When you ask that, Jungwon furrows his brows. âI mean, sheâs pretty and someone confident would teach you a lot.â âYou also taught me a lot.â You bite your inner cheek at that, he shouldnât say stuff like that so easily. âBut sheâs prettier.â He scoffs and rolls his eyes at your before taking a step closer.
âYou think thatâs what i care about?â You finally manage to free your hand from his grip. âCâmon, you only ever dated gorgeous girls, you wouldnât even talk to me a couple of months ago.â âIâve changed.â You didnt even realize you were stepping back so much until your back hits a tree, you gulp when he comes closer.
âAnd thatâs different, i wouldnât talk to you because you didnt want to be talked to. You kept hiding in corners and hope no one would notice you, what was i supposed to do?â Now heâs too close, closer than you were in the car, so close you fear he might hear your heartbeat. You just look at him, so confused by his words.
Youâre about to speak but this time its him who takes a step back. He runs a hand through his hair, bites his lips before turning around, you can only see his broad back now. It takes you a few seconds to stop your heart from beating so hard. And even then, you can only think about so much. He was close and then he wasnât, and now youâre missing that.
As if under a spell, your body moves on its own, your hands find his arm, making him face you once again. Words die on your lips, you look at him as if you want to say a thousand things but you just canât, instead your eyes fall on his, before going down to his mouth. You take a deep breath, feet on your tippy toes, and your hands find his jaw, not for long. Just for a few seconds, enough time to leave a peck on his lips.
It lasts even less than youâd thought, but when your eyes open again heâs just staring at your with an expression you canât quite read. Is he mad? Or maybe heâs just processing it, maybe heâs finding it ridiculous, such a short touch for someone like him. His hands are near you, just like in the car, he doesnât know what to do with them. Maybe he just finds you disgusting and you ruined his night orâŠ
And then his hand finally falls on your waist, you donât dare look up at his face or even down at his hands, you didnât think this through. You feel him move, his nose tracing your forehead, then going down to your cheek, where he leaves a kiss on the corner of your mouth.
âYou mean a lot to me, you know?â
