17. “What are you talking about? I am very mature.” + Kyungsoo
The summer had just started, sweeping in past the blossoms of spring. One pleasant morning, you decided to take advantage and you wandered off to the park, toting along a blanket and a book.
You found an old tree with sprawling branches that provided the perfect amount of shade and set up camp. You spread out your blanket and propped yourself up against the tree, your book spread open on your lap.
The wind blew gently through the tree branches and whispered through the leaves. You let out a sigh as you relaxed in the serenity of nature.
You tried to focus on the words on the pages, but they blurred and ran together as your eyes fluttered shut and you were lost to sleep.
You stirred when you felt a sudden weight in your lap. You blinked slowly in the rays of sunlight that speared through the cover of branches. You smiled when you saw Kyungsoo had joined you on the blanket, his head resting on your lap, his large eyes closed. His arm draped across your knees, and you felt the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest against you.
You lightly ran your fingers through his hair, caressing sweetly as you went. The corners of his mouth pulled into a smile and Kyungsoo sighed softly.
If only every day were like this, you thought to yourself. You rested a hand on his shoulder, continuing your attentions to his scalp with your other.
It was then, however, that you felt the sudden pressure on the lower half of your abdomen. Why now, your inner voice whined and wailed. If only you hadn't drank all that coffee before leaving, you wouldn't be in this mess.
'Kyungsoo,' you whispered, shaking his shoulder lightly.
He was fast asleep and completely unresponsive. You tried the same tactic again, but a little louder, with the same result.
You reached mournfully for your water bottle, pushed to desperate means. You had to go to the bathroom, and judging by the increasing pressure on your bladder, it was definitely an emergency.
You unscrewed the bottle cap and let a few drops fall onto his head. He brushed them off, and rewrapped his arm around your legs, holding them captive.
'No, please wake up,' you begged. But Kyungsoo had already fallen back into a deep sleep.
You held the bottle up, closing your eyes as you tipped it over. The stream of water fell on his unsuspecting face in a long cold stream.
He spluttered awake, shooting up to sitting up straight. He looked at you in awe, his mouth agape and eyes wide. If you hadn't had to go so desperately, you would have stayed to giggle at the drops streaming down his head.
Instead, you shot off in the direction of the park washrooms.
You made it to the facilities just in time, and exited a few moments later, a wide smile on your face from the complete relief you felt. You sauntered back over to Kyungsoo.
'Do you feel better?' He glared at you bitterly. A weaker person would have melted under the intensity of his stare, but you were used to it by now. You had learned how to handle Do Kyungsoo.
You plopped down beside him as if nothing had happened, smiling obnoxiously and elbowing him when he wouldn't put his arm around you.
'Oh very mature,' Kyungsoo said, staring off into the distance now. His eyes were tiny thunderstorms, threatening to go off at any moment.
'What are you talking about?' You sighed happily and rested your head on his shoulder, sinking into him completely. 'I am very mature.'
You grabbed his hand, however unwilling he was to give it to you, playing with his fingers sweetly. You let out your cutest sigh yet and nestled your forehead against his neck. A few seconds passed before Kyungsoo gave up.
He huffed not quietly before wrapping his arm around you and holding you tightly. You felt him kiss the top of your head.
'I love you,' Kyungsoo said softly.
You infused as much sugar as you could into a smile just for him.
'But you're still going to pay for that later. Don't let your guard down.'
You swallowed hard and tried your best to pretend his words didn't spark a trace of fear. You smiled, lightly taking his chin in your hand and bringing his face down to yours.
He didn't protest as you kissed him, but you only hoped it would be enough to persuade Kyungsoo to forget about revenge.
