CHAPTER NINETEEN: THE DESTITUTION (PART THREE)

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

He stopped that instant. He rose up and looked at her face with his hands forming a barricade on both her sides. She was looking at him too. They were both catching their breaths and they were both sweaty and flushed too. He stared at her and she stared at him the same. He was glad she wasn't crying and she didn't show a terrified expression either. She was just looking lovingly at him. Then she cupped his face and smiled sweetly.

"Thank you for stopping... I really needed you to stop. Something like this... We still need to think about it. Let's not rush things okay?"

Jeonghan could not say a thing. He was thankful she did not get angry or frustrated at him. He was still feeling a bit tipsy but he could clearly see her forgiving face.

"Seunghee... I'm sorry I..."

"Nope! You don't have to. Don't worry, it was something I needed to experience. And honestly, I liked it. But to continue from here on is another question. So can you get off me now? I need to put on my clothes."

He smiled. Acting nonchalant about it again. He thought. He leaned in to kiss her one last time.

"Thank you," he said.

Seunghee smiled back at him. "I love you."

"I love you so much."

He got off her and picked up the clothes he took off her. He was embarrassed then remembering how he got them off her. She was covering herself up with the blanket when he turned back to her. She blushed. He was still hard. She could see his pants in a tight lump. She got shy and averted her eyesight.

"I think you need to have a cold bath."

"Oh... Yeah."

He noticed it himself and was humiliated. He handed her the clothes, walked to the bathroom and closed himself in. Seunghee just sighed. She was thankful. What kind of guy stops himself in the middle of making love just to reconsider the feelings of his partner and totally stopping halfway? She was blessed it was him. But she also pitied him for holding himself back for a number of times now only for her sake. Soon okay. Sooner. She said to herself.

The next day, Jeonghan told Seunghee all about it. She was persistent so he had no other choice. It was the dispute between him and her cousin but she was the one in the middle of it all. She had every right to know.

Upon learning about it, she stormed her way to see Sehun in an outrageous state. Jeonghan could not stop her. She was very angry. They searched for him. And finally, they saw Sehun standing at the door of the condo unit. With Jeonghan behind her, she quickly approached him and without a word, she gave him a very hard slap on the face.

"Why are you doing this?!" she angrily yelled at his face.

Sehun was stunned. Jeonghan had to pull her back, holding her arms tight.

"Seunghee it's alright..."

"It's not alright! Who are you to put Jeonghan into test like that? And why did you ask Chanyeol-shi to woo me?"

Jeonghan was shocked. So even Chanyeol-shi's emergence was his doing. Sehun was just silent and bowing. He had to hear what she had to say before he gave her his side of the story.

"You think I didn't know? We're the closest cousins, oppa. So I had been watchful of you from the start. I knew you would be cynical about him. I knew you would do something to try us, but not to this extent! You've crossed the line oppa. How could you do this? Did you not even think of how I would feel? You hurt me in the process. Did you not even consider me? Did you really want tear us apart?"
