Melody of My Heart [slow update]

CHAPTER FOUR

I jumped at his voice, "O-oppa..." I stuttered. "What are you doing here? I thought you were busy." His eyes were on me then at Jiyong then back at me. He walked towards us, my eyes never leaving his. In those few seconds I was in complete trance. All the feelings during those days, weeks, months that I haven't seen him came rushing to me.

I miss him so much. The urge to run to his arms and nuzzle into his chest and breathe his scent is too overwhelming. I miss holding on to his arm, pinching his cheek and riding on his back when I'm too tired to walk...like I am now, or simply just be with him.

I took in all of him. His tall stature that always make me feel small and vulnerable yet so protected. His broad shoulders that make him look so manly. His hair was a messy brown. Sharp and distinct features of his face. His eyes that never lose their piercing gaze. And his lips that were now in a grim line.

He stopped between Jiyong and me but his eyes were still on me, like Jiyong was not even there. Then he pulled me towards my house.

"K!" Jiyong shouted behind us. Seunghyun oppa stopped and turn around to face Jiyong, hiding me behind him. His hold on my wrist tightened, "Thank you for bringing her home." He said. He didn't even wait for Jiyong to answer and walked away still dragging me behind him.

He let my hand go as we entered the door. I locked it and the moment the lock clicked I turned around and he was just inches away from me. Because of the height difference, he was looking down and I was looking up at him. His face still not showing any emotion. 'Is he mad?' I asked myself.

My heart started beating faster. I have so many things to tell him but I don't know where to start, I really miss him. The silence stretched between us and still not a single word from him. We were just staring at each other. Silence between us is usually comfortable that we need no words to fill the space. But this time it's different, maybe because we haven't seen each other for so long. I haven’t been away from him this long ever.

I felt the need to explain, "How long were you waiting outside? You know where I hide the spare key, why didn't you get in?" still nothing, so I continued, "You see...my phone died when you called...then he...and he...offered to give me a ride home that's why..." my voice was just enough for him to hear.

"When I called you and you didn’t answer I called Mika. You said you'll be with your friends so I thought you're with her but she said you haven't called her." his voice was deep yet flat. There wasn’t any hint of emotion in his voice. My heart started beating faster than it already has then I felt a pang of guilt hit me 'What am I guilty about?'

I bit my lower lip and look down. "I can't contact Mia..." I explained as I played with my fingers. "Besides it's your fault...we were supposed to celebrate together." It was barely a whisper. I stopped, hoping he didn't hear me. I don't want him thinking that I was too disappointed.

Then nothing, I was about to walk away when he spoke, "Is...that guy...is he...your boyfriend?" My head shot up to him "Oppa he's not...he's a...friend...I met him a while ago, he just helped me out. And where would I find the time to look for a boyfriend?! Huh?" I was looking at his eyes searching for any signs that he might doubt me. Now I’m getting mad. Why would he think Jiyong's my boyfriend when I don't even have time to see him, when the reason why I'm trying so hard and chose YGU is him, when the person I wanted to celebrate with when I got accepted was him, when the person I like is him.

He ruffled my hair, "Go get change" he smiled. "I'll be on the living room. I bought some movies and cake." I blushed, how can he have this effect on me. The tension a while ago was gone like it never happened.

I skipped to my room and winced from the pain. I didn't notice the splinters on my feet from walking around until now. It ignored the pain, thinking of being next to Seunghyun oppa. I hurriedly went to the bathroom and washed up. I got change into my PJs and got stuff ready for the movie.

The movie started and I sat down beside him a blanket over me. I was in cloud nine, so happy to spend a night like this again with him. I can't seem to wipe of the smile off my face. Then I received a text,

     FR: Mika

            Kalie! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I miss you!

            Where the hell are you? Seunghyun oppa has been looking for you.

            Did you tell him already? You should tell him now! And I mean NOW!!!

I glanced at his side and he was too absorbed with the movie but I hid it from his view anyway.

     TO: Mika

            Thanks Mia! I'm with him watching a movie at home right now. I haven't told him yet.

            I guess I won't tell him now yet. I just don't wanna ruin the mood. I miss you too!!!

"Someones happy. Shouldn't you be crying right now?" Seunghyun said cocking an eyebrow. I looked at the TV and the protagonist was crying, I usually easily cry at scenes like this, I easily cry at everything. That's why he noticed I wasn't paying attention to the movie.

He got my phone from me trying to see who I was texting. "Oppa! Give it back!" he was trying to keep it away from my reach lying down on the couch hand stretched away from me. I was on top of him trying to get it. "Would you rather spend your time smiling at your phone than watch a movie with me right now?" he said with a pout. "It's just Mika asking if I'm with you ok." He relaxed a little and I finally got the phone and I stuck my tongue out to him.

He was looking at me and I quickly sat up embarrassed at our position, the sudden movement only made the pain on my feet worse and I winced. "Something wrong?" he said in a worried tone. "It's nothing oppa." I smiled at him. I don't want to worry him anymore. I have done enough of that this day.

I straightened up and directed my attention to the movie. I could feel him watching me boring holes on my face, heat started to invade my cheeks and I turned slightly pink. He looked away and I exhaled, I didn't even know I was holding my breath. Simple moments that usually was comfortable is now starting to feel a bit awkward. Is the thought of confessing getting in to me?

I didn't realize how tired I was my eyelids started to get heavy. I was fighting it but sleep is slowly pulling me in, I was between dreamland and reality, my head started falling. He noticed and moved closer leaning my head on his shoulder. His touch sending little tingles within me, slightly waking me up. "I haven't got the chance to tell you. Congratulations!!! You really did great. I'm glad you got in." he said while stroking my hair. "ummm." was all that came out from me. Then I let the darkness take over me.
