~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~8~

I was watching TV when Minji walked downstairs to position herself right next to me while placing her head on my lap. She was playing a game with Bora and that reminded me of our plan. Siyeon and Bora were still ignoring eachother, so we really had to do something.

"Hey Jiu? Are we gonna do that thing with the plan?"

"Don't they already know about it though?"

"I don't think so."

"Wasn't like the whole school looking at us weirdly because of that plan?"

"*chuckle* They thought it was something else, not that."

"Really? What did they think it was?"

"Uh, it's better for you to not know if you don't know already."

"Why don't you want to tell me? Is it something about us?"

She's doing that again.. I could see her trying to hide her smile while saying all of that. She knows damn well what the reason was, but wanted me to say it. Not this time Jiu, not this time.

"I wonder. Do you want it to be about us?"

I thought this was the perfect moment for me to backfire on her own questions. She then switched her gaze to stare at me and turned her phone off. Should I be scared...

"And what would you do if I say yes?"

Oh god... She made it even worse for me now. I was trying my best to not look at her, but she moved herself to sit on my lap instead, staring right through my soul with her deadly gaze again.

"Because I definitely would want it to be about us. It would completely ruin our plan otherwise, would it?"

She placed her hands on my neck and they were so warm because of her phone. I gulped and looked to the side and just nodded. She used her thumb to move my head back to face her and now she was very close. Very. Close.

"I didn't catch that. Can you repeat?"

God, I don't think I can handle it anymore. I pushed her to the side but she still had her grip on me so now I was lying on top of her, an inch away from her face. Why's this getting worse and worse the more I try to run away! But then I thought for a second...

What exactly was I running away from?

Minji silently coughed and let go of me before this became weirder than it already was. I pulled myself away and saw how red her face had gotten. So now you're shy one after doing all of that!?

"I-I'll go call Siyeon and you should call Bora. Tell me how it went."

She then got up and walked upstairs to my room, leaving me alone. I was still dazed by what just happened. What. The. Fuck. I hit my face with a pillow to stop my memories from coming back and dialed Bora's number to ask her to come over for tonight.
