~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~10~

I kept on pointing to random items and waited for Minji to run back to my room. She took the chance and flew back upstairs and I sighed in relief.

"Yooh? Is this what you need?"

"Yes! Now I'll just go to my room and read that book, because I got bored at school today."

"Sure..?- Oh wait, can we watch a movie sometime?"

"I.. guess? Sure!"

He gave me a thumbs up and went back to sit on the couch and fix some stuff on his phone. Thank god she ran upstairs on time. I quickly rushed to my room and saw Minji sitting on my bed, looking extremely angry. Just great...

"Kim. Yoo. Hyeon."

"L-Look, I'm sorry I said that, but it just came out like out of nowhere a-and I didn't think before saying whatever I said then and-"

She shut me up by pulling me by my neck and giving me a long, deep kiss, completely surprising me. She pulled me towards my bed and now I was on top of her. I pulled out to take a breath and she just stared into my eyes. I saw that she was still upset.

"Jiu, I really am sorry for-"

I didn't finish my sentence again and I got pulled into yet another kiss. I managed to get myself off of her grip and pin her hands above her head. I watched her from above as I was sitting on top of her thighs, trying to fix my breathing while visibly being taken aback from her actions.

"Woah- Jiu, just how mad are you right now?"

"So mad that I want to put cockroaches inside your pillow while you're sleeping and choke you until you stop breathing."

"That's a cool.. answer."

"Yoohyeon, why didn't you just tell him..?"

"I just.. I didn't want to disappoint him. He thinks you did that thing and if he finds out it was me, he'd be so shocked.. And he doesn't like your family and I know he will get very upset if he finds out I'm literally going out with the sister of his biggest enemy."

She was going to speak but shut her mouth and just looked at me in shock.

"Can you repeat that again?"

"Repeat what?"

"What you said about me."

"I didn't say anything though?"

"You did, you said something about me."

I had to think hard and remember what I just said until it hit me... or not?

"About you being the sister of my brother's biggest enemy..?"

"No you fucking dumbass! *sigh* If you forgot about it, it means you didn't really mean it."

I watched her gently push me away and she moved a bit towards the other side of the bed and started watching videos on her phone. What the hell was she talking about? I didn't know what to do so I just got up the bed and went downstairs to grab a bottle of water to cool off.

"Hey Yooh! Look at this little idiot."

I turned to Yoojung and saw him watching something on his phone. I grabbed the bottle from the fridge and looked at his phone screen. He was watching those reality shows that were pretty popular now.

"What am I supposed to look at?"

"This guy. He was talking to a girl about how much he likes her as a person and mentioned that he would date her and when she asked him to date, he said it was all an example! I know dumb people exist but he is next level."

oh...

"Yoojung. You are so smart."

"Huh? Why do you think so-"

I left my water bottle with him and gave him a sudden hug, leaving him in trance. I ran back upstairs and abruptly went inside my room, making Minji glance at me for a second, but switch to playing on her phone again.

"Jiu, I need to ask you something."

"Not now Yoohyeon, I'm playing a gam-"

I closed the door shut and locked it. She switched her gaze back to me and stared at me in confusion. I walked towards my bed and sat on top of her thighs again, making her drop her phone on the spot, paying attention only to me.

"I like you."

I watched her try to hide her smile from my sudden confession and avoid my gaze from shyness, but I held her jaw and made her stare into my eyes.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I saw the smile finally forming on her face as her eyes were now shining as bright as the sun. She placed her left hand on my cheek and caressed it. She then pulled my neck with her right hand into a gentle kiss that lasted for a nice minute, until we both pulled out and stared at eachother with joyful smiles on our faces and happiness inside our eyes.

"I do."
