If Only...

Part Two

She merrily skipped out the room, trying to irritate me. Thanks a lot Asano.

“Hey Jeonhee, weren’t you gonna say something to me earlier?” he questioned as we both headed to where his belongings were.

“Oh… yeah I was going to say, break a leg.” I lied. A very lame lie, I say.

“Really?” he laughed, “You said it was very important, you sounded serious.”

“Yeah, that was it. It’s important to me.” I blurted out without much thought.

“Alright, I won’t force you to say what you really wanted to say.” He winked as he was fixing his bag.

He knew I lied, great. Well he was nice enough to not force me to say it.

I just have to say, the whole ‘winking’ was put in to slow motion. It repeated a few times in my head. He actually did that? I mean, it wasn’t the first time he did that but today he did it in a very lovely and cute way. He seldom acts cute.

While watching him, I instinctively sat down on the wooden floor and just observed him. Yunho took off his bow tie, blazer and loosened his polo afterwards. He also unbuttoned the cuffs of his sleeves, folding it half way on his arms and gulped on his bottle. Yes, I was looking at him intently.

He turned his attention to me after tidying himself, “Where’s your bag?”

“It’s over there.” I directed his view to where my things lay.

“Aren’t you going to get it?” he wondered.

“Nah, I won’t. Besides I have my valuables safe here in my pocket.” I stated, but he ignored me and said, “I’ll go get it for you.” He instantly stood up and ran towards it. I wasn’t even able to stop him…

Tsk, tsk. Yunho, Yunho…

“Here you go.” He handed over my bag while panting lightly.

“Thank you.” I sheepishly said.

Yunho sat right beside me and mentioned, “You look lovely today.”

I gulped. Why are you doing this to me Jung Yunho? Why are you making me melt inside? 

“Oh…” was all that I could say.

“Today only…” he emphasized.

That is when I realized he was just kidding. So I softly slapped his arm, “What do you mean today only?!”

“Ouch. Why? I am just saying the truth that you look better right now.”

“It means that I look unattractive on normal days?” I got insulted.

“Yes.” He answered shortly.

I slapped him hard this time, “Well you look very horrible today!” I tried to rebut.

“I was just joking Jeonhee, don’t take it too seriously.” He laughed.

His cute laugh actually saved him from getting hurt even more. He should be grateful.

“But really, you looked so charming on that stage.” He continued.

I just gazed at him, not knowing what to reply.

“It’s like you were grown up.” Yunho shot me a smile.

Still had nothing to say…

“You’re so childish, but today you were a lady.” He complimented.

“Yeah right.” I uttered.

“I’m not kidding this time.” He reassured.

I sighed, “Don’t forget me when you become famous, okay Jung Yunho?” I changed the subject, because his praises were already constricting me. I am slowly dying here, twitterpated by his words.
