Twist Of Fate
Chapter 55
Winning The Toad

The car was parked at the crammed parking lot. It seemed to be more crammed around this time as it was evening. But you figured why.

A lot of the parents had come to either pick up their child, or to explore the festivities with their kids.

The pair of you were here for the latter part. You wanted to see the park with Ki Joon and you couldn't wait to see him. You had missed him so much.

Your eyes drifted out to Yongguk, who was walking with long and fast strides, marching towards Ki Joon's nursery's tent, making you wonder why he was fast.

He seemed to be in a sudden hurry. Maybe he too had been a bit nervous for the boy. He just doesn't show it, unlike you, who couldn't hide it. You couldn't appear calm, when it comes to Ki Joon.

You hurried in your steps and made it to his side. Your eyes drifted up to him, but his eyes were directed at front.

Yongguk stopped abruptly, making your steps come to a sudden halt. His eyes were focused on someone.

"They are here too." He said.

Your eyes drifted to where he was looking at and you stiffened, when you saw the Choi family in front of you.

The little boy Beom Soo was trying to snatch a candy floss from a young girl, whom you figured was his older sister. The sister had a frown, she shoved the boy back and seemed to yell at him.

You clenched your fists, feeling your anger surfacing. You didn't feel like seeing that family. Your hand moved up somehow and you grasped Yongguk's hand. You felt him tense next to you and then his eyes wandered down to yours.

"Maybe we should take another direction, go past the other tents, over there." You pointed with your eyes, but Yongguk stared into your eyes with a blank look. "Uh-what is it?" You asked, when you noticed his stiff posture and he was quiet.

Somehow, he had a hard look on his face. he was hard as granite and your brows furrowed in confusion.

Then your eyes drifted down, and you realized how you were tugging his hand firmly. You quickly retrieved your hand as though he was fire and you got burned by him.

You rubbed your palm over your thigh, feeling your skin tingling and burning- a different sensation. Your face slowly heated up, becoming flushed and warm. You didn't know why you did that.

"Just ignore them." He finally said.

"I don't want to look at them." You said and gritted your teeth.

He clenched his jaw, but you noticed the corner of his lip twitch. Did he try to laugh? Did he think this was amusing?

Your eyes widened a bit and your lips parted. He stifled his expression in a second, looking hard as stone again.

Then he did something unexpected that made your jaw drop to the ground. He grabbed your hand in his.

He didn't just hold your hand, he laced your fingers. His long and slender fingers slid past yours, and they fitted there perfectly somehow although your hand was a lot smaller than his.

A nice tingling feeling started to creep up inside you, it formed around your heart, it was a warm tingle, sensation, rush, heath, you didn't know what to call it, it made you feel giddy.

Your body tensed instinctively. Your eyes shifted to your hands and you wondered if this was how he felt, when you took a hold of his hand just a moment ago? He too froze then.
