The Half to my Whole

Chapter 35

JENNIE

Seoul, South Korea

8:30 AM

     Motherfucker.

I heard Leo mutter under his breath.

Shadowy silhouettes of persons were standing on the doorway, scaring the hell out of us. I was frozen, almost like a statue and my scared gaze never leaving the figures but the creaking sound from the door snapped me out of it and I snap my eyes close then proceeded to bury my face yet again in the crook of my lover's neck, my hands went up to cover both of my ears. I felt Leo removing one of his hand that's supporting my back while the other one stayed firmly on my back.

I refuse to open my eyes due to fear, I couldn't even stop the whimper.

"Yah! Kwang Soo, Ji Hyo! Don't scare us like that, we were seconds away at throwing stuffs at you!!!" Leo suddenly yelled.

My eyes suddenly shot open at what Leo said and I turn my head at the silhouette's direction. 

The figures slowly take a few steps towards us, the creaking sound made by the floor at every step they take made me feel nervous, but when they were close enough that I could see their features made me relax a bit.

Relief washed over Kwang Soo and Ji Hyo's features as their body visibly relax and they exhale heavily.

"Thank God it was you guys, you should've told us immediately or else we would---" Kwang Soo's eyes widen at us.

"Omo!" Ji Hyo covers her mouth with her hand as her eyes also widens.

Leo and I frown, confused at their sudden reaction then Leo wanders his eyes at our molded bodies, his eyes widen in realization, while I was still confused and my mind only registered the fear of being in a haunted house, my literal definition of hell that I didn't even bother to understand what he realized. 

"It's not what you think!" Leo hurriedly say, "Jennie was too scared so I had no choice but to carry her!" he then slightly tap my back as he quickly pushes his knees and stand up, never releasing me from his hold, "Jen, say something before they misunderstand!" 

What Leo said suddenly draw realization on me, a blush crept from my neck towards my cheek at the compromising situation we were in but I didn't have the courage to jump off of him as I am still scared.

"Yeah! It's true!" I hurriedly say.

"O-Oh..." Kwang Soo matters but still slightly uncertain if he will believe us or not.

Ji Hyo recovered and she looks at us amused, a smirk slowly creeping its way to her lips, "Are you guys sure?" she asks teasingly.

"Yah! Do't tease us!" I pout, my cheeks puffing out.

Leo chuckles and pecks my cheek making Kwang Soo gasp and Ji Hyo squeal, slapping Kwang Soo on the arm multiple times.

"Yah!" Kwan Soo snaps and stops Ji Hyo's swinging arm mid air.

"Okay love birds, sorry for being a nuisance to your date but we gotta find a key, have you already found a key?" Kwang Soo asked.

"No." Leo answered, blatantly lying but they don't need to know that, after all, this is a game.

"Oh same, well, we gotta find a key then, finders keepers." Kwang Soo said and drags Ji Hyo with him and off they go.

I heard Leo sigh and he turns at me, our faces only centimeters apart, our breaths mingling with each other as I hear him gulp. My throat suddenly felt dry, my heart beating uncontrollably against my chest, I lick my lips nervously and I saw Leo's eyes following the action, despite the dark room, I could see his brown eyes darken;almost black.
