Ah Ri
Not too long until we passed up the so famous Gangnam district shopping mall and reached where Myungsoo's condominium is called the Somerset Palace. It wasn't that far either from the middle town and the environment was filled with a convenient stores that opens for 24 hours. Hmm..not bad for choosing a place to stay.Of course i had my own place to stay that i bought with my own savings-it's just that i preferred Villa than condominiums to live-and so i bought a Villa in Jeju instead in Seoul.
"Is there anybody who lived here other than you?"
I stepped off from the vehicle and so as Myungsoo while i stared up upon the skyscrapers above me. It was a simple building but i love the paint colours on it and how the windows on each rooms were carved artistically.
"No obviously," he snorted- slipping back his motorcycle keys into his bag
"The reason why i bought a condo was because i always prefer to be alone than with butlers and parents starts to barge into your rooms." he told me off while i could just forming an 'O' lips in understanding.
"Now come on, gotta show you something."
He looks at me over his shoulder before starts to walk ahead of me first to lead me inside the building and up to his place
I found out that his place was on the 22nd floor. Quite high which is i love it because it is impossible to let the sirens and honks of the cars to faintly be heard over here.
It was until the bell of the elevator goes jingle once meaning we had reached his floor. Once it was open,it wasn't as what i had suspected. Instead, it was instantly right into his apartment and no such things as hallways or corridors with full of other people's place.
Myungsoo stepped out from the elevator and once the lights and air-conditioners of the whole place was on straight away.
"Wow" i muttered unconsciously-looking around after taking off my shoes and exchange it into house slippers.
To my right was the living room with big windows as the substitute of a wall with black curtain hanging carelessly on each sides of it-the white sofa seems like it was the finest and softest brand that was quite pricey to be exact;the walls were painted creamy white and the floor was made of mahogany woods and so as the desk in the living room surrounded by the sofas,not too far from it was the kitchen that looks like the hotel would design it will be-equipped with cooking utensils that seems like it were never been used.
He had his things such as the guitar and piano by the other side of the living room-a grand piano to be exact. Not to mention bags of chips and other snacks were messily thrown all over the kitchen table
I stared at it in disgust and shot him a what-the-hell look
"Hey, i'm a guy! Don't expect me to do cleanings." he shrugs his shoulders off as throwing his bag onto the sofa while i could just rolled my eyes.
It was until i heard Myungsoo whistles out loud and calling out loud a food name,
"Kimchi! Come here boy!"
I rose an eyebrow at him;
"What're you doing?"
He shook his head and clapped his hands a few times;making me looking at him as if he is crazy;
"Myungsoo, what are you-"
A sudden small barking of a dog interrupts my sentences.
"There you are!" Myungsoo grinned as he looks behind me and went to squat down-extending his hands out
I spun around halfway to see a small puppy of a labrador starts to run with those cute little paws towards us and pass me by to jump into Myungsoo's hug
"Have you finished all the food that i gave you in the morning huh?" He snickered as lifting up the puppy into his hands and puts him down again just to rubs the back of its ear
It barked again with its tail wiggling signing how happy it is to see Myungsoo home.
I was so focused of looking at the cute puppy until Myungsoo carried him up into his arms and starts heading my way.
"Surprise" Myungsoo smirked as having the puppy in his arms
"H-huh?" i look at him in confusion then back at the small puppy that stares at me with his big round eyes that i find it really adorableeeeeee
"You have a puppy!?"
He nodded as handing him out at me-i quickly accepted him into my arms and it starts to looks up at me while licking my chin,
"Oh god, look at you. How much adorable you can be!" I leaned my cheeks closer to him and hugging it tighter against my chest.
"I found him yesterday when it rains heavily. Somebody just throw him out beside the street." Myungsoo explained-i look back at him
"Somebody throw him? That person must be crazy to throw this cutie creature away." i frowned,
"But,i just didn't expect you'll took him in with you." I flashes him a bright smile before went back to keep my eyes on the puppy.
Myungsoo
"But,i just didn't expect you'll took him in with you."
Ah Ri shot me her unusual smile that she would always showed to me. Probably because the effect of Kimchi is giving her. But even so, i looked on the other way-hoping that she did not listens to my heart's beatings.
That smile...Why are you doing this to me Ah Ri
My eyes fixed on Kimchi who had already seems to be so comfortable in her arms while licking her face off freely. Deep down inside my heart, i could feel a pang of jealousy while Kimchi could be that close to her.
Okay,you're being crazy Kim Myungsoo. Why the hell are you jealous over a dog? Snap out of it you idiot.
"What's his name again?" She ask as letting him down onto the ground and not looking at me.
"Kimchi." i replied shortly-earning a weird look i got from Ah Ri.
"What?"
"Why did you name him after a food?"
"Simply 'cause i love Kimchi."
I saw her rolled her eyes for a second there. She then stood up and smiled at me; "Is this what you wanted to show me?"
I looked away for a second until i nodded and went back to face her.
"By using the reasons you created a new song?"
I nodded again;
"Why didn't you just say so! If you said you have a puppy i'll come over!" She punched me on the shoulder lightly but never leaving that goddess smile off her face.
"Like you would come," i scoffed,
"Of course i would! Especially when this guy here won't stop being adorable~!" She couldn't stop grinning when Kimchi starts to runs around and away from us,
"About the new song. It was not a reason though." i spoke;
Until she fixes her gaze on me, "You mean you really wrote a new song?" She blinks; putting her innocent face on
"C'mere." i grab her hand gently before pulling her towards my own room
As soon as we stepped in, i closed the door behind me and gestures her to sit on my bed-surprisingly she obliged me totally for today. Did she drink a wrong medicine in the morning?
I pick up the guitar that was placed on the corner of my room and went to sat by the cold floor right in front of her,until she rose an eyebrow at me-pinning her legs together as one and pressing down her uniform skirt tighter
"Are you sitting there 'cause you could take a look at what under my skirt is,"
I looked up at her-dumbfounded.
Well that wasn't my purpose but now that she mentioned it i should have at least took a peek right?
"I could do that later," i waved a hand at her and she immediately glares at me- covering her torso with both arms.
"You're gonna rape me?!"
I flashes her a mischievous smile before my fingers starts to strums the guitar strings slowly earning a melodious sound
I heard her muttering a 'pervert' while i could just lets out a faint chuckles.
"Okay so, i'm gonna start now alright." i took a short glance at her and went back to concentrate on my fingers and not even waiting for her respond , i immediately starts to strums it louder and began with the lyrics that i have wrote myself and i have been working on these past few weeks;
There must be some things I can't ever do
like forgetting youI gave you too much of my heart, so much that it's almost pathetic
If I could turn back time I would do anything
I could feel her gaze were boring onto my being and she did not even uttered any words like mocking or other stuffs like she would always do to me;
The memories are still piercing through me
with sympathetic eyes
My body is still thrashing in agony
Maybe I can't do it
I can't let you go
I wonder if I've been erased from your mind
Erased forever
Should I just go and be erased forever?
Honestly, I think that's what I'm afraid of more than saying goodbye
Ah Ri
Did i just dream again?
No,
This wasn't a dream. I could feel my lips slightly apart by gaping at him as he only continues to sing and plays the guitar so well. This melodious voice,
Here he was right in front of me,
The same voice that i heard in the auditorium
I just sat there and stunned; while my mind trying to digest and assure myself whether it is his voice that i heard in that audio roomEach lyrics that he sang send my heart skips a beat and i hate to admit that his song was so good and it is so touching
"Ah Ri?"
"H-huh? Yeah?"
His sudden voice interrupt my daze and snaps me out to reality to see him starring up at me and he had just finished the song
" You're spacing out while i just sang it?!" He frowned,
I quickly shook my head and went to sat right in front of him on the cold floor;
"No no! It's amazing! And and-- the lyrics were so deep! Not to mention you did a good job on the chords!"
It was until instantly his eyes slightly widened and averted his gaze away from mine-clearing his throat awkwardly as one of his hand went to the back of his head and stretched his neck to the side
"Thanks," His gaze went back to look into mine as his lips were pulled up into a small smile. A smile that shows affection and joy.
My heart began to pound violently against my chest and i felt like i could even heard my heart beatings into my ears. Just wishing he would not have heard it,
What is this? What's happening to me? I never felt this way before towards Myungsoo..What have you done?
"S-so i guess any fans would love to hear you sing that in the cafeteria as always right,"
I tried to change the subject away and bit my lower lip as my fingers starts to twirls it selves around at the end of my curly hair.
"I won't this time" he replied as resting both of his arms above the guitar he had on his laps
I looked at him confusedly; He always played guitar of his own new songs by the cafeteria and makes all the girls in school goes swooning all over him along with his mates
"Why not? I thought you-"
"It's you."
What?
This time,i remain as still as a board as he keeps on trapping me inside his intense gaze;
Myungsoo leans the side of his head onto his arms-resting on it as his eyes written its expressive out loud that feels to me so...intimidating for the first time. I wanted to look away but something's holding me not to.
"I won't and will not in a million years, to play this song to someone else." He continued.
I gulp down my nervousness;finally being able to look away and forcing an awkward smile up;
"That was sweet Myungsoo,really." i snorted and thanking god for succeeding me in appearing calm and as my usual self. Note the sarcasm.
The moment i took a glance at him-his expression drops into grim-and pain screaming out loud on his face.
My heart stops,
Did i say something..bad?
"Ah Ri,"
He called me; and this time the way my name rolled in his tongue sends me shivers.
"What if i say that i meant that song just for you?" He starts off;
"What--do you mean?" i can't believe i stuttered.
He placed away his guitar from his lap onto the floor beside him and then facing me and i realized that our gap wasn't pretty much far from each other. You could say it was just half a meter away.
"You know what i mean,"
He mumbled until he leans in closer to me and in reflex i backed away-but just to bumped my back on the side of the bed.
Crap..
Myungsoo shot his arms out onto either of my sides- preventing me from getting away.
"And what if say--"
He didn't finishes his sentences and instead he buried his face into the crook of my neck and whispers those last words right beside my ears
It's not his hot breath that sending a shock into my heart,it's not how close his body weighing onto mine right now; and it is obviously not because of his strong unique scent went into my nostrils,
But with those words that i just heard from his very own lips slipped through it and ended up ran into my ears;
I could not even move an inch because it is way too impossible to be believed and how he sounded so serious out of all these times;
He pulls his face away from my neck and was now piercing his rich-chocolate eyes into mine; and even the tip of our noses lightly brushes onto one another's.
I didn't even blink at all and so as he does;
"You--" i breathed out- but didn't get the chance to completed his name as soon as i felt a pair of warm lips crash onto mine perfectly.
My eyes widened,
What the--
