Chapter 15                                                                                 

 

Jolie was sleeping peacefully on her little cushion. Jiyong kept his head phones on and was intensely focused with writing his own parts. Meanwhile Youngbae and I...

"Aniji*~ oppa, this would sound better because it rhymes with that!"

"What? Wouldn't this be better?" 

"I think this sounds cleaner...doesn't it?"

"But Remi hmmm... It sounds a bit awkward to say."

"Okay fine whatever you want~ but I thi-"

"Yah, are you guys done?" Jiyong turned around to the table that Youngbae and I were sitting at. His eyes looked like fire itself crawling out towards us. He looked terribly stressed and his skin was pale and tight. But there was something else I could see in him... The way his eyes shone brightly and his eyebrows raised up every time he saw me talking with Youngbae. The way he lightly bit his lip and cautiously looked towards our direction. Was it... Jealousy?  

      Youngbae cleared his throat "Mi-an*" he sneaked a smirk at me.

Jiyong spun his chair around and flipped his pen around his fingers.

"Ah I'm hungry... Did you guys eat?" 

I looked at the time. It was already 12:45? Wow time flew by fast. I rubbed my stomach with my hands and realized how hungry I was.

"I ate dinner but I'm getting hungry" I said.

"Me too" Youngbae said with a grin.

Jiyong stood up and jumped on his feet. "I'll run down to order something. What do you guys want?"

I said the first thing that popped in my head "Jja Jang myun*"

---------------------------

*aniji- a very informal way of no. Equivalent to "that's not right"

*Jja Jang myun- type of korean Chinese food. Black bean noodles.

*Mi-an- sorry

Jolie got excited again and started to prance around us.

"Ahh oppa just let me-" I stood up and he started to walk back wards to the couch. 

"Yah Remi-ya~" He whined with such a happy smile on his face. He raised his hand up high so I wouldn't reach it. But thankfully, Youngbae wasn't the tallest guy in the world and so my fingers grasped it. 

"Got it!" I yelled as my leg twined with his. He lost his balance and as he fell, making me fall with him. His hand quickly grabbed my arm and his other arm wrapped around me. He fell hard on his back on the leather couch and I fell directly on top of him. My head was down on his flat chest and his arms carefully wrapped me. I could feel his heart beating rapidly and my heart started to beat along to his rhythm. 

Awkward. Awkward. Awkward. I kept saying inside my head. My hands began to sweat in tremendous amounts and my head fell into a dizzy swirl.

When I looked up, I saw Youngbae awkwardly trying to avoid my eyes. He loosened his grasp around me and cleared his throat. I just laid there on his chest with a dumbfounded look on my face. I woke up from my trance when Jolie began to bark. We both looked at Jolie and then back at each other. What was I doing on top of him? Get off Remi!

How to make this a bit less awkward? I saw the paper in my fingers and thought quickly.

Laughing nervously, I sat up excitedly and held the paper up to my face. "Yay, I got it!" 

Youngbae sighed and chuckled lightly. He covered his face with his eyes.

"...What was wrong I can't say. Didn't want it to end this way. Every time I saw you, my heart would stop..." I read the paper in my head. These words, they were so sweet... Something one would say to the person they loved but couldn't have...
