Chapter 14
Say You Love Me [ Hiatus]***
"Oh my God, my parents are so embarrassing." Suzy said as she closed the door behind them.
'Yeah, tell me about it. Mine were also the same." Kai replied softly. "Oh hey I forgot to tell you, we're going with my Appa's truck for tonight's date." Kai grinned at her when he told her as they started walking.
"Really? Why are we taking the truck and not the car?" Suzy asked.
"It's what I've planned for our date." Kai replied covertly.
Kai, like true gentlemen, pulled open the door and help her to climb inside - since the truck was pretty high up - and held onto her hand until she was settled comfortably. Once Suzy was inside and secure, Kai closed the door. He shut the door gently and jogged to the driver’s side, sliding into the seat and pulling away from the curb.
“So, Kai…” She started.
“Not a chance,” He said immediately, laughing throatily. Suzy folded her arms and jutted her lip in a pout while sinking down in her seat.
“Please? I just want to know where we’re going,” Suzy said, putting on her best puppy dog eyes. The dark haired boy shook his head, eyes focused on the road ahead as they twist and turned up to Seoul’s busy streets.
"You'll see." He said nonchalantly whilst trying not to look at her. There was a tiny smile on his lips that made Suzy all the more curious as to where they were off to but it seemed that her best friend was not too keen on letting slip his secret for the time being. She’d just have to wait to find out.
After a few moments of silence, Suzy spoke.
"Kai, I'm glad you finally asked me out." She tried to sound casual.
Kai smiled widely at her. "I am as well. For the record I've wanted to for a while but you've just been too busy dating other blokes." He said shrugging, a hint of bitterness invading his thoughts. Suzy spotted this and pouted at the unfair accusation.
"But you never stop me." Suzy mumbled.
"Should I have?" he asked in a frank tone. They both knew very well what the answer to that was but Kai was curious to know if he had perhaps been too presumptuous. Seeing Suzy’s expression seemed to confirm his earlier presumption and his mood dropped slightly at the thought of her with all those other guys and the fact that he probably wouldn’t have had much of a chance had he made his move earlier than now.
Suzy looked to her side at Kai and she could have sworn that she saw a bit of sadness in his expression that resembled that which she felt in her heart. Suzy opened to speak but nothing would come out. Somehow the reality of her past and just how much he knew about it made her feel ashamed. Even through Kai had been her friend for so long and knew so much about her, she couldn’t help but worry about how he’d seen her over the time that they had been together as friends. What did he actually think of her? That question seemed to bother her all the way to their destination as they drove the rest of the way in silence.
"We're almost there." Kai said out of nowhere, breaking her line of thought in doing so.
She gazed out the left side of the windshield as they approached an enormous lot containing few sporadic cars facing a big white screen.
“How did I not know that Seoul has a drive-in cinema?” Suzy asked.
“It’s a well-kept secret.” Kai smiled as he turned into a driveway. After paying the entry fees, they drove into the lot. Kai chose one of the numerous empty spots, just slightly off centre from the big screen. Suzy was confused when he reversed and pivoted the truck around so that the trunk was facing the screen.
“Why are you parking like this? We can’t see the screen.”
Kai scoffed mockingly and turned the engine off. “Try not to make it so obvious that this is your first time.” He opened his door and nearly skipped ov
