Chapter: 32 : Misunderstanding Meets Hurt
Can't Be Shaken::Je InPOV::
I'd recognize that voice anywhere.
"Sunbae." I didn't know what to greet him by.
"InSu unnie wanted noodles." I don't look back but I feel him looking at me. I feel him lean in as the weight around my shoulder gets heavier.
"You know it's not safe for any lady to be out at this time of night." He softly whispers into my ear. His hot breath sends chills down my spine as the sound of his deep voice echos in my ear. My chest begins to rise and fall at a faster pace than before. I slowly feel the weight lighten to the point where his arm is no longer around my shoulder. I swallow still strictly facing forward. I'm pretty sure if I were to turn around my face would show how hot I just became. I cover both of my cheeks like earlier today. Where is the order, I'm about to die from the awkward silence. Just a few seconds later the Ajumma came out with my order.
"That will be 5,000₩." I quickly pull out the money and gently place it in her hands before putting my head down and walking around Chanyeol to the shop door.
"Stay right there." He ordered. Instead of listening I kept making my way to the door and opened it. Once I made it completely outside I quickened my pace. I got past one streetlight before I heard him call out to me.
"Ya! Je In wait for me." I don't try to slow pace . His feet, I hear now are running. Not too long after do I hear him breathing unevenly beside me.
"Why did you ignore me?" He managed to say.
"I need to get back before it gets later." I simply said. My hands had already found their way to my cheeks as the bag of noodles was being held in the crease of my bended arm.
"Stop." Without knowing it my feet stopped dead in their tracks.
"Look at me." I couldn't bring my head to look up at him by my side. I felt his hand under my chin as he used his thumb and first finger to pick my head up and turn it to him. I swallowed.
"Are you still not gonna talk to me after what happened days ago?" As I looked in his eyes I could sense a little hurt.
"I just talked to you inside the shop." I said through my squished cheeks.
"Ani- you responded to my questions with short abrupt answers ."
He was right, if he hadn't said anything my only words would've been "sunbae"
"Why am I the only one you have trouble talking to? Since day one you can't even talk to me comfortably nor look me in the eye. Did you not like me before you got here? If I'm someone you'll never feel comfortable with at least tell me so I can stop trying, tell me if I'm wrong!"
The hurt was completely showing, not just in his eyes but I watched as his bottom lip slightly quivered....
✐ I know what you're thinking 'What the heck another short update@ an intense moment!'
