CHAPTER 10

Cupid’s Arrow

Throughout the time that Eunha was hanging out with us, I couldn’t help but notice how fake the smiles Sinb gives towards us every times Eunha clings to me like a koala 

The loud laugh like there’ll be no tomorrow that she does and her smile that can reach up to her ears were suddenly wasn’t as bright as it was. It made my heart suddenly felt weak and a fragile glass that was slowly shattering into pieces every time I see her forcing herself to look fine by laughing or smiling

Her face became more dull and irritation could be seen when Eunha suddenly clung on my shoulders and acted as if she was my girlfriend

Was she purposely tryin to make Sinb jealous? So that Sinb would start avoiding me and make me just focus on my task?

I told her that this is not her concern so why the hell does she care? She didn’t even once did something like this. She had always watched me from afar and just mostly teases me

What exactly is she up to? I doubt that she came here in her own will. Kyung would mostly find out about this and reprimand her for doing such an immature act

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I almost got crushed by Sinb’s slam of the door on my face. One more step, I would probably get my nose broken and my head have a bulk on it

I twisted the knob carefully and opened it and saw no sign of Sinb in the living room making me scratch the back of my head in confusion

She usually head and stay at her favorite spot in the room every time she comes home from class—the sofa across the television. It’s weird that she headed inside the room instead of relaxing at her most comfy place.

“Is she not feeling well?”—I tilted my head with my brows creased—“But she looks perfectly fine a while ago”

I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water and also the medicine kit in case Sinb was really not feeling well. As I walk towards the room, I saw Sinb’s red sneakers shoes, carelessly thrown out of the room like she was in a hurry to go to bed and the door slightly opened

Having both of my hands occupied, I used my feet to shove the shoes at the wall so that it would look neat and organize.

Upon entering the room, I saw Sinb sitting up on her bed, her back leaning on the wall and her ears covered with big headphones. Making me think that she needed space. But I was too naive to give her that space she needed

Instead I kept calling her name aloud after I have place the glass of water and the medicine on the table.

She didn’t respond but just kept her eyes glued on her iPad, surfing the internet. In my desperation of getting her attention, I bent my knees along with my back and lifted one of the side of the headphone.

I waited for her to give me her signature glare but instead of receiving that, I’ve received one of the hated things I have when it comes to her, and that is... when she gives me the silent treatment.

I would rather receive her nagging, glares, criticisms, and jokes rather than her giving me the silent treatment. It feels like she pretends that I wasn’t even beside her when she does that. There would only be one reason once she does this... and that is... she’s upset about something

“Is there something wrong, Bi?” I softly said , my hand still lifting her headphone

She gave me no response once again making my desperation increase

“Did I do something wrong that upset you?”

No response

“What do you want me to do for you to notice me” She gave me no response again, making an idea pop out of my head from what I have last said

A playful smirk formed on the tips of my lips as I lean towards her ear—close enough that she could feel my hot breath and feel both of our warm skin

“Bi...”—I said as I get my flirty side to activate and once it had, I said what most likely get her attention—“I wouldn’t hesitate to kiss your lips passionately if you won’t talk to me”

But all there was, was silence but when I checked on her, her face was turning into bright red making me want to more

“I would kiss you to the point that you would beg for me to give you the passionate and hot kiss that could turn you on. And also me” I said every single word in seductive tone. With a low and husky voice along with her feeling my sincerity and the hot breath touching her skin.

I didn’t move away to make her feel that I would really do it if she doesn’t talk to me. I waited for a few minutes until she shouted “Aish” aloud, making me flinch and be taken aback

She swiftly turn her head towards me. Her face colored with bright red, her eyes watery due to embarrassment “W-who are you to k-k-kiss me”

The way she stuttered in embarrassment made me chuckle at how cute she looked like. While she gave me her glare which I love seeing from her

“There. I got you attention” I flashed her the most sincere and endearing smile that I could give to anyone

She aggressively turned her head away from her making me grin even wider because I didn’t think that she would be this embarrassed by my joke

“What is it are you mad about?” I asked as I sat down at the side of her bed and placed my right hand onto her bent knees while my left hand was pressing down on the mattress

“Bi. Tell me about it. I’m all ears” I rubbed my hand on her knees but all I received from her was a cute pout which made me automatically smile

“I should be the one sulking towards you” I teasingly said, trying if she would get why I would do that. She glanced at me for a second but turned away as soon as we had eye contact

“You didn’t even text me this lunch... but you messaged Yerin” I whined and fortunately I noticed that she was stopping herself from smiling and giving in

After a while of being silent, she finally managed to speak but hesitantly, almost uncertain if she would speak up “Who’s Eunha exactly?”

I stared at her and tilted my head as a grin forms on my lips when I realized why she had asked that kind of question towards me “Are you jealous towards her?”

“No”

“Aww. Baby Hwang is jealous of Eunha” I said with a nasal voice trying to further irritate and trigger Sinb which completely worked because she punched my shoulder making me groan in pain.

She immediately went to me if I was fine and rubbed the part where she had punched me

“You should’ve stopped when I said no” she hissed and rolled her eyes

“But, you’re jealous right?”

“No. Why would I be jealous when I’m not even your girlfriend” Pain... I heard pain in her voice once again and I have felt my heart breaking down along hers

“Not yet” I stared at her beautiful face which was looking down and slowly lifted as I said my reply

“What do you mean?”

“I haven’t given you the answer towards your confession right?”—I placed my hand on her cheek a and caressed it as I smile while observing her ever ethereal self.

With my head tilted as I slowly lean in towards her, I stopped when our lips were only a few inches a part. My eyes darted on her red seductive lips and whispered “This is my answer” before capturing her soft tender cherry flavored lips

I’ve never felt something wrong feels so right and good. Every kiss that we share, the more I despise being born as a cupid. Everything changed in my perspective because of her. How can one being and the thing you called love suddenly make you so alive and want to he greedy?

I’ve never been this greedy into something or someone. I’ve always been the kind of person who doesn’t care if she loses or not but now... now...

I want to be greedy and stay by your side.

I want you, Hwang Eunbi to be only mine.

I want to screw up your destined partner just so I could keep you

Slowly breaking away from the kiss, my head suddenly started throbbing in pain, making me groan a little bit.

“A-are you okay?” Sinb asked panicking and tried helping me but I raised my hand signaling her to stop

“I’m okay. Just a sudden headache I guess” I shook my head and slowly massaged my temple

==============================================

“Bi, are you done yet?”—I shouted and looked at my wristwatch—“We’re gonna be late if you don’t come out there in ten minutes”

“Almost finished, Just grabbing my stuffs” then the door opened and Sinb was rushing out the room and ran pass by me but I was fast enough to grab her by the wrist

“I thought we’re gonna be late? Why are you stopping me?” Her voice was utterly confused and a smile crept upon me

I pulled her to face me then slowly slid both of my arms on her waist, now trapping her from my arms “I was kidding. I just wanted to spend more time with my girl” I leaned closer to her and rubbed the tips of our nose together

“Why are you so cringey? I’m not used to it” She teasingly said as she lightly punched my ar

“You should be. Would be a lot more cringey as time goes by” Then I pulled her into a hug, one of my hand wrapped on her waist and the other one placed at the back of her head

“Just promise me that you won’t leave me” I muttered low enough that she wouldn’t be able understand

“Hm? What was that?”

“Nothing. I said that I wish it’s always like this” I cupped her cafe and kissed her on the forehead.

We stayed like that for a while until my phone buzzed. I fished it out of my pocket and saw Yerin’s name as the sender and opened the message which was just asking if I was gonna attend class since I usually come earlier than her

“Who was that?” I shrugged at her question and simply told her that it was Yerin asking if I would attend class

“We should get going now then? Since she already asked that question” Sinb said as she tuck both of her hands in her pocket but I grabbed her left hand and intertwined mine to hers

“I want to hold your hand” I said while looking at our interlocked hand before keeping it inside my pocket

“What did I do to have such a cringey girlfriend?” She joked and I returned it by saying “What did I ever do to have such a beautiful girlfriend?” Making her snort and lightly pushed my to the side

As we arrive in Sinb’s class, I saw Eunha looking us with a mix of pity and questioning expression on her face but I brushed it off and batted my attention towards Sinb

“I’ll see you later at break” She gave me an innocent smile and nodded

She entered the room and sat at the far end corner of the room, where she would be able to see the scenery of the school every time she feels like it.

I stared at her for a while until she caught on that I was still there and mouthed “You should go. You’ll be late” which I smiled and nodded in reply.

I waved at her and turned my body and started heading towards my class until I heard a voice—Eunha’s voice in my head having a serious and stern voice

“If I were you I would stop my relationship with the human. Don’t even wait for something catastrophic to happen, Cupid”

“I won’t end up like the grim reaper who fell for a human” I replied back in my head which fortunately worked to communicate with her

“Say that when there’s nothing bad happened. If you can’t stop that and focus on your mission, Kyung will probably replace you with your sister for this task”

“Don’t bring her up to this. You’ll do the same if you were me”

“Stupid. I won’t be friendly towards humans if I were you, to avoid breaking any law at all cost”

Here we go with that damned law again. Always bringing it up against me just because I fell deeply for a mortal

“You can use that law system all you want but my decision is final. I want to be greedy even just this once”

“You’ll be taking back your words when it starts. When the catastrophe for the both of you happens” That was the last sentence she told me before cutting the connection of the both of us inside our mind. And just when we’ve stopped communicating, Yerin welcomed me with shout along with her hand waving towards me

==============================================
