Chapter Eighteen: There Are Only 7 Days Left...
Want To Bet?Siwan slowly set me down on the bench. He let me lay down on the bench, with my head on his lap. Since I was already in such bad condition, I didn't mind.
"There's only a week left..." he mumbled. "Am I really going to lose...?"
With my eyes still closed, I replied, "A week left till what? Lose what?"
I could feel him tense up. "The bet."
I had lost track of the days left in the bet. "Oh..."
Siwan slowly moved the hair from my face. "You're really pretty..."
I blushed. "Kamsahamnida..."
"You're the first girl to ever reject me..." he whispered softly into my ear.
His breath sent chills down my body. 'I'm the first girl to ever reject you' I repeated in my head. That's not true. I'm the first girl to ever learn to love you through a bet...
Siwan stared into the horizon. "Hey... what will happen after the bet is over?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Will I never see you again? Will I never talk to you again?" he asked.
I knew he was being sincere. I should probably tell him I love him too...
"Of course not, pabo." I laughed. I slowly opened my eyes. I could see him staring down at me. "We can still see each other..."
"We can be friends?"
"I don't see why not..."
"Hey, if you win this bet, what are you going to make me do?" he asked, curiously.
"I don't know yet!" I replied simply.
I slowly sat up. I felt better already. Siwan stood up.
"Come on, it's late. I should take you home." he smiled.
"Alright."
Truthfully I didn't want to leave him. When we arrived at my house, I saw my dad standing at the front doorstep.
"Kwon Jin Ae!" he shouted.
"Appa!"
I ran up and gave him a big hug.
-Cough-
I looked behind me. "Ah... appa, this is Im Siwan."
He looked at Siwan. "Annyeong..."
"Annyeong Haseyo." said Siwan.
"Are you guys going out? You look good together!" he teased.
"Appa!" I replied, embarrassed.
Siwan let out a small laugh behind me. "I know."
I pushed my dad back into the house. I turned around and said bye to Siwan before going in. My dad looked at me happily. "I think you guys should go out~"
"Appa! What are you saying?"
"I saw you guys walking home together. He likes you. You can see it perfectly in his eyes and I KNOW you like him. You're eyes are full of love!"
I blushed. "You don't know anything..."
Then I walked to the kitchen, fixed him something to eat, and walked to my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and fell to the ground. I figured because school started the next day, I should get some sleep now.
Slowly, I crawled into bed and drifted off into a deep sleep.
