I didn't want to let go of him and I guess he felt the same way. 

Joon Hee started laughing when I suddenly let out a loud belch. I didn't find it funny.

"You had a lot to drink. Go to bed." He disentangled himself from me. His smile was absolutely brilliant. I'd never seen him so happy. Had my simple kiss made him that way?

I leaned forward to kiss him again but he pulled back.

"I'm not kissing you after that. Gross." The smile was still there, however.

I watched him leave. The alcohol was making me sleepy but the adrenaline from the kiss and Joon Hee's words ,earlier that evening, was fighting it. I took a shower and collapsed onto my bed. I dreamt that I was making out with Shi Won but she turned into Joon Hee.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Having the day off meant I had nothing to distract my thoughts. I tried watching TV, reading, and even cleaning but my mind kept nagging me about the previous night's events.

Could I blame my behavior on the alcohol and claim I didn't remember any of it?

Was Joon Hee going to think I was his...boyfriend now? Was I?

He had looked so happy.

I let out a long sigh. I should have stuck with Shi Won. Why had I convinced myself that kissing Joon Hee was a good idea? 

My questions were interrupted by an incoming text from Shi Won.

--Nice going, Cassanova. @}--------

Ugh. Really? What had Joon Hee told her? Why did he have to keep telling her stuff about us?! 

--Stop reporting everything to Shi Won! (>_<)-- I sent off to him angrily.

--Sorry. I was excited. (・・;)-- Came his quick reply. I found myself blushing furiously. Crap. I have a boyfriend, don't I? No. No way.

Joon Hee showed up later that night with a pack of beers and a movie. We were settled on the couch watching comfortably, all thoughts of romance forgotten. I finally felt relaxed. 

"How are things at work?" I asked Joon Hee during an especially boring part of the movie.

"Fine. Nothing exciting." He yawned and stretched, settling back on the couch. He looked like he could use some sleep.

"You look exhausted. Why are you even here? You should be at home sleeping."

"I'm fine."

I'm not sure when it happened, but we both fell asleep. I only realized it when I heard the door open. I was confused for a moment.

"Aren't you two cute." Came a laugh.

I groaned and opened my eyes. Shi Won and my brother were standing there looking amused. I frowned. What were they doing here? I tried to sit up but something heavy and warm was on my chest. I looked down. 

Joon Hee was sleeping comfortably on top of me. His brown hair had fallen down over his eyes. He looked peaceful--no sad eyes or brilliant smile. 

When I remembered my brother was standing there, I shoved Joon Hee off me and sat up with a bit of a panic. 

"Ow!!!" Joon Hee complained from his place sprawled on the hard floor. He rubbed his head as he looked up at me. "What was there for?!"

He followed my gaze and turned around, seeing the two uninvited guess. 

"You okay?" Shi Won helped him to his feet.

"Yeah." He gave me a light kick. "Jerk."

"Why are you here?" I asked Shi Won and my brother, irritated and embarrassed. 

"We were in the neighborhood." Shi Won answered. 

"We?" Tae Woong had a girlfriend now, why were they hanging out?

Suddenly a third person stepped in. It was said girlfriend. I groaned and rolled my eyes. What a terrible day!

"Oh!" She said, having the decency to be embarrassed about barging in, unlike Shi Won and Tae Woong. "I'm sorry. We should have called first."

"Should have knocked." I grumbled. 

"I was thinking you'd like to join us for dinner." Tae Woong was saying to me. "Double date, ya know?"

"We're not dating!" Shi Won and I said simultaneously. 

The doctor laughed. "Me thinks thou doest protest too much. How cute."

I turned and looked and Joon Hee. His sad eyes met mine. I knew what he was thinking. He was thinking that I should be dating Shi Won--or a woman at least. 

I was tired of it. I knew I was going to regret this immediately, but I was never one for thinking things thru. I grabbed Joon Hee and crashed my lips against his. 

You know I always end my chapters like that, right? I had this one planned out in my head but it didn't turn out anything like I expected--at all.
