- One Night Won't Hurt -
Falling in Love with My Enemy
Krystal looked up at MinHo's pleading eyes.
Has she ever thought about giving MinHo another shot?
Yes.
Does she think it's the right thing to do?
Most deeefinitely not.
She let go of MinHo's hands, walking over to the couch; "We need to finish our project." she said it like everything that happened the past few minutes was nothing.
MinHo stood there, not even moving; but he didn't wanna take this any further, for now. He made his way over to Krystal, trying to forget what just happened.
- three hours later -
"We're done!" Krystal yelled out in happiness, she high fived MinHo; who high fived back, but held onto her hands afterwards. Looking straight into her eyes.
She couldn't help but lock eyes with him, again. To her nightmare, all those same feelings of their first meeting came back.
MinHo saw that she wasn't resisting, and took this as a chance to make a move; he leaned in, inch by inch; not trying to startle her. Right when he's a couple centimeters away from her lips, she turned the other way; having him kiss her cheek instead.
Krystal closed her eyes, she regretted turning away; but she wasn't gonna risk getting hurt, again.
MinHo closed his eyes, biting down on his lower lip, then turned the other way; grabbing his backpack off the ground.
"Yo-you're leaving?" Krystal stuttered as she asked, her gaze went towards MinHo heading for the door.
He smiled a small smile, nodding his head; "We're done with the project, so I have no reason to stay here." MinHo smiled and nodded once more, already holding onto the doorknob.
"WAIT!"
MinHo stopped, surprised at Krystal; but turned around, "Yeah?"
Krystal looked at the time, "It's already 7:30, you live like; thirty minutes away."
"I know." he said with no enthusiasm.
She pointed out to the window, "It's already dark out, Victoria's sleeping over at HyoYeon's, and it's a Friday night; you could just take the guest room, if you'd like?"
He had no idea what to say, MinHo looked back outside; it was already dark outside, and he had to walk home. alone. He let go of the doorknob and looked at Krystal, "Are you sure?"
Krystal hesitated, but she nodded her head; "This is for your own safety." she assured him. Letting him know that's the only reason why.
MinHo smiled, "Thank you." he grabbed his backpack and went upstairs to the guest room, he already knew that place inside and out.
Krystal walked over to the guest room door, "I can make some Ramyun if you'd like? I just realized we didn't even eat dinner."
He got up from laying on the bed, placing his hand on her shoulder; "I got this." he flashed a smile, heading downstairs.
- after dinner -
Krystal wiped and got up from her seat, they didn't say one word to each other during the entire meal; but it was better than wanting to kill each other. "Since you cooked, I'll wash the dishes."
MinHo smiled, "Thanks again for letting me stay."
"Well, if you didn't fail your driver's test five times; maybe you wouldn't be in this situation." Krystal smirked, that was the only test that MinHo just could not pass.
"Whatever, you got a guy teacher; so you probably or something with your smile or-" he cut himself off in midsentence, finally realizing what he was saying; then coughed. "Uhm, I don't wanna sleep."
Krystal forced a smile, trying to forget what he was saying too; "Under the TV, theres a bin of movies and dramas; you can grab something out if you'd like."
He rolled his neck, then got up to the living room; searching for a movie. "I've seen Boys Over Flowers, most painful twenty five hours of my life; I was prettier than all of them combined. Personal Taste? I'm sick of Lee MinHo. Playful Kiss, nah. You're Beautiful? The main girl as a dude, no way. Hana Yori Dango? The Japanese version? Uhm. City Hunter? What the hell, more Lee MinHo." MinHo rolled his eyes, all he was finding were lovey dovey dramas and everything with Lee MinHo; "Aish." he mumbled under his breath.
Krystal walked into the room a couple minutes ago, just laughing by herself at MinHo; "Lee MinHo is every girl's dream guy."
"Dream guy my ." he let out, then picked up a Japanese horror movie; "Ringu." he read the summary on the back and stood up, placing the disk into the slot; "You gonna watch?" He asked as he made his way to the couch.
She shook her head, "As surprising as it may sound, all those horror movies belong to Jessica; and theres no way in hell I'm watching the number one rated horror movie in Japan. I'm really sleepy, so I'm gonna head off into my room." Krystal waved bye, leaving him downstairs.
MinHo watched as she walked upstairs, was he gonna take this as another oppurtunity? He thought for a bit, but then shook his head no; he already failed once, there wasn't gonna be another fail in one day. He placed a blanket over himself, just as the movie began to start.
- an hour into the movie -
"Holy fu*k." MinHo covered his face with a pillow, this was the first time ever he's gotten scared from a movie before. The movie was creeping him out so much, he actually put it on mute to avoid any sounds that would scare him even more. But then, he heard footsteps; and the exact same time someone was walking in the movie. He turned around.
Nothing.
He picked up the remote, it was still on mute. He looked back once more.
Nothing.
He was done just sitting there.
MinHo grabbed one of Krystal's tennis rackets from it's case, slowly making his way around the house; he looked up, making the sign of the cross. So this is how people feel in movies. He looked around again, then finally the kitchen lights; he saw a girl with long dark hair by the sink.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed in terror.
She screamed an even more high pitched "AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Turning around, even dropping a plate.
"KRYSTAL?!"
"MINHO!?"
They both screamed at each other in unison.
Krystal grabbed onto her chest to feel her heart beating faster than usual, covering herself up since she was only just wearing a sports bra and some boxers.
MinHo scratched his head, he couldn't help but get . I should sleep here more often. He forced himself to turn around, but kept talking; "What are you doing down here?!"
Krystal grabbed a sweatshirt she always left downstairs, "I was hungry, so I came here to eat and all of a sudden an attack from YOU makes me lose my appetite."
"Well maybe if you the LIGHT, I wouldn't be so paranoid right now." He turned back around, eyes still closed; "Can I look at you properly now?"
Krystal laughed, "Yes, I'm covered."
He opened his eyes, "But seriously, don't ever do that again." MinHo tilted his head, looking at Krystal's sweatshirt; "Isn't that mine?
Krystal's eyes widened, she looked down; turned around, and squeezed the front of the sweatshirt; just remembering she never returned it to him after they broke up. "Aiiish. FML." she cursed through her breath.
MinHo was happy at the fact that she even kept it, let alone still wore it; "That's fine. You can keep it. At least now I know where it is, I've been looking for it for a long time."
"Hahah." Krystal scratched her head and threw out a nervous laugh.
He felt the awkwardness.
Again.
"Anyways, please don't make me wanna pee in my pants again."
She walked over in front of him, crossing her arms; tilting her head, "Well, well, well; is this who I think it is? Choi MinHo? Becoming paranoid from one wittle movie?" Krystal poked his chest, smirking.
MinHo stuffed his hands in his sweatshirt pocket, "Psh, uh; no, of course not; okay Krystal. NUMBER ONE RATED J-HORROR MOVIE. It's supposed to scare your off."
Krystal rolled her eyes, "I'm not tired, I'll watch the rest of the movie with you." she made her way into the living room, pressing play on the TV.
He watched her as she went over to the living room, this day turned out better than expected; he smiled to himself, following her.
- after the movie -
"You missed all the scary parts, which is why you didn't scream your of-" MinHo turned to his right, Krystal already fell asleep on the other side of the couch.
She still looked beautiful while sleeping. He grabbed a blanket from the cabinet and placed it over her body, went upstairs; grabbing her favorite stuffed animal, a panda bear he won for her at a carnival while they were still dating; placing it in her arms.
Just looking at her made him smile, they both took their competitiveness way too far; and he had enough of it. MinHo looked at her for a few more seconds, then made some space for himself on the other side of the couch; falling into a deep sleep.
