Two Shades of Jealousy
Angel Kisses
"What's your new year's resolution?"
I glared at Donghae when he sat beside me, and wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulled me close to him.
I grimaced at him and said, "To be happy."
"Why? Aren't you happy, yet?" he asked, pulling away. Clearly he has been happy with that expression he has on these days. I envy him. He doesn't have a lot of things ti think about.
I smiled then shook my head. "Not the kind of happiness I want."
"Ah. Are there many kinds of happiness? I think happiness is the same. As long as you're happy about your decisions and outcomes, that should be happiness."
Turning to him, I smiled when I heard what he said. Surely, that wasn't what I expected to hear. Knowing him, he'll just shake it off or laugh at it. But now, he's serious and I don't know if I should be happy about it or not but I know I like it, and it's dangerous.
I moved closer to him and carefully rested my head on his shoulder. "I'm glad I have you."
He put a hand to my head, patting. This feeling is too much. I'm falling deeply and madly in love for him. But I've decided. Before class resume, I'm going to tell him that we shouldn't be staying like this forever because it will only hurt me more. Some point in time, we need to part ways. And it'll happen soon enough.
"Jessie, will you promise me something?"
I stayed still. "Hmm? What is that?"
"Will you...stay with me, stay like this forever?"
This time, I sat up straight, and stared at him. I don't know what he was trying to say. Stay like this? Stay what? I don't get it. Forever? He expects me to be his best friend forever?
He flicked my forehead and uttered, "Tss. You're overthinking things. Come, let's have a coffee."
Before I could say anything, he started dragging me and I struggled to match his pace.
"Slow down," I told him.
He did and waited for me so we could walk side by side. He let go of me then but I was stunned when he held my hand again. I looked up at him confusedly, but he just smiled at me.
I just returned him an awkward smile as we walked out of the park. I was glad it's not already snowing but there's still snow on the ground so it's still snow feels. But nevertheless, I know after New Year it's gonna be sunny.
"Wait. Jaejoong's café?" I asked when I realized we're heading in.
He stopped and stared down at me. "Why not?"
"Aish! Can we go somewhere else?"
He dropped my hand then started walking away, leaving me. Wait what?! Why is he leaving? I didn't say anything bad, right? I just don't want to go here because the last time I came here, we had, uhm, not so good talk.
I just think that coming here again would only annoy him. I'm still not ready for that, though.
But anyway! "Lee Donghae! Come back here!"
He stopped but didn't turn to face me. "Make me!"
What the. What's with this guy! Fine! He's playing hard-to-get now, uh? "Come back here or you will go alone this weekend!"
As fast as the wind blows, he was now in front of me, smiling widely. He lent me his arm and happily said, "Let's go in?"
I rolled my eyes and just agreed. I couldn't argue with this guy anymore. He'll either just sulk or force me to. He has his ways and I couldn't even say
