Heejin had not ordered anything to eat, she didn’t feel like chewing or swallowing anything, at least, not with the gangster girl sitting in front of her. That’s why she was now sitting next to Sieun while looking bored at the girl, she wasn’t even paying attention to what they were talking about, she just wanted to get out of there.
She didn’t like that girl.
You don’t like that girl being near Sieun, Moon Heejin.
– What kind of work?
– He makes them thugs, doesn’t he? – Heejin asked after Sieun did, looking at the girl with feigned curiosity while the boy looked at her with confused eyes.
Is she mad?
– Why are you curious? – Neither of them answered, Heejin because, in fact, she didn’t know the reason Sieun was there asking that. – Listen, it’s not something that suits me to say, but be aware of who you’re dealing with, it’s not a lie that he kills people for money… Maybe he’s not a gangster like you say, but he does have connections.
– And your point is?
– Give him the money. – The girl said, answering to Sieun, who asked dryly at all of the girl’s previous words.
– What if I don’t?
– You’ll be in trouble.
…
– Is something wrong?
Heejin’s eyes looked up, bumping into Sieun’s, who, as always, looked serious, but the question had suggested that he was interested. – Yeah, I was just thinking about what that girl said… If we don’t give him the money, we’ll be in trouble… But… if we give it to him, will it be over? – Heejin asked, more for herself than for the boy, but he heard her, thinking about it too.
Of course they would stop following them maybe, but maybe they would also keep asking for money, they agreed once, they will do it again, maybe that’s their thought.
When he heard the girl’s sigh, he looked up, noticing how they had reached the place where he had guided her, with a grimace, this one noticed how touristy it had become, Heejin noticed that grimace, looking at the place.
It was a lookout.
– Is here?
Sieun nodded, looking around with a grimace on his face, squinting his eyes so he could look for a place where there were not so many people. – I didn’t think it was so well known.
And it was something hidden from the city, Sieun had found that great space years ago, when he was a child, he had stopped going for a while and thought that maybe in that period of time was that someone else discovered it and now it was a tourist center.
Bad luck.
Sieun was a little disappointed by that, not because he wanted to spend time alone with the girl, or maybe… But he want to show her something, seeing her all helplessly made him remember when he felt that way and that viewpoint was the only place that put him in a good mood, maybe he just wanted to make her feel better, but he didn’t know how, then, his idea was to take her somewhere that made her feel that way.
Feel better.
Heejin saw the whole place, seeing a familiar door, smiling as she remembered where they were. Looking at Sieun, she took his hand. – Do you know the one below? – Sieun looked at her strangely when she said that, she was smiling at him, which made him miss more. – The one that’s under this viewpoint, come here.
The girl took him by the hand more firmly, dragging him with her into a space under the great viewpoint where there were a lot of people, of course, making sure that no guards saw them and scolded them.
As they both went down the small slope of dirt to get to the place, the girl slipped a little, causing Sieun to grab her by the waist and pull her so she won’t fall out and roll up the mountain. – If I’d known we’d come here, I’d have put on other shoes. – The girl said, thanking the boy, he noticed that a good stretch was missing, so, without really knowing the reason, he took Heejin’s hand with force, this time, intertwining their fingers in a firmer grip.
No knees, not now please. Heejin thought as she felt her fingers tangle between the boy’s, making her legs tremble with nerves.
When they finally reached the base of the place, the girl smiled at him, turning to look at him. – Welcome to my hideout. – Heejin told him, showing him the place, it was like a small cave, but it wasn’t as deep, maybe five meters, as if it were a shed to cover you with the rain, the place may have been something similar in the past because it seemed to be made of stone although now it had, most of it covered in hard dirt, like mud.
When the boy saw next to him, after admiring the great place, he noticed the beautiful view, clearly it was not better than the highest viewpoint, but still, it looked spectacular. The whole city illuminated in lights of different colors while some branches of trees and leaves of plants were crossed in the place, it looked like the image of an Instagram photograph. – What do you think? Nice, isn’t it?
– It is.- Sieun said, feeling as the girl pulled him with her so that both of them will sit on the floor, back pressed at the bottom of the small cave, when Heejin sighed, almost with relief, the boy was encouraged to ask. – How do you know this place?
– Oh, it’s a funny story. – The girl smiled. – Before they built that viewpoint up there… – The girl raised her hand, pointing over their heads with her index finger. – This place had only one grid, Sooho fell down this ravine one day. – The girl laughed as she remembered the moment when the girl was going to take a picture of him and suddenly the boy was nowhere to be seen.
Sieun looked at her, thinking that he had never seen her with too much attention, had not seen the way her cheekbones lift up when she smiled, as her lips curled down with a reverse smile when she smiled with fun. He had not noticed the little scar near her lip, just next to the corner of it, it looked like a cut.
So much was Sieun’s distraction that he didn’t even hear how the younger one named her, inevitable, friend, if he wasn’t so focused on her features, he might have gotten a little upset, however, the only thing Heejin got was a touch on her face, right where she had that scar, that made the girl stop, shaking a little at the feeling of the clash of skins, and how the touch had sent a chill all over her body. – What happened to you here?
– A-h? – Heejin didn’t even know how she had managed to formulate that vowel, the fact that Sieun didn’t take his hand off her face and that their hands were still together, wasn’t helping her nervous system much… Or her sanity.
– You have a scar here… What happened to you? – The girl felt where he was touching, trying to remember what had happened to her, but all she remember stopped when he raised his gaze, colliding his large curious eyes with hers, he seemed to wait patiently for her response.
– M-e… – Clearing her throat, the girl found her sanity again, bowing her head a little at his touch, which made Sieun admire the action, stretching his fingers a little, to make her punt her face on his hand. – When I was little I climbed trees… My grandmother had an apple tree, I liked it so much that I climbed on it every time I went to visit her, once, I slipped, and my face rubbed against a tree, I got a wound, hence the mark.
Sieun nodded, looking at her eyes, seeing them shining with the light that illuminated the whole city. – Your eyes… – He muttered, Heejin could see him getting closer to her, and that made her want to jump into her place, yet she didn’t want to ruin that moment she had thought for so long.
– They’re pretty, aren’t they?
Heejin expected a negative answer or some answer worthy of Sieun, but when she received a yes from him, her body tensed. What did he say? – Heejin… – He let out a whisper. – Do you like me?
The girl wanted to laugh at the boy’s sincere confusion, although she was sure that he already knew it, she placed a hand on the one he had on her face, looking at him with a small smile. – I like you… Why?
– How do you know? – Sieun let out and she was confused at those words, not understanding the question. – How do you know you like me?
– Well, I don’t know… It’s… weird, I don’t think I have a scientific explanation of how it feels when someone likes you. – The girl shook softly, realizing that they were both close enough not to have to speak so loudly.
Sieun nodded, staring down for a second, staring at her little nose, passing to her lips, before that long-time question came out of his mouth without thinking. – Why not “Sieun’s girlfriend”? – They both stared immediately after that question. – Why is “Heejin’s boyfriend”.
This one let a reverse smile shine, full of nervousness. – Because I like you, Sieun… – The girl let go, being as sincere as possible. – And everyone knows that… If the case were different, maybe it would be the other way around.
– Different?
– If you liked me, they might refer to me as “Sieun’s girlfriend” – The girl clarified, making Sieun blink before nodding. – Is that so? Do you want me to be called that way? – The girl joked, smiling with some nerves, but looking into his eyes, deciding to get a little closer to him, noticing how it didn’t seem to bother him.
He didn’t answer, not knowing what to say, because if he was sincere, he didn’t know if that was what he really wanted or if it was just curiosity in his head. But for Heejin, silence granted, and that made her smile.
– Then tell me, Sieun.
– Tell you what?
– Tell me you like me. – That made Sieun stop breathing for a second.
Like her? Did he like Heejin? He didn’t know. He knew that the girl had become a regular thing in his life, now he felt strange if he didn’t hear his door being knocked at dinner time, he felt strange if there wasn’t a plate of hot homemade food with a note in front of his door, He felt strange if the girl did not come a few minutes after him to school and she greeted him without waiting for a greeting back, he felt strange if she did not bother him to teach her math, he felt strange if she was not outside his intensive classes’ classroom, waiting for him to go home together.
It felt strange without Heejin, but he didn’t know if feeling that way was that the girl like him or he was just getting used to her, to her presence. – I don’t know, Heejin… I don’t know how I feel.
That made Heejin want to jump into his arms, maybe he wasn’t sure, but the girl was glad that he had accepted that there were feelings there, that was a breakthrough, what the girl, if she was sincere, didn’t expect to have.
Nodding, she looked at Sieun’s lips, swallowing hard, hoping not to ruin that moment, she turned her gaze into his eyes with some confidence in them, of course, it was what shone in his eyes, but her heart was beating hard, so much that she swore her neck was popping because of it. But still, she decided to do it, what was the worst that could happen? A no? – I can help you with that.
– What?
– Kiss me. – Sieun opened his eyes to the direct words of this one, feeling his heart running suddenly, hearing those words from the girl’s mouth had made him nervous, much more with that sure look in her eyes, That just made him see that she wasn’t playing and that if he agreed, she was really going to kiss him.
The girl saw him, noticing how indecisive he looked, putting a hand on his face, she strokes it a little, just like he did when he felt the girl’s thumb move on his cheek, looking at him with soft, loving eyes, and this was reflected in the boy’s eyes as well.
Seeing them so bright and with that feeling permeated in all their vision, made theirs become similar by instinct, perhaps because he really felt warm, that feeling of feeling that someone cared about you, he hadn’t felt it in quite some time. – Can I kiss you, Sieun?
Sieun thought about it for a second, deciding to find out what he was feeling at the time, and if she could help him, he would take that help. Nervously installed in his system, he let the girl approach him, tilting his face a little before his eyes closed, a second before his lips collide with hers.
Creating a soft touch, he felt his lungs contract, as his stomach hurt when he felt some strange sensations in it, but despite that, a second later, his body loosed, leaving the tension in his body. Sighing to the feeling as the girl’s lips began to move against his, and that sent a tickling sensation all over his jaw, neck until it fell to his stomach, and as if it were a switch, he moved his hand from the girl’s face, passing it to the nape of her neck, entangled his fingers in her black hair, bringing her closer to him as his head leaned a little to the side as well, deepening the contact between them.
His lips moved slowly, stopping between each movement, enjoying the sensation that the other gave him, the hands together of these separated so that Sieun could hold her face with his two hands. Both separated as their lungs felt pain from the shortness of breath in their bodies, which caused them both to separate, panting, their eyes collided, Heejin raised an eyebrow with some malice, trying to relieve her nervousness. – Did I help you, kitten?
The adrenaline in Sieun’s body did not let him process his thoughts, as, without saying anything, his hands attracted the girl to him again, colliding his lips with her, Heejin almost fell by the sudden movement, putting her hands on the floor, around Sieun’s legs, being in a somewhat uncomfortable position, but none of them cared about it.
Not while those lips, that taste as heaven, moved against each other’s.
