Shared Spaces & Hidden Desires ? Seungcheol

Seungcheol

After what happened earlier in the afternoon, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. One wrong slip and we could've kissed.

I go on about the rest of the day in a daze, body present but mind elsewhere thinking of her. I've never thought of her as anything more than a friend. We grew up together and it never even crossed my mind to ever see her as something more than a friend.

With her face that close to mine, all I could see was her. The shock on her face, the momentary eye contact that felt like it lasted for hours, the sigh of her breath and the sound of her heartbeat.

I'm sitting in front of my computer, my fingers mindlessly clicking on the keyboard and mouse. I jump on my seat when I hear my ringtone, bringing me back to reality. I check my phone seeing my mom calling me.

"Hey mom," I picked up.

"Hi darling, how was the orientation?" I hear my mom's gentle voice.

"It was great. I made new friends already. How's home without me?" I reply and ask her back.

My mom chuckles and jokes, "It's nice because no one's loud anymore unless your brother comes to visit."

"Hey! So no one misses me?" I pout, begging my mom for attention.

I hear her soft laughter, "Of course we miss you. How about yn? Is she enjoying herself?"

Talking to my mom made me forget what happened earlier just for a while before she asked me this. My mind goes blank and I couldn't come up with anything to say so my mom repeats herself, "Hello? Are you still there? How's yn darling?"

I shake my head and immediately try to come up with something to say, "Oh she's doing well too mom."

"Oh that's great to hear! Is she there with you? Can I speak to her?" my mother asks.

Well shit, now I gotta go see her. I leave my room and walk up to her room telling my mom, "Yes, hold on."

I knock on her door and I immediately see her standing there opening the door. I hand her my phone and mouth to her, "Mom." She nods and takes the phone from me and puts it on her ear, "Hello? Hi auntie, it's yn."

I stand there listening to her replies unable to hear my mom on the other end but she starts giggling. What are they talking about? It's making me nervous.

Then she ends the call with a big smile on her face and hands my phone back to me. "What? What did my mom say that made you laugh like that? Did she badmouth me?!" I ask curiously.

"That's between me and your mom to know," she teases, sticking out her tongue at me.

"Ya! But I'm her son though!" I complain.

"Ask her yourself then," she answers with a cocky look on her face.

"You're annoying," I grumble.

Then it goes silent as we both stand there at her door.

YN

Gosh why is the atmosphere suddenly so.. tense?

I look down avoiding his gaze and feel my heartbeat accelerating again and blurt out, "I'm gonna go back and continue my movie then if that's all."

"Uh yes of course, I'll see you at dinner," he answers hesitantly as he turns and walks down the stairs.

I shut the door and lean my whole body weight on the door as I'm clutching my chest, trying to calm down.
