--Chapter 16--

I stared at him for a couple of seconds then looked away, feeling embarrassed of my unusual behavior and couldn’t help but to admit that he looks absolutely gorgeous tonight. His tight grip on my waist didn’t make the situation any better.

The way he held my waist made me blush and the ball room suddenly felt hotter than before, what’s happening to me?

“You’re blushing.” I looked up to see him just to find his beautiful brown orbs piercing into mine while his lips curled into a genuine smile. I looked away.

“I-I’m not!” He chuckled a bit then twirled me around. “Don’t you feel curious about how did I found you amongst these…… retards?” He whispered the last sentence and pulled me closer.

I shook my head. “Not really, I know you always stalk me whenever you have time so maybe you did that again.”

“Smart girl, but sadly you’re wrong this time princess.” I raised my eyebrow. “Then how did you find me?”

“Give me a kiss first then I’ll tell you how.” He gave me a smug smile and pulled me even closer.

My face was facing his neck while Jongin put his head on top of mine and swayed me side to side. The girls behind me were whispering or squealing at the sight of this and I couldn’t help but to feel proud of myself. The every girls’ dream boy is sharing an intimate moment with me and the fact that we’re currently going out (fake relationship of course) only made this proud feeling grew bigger.

He was no longer placed his head on top of mine when the music stopped and the sound of clapping filled the ball room. Jongin didn’t let my waist go and kept his eyes on mine as he drew closer and closer….. and closer…….

“Jongin-ah!” I snapped my head to the right and found a beautiful woman smiling at us with her (I assumed to be) husband who looked so scary and cold. Jongin growled silently as the couple came to us and snatched me away from his embrace. “Who’s this beautiful young girl, Jongin? You haven’t introduced your mother to her.”

I looked at Jongin for an explanation and he sighed, stepping forward to us and introduced me to his parents.

“Umma, this is Lee Soyoung, and Soyoung, this is my mother.” Mrs. Kim pulled me into a tight hug then pinched my cheeks. “Gosh Soyoung-ah, you’re so cute! I never thought Jongin would go for a cute girl like you. You are Taemin’s little sister right?”

I nodded. “Ne Ahjumma, he’s my brother.”

“No! Don’t call me Ahjumma! Just call me with Omonim, okay? You’re Jongin’s girlfriend after all, it would be nice to have a daughter-in-law like you.” I was about to say something when Mr. Kim stepped forward to me and smiled creepily. No, he’s not a ert, he’s just that creepy that even his smile could give goosebumps to my body.

“I never knew Taemin had a beautiful sister like you. I hope Jongin treats you well, Soyoung-ssi. He’s a little bit stubborn and childish, but I know he would do anything for his loved ones.”

“Abeoji!” Jongin yelled in embarrassment. I chuckled. “He treats me well, Ahjussi. Thank you for your concern…”

He smiled. “Call me with Abeonim. It wouldn’t hurt to try, right?” Mr. Kim looked at his wristwatch and sighed. “I need to go now. Don’t try anything funny on her, okay?”

“I won’t……….. miss that.” Jongin muttered the last sentence that only audible for me.

As the couple walked to other guests, Jongin sneaked his arms around my waist and put his head on my exposed shoulder. I sighed. “What do you want?”

He chuckled. “What do you want me to do?”

I wriggled myself away from him then walked away.

“I want to eat.”

I heard he chuckled then ran off to me, putting his arm around my shoulders and followed me to the food section.

The way to the food section was quite disturbing with girls surrounding him and his guy friends greeted him in a gentleman way. Some of them teased me about Jongin and to make it worse, he played along with his friends by kissing my cheek or my hand.

After greeting all of them, we finally made it to the food section. I quickly put so many things into my plate and walked to an empty table near the big window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside as I chewed the foods.

Not so long after that, Jongin came to the table with a little food on his plate and gave me a disgusted look when he saw all the things on my plate. I growled.

“Don’t give me that look, Kim Jongin.”

“What look?” He asked innocently. I looked up. “THAT look on your face right now. Go away.”

“What if I don’t want to?” I stood up from my seat and grabbed my plate with one hand. “Then I’ll go.”

“No no no, I’ll be quite, okay? Now you can eat peacefully.” He said while grabbing my wrist and gently pushed me down to my seat again.

For this once, he actually did stop make me feel annoyed and just stared at me who’s eating like animals now. He put his head on his palm and chuckled.

“How old are you? Five?” I frowned. “What do you mean by that?” Without saying anything, he grabbed the napkin beside his hand then leaned forward to me, staring intensely to my lips as he wiped the sauce on the corner of my lips.

His little action caused my heart to beat faster than before. After wiping the sauce, his hand moved up to my cheek and it until I suddenly felt the pain on my cheek then realized he had slapped my face.

“Yah!” I shouted, causing the other guests snapped their heads toward us and glared. He chuckled. “That was your punishment for dancing with random guy while I’m gone.”

“I was waiting for you in the lobby but you never came! And since Sehun Oppa and Soojung ditched me to the dance floor, I didn’t have a choice but to join them.”

“You want to dance with me then?” I choked on my food and stared at him in disbelief. How can someone change so quickly?

“We just danced for God’s sake, why would I want to dance with you anyway?”

He smirked. “Because I want to.”

He suddenly grabbed my hand which still holding a fork and pulled me to a big door that connected to the small garden. Jongin brought me to a white gazebo then pulled me closer to him while humming to a familiar song, Nothing Better.

The moon shone brightly as we danced silently while staring into each other eyes. His voice was so deep yet calming that could make girls swoon over him and willing to do anything just to hear his voice. I rested my head on his chest and couldn’t but to notice his heartbeat that going faster and faster each seconds. I smirked.

“Are you nervous, Kim Jongin?”

“Me? Nervous? You wish.” He said, raising his voice one octave. I shook my head then put my head back to his chest while he buried his face on my hair. I didn’t know what had happened tonight but it surely changed my opinion about him (just a little bit).

He wasn’t that jerk after all, he had this side of him that could make me softened a little bit on him. The scent of his body was really nice and fresh, I feel like staying like this forever just to smell his scent.

After dancing a quite long time, he gently pushed my body from him but still holding me. He stared deeply into my eyes, cupping my face with his free hand as he leaned closer. I slowly closed my eyes and waited for him to do ‘something’ until I heard footsteps from the garden and pushed him away before someone could see us.

“Why—“

“Kai, you have to go with me. Now.” A tall guy that I knew his name was Chanyeol came with a worried look on his face, eyeing the both of us before shifting his gaze to Jongin again.

“He’s injured, we need to help him.” Jongin’s face darkened as he heard the words that came from Chanyeol’s mouth. “You go first, I have to finish my business first.”

Chanyeol smirked then left us alone in the gazebo. I turned to Jongin. “Who’s injured?”

“You don’t have to be worry, it’s just my friend but he really needs me now. I’ll ask the driver to take you home, okay?”

“I—“He pulled me into his embrace and gently kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes for a second then opened it again just to find he already walked away from the gazebo.

I don’t know why but I had a bad feeling about Jongin….

And it scared me.
