14 Just friends (1/2)

Chang Wook and Ha Eun chuckle awkwardly. If they refuse straightforwardly everyone would look at them skeptically. Chang Wook already lied to his parents, them finding out right after his lie, that he and Ha Eun really aren't anything will be an interesting talk that he doesn't want to have.

Chang Wook couldn't help but look towards Mi Jin's direction. She didn't look like she was having fun at all, she looked awkward and the moment she and Chang Wook made eye contact she quickly left the room.

Chang Wook felt his heart stop for a moment. Why was this bothering him so much? Ha Eun got in front of him ”Chang Wook…you okay?” she asked him. She turned her head and saw the figure of a girl in a summer dress leaving the room.

She didn't know what she felt but she was showing it because at that moment someone yelled ”Look, Ha Eun is blushing!”

”They're so embarrassed, that's so cute!”

Ha Eun couldn't put her finger on what she was feeling but she first needed to come up with a way of getting out of this situation. As she was coming up with reasons to not do the…the kiss…Chang Wook grabbed Ha Eun's hand. She looked at him surprised wondering what he was planning on doing.

Chang Wook looked at Ha Eun. He felt he was in an awkward position but looked to Ha Eun to see any signs of her agreeing or disagreeing to what he was about to do, but all he saw was confusion in her eyes. He didn't want to force something on her she didn't want to do but desperate measures called for desperate solutions.

”Ha Eun” Chang Wook said. She didn't know what expression to make. This was the first time he used her name and there wasn't any type of argument ensuing. Was he really going to…to kiss her? She was worried about what would happen after if he indeed kissed her.

Chang Wook slowly moved his hands up to her shoulders and slowly lowered them to her waist as he gradually pulled her towards him. He was staring directly at her lips. They had to make this look believable, if it looked awkward everyone would start wondering if they ever truly kissed. He noticed how Ha Eun had her lips slightly parted. They were so pink and looked so soft. As he looked up to her eyes, they looked like they belonged to a completely different person, not his boss.

She felt she was seeing a new side of him, for the first time she thought he was manly.

He started to lean in ”Ha Eun” he whispered her name one more time. She could feel all the hairs on her arms stand up. She knew what was coming, but she didn't know why she hadn't talked yet. Did she actually want him to kiss her?

”Get ahold of yourself!” Ha Eun yelled at herself. When he was just a few inches away Ha Eun moved her head to the side and fell into his embrace.

For a second it felt like she belonged there. Her arms completely wrapped around him and he felt so soft and smelled like soap.
