Just three more floors…
Of all the members to be stuck in an elevator with, it was TaeYang. After I left my crush behind for DaeSung, he finally decided to reciprocate my feelings. Why?
The door just closes before I get no chance to question the glint in his eyes before his lips are on mine. And because all I could think about was what I planned to do with DaeSung that night, I leaned in. Fuck fuck fuck. I let him kiss me and in the back of my mind, I was counting the beeps of the elevator.
He must have been counting as well, because not even two seconds before the door opens, we part ways.
I rush into our apartment and hide in my room, DaeSung looking at me questioningly as I put my things down in a huff. I can’t bear to look at him. Not after what I did to him.
Especially not after the first time I let myself be lead into TaeYang’s trap.
That guy is not as shy as he looks.
I pass by him in the hall and he gives me a smirk, as if he won.
No. I love DaeSung. I tell myself, familiarity in the way I was more reminding myself than attempting to tell TaeYang through telepathy.
The first time I let myself be caught up by TaeYang, I let myself become so carried away I went buried myself into a corner until I couldn’t stop myself. It’s a frightening corner more commonly known as teen hormones. It was before DaeSung and I actually started going out, but it was after he had confessed to me.
I had promised DaeSung I would never lie. Eventually the guilt of the kiss would eat me from the inside out, starting with my heart.
I know DaeSung questions my love for him. Honestly, I can’t blame him.
I pull myself out of my daze before I run into TOP in the kitchen, and we give each other an awkward smirk at catching each other longing for a late night snack.
“Don’t touch this.” He tells me suddenly, and the more I look at the item, the more appetizing it looks.
“I won’t.” I tell him simply.
“Is something troubling you?” He asks, and I can’t help but thank him for noticing.
Who says we’re awkward with each other?
“Actually… yeah…” I hesitate before answering, not wanting DaeSung to over hear. “In the elevator on the way up… TaeYang made advances on me.” I tell him, feeling shy and guilty all at the same time. TOP remained quiet as he waited for me to continue. “The thing is it was just a kiss. But…” I feel blush creeping onto my face. “Since I left school all I could think about was DaeSung.” I had gone to school to turn in some mandatory projects. “I reciprocated the kiss without thinking.” I finally got out, feeling a bit better, but knowing this wasn’t the person I wanted to be talking to.
“Tell DaeSung that.” TOP replied simply.
“I know. But it’s hard. Now I feel like I have to hide something.”
He nods as if he understands.
“Tell DaeSung what you told me.” He repeats.
I sigh and go to the room. “DaeSungie?”
He looks up from a manga.
“I need to admit something to you and I can only hope you won’t get too mad at me?” I try.
“With a beginning like that, I’m worried I might have to...” My lover tells me, closing the manga.
I took a deep breath as I sat next to him. Here goes… “On the way up in the elevator, TaeYang… kissed me.” I chance a glance and I see his eyes have clouded over. “I was so lost in thought I reciprocated the kiss without thinking. But it meant nothing to me.” I defended quickly.
“I spent so long building my trust for you back and you do this?” DaeSung replies calmly, and I feel cold suddenly.
“I’m sorry. It was just a kiss; it didn’t mean anything to me.”
“So my kisses don’t mean anything to you either?” He asked defensively.
“That’s not what I meant. You know I love you.” I tell him. “Please don’t do this.” I beg. “I didn’t mean for it to happen. I wanted to tell you this because I promised you I’d never lie to you.”
“The memory of seeing you and him making love is still fresh in my mind,” he begins, and I feel my heart skip a beat.
Sex, not making love… I correct him in my mind. I bite my lower lip, feeling a guilt that had long been forgotten. “It’s nothing like that… I would never cheat on you DaeSung.”
“Then why did you kiss him back? Why didn’t you push him away?” He asked me, and I can hear his voice waver.
“I could only think of you.” I say pathetically.
“You told me that after you found out I saw you two. Dammit SeungRi, stop making excuses!” He yelled suddenly, pounding his fist on the mattress.
I jump a bit at the sudden noise. “I’m not DaeSung! I swear! I only love you!” I fight back, my voice rising as well.
“Children!” TOP barks, and we both look to him. “DaeSung, SeungRi apologized because he felt bad for what he let his body do in a moment of weakness. He told me he was caught up in thoughts of you and god it shows so please make up and do whatever already,” he begs, his voice seemingly rushed. “Just kiss and make up already. TaeYang is just trying to start a fight between you two so he can get SeungRi while he’s weak. Don’t let the sneak do it to you guys.”
“What did TaeYang ever do to you?” DaeSung asks the oldest curiously, and TOP blushes.
“Nothing,” he replies, his usual cool returning despite the red on his cheeks. He leaves and I let DaeSung make the first move.
“Is it true?”
“What?”
“That you were thinking about me?”
“Since I left for school this morning.” I tell him honestly. He smiles and I give him a hug. “I hate having you doubt me, but I’m sorry I give you chances to do so,” I add.
“I’ll let it go this time, but next time push him away.” DaeSung cries, pushing me away as if giving me an example of what to do.
I smile and pounce on him, both of us falling back onto the mattress. “You don’t need to push me away,” I whine playfully.
“Fine, I won’t.” DaeSung winks, pulling me down for a kiss.
I like his kisses better. I don’t have to tell myself.
