♡ 12

I watch from my spot on the second floor, pretending to wipe down a table, as Sunghoon holds hands with the two twins, one on each side of him, skating slowly. One boy and one girl, laughing as Sunghoon speeds up a little, pulling them along. Their knees are bent and they are slightly hunched over.

Look at that, he does have a heart, I think as I laugh, watching them. It is just me that it turns to ice for.

I shake my head and go back to cleaning the dining area. I am not seriously standing here humanizing Sunghoon Park. The same Sunghoon Park that blackmailed me into writing his script after breaking into my phone and threatening to send my webcomic to my crush. Yeah, that guy sucks.

"Peaches," Sunghoon calls to me as he enters the restaurant later that night. I silently curse that I let the other person working with me go home. "Do you have my cheesy fries ready?" He asks, as he gets to the counter, leaning over it, smirking at me.

We are acting like he hasn't ignored me for the past three days then? He hasn't said a word to me since the escape room. I thought about messaging him, you know because of the script, but talked myself out of it.

I glance at the box to my side with the name PARK on it. I should have known the inconsiderate asshole I have been waiting on to pick up their order so I could go was him.

I push the box to him and go to turn around and untie my apron.

"Hold on a minute," he says, stopping me. "Aren't you forgetting a smile and to ask me if there is anything else?"

"We are closed."

"I can see that." He nods, looking around. "Does that mean I can get you to go?"

"Me?"

"Come back to my place." He bluntly says and shakes the box of fries at me. "I'll share."

"You want me to come home with you?"

"Yes. I thought we could go over a position or two."

"I... um..." I hadn't been expecting him to be so forward about this. "I can't."

"Why?"

"None of your business." I narrow my eyes, pulling off my apron.

"It is my business. Seriously, what's better than coming back to my place and letting me play with you?"

"Sunghoon, shut up!" I look around, but I know we are the only two here. But there is a security guard that will be coming to usher us along soon. "And I have things to do."

"Like what? Just tell me." He opens the box and takes one of the fries out, tossing it in his mouth. "Is it something weird?"

"No! I have to go shopping for some new clothing items for the long weekend."

"Why?"

"The concert we are going to. We booked an Airbnb near the venue and I want to get some clothing for the concert." I shake my head. "I don't have to explain myself to you."

I pull out my phone and pretend to check my messages, knowing I don't have any as I walk toward the exit. Sunghoon follows.

"The concert you, my sister, and Heeseung are going to?" He asks and I nod. "You are going to get something sexy for Heeseung? Have this big plan to show him you are not like his 'little sister.'"

"Shut up." I repeat, my cheeks growing warm at how accurate he is. I am planning on going to pick up a new swim suit and pajama set specifically for the trip. It is the reason I am not asking Sohyun to come with me.

"I'll come with you."

"Don't be ridiculous."

"I'll give you a ride and an opinion on what I think Heeseung would think." He pops another fry in his mouth.

That is how I end up trying on swimsuits for Sunghoon Park at nine o'clock at night.

"You're going to be able to write the next episode of my script before we leave for that weekend, right?" He asks as I am in a dressing room.

"Did you say before we leave?"

"Heeseung invited me, remember?"

"I thought you only agreed as a joke to bother me." I reply, biting my lip. He can't be serious about going. Though if he is, it keeps Heeseung from inviting another girl.

"It is. But I am still going to go." He sighs. "Are you going to show me that or not?"

"I like it. I am just going to get it. No need to show you."

"Come on, Peaches. Don't be shy."

I roll my eyes, adjusting the straps on the swimsuit before turning toward the door. Why did I bring him? I ask myself as I open the door, walking out slightly. Sunghoon is in a chair in front of my door, on his phone. He looks up, his eyes scanning my body, his smirk faltering.

"Well?" I ask, suddenly feeling self conscious under his silent stare.

"Yeah. It's... it's good." He clears his throat, looking to the side.

"That's it?" I raise an eyebrow, folding my arms.

"I mean, yeah. It works. It's fine." He still isn't looking at me and he's beginning to piss me off. The whole reason he is here is to give me an opinion, not to be like this.

"Sunghoon, you aren't even looking at me." I huff. "If you don't like it, just say that."

Sunghoon looks back to me, his eyes slightly darker as he stands up and looks around. The worker is helping another customer. She only let Sunghoon back in this area because he charmed her and assured her he is just giving an opinion. It's so close to their closing time, she didn't seem to mind.

"You think I don't like it?" He asks, his hand reaching out to slide across my bare waist, pulling me closer to him. I gasp as I place my hands on his chest out of reflex. "You are testing my self control, Peaches."

"I..." I stumble over my words, biting my lip.

"You asked if I like it." He whispers, his hand moving over my partly exposed ass. "Seeing you in this makes me want to pick you up, lock the dressing room, and fuck you until you don't remember your own name, let alone who you are buying this for." He takes a deep breath, before stepping back, his hands falling from my body. "Take that how you want."

I spin around and hurry back into the dressing room, shutting the door behind me. I lean against it for a moment, catching my breath after having held it for a minute. My entire body has a heated buzz flowing through it and I swear I can still feel his hand on my ass. Why did I have this reaction to Sunghoon Park? Because we had one good time?

I do get the swimsuit in two colors and a new set of pajamas, which I do not let Sunghoon see. I didn't want him to try to have sex with me here, because I didn't want to be banned from one of my favorite stores.

He opens the door to his white SUV for me after putting my bags in the back. But as we are driving back, he looks over at me, a sexy smile on his face.

"You want to try one of your positions?"

"When we get back to your place?" I ask, looking away from him. How can he casually talk about sex like this?

"I was thinking now." He laughs. "You remember when Y/n and Seunghee do it in the backseat of his car, right?"

"Sunghoon..."

"If you don't want to, all you have to do is say no." He reaches out and places a hand on my leg, giving it a squeeze.

"It's not that I don't want to." I admit, quietly. "Do you have protection?"

"I do. But I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

I am silent for a moment as his thumb moves over my leg reassuringly. I could say no and we could go back to his apartment. I know the episode in my comic that he is referring to. Seunghee and Y/n were coming back from the club after she saw her crush with another girl. It was after they agreed to be friends with benefits and he pulled off to the side of a backroad.

"Okay." I nod, looking over at him. "As long as we don't get caught."
