DAY 10

It's a new morning and you wake up from a phone call; not an ideal way to wake up. In fact, you hate to be woken up by anything. 

Well, except for this.

It's Kai calling you, and you hurry to click the small green button that would allow you to listen to his velvet voice. You're never usually this excited in the morning.

"Good morning." He says to you.

"Good morning." You reply, instantly mesmorized by the sound of his voice.

"Would you like to go out today?"

"I'd love to!" You say enthusiastically. You hear him chuckle on the other end of the line. You smile at the sound of his laugh. Everything about him is just so godly. So perfect. How could he like someone like you?

"I'll meet you, okay? Just have to finish up something real quick."

"Okay." He gives you the location that he wants to meet at and you two say your goodbyes and hang up.

You rush to put on a suitable outfit. You aren't one to wear makeup, so you put on some lipgloss and stopped there. You grab a small bag to put your phone and the hotel key in, along with some money for snacks. Then you run out the door after leaving a note for your roommate. 

You head to the restaurant he wants to eat lunch at, hoping that he might already be there. He's not. You're walking towards the restaurant slowly when you suddenly see someone familiar in front of you. His dark brown hair, short and wavy, seems an awful lot like someone. He's tall, but not insanely so. You can't quite seem to put your finger on it. There are girls beside him, snapping pictures of his face, but he easily ignores them. He seems used to it already. Then he turns around and you see those wide, deer-in-the-headlights eyes.

"Kyungsoo!" You see him turn around quickly, a little too quickly if anything.

"Ah...A-annyeong." He bows, and gives you a smile.

"Annyeong!" You say cheerily, and then you give him a little bow.

He asks you what you're doing here and you give a sheepish smile, but you don't answer right away. He smiles back at you.

"Do you...want to get something to eat?" He says this with a spark in his eyes. Your expression darkens a little and when he sees this, his face also falls. You feel bad about having to reject his idea.

"Sorry, Kyungsoo-ah...I'm actually here to mee---"

Arms reach around and hug you from behind. A chin rests on your head. Usually, you'd be really freaked out by this if you hadn't recognized those lean fingers so quickly. "Hyung~" The man behind you says. That deep voice that he uses to intoxicate fangirls. "What are you talking about with my girlfriend?" 

Your heart almost stops at the sound of that. He called me his girlfriend... His arms are still around you, and you can feel his breath on your forehead. You can almost imagine his face right now. He's smirking at Kyungsoo with a joking attitude. He's about to laugh. His eyes are sparkling with the joke. 

Except he doesn't laugh. And it's not a joke. Kyungsoo looks at Kai. You look up at him too. He does have a smirk on his face, but there's a glint in his eyes that shows that it's not just a prank. He means it. You marvel at how close his face is right now. His tan skin, his perfect jawline. All of it is just inches -- no, centimeters-- away.

Kyungsoo and Kai keep staring at each other for a while. You begin to feel a little awkward. Something seems to click in Kyungsoo's mind, and he looks back at you with a slightly apologetic smile. "Oh~" He says, chuckling. You wonder how he could be so smily and cheery all the time. If Kai had been looking at you like that, you'd be left frozen, silent, and unsure of yourself. "Ah, then I'll see you around." He gives one last wave, another little bow, another smile, and walks away. Fangirls continue taking pictures.

You look up at Kai again. He's still looking at Kyungsoo's back, as if trying to figure him out. Indentify him. His eyes sharpen a little. He looks a little like he thinks Kyungsoo is guilty of something.

I wonder what he's thinking about.

You open your mouth to ask him, but he pulls himself out of his stare to give you the most sexy smile. Not a word you'd use very often. But you can't help but think it. It's true. You feel instantly embarrassed about thinking like that. You weren't usually this...mesmerized.

He points to the restaurant entrance. You'd forgotten all about it. "Wanna go in now?" He asks you. That little smirk is still playing on the edges of his lips. You can't find your voice for a second.

"Yes. Absolutely. Let's, uh, yeah." He releases you from the tight hug and instead takes your hand in his. His skin is warm. You blush lightly. He chuckles slightly as he looks at you and sees that. He gives you a little nod.

As you two walk strut into the restaurant and Kai tells the hostess your reservation details, you can't help but thinking to yourself, Ah, the little things he does to stop my heart.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The food is amazing. The interior decor is amazing. The service is amazing.

Your date is drop-dead amazing.

You really couldn't believe it for a second. You had to think it over. The man sitting across from you loves you. You two have kissed. He looks up from his food and sees you smiling at him. He smirks as he wipes his mouth with the napkin. "Yes?"

"N-nothing." You say hurriedly. 

He looks at you again, and reaches his hand over the table. You almost flinch in surprise when he takes his thumb and wipes something from the corner of your mouth.

"You had some sauce there." You blush. Aish, so embarrassing... When had you become so high-maintenanced? He smirks, and then your eyes widen in surprise as he licks his thumb.

The date goes extremely well, and nothing out of the ordinary happens. You two also go out for dinner since you end up staying outside so late. You can't help it. You want to spend time with him, and he wants to spend time with you too. 

He's walking you back to the hotel. You two are holding hands. The question is still burning in your mind, and it blurts out of you. "Kai, why do you like me so much?"

He looks at you with shock on his face. You feel instant regret, like maybe you'd asked just the wrong question. He thinks about it for a second. Then he cups your hands in hid hands and looks you straight in the eyes. His face is three inches away, and most importantly, his lips are three inches away.

"I don't know. Isn't that the beauty of it?"

And he kisses you.
