Chapter 8 - Locked Together

Sana POV

"It's really broken" I sighed in defeat when I realized that the door won't really open after I keep on twisting the door knob for the nth time.

"I-It w-won't open?" I heard Dahyun asked from behind as I turned around and gave her a nod. I looked at my phone to see if I can call someone but it turns out that my phone is already dead. 

"Do you have your phone?" I asked but she just shook her head and looked down.

"I-I don't have one" she responded to which I just sighed and sat down. Thankfully, the bathroom is clean enough to sit on the floor. Dahyun sat down a little farther away from me, probably because she's kind of awkward after what happened a while ago.

A very awkward silence surrounded the whole bathroom. No one dared to utter any words to each other since the scenario a while ago is probably fresh in our minds. I sent the guards and maids on a vacation so I really don't have anyone to worry about my whereabouts right now. My father is on a business trip that's why I'm left all alone at home. 

I exhaled and secretly glanced at Dahyun who's hugging her bag. Her glasses fell just by the tip of her nose and her lips are puckered a little.

Adorable. I bit the inside of my cheeks to stop myself from smiling. She might think that I'm some kind of crazy woman who would smile out of nowhere, that's why I don't want her to get turnoff. 

Wait

Why do I care if she gets turnoff or not?  

"Tss" My thoughts were cut off when she winced in pain whenever she placed the towel that she soaked in cold water on the side of her head. I bit my lip in embarrassment and looked down at my lap after remembering what happened after the kiss.

Flashback

Dahyun immediately after she realized what just happened. Meanwhile, out of shock and panic, I...

*Slap*

...I accidentally slap her which caused her to fall on the side. 

Once she was not on top of me, I immediately sat up and touch my lips. I felt my cheeks heating up along with something erupting inside my stomach to which I couldn't explain.

I broke out of my trance when a groan was heard from beside me. I turned my head to the side and saw Dahyun clutching the side of her head while rubbing her red cheek. Her glasses fell on the floor but luckily, it didn't broke.

My eyes widen in realization when I remembered what I just did to her which is probably the reason why she hit her head.

Shit, Sana you pabo! I thought and stood up to help her

"I'm so sorry Dahyun"

End of flashback

I don't know why I suddenly slapped her, maybe because I was surprised that someone took my first kiss or is it because of panic...gay panic?

Argh I don't know anymore. 

I admit that kiss started a whole damn zoo inside my stomach even when I'm just remembering it right now. I have no idea why I'm feeling like this since it's all new to me.  I ran my fingers through my hair as I held my bag in my hands while my mind keeps going back to that accidental kiss that we shared.

Her soft plump lips, her minty breath and how they felt good against mine.

Wait

What the fuck are you thinking Sana?  immediately shook my head to remove such thoughts.

That kiss is making me crazy. Gosh! I looked at my watch to know how long we've been locked inside the bathroom.

6:56 PM

Wait, we've been here for a while already?

I took a glance at Dahyun again, who's still busy with what she's doing. The awkward atmosphere is slowly suffocating me and I don't know how long we will be here together, so might as well break the silence.  

"Uhmm...Dahyun?" I called as she slowly look up to me.

"I-I'm really s-sorry" I stuttered, mentally slapping myself.

Get it together Minatozaki

"I-It's okay Miss S-Sana, it w-was an a-accident" I looked down at my lap and smiled a little remembering how cute she was when stuttering.

Why is it that the little things she do makes me smile?

The awkward silence took over us again as I peeked at Dahyun again and saw her rubbing her red cheek that has my handprint.

Oh God, I really did slap her hard. I thought as I started to play with my fingers while thinking if I should help her or not?

It's your fault Minatozaki, of course you should help!  My inner self told me as I took a deep breath. 

Aish, fuck this awkwardness. I thought and stood up from the cold floor. She looked at me confusedly as I walked towards her and sat down in front of her.

"Let me" I said and took the towel from her hand before placing it on the side of her head that hit the floor. She was probably caught of guard from my sudden action.

"I-I can do it M-Miss S-Sana" she said and was about to take the towel but I moved my hand away from her.

"It was my fault, so let me help" I said as she was about to disagree again but decided not to  when I placed the towel on her head again. 

"Does it still hurt?" I asked as she slowly shook her head and looked down. I placed my other hand on the cheek that wasn't hurt before I slowly raised her head to look at me. I lowered the cold towel down to her red cheek as my eyes landed on her perfect kissable lips. 

I unconsciously started caressing the other side of her cheek while my eyes stared at the lips that I just tasted a while ago. An atmosphere filled with tension started to grow while our gazes keep on shifting from each other's eyes to our lips. But it soon broke when Dahyun cleared her throat to speak.

"I-I'm sorry Miss S-Sana" she suddenly said which made me stop from what I was doing and stared at her confusedly.

"W-Why are you apologizing?" I asked as she bit her lip.

Stop biting it! 

I might taste them again

"I d-didn't m-mean to k-kiss you" she stuttered as I looked down and grinned a little.

"It was an accident Dahyun, don't worry" I gave her an assuring smile to which she sighed in relief.

Accidental kiss

But you liked it Minatozaki

"Does your cheek still hurt?" I asked as she shook her head.

"It doesn't hurt as much as before" she answered as I thought of an idea how to lessen the pain.

I slowly leaned towards her to plant a small kiss on her red cheek. It only lasted for a few seconds before I pulled away to look at her surprised face. Just like her, I was also surprised on what I just did.

Oh shit! Think of an excuse Sana

"M-My mom u-used to that t-to me when I-I would g-get hurt" I quickly moved away and placed the cold wet towel on the sink. 

The atmosphere started to get awkward again as I sat down beside her though there's only a few inches between us. I took a quick look at Dahyun and saw her biting her lip as if she's trying to stop herself from smiling.

I internally giggled and looked away. I rubbed my palms together feeling myself started to get cold since I'm only wearing a short sleeve shirt as my top. Dahyun must have noticed what I was doing because she suddenly unzipped her bag and looked for something.

I looked at her confusedly when she took out a jacket. She looked at me and shyly handed me the jacket that she's holding.

"W-Wear it Miss S-Sana" she said as I raised both of my eyebrows.

"How about you?" I asked as she opened the jacket and put it around me.

"It's okay Miss S-Sana, I'm not that cold" she said and gave me an assuring smile.

"T-Thank you" I thanked her as she looked away with pink tint on her cheeks and reddish ears.  I smiled and hugged the jacket as its scent immediately filled my senses.

She smells good. I noticed from my peripheral how Dahyun keeps on clasping her hands, her lips were trembling a little and she would hug her bag tighter as if she's trying to seek warmth from it.

Not cold huh?

I scooted closer to her and felt her tensed a little. I removed the jacket from behind and placed it on both of our laps but even though it didn't totally covered the both of us, it was enough to keep us warm.

"I-I'm fine Miss S-Sana" her shaky voice didn't escape my ears.

"Nope, I know you're cold too" I said as she didn't dare to say anything anymore because it's true. She was still tensed and kept on trying to avoid eye contact with me that's why I had the urge to ask her a question.

"Dahyun?" I called as she looked at me.

"Do I-I make you u-uncomfortable?" I asked as she immediately shook her head as a response to my question.

"W-why do you ask?" she stuttered again as I chuckled

"Why are you stuttering?" I asked as she bit her lip and looked away.

"I-I'm nervous b-because I'm in the same r-room as you. I-Imagine being with the one and only Minatozaki S-Sana i-inside the b-bathroom." she stammered as I giggled.

"You don't have to be nervous Dahyun, it's just me" I said and looked away from her.

"Y-You a-are the reason why I-I'm nervous" she said that's why my eyes shifted back to her again.

"Why?" I asked as pursed her lips before looking at me in the eyes.

"Uhmm...y-you're r-really pretty"

"You think I'm pretty?" I asked as her eyes widen when she realized what she blurted out.

"N-No...uhhm..." she stuttered again as I looked at her in amusement.

"What?" I grinned as she struggled to find the next words to say.

"...I-I mean you're b-beautiful" she said as I stared at her dark brown orbs.

Getting compliments is not new to me anymore but when it comes from her

It's different

It's just a simple compliment









But why did it make my heart flutter so much?
