Chapter 47 - Lame
"Why are you apologizing again?" he replied, sounding displeased.
"Because I dragged you to that crowded place."
When Kira opened his eyes, he saw that she looked guilty. He frowned as he lifted his hand, and pinched her nose. "I purposely let you drag me because I am curious about that marching band as well. So stop looking like an apologetic mushroom now." He sighed and just like that, Zeri\'s face lit up. Kira was also surprised at how easily she switched gears.
She even smiled at him and threw back her hair and looked at the sky.
"I didn\'t know that dates are this fun…" she said. "Thank you for bringing me here, even though you didn\'t enjoy it as much as I do."
Kira slightly blushed upon hearing her. "It\'s not like I didn\'t enjoy at all… it\'s just that…" he closed his eyes and sighed, "never mind…" he trailed off and Zeri looked down at him, blinking.
"Are you okay?" she suddenly looked worried.
"I\'m very FINE."
"But your face is red again! Should I carry you to the hospital?" Zeri asked, she was starting to panic.
Kira\'s lips twitched upon hearing the words \'carry you\' but it didn\'t frustrate him anymore. He just calmly held her wrist and placed her palm on top of the wet towel on his forehead.
"I\'m fine. My face is red because it\'s hot. Get it? Just let me stay like this for a while." He said, and then he closed his eyes again. Zeri worriedly surveyed his face. He didn\'t seem to be in pain or uncomfortable so she finally relaxed.
"I think you\'re exhausted. How about you take a nap?" suggested Zeri and she saw his lips curved up. He really looked like a beautiful painting, still looking perfect despite his state.
"Do you want me to touch your hair?" she added causing Kira to open his eyes again. He was about to speak but Zeri already started caressing his hair. "My little siblings fall asleep fast when I do this to their hair."
Kira felt his face turned even hotter. Her hand on his hair felt so damn nice. He didn\'t know that a simple thing like this would cause chaos inside him. He was feeling some strange emotion within him. He would\'ve never thought that he would end up in this state. Lying on her lap, with her caressing his hair and he goddamn like it. He wanted this moment to last as long as possible, despite knowing that they were in a public place. Kira never enjoyed flirting in public, he didn\'t like it when his girlfriend asked for a kiss or anything intimate in public places. But this time, strangely, he didn\'t even care. He didn\'t know why but he felt so refreshed or maybe extremely lighthearted. He couldn\'t explain the feeling but it just felt so damn right. He had never been with anyone who made him feel so many emotions.
This girl who had frustrated him throughout the day drove him crazy with all her antiques and even ruined everything that he planned was now making him felt soothed and utterly satisfied just by offering her lap to be his pillow and even caressing his hair. Zeri Kim… don\'t do this… I…
Before he knew it, Kira drifted to sleep.
Zeri was surprised that he actually fell asleep that fast, even faster than her siblings. It appeared that this adventure exhausted him to the limit. This made her convinced herself that this guy\'s body was maybe really weak even though he kept denying it. She began to think that it might be the reason why he looked frustrated the entire time since they entered this place and he kept refusing her request to go here.
Thinking about it still made her feel guilty. Unbeknownst to her, Kira actually just got this exhausted because apart from his hate for crowded places, the young man actually didn\'t sleep at all last night, thinking and plotting about this date and how to make the squirrel fall head over heels for him.
Time ticked by and Kira finally opened his eyes. He squeezed his eyes shut twice before he finally adjusted with the light. The first thing he was an angel\'s face – Zeri\'s face. Her eyes were closed. He felt her hand on his forehead and his eyes slowly widened as the realization hit him.
He was about to rise when Rei\'s face appeared. "Shhh…" Rei signaled Kira to not move as he typed something on his phone and showed it to him.
"You fell asleep for more than an hour. How could you sleep on her that long you, idiot?" Rei sighed as he retracted the phone and then typed on it again. "She fell asleep just a minute ago so don\'t wake her up. Let her doze off for a while."
Kira was completely stunned after reading the words he typed. He didn\'t even seem to notice that Rei just called him an idiot for the first time. His eyes then looked up and the moment he saw that the sky was already red, indicating that it was already sunset, his jaw dropped. He couldn\'t believe it.
He slowly lifted his hand and covered his eyes. He didn\'t know what to say. He actually fell asleep for more than an hour?! Ha, ha, ha… Kira, you\'re unbelievable…
Kira couldn\'t help but laugh at himself. He couldn\'t fathom why he always ends up being lame every time he\'s with this girl. Why can\'t normal things happen when he\'s with her? He absolutely didn\'t like this. He liked sleeping on her lap like this, he liked it when she caressed his hair but… he wanted to be the one doing all these to her. And this was the first he desired anything like this in his life…
