Counting Stars (In A Relationship With EXO Kai)

14 | Nightmare

Since the readers are increasing, I want to ask you guys to spare some time to leave comments. It would mean world to me.

I sat in bed, and exchanged a glance with Jongin as we both turned to see Chen aka Jongdae walking back and forth in the room. He checked the cds, locks, windows and what not for the hundredth time and nodded to himself.

"Oppa, everything is okay." I stood up and held his hands. "I will be here with Eun Sang unnie, so you go and complete the task in hand."

He smiled. "If Sana wasn't on vacation with Xiumin, I wouldn't have asked you for this, but thank you, Sunhee." Patting my head, he glanced at Jongin. "Stay with her and take care of both of them. Okay?"

"I'll be here in the evening. Don't worry." Jongin gave him a thumbs up.

His phone chimed and he read the message. "Luhan said Eun Sang is pissed that we've appointed a security for her." Chen chuckled. "She's dramatic, but it's alright. As long as she is safe, it is okay."

I watched him and something struck my mind. Wait. Was Chen also in love with Eun Sang? Did he know Luhan loved her too? Judging by their interactions till now, I didn't think so. But, whom did Eun Sang like? Chen? Because she definitely had no romantic feelings for Luhan. Chen left and I fell back in bed again.

Jongin laid beside me. "I've some work to finish then I'll join you for dinner."

"I'm sleepy. Unnie isn't coming back till 5-6." I yawned. "What to do till then?"

"Let's take a nap." Jongin wrapped an arm around me and pulled me into his embrace. It was impossible to imagine ourselves in this position months ago, but with time we got closer and it didn't feel awkward. His touch, embrace everything felt normal.

"Jongin," I murmured against his chest. "YG is asking me to debute as an actress already, but I'm not ready yet. I don't even have had my first kiss yet and they brought me a script that had a lot of kissing scenes."

"You're just 20," He grumbled. "Have they lost their mind?"

"The movie is based on some depressed teenagers who find solace in intimacy. I mean the concept is great, but... I'm not really comfortable with it right now." I sighed and looked up at him. "Imagine having your first kiss with an actor, in front of hundreds of people. I would rather jump off the bridge."

"Then don't do it." He stared down at me. "Sunshine, I'm sorry that you are unable to visit our dorms nowadays because of Tao. I never intended for it to become awkward, but I guess, it is what it is."

"Tao ignores my existence most of the times." I wanted to tell him that Tao thought there was something going on between us, but I didn't want to make things uncomfortable between us. What if Jongin distanced himself from me because of others' assumptions.

"Are you upset about it?" Jongin asked. "Do you want me to talk to him?"

I shook my head. "It's okay. He'll come around after accepting my unsaid decision." I again leaned into his warmth and he placed a hand over my head, brushing my hair down. "I was talking to Fei today."

"What did she say?"

"That people are superficial and will only look at my face." My heart felt heavy. "Imagine working your ass off and people only talking about your visuals."

"Funny. Ae-Cha said the same thing earlier." Jongin placed his chin on my head. "She complained that everyone keeps saying that she's beautiful and doesn't compliment her dancing."

"Well, I guess this is how world works though. I hate it but can't complaint about it anymore." I lifted my head on my elbow and stared down at him. "Last week, a male model asked me out and said that there's no way I could be single. That I must've had people fall in love with me left and right."
