Chapter 37: his side?

Recap
Did he see?

I couldn't help but gulp at his sight.

He was standing at a further distance but not too far.

Could it be that...he's seen the box being given in my hand?

Has he....caught me already?

End of recap

Sia's pov

My heart is beating so fast, I need to calm down.

I forced a smile and went closer.

"Should we go?" I asked, pretending nothing just occurred.

If he knows anything, he'll surely explode.

"Why were you all the way there? I was looking for you". He smiled and placed a hand on one of my cheek.

"I-uh...was admiring that blue ferry. It's bigger than I had expected. I also really like the colour." I pointed at a random blue boat I happened to catch a glimpse of earlier.

I looked at him to see him still smiling.

"Well you can admire from upclose because that's the one we are going in". He gently took my hand in his and began heading towards the ferry. Both of us walking shoulder to shoulder.

"Oh, what a surprise". I managed to say.

What a relief! From the way he's acting, it means he hasn't noticed anything unusual. It's my luck that the timing was perfect. Or else, I was done for today.

He looked to my side with a smile, before looking back ahead.

It didn't take us long to get on board. I could see big bright smiles on the faces of the children running around as we went in.

I couldn't help but smile at them. They are so...innocent. Having no clue how cruel life could be. The only thing that matters to them is playing around at this age, I hope no kid has to grow up and live a painful life. Especially not like mine.

My attention was grabbed when Jungkook pulled me in another direction. I turned to look ahead to see him leading me to a private seating area with a nice view. An assistant came to help with our stuff and left after getting us settled.

There was a huge glass through which I could see the water perfectly as the sun shinned upon it. I sat on my seat, watching everything while Jungkook kept watching me.

"What?" I asked as I looked right at him with a little smile. Trying not to be rude.

His eyes were soft and a smile crawled up his lips.

"You look gorgeous".

I didn't even know how to respond to his compliment. My cheeks began getting hot and I'm sure I was blushing.

I can't feel this way.

I shyly looked away, not knowing what to say but the minute I began gazing at the blue water, I started panicking again. The thought of him seeing what just happened earlier was driving me crazy.
