"𝙏𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙞𝙩" Mr Jeon's word lingered on my skin and ignited me.
The feeling that comes when you know the risks, when you know one move and everything would go downhill, yet you're ready to risk...

We soon reached and although, I expected that it would be crowded but didn't know it would be flowing with people.
I turned my head towards Mr Jeon who was frowning at every person passing by him. He must have wanted to spend his Sunday night at his home and I was kinda feeling guilty to drag him here with us.
"You shouldn't frown much. It'll get permanent," I tried to loosen the stiffness of the mood. He didn't say anything and I thought maybe I shouldn't have said that. But after another second, he gave me a half smile that almost touched his lips and then did his classic eye roll thing that he used to do.
"Guys come here!" I shifted my eyes off him when I heard Jimin and Lia, who had reached here early after their first date together.
They had secured a spot for us between a crowd of people standing and waiting for the fireworks show. Loud music was hitting the speakers and it was a kind of ambience that would bring a smile to anyone's face.
I took a quick glimpse of my grumpy professor with permanent frowns.
Okay not to anyone's face.
We reached our spot and waited till it finally started. Lia and Jimin were ahead of us, Maya and I were standing together. Mr Jeon was standing behind us, like a wall, almost covering us from the crowd. It felt good.
"Wow, so pretty!" I almost cried, my hands stuck to my chest as I was admiring the view, Maya started taking pictures to upload to her profile and the very new formed couple were holding their hands together. Lia and Jimin were truly the cutest couple.
To my left, about a few twenty steps of distance an elderly couple was standing. They were quite out of the crowd and I could see the lady was trying her hardest to catch a good glimpse of the view. "Maya, hold my spot"
"Where are you going?"
I walked towards them. They were really old, almost at the age of my grandparents and were getting afraid to get into the crowd.
"Come with me," they followed me as I walked with them at my spot slowly and Maya shifted a little to give them space.
We stepped a little back and made room for them, they both stood in front of me and Maya.
They both smiled and hugged each other as another round of fireworks started. Maya clicked a selfie with them as I peeked from behind and just a small glimpse of Mr Jeon's face came into that picture, side eyeing us.
All of a sudden it got more compact and I was pushed back to Mr Jeon's body. He was standing still like a rigid wall behind me as I almost tripped over him.
"You can take support," his voice roughly touched my skin as I was standing in front of him, with our bodies in contact. I gulped my nervousness down, every bit of my skin was set on fire just like last day when his hand touched mine.
I was fully covered under my hoodie and skirt but the way I was feeling every contour and cuts of his body as if we were standing naked, touching each other, skin to skin.
I closed my eyes briefly when my mind automatically started making mental images of my thoughts, us standing naked like this. I gasped suddenly and shot open my eyes.
My breathing started getting heavy and all of a sudden I was short on breath. I could feel the heat radiating from his body, that was enough to burn me into ashes.
I clutched the sides of my skirt and bit my lower lips to control my urges. I was insane at that moment for wanting him to hold me tightly and let me feel him all over me.
Definitely not in my right sense.
Even my mind was not helping my situation and I couldn't even concentrate on the show anymore. I could hear my rapid breathing.
And the next moment I knew, I just imploded when he lowered his head near my ear and whispered, "calm down your breathing, girl. You're not helping."
Helping in what? I knew he was talking about the packed crowd but still my mind forced me to find alternate meanings of his words.
The heat of his breath caressed my skin like a soft velvet and I almost wanted to surrender myself to him. I closed my eyes for a second, knowing his head was still close to me.
He was watching me, watching me losing my breath only because of his little touch. I licked my dried lips before turning my head a little towards him. He was towering over my frame, his throat was right in front of my eyes and all I could think about was to kiss his neck right at that moment. I lingered my gaze a little above towards his lips and then to his eyes, which were busy looking at the fireworks.
And suddenly, his lips moved but his eyes were still glued to the sky.
"You shouldn't look at me like that, girl—", my breath hitched, the next second he lowered his gaze, staring down at me. Pinning me with his cold eyes that somehow ignited me.
"—it would make us look indecent."
Heat scorched my skin and my mind got hinged to his last word. Indecent, I know what would mean being indecent with him.
He paused, looked at my lips and then again tossed his eyes back on mine.
I looked down and wiped my tongue over my dried lips as a fresh wave of embarrassment covered me from head to toe. "Y-yeah…i..didn't, I'm sorry." I was feeling like lying on fresh lava.
"It's all right." He said and I went back to watching fireworks. But one thing I knew if there would be a temperature scale to compare the hotness, I was leading the race leaving behind all these fireworks.
