Twist Of Fate

Chapter 44: Step Up The Act

Your heart was racing frantically inside your chest, throughout the ride to Yongguk's family. You are thinking deeply about what to do, how to act, and pretend to be a happy girlfriend for Yongguk in front of his parents, when all of this didn't come natural to you, because truth is, that you are only living together to raise Ki Joon.

For a moment, you felt your chest tighten, and that uncanniness crept inside you. You brushed it off, as you had to plan your next move.

You had various ideas in your mind but didn't know how and where to begin. You chewed on the inside of your lower lip. Your emotions were building up.

Should I pretend to be overly happy? Should I look at him differently, with what they call the lovers-look? Should I be touchy? What should I really do now? You sighed deeply and pouted as you stared out.

You were feeling warm suddenly and you wore that stupid jacket because of Yongguk, when the car was heating up, or maybe it was just your body temperature that was rising.

Either way, you felt like an oven, rising in temperature. This was all Yongguk's fault, damned that jacket.

Why did you even have to wear it? maybe he didn't like to see you dressed up, maybe it made him feel uncomfortable, or worse, it reminded him that you are of the opposite gender, which he maybe doesn't like.

Oh my God, maybe he hates to look at me like this?

You held in your gasp, when you stole a glance at Yongguk, but just like always, he had that cold and unreadable look.

His eyes were on the road, they were deep and dark. He didn't have to try to look handsome, he was naturally handsome.

What am I thinking now? You wanted to laugh at yourself.

When he didn't smile, he almost looked scary, in a good way. Your thoughts were like and endless track, it had no end.

"Is everything alright, you've been quiet for a while?" He broke the silence.

Says the man, who is the best at being quiet and brooding. You bit on your bottom lip and shook your head.

"You sure?" He asked, keeping his eyes to the road, and you nodded.

"Ki Joon, is everything okay at the back? are you also feeling warm?" You asked as you stole a glance at the backseat.

Ki Joon held his Avengers figures; Thor and Hulk and he was playing with them, fighting and he made loud sounds.

"Yaaah, yaaah."

"Ki Joon?" You called out once more and in a clearer tone.

He was evidently delved in his game and didn't hear you calling his name. Ki Joon finally looked up and with a confused look. He blinked his eyes a couple of times.

"Yes?" He said with an innocent look.

"You don't feel warm, do you?" You asked, and he shook his head.

You turned around in your seat and looked out. You stole another glance at Yongguk, his eyes were fixed on the road, and his hands gripped the steering wheel somehow quite firmly. You couldn't take it anymore.

You took off the jacket and place it on your lap. Instantly, you felt Yongguk's eyes on you, but he looked at you for a split second, before he retrieved his eyes back to the road.
