4:A Dark Horse.

Janice*

He had his head facing sideways , the sharp jaw giving him an even more intimidating but smart look but.....

My last sentence made him snap his head down at me and he raised his brows.

"My curiosity ? is it.? "

"Maybe." I just shrugged

But perhaps it was not a good move, cuz the next what happened was , not expected.
With a heavy sigh , he tucked his hands in his jeans pockets, and stepped closer, blocking my way.

My sneaker heels were not helping at all.
I have never felt so small before. My dad is a big being as well , but this man is bigger. Why did my mitosis had to stop so early..
Well this is not the time to mourn over my height , for this guy, in front of me , can be scary. Believe me when I say scary , he does have a strong aura.
My breathing was now not stable. I could feel my palms sweaty.

"Fine, u know what,
my curiosity always gets the best of me.
So I think , this place is not ur type cuz I know it's not. U are definitely not liking it in there . You being here is all because either u are forced to tag along with Tzuyu or u don't want to be there alone. "

His words were more like facts than some random observations , done in just a few school hours.
Seriousness was dripping from his each and every word which caught the air in my lungs.
"Where?" was all I could ask.

"Your home , maybe,, u don't want to be left alone,there."
He said raising his left eyebrow.

And now I think ,there, I'm caged , cuz I could neither look away from those dark brown orbs nor could I comprehend any damn thing ,in my foggy brain, to utter.

He kept looking at me, probably noticing my state. How could he ?!! The orbs which were dark and serious till now, turned soft. He blinked a few times and said.

" I'm sorry if I got too far . I didn't mean to . "
He said quickly backing away, ensuring , I had enough space, but didn't break the eye contact. I could see the change in his comportment. Was he scared .. to hurt me?. I hope so , cuz I really want someone to worry about my feelings.
But I can't let that happen .

I was still quiet, blankly staring at him.
The crease in his forehead , now increased . Softness of eyes was replaced with antsy.
Shaking his head like a small kid, he crouched a little down
" Are you angry . Please don't be,, I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry ,don't be hurt. I, , I was just trying to be straight and not unctuous ...."

"It's okay " i said softly before he would lose his form, I couldn't understand how he could get so nervous, just about how I feel.
He stopped and was now breathing fast, the crease on his forehead was still there but this time I couldn't decipher the emotions in his eyes.

He was quiet for a long pause , just looking at farm ahead.
I know that he understood , that he has pressed an aching nerve of mine.

"Why did u say that ?"I asked , leaning on the banister with my elbows.

He kept quite for a while before placing his strong arms on the topmost bar and holding it like ... he would break it!
He turned his head towards me and spoke,

"Intuition."
Silence engulfed us once a again.

Something in his eyes , tell me who I am,
a scared and timid girl.

"Well I didn't expect that this talk would end up this way , but I do hope that you might flash some light on my intuitions. If u want to. "
He said calmly. I wish I could tell him that I don't want to talk, but just to listen him speak, it's been long since I had someone talking to me so freely ,so dulcetly.
His eyes never left mine's. I bit my lip in order to prevent myself from losing my composure. It was hard to form a sentence which would neither make me lie nor make me speak the truth out. One lie leads to thousand others, and why does it feels like, this guy won't stop after one being told.

" Mmm . Ya I do prevent myself from staying alone at home . It's nothing bad if you think so , but it's not that happy either . Dad is never home rather than work , and no Mom's at home. "
I didn't lie.
It's really not bad being home cuz it's worse .

"I don't know what to say.
I know I'm being poky and all , getting words out of you , even though u have not known me enough. .."

"Much about me . Now it's your chance." I snapped , stopping him before he could get any deeper.

He chuckled looking at me.
" Is this a game ? I'm in."

He's smart. And trustworthy?
For the game I had made this talk, might get me into a trance.

"About me... Well I was raised in California and came here because my parents decided to take over the Korean law firm. I am fine about it and am already into a new start.,
Anything else you'd like to know?"

" You look nothing like a son of an attorney couple. No wonder you are friends with Taehyung."

"Advocates , my parents are advocates who also happen to own the KLF.
And yeah , I look more like a bad boy than a sincere one. But this is just a trailer. There's a lot more in me."

"So you too are a multiple facades ".
"That'snot the word you are looking for miss Park. You can't call me a brat. Cuz I'm a Dark Horse."
He said with a wink.
And I only laughed. Naturally.
I have never loved talking to a boy like this. I don't know , where did this easiness came from . But I'm loving every bit of it .

I wish I could hold onto him , speak out to him ,every damn thing I have been keeping only to me.
But I cannot.
Trust is not a concern .
The concern is my feelings. I don't want to fall for someone who just got into my small life. I cannot make him have feelings for me , which though he won't have , but his eyes say otherwise.
I do know the Playboy look , the charmer look., Cuz that's what everyone else, out here has.

But he is different. Or am I just being hypocrite for not having a shoulder to cry on ?.

Yeah. May be .
That's my hint to leave. I can't have him wrecked with me. I can't go out and date someone whom I just talked to freely . Though the latter is rare ....

I have to stop this feeling rising within me...
It's just a teen crush Janice . C'mon get away.
You can shake it off. He's just trying to impress you . You will forget about him soon , just like the previous jerks.

Can I ?

No the bigger question is
Do I want to?
No.

A/n .
Do consider I'm amateur.
Thnks for reading.
