Swing

When I got home, I scanned the empty house. There was no sign of Mi-Young or Hyung. I took off my shoes and made my way into the kitchen to find something to eat. I haven't eaten all day and my stomach was begging to be fed.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh my god! Hyung, you scared me! I thought you weren't home!" I jumped at the boy who appeared out of thin air. He laughed at my reaction and then moved closer to me.

"Are you cooking? Do you need help?"

"Uhh... No! No, Hyung. I got it. You can go do your own thing. I'll call you when the food is ready."

"Can I watch you then?" He asked with the cutest eye smile ever at me.

"Ummm... No, you can't Hyung. Go watch TV or something."

"But watching you will be more fun than watching TV," he pouted back at me while taking a seat on the stool at the kitchen counter. His elbows were on the counter and his hands cupped his own smiling face while he continued to stare at me.

Why did he have to be so damn cute!? My heart can't take it. I turned around before he could see my scarlet colored face. I glimpsed over my shoulder and there he was, still watching me. I spun back around and tried to stay as calm as I could.

His eyes followed my every movement. To the fridge, the sink, back to the fridge, and to the kitchen counter in front of him.

"Hyung! Can you not look at me? You're making me nervous...."

"How am I making you nervous?" He grinned widely back at me.

"Because..... you keep staring," I shyly answered while gazing down at my feet as if it was the most interesting thing in the world.

"Why can't I watch my dongsang cook? You wouldn't even let me help you."

He got up from his seat and inched towards me.

"Are you going to let me help you then?" He bent down close to my face. My heart flutter and I just blinked while staring back into his beautiful brown orbs, drowning in them as every second passed.

The front door swung opened and in walked Mi-Young balancing 2 boxes of pizza and a bottle of 40 oz Coke in her hands.

"Dinner's ready! You don't have to cook tonight boyfriend," she beamed back at me.

Feeling so relieved that she came back before I had a heart attack, I rushed to her and hugged her.

"Ohhhh, thank you so much girlfriend. You're the best."

"I know I am," she giggled back at me.

I went back to the kitchen counter and put everything away to clear up the counter. Mi-Young set the pizza down and walked to the cupboards to grab some paper plates and plastic cups and set them down on the counter next to the pizza.

"I am staving! Let's eat!" Mi-Young excitedly clapped before she dug in.

We all must have been hungry because it was just the three of us tonight and we devoured those two boxes of pizza within 30 mins.

"I'm so stuffed!" Mi-Young called out as she leaned back in her seat while rubbing her tummy.

"Me too," I said mimicking her in my own chair.

Hyung just laughs at us while he got up to start clearing the counter.

"Just leave it Hyung. My parents aren't home to yell at us if we don't clean-"

I had forgotten for a split second that my parents are not home for the next few weeks. I look to Mi-Young who was still rubbing her tummy with her eyes closed.

I am so glad Mi-Young is here tonight.

"Ummm, we can clean it up tomorrow Hyung. If you are tired, you can go to sleep first."

"I'm not tired yet. I want to hang out with you for a bit. Let's watch your favorite movie tonight and stay up all night like we use to back then."

No, no, no! Why Hyung. I can't be alone with you.

"Um, can Mi-Young stay up with us too?"

He looked disappointed when I mentioned Mi-Young, but smiled back at me and agreed. We left all the trash on the kitchen counter and made our way to the couch. I purposely walked slower so that Hyung and Mi-Young could head to the living room first to see where they were going to sit. I wanted to sit away from Hyung.

Hyung sat down in the middle of the couch and Mi-Young sat to his left. I quickly made my way over to Mi-Young's left side since there was still a bit of space left, but Hyung grabbed my hand and pulled me over to sit down next to him on his right side. We were sitting in the same exact position when we went to the theater that one time when he and I... almost touched lips. I shivered at the thought because I felt the chills run down my spine and I couldn't look at Hyung.

"Are you cold? I can run to grab a blanket for you?"

"No! No, I'm okay."

"You sure? Are you still sick?" He asked as he placed a hand on my forehead. I hurriedly removed his hand away from my forehead.

"Don't worry Hyung. I'm fine. Let's just watch the movie."

About an hour into the movie, I heard some light snoring over by Mi-Young. I turned to look and she had fallen asleep. What an adorable girl. I giggled and nudged Hyung so that he could see as well. We both snickered and got up to let her sleep comfortably on the couch.

"Do you want to grab some fresh air?" Hyung asked.

I really didn't want to go anywhere alone with him, but with the amount of pizza I ate earlier, a little walk was much needed.

"Sure. I guess we can."

Hyung and I walked to our playground. I ran up to the set of swing and started to swing. I've missed this feeling. It feels just as though I'm flying. I laughed and giggled while trying to swing as high as I could.

I felt a light push on my back. I turn my head around and Hyung was behind me and pushing me with such a huge grin on his face. I was reminded of our past when he used to push me on these same swings.

"Hyung higher!! I want to fly!! AHHHH!!" I screamed as he pushes me higher and higher.

My inner child had been released and I wanted to just fly away into the night sky. Hyung let out a loud laugh and then he ran in front of me.

"Hyung! What are you doing? Stop! I might hit you!" I said as I tuck my feet back. I stop the swing by digging my feet into the woodchip on the ground. When the swing stopped I frowned at Hyung.

"I could have hurt you, you know?" I pouted to Hyung. He didn't say anything. Instead, he just simply blinked his eyes wider than normal at my pouting face, almost as if he found it to be cute. He started to blush a bit and then cleared his throat. He quickly bent down and grabbed both my ankles and started to walk backward while pulling me forward.

"Hyung! Stop it!" I giggled while he continues to pull. When he couldn't go back any farther, he let go of my ankles and I swung back. He ran behind me and started to push me once again but this time not too hard. I closed my eyes while taking in the wind on my face and in my hair.

All of a sudden, Hyung had grabbed the swing on both sides and it caused the swing to slowly swayed back and forth until it came to a full stop with my back up against his chest. My eyes now opened and enlarged when his hands slowly traveled down the chain of the swing until both his hand was placed over mine. He slowly broke my hand from clutching the metal chain and replaced it with his hands, intertwined.

By now, I was breathing heavily and my heart wanted to jump right out of my chest. His heart was racing just as fast. I could feel how it was beating in sync with mine. I muster enough courage to slightly turn my head towards Hyung. He was breathing heavily as well with eyes locked on mine. He leaned in and rests his forehead against mine and shut his eyes closed. My eyes soon followed and we said nothing but listened to the other breathe until he finally broke the silence.

"What are you doing to me Hani? You're driving me crazy, don't you know that?"

I immediately flutter my eyes open to find that his brown orbs were already gazing into mine.

Before I knew it, I felt his soft plump lips on mine. He let go of my hands and brought both his hands up to gently cup my face as he deepens the kiss between us. Not knowing what to do with my hands, I gripped the swing hard to keep from falling off while Hyung kisses me. Fireworks were booming in my heart and the butterflies wouldn't stop dancing in my stomach.

When he breathlessly pulled away from the kiss, he whispered ever so softly to me....

"You should know by now what you mean to me Hani or do I have to show you more?"
