“Oh, you meant 6am tomorrow? I didn’t know. I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then.” I started to turn around and go back.
But he grabbed the hood of my sweatshirt. “Where do you think you’re going? Get in the car.”
He dragged me into the car, efficiently tossed my suitcase in the trunk, and got in himself.
He moved so quickly, as if he couldn’t wait to be alone with me. My heart suddenly fluttered a bit. Did he really like me?
“You haven’t eaten, right? What do you want for dinner?”
I was being silly. He was just hungry and impatient to eat.
“…Anything is fine. You decide.”
He turned his head and stared at me, then tilted his chin up slightly as if gesturing at something.
I looked down at myself. My clothes seemed fine. “What is it? Is there something on my face?”
He didn’t say anything, but leaned towards me.
His breath fanned across my face. It smelled nice.
I suddenly felt flustered. What was he trying to do?!
“You…” Is he going to kiss me again?
“Seatbelt.” His arm reached across me to fasten my seatbelt. “We’re about to leave.”
“…Oh, okay”
Help!!
Thank goodness I didn’t ask out loud. That would have been so embarrassing!
I suddenly felt my face heating up. I quickly tried to cool it down with my hands.
He didn’t notice, right…
sneakily turned my head to glance at him, only to find myself staring straight into his deep eyes.
Then I heard him laugh out loud.
He figured it out!!
I felt like my face was about to burst into flames.

“Why is your face so red?”
He knew very well why.
I turned my head away, showing him the back of my head in protest.
After a while, I heard him say, “Alright, don’t be mad. I’ll kiss you when we stop the car.”
My eyes suddenly widened. What kind of thing was he saying?
“That’s not what I meant!”
I turned to glare at him, only to see his grin stretching from ear to ear.
He was teasing me again. How annoying.
He pinched my cheek. “I’m done teasing you. Let’s get out, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Just as he was about to open the door, I quickly grabbed his face and pulled him towards me, planting a firm kiss on his cheek.
After the sneak attack, my own heart started racing uncontrollably.
Taking advantage of his stunned state, I quickly said “I’ll get out first” and ran off.
I was afraid of getting caught and having my plan backfire. But I also knew I could run from the immediate situation, but not forever.
After all, it’s not like we’d never see each other again.
But… whatever. I got my revenge for now.
