Marriage with an Idol - Chapter 2:Began with Sharky and ended with...
I feel as if there is no earth below me or even the sky above me… This cannot possibly be real, it must be a hidden camera.
Yoo Kihyun… Of Monsta X
Yoo Kihyun stood in my kitchen… he was wearing an apron that had a shark and hamster animation drawn on it. I have never seen this kind of apron in my kitchen before… This must be a hidden camera. I quickly start to look around for the hidden camera. I quickly race over to the cabinet that’s half open since it looks suspicious. I mean the camera could be there for all I don’t know… Oh god, I am not even making sense to myself now… what is going on?
A pair of arms wraps its self around my waist and soon I can feel his body temperature against my back. I quickly jump out of his embrace while shrieking in a high pitch, and as soon as I do that I feel a sharp pain at my back. I must have hit the worktop, but I don’t turn around to check.
“Sharky, what’s wrong?”
What? Sharky? That’s not my name… that’s right! Kihyun might have gotten the wrong person. Sharky must be his fan that he wants to surprise… That’s right, this is the only explanation there is… I must quickly clear up this misunderstanding before it gets worse…
“Sorry, but I think you have gotten the wrong person… I am not Sharky” I reply slowly to make sure that my voice doesn’t stutter.
I expect Kihyun to turn away and call out the hidden staff and tell them that this is not the right place. Yes! This is how it should go! Right? I was hoping that this scenario that I was imagining would come true. Everything would be over… but I was a bit sad at the thought of him leaving with the crew though. I know I will be selfish if I forced them to stay for dinner… but then again I am not an excellent cook either…
“What’s wrong with you Sharky?” Kihyun approaches me with a worried expression on his face.
What’s going on? Shouldn’t what I imagined be happening right now? I could feel the urgency in my legs of wanting to run away but there was nowhere I could escape from. I mean there is a cabinet behind me and a breakfast bar in front of me where I discovered Kihyun stood with delicious food prepared in front of him. On my right side, there is a wall and on the left side stood the charming Kihyun… I mean I could stay like this for a little longer…
Wait! What am I thinking? I should walk away… and before I know it, Kihyun is stood right in front of me. His arms on either side of me on the worktop. I can feel his strong arms imprisoning me… no… I shouldn’t fall for this.
“Did you drink? I know its Christmas Eve, but you shouldn’t drink out with your friends. If you were going to do that, you should have called me to pick you up…” Kihyun sounds a bit angry like the time when he was performing on the stage and the others member were teasing him so he told them to stop. It was the same tone but this time, his voice sounded gentle and full of worries but with just a little hint of anger.
Pick me up? Call him? Did I drink? Am I drunk right now? Things are just getting weird now and I cannot even tell how my expressions are changing… maybe Kihyun saw how confused I looked and he started to explain things to me. Things like who I was and where I worked but none of that caught my attention until the part where he talked about himself!
“… Sharky, it’s me! Your cute hamster. Well, that’s the nickname we came up…” Kihyun started to laugh at whatever memory he was thinking about… but in middle of all of this, I was still lost.
“I think you drank a lot…” Kihyun sounded a bit sad. Is he sad about not being able to celebrate Christmas Eve… what is he thinking? I carefully explore his expression and soon he starts grinning… what kind of situation did I get myself in?
“Sharky… Is this one of your pranks again? Do you want me to remind you of who I am like always?” Kihyun’s voice sounds a bit childish but I couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to his words because my thoughts were overpowering my hearing ability. Remind me? How? And what does he mean by always? This is the first I have seen Kihyun alone! Is he confused or am I confused?
Kihyun slowly starts leaning forward… until his face is 1 inch away from my face. Instinctively I close my eyes quickly… wait… why did I do that? I am such an idiot and I am an even more of an idiot for thinking that he will kiss me. I must look super stupid in front of him right now. I wanted to dig a hole in my kitchen and put myself in there.
I could feel a warm breath at the tip of my nose. Does that mean Kihyun is going to kiss me? If he kisses me then I would know if this is a dream or not… No! There is no way this is going to happen… Right? I wanted to push Kihyun away and tell him to stop but there must be a desire deep inside my heart that wanted this to happen. I close my eyes, even more, tighter and as soon as I do that, I hear a playful quite laughter come from Kihyun.
“Not right now Sharky…” Kihyun whispers these words in my ears.
I quickly open my eyes… When did he move from being near my lips to ears? But then again I had my eyes closed tightly so I couldn’t have seen him doing that… I look up at Kihyun stood there smiling. His arms behind his back and had a playful smile on his face. Kihyun leans forward again but this time I don’t close my eyes cause I won’t fall for this again.
I wish I had closed my eyes later though… he leans forward and kisses my forehead gently. I can feel the sense of warmth travelling through the top of my head and through my body. I cannot feel any type of sensation in my body except the part where he kissed. I slowly move my hand to touch my forehead…
Kihyun moves away from me and goes to the breakfast bar where all the food is laid out… I look at him still in shock and disbelief. He looks up slowly and smiles looking at the state I am in. I am surprised he smiled instead of laughing… I mean anyone would laugh if they saw me like this.
“Go and fresh yourself up Sharky… we will continue where we left off from after Dinner” He winks at me and starts smiling again…
My legs run out of strength and I fall on the floor… Continue? What does he mean? I know I am not a kid to not understand that… but does he mean what I think he means? I close my eyes tightly and think of everything… I never thought that closing my eyes will bring me another twist… I wish I hadn’t close my eyes at that time if I knew how things would end up being…
