Chapter 26 The Barest Touch Of Their Lips
"Jun?"
It wasn't just the iciness in his irises that made Ai puzzled. It was also his lips that were slowly curling into a sinister smile.
"Really…so annoying…why are they together…So fucking annoying…" Jun was mumbling to himself. Ai caught some words and some didn't.
But one thing was for sure.
Jun looked lethal at that moment. Deadly like a weapon who would annihilate anything that came in his path.
Ai felt as if she could see him getting engulfed in something black and evil. It was pulling him into the depths of hell. That visualization made her breathless.
It was a similar feeling like that day when Jun dealt with the college boys harassing her.
Dark, ominous, haunting.
At that time, she was being protected, but now…
If I carelessly provoke him, he might punch me in the face.
Ai studied his eyes. The intensity of whatever was bubbling within him was close to crossing its limit. is he feeling right now? Why is he looking like that? Does he hate his brother so much?
She heard him chuckle that gave her goosebumps.
"I should break them apart…How should I do it? Maybe…I should snatch her away…What face will Jin make, I wonder? Will he cry? Ah…I want to see him cry. Always…always…always fucking getting between us…"
Suddenly, his thoughts broke apart when he felt something ticklish on his fist. He rapidly blinked his eyes and forgot what he was thinking about.
He looked down and saw a stick with feathers stuck on the top of it . The feathers were what tickled him.
He traced his sight to the end of the stick and saw that it was Ai's doing. She was keeping a safe distance from him as she rubbed the feathers on his hand.
"..."
"What…Just what are you doing?"
Ai felt that it was safe to approach him now. "Tickling your hand."
His mouth twitched. "I can see that. But why?"
"You were oozing a life threatening aura - Life threatening for others in your proximity. I was afraid if I carelessly touched you, you would hit me accidentally."
His expression darkened. "What are you even blabbering about?"
Ai took his hand and opened his fingers one by one, releasing his tight fist.
"Your palm has gotten all red. And now you know why I was afraid."
"Of course, I wouldn't have hit you!"
"Tell that to the villainous face you were making just now," she countered, unfazed.
He snatched the feather stick. "Where did you even get this from?"
Ai pointed at a pet store. "It's used to play with cats."
Jun's expression darkened further by several shades. "You were treating me like some pet? A cat at that?"
"Cats are feral and become dangerous when provoked. I used the right toy." ?
"What should I do with you? First, you splash water over my head and then you tickle me using a pet toy!"
Ai calmly said, "It works."
Jun felt his lid bursting, this time because of Ai instead of Jin. He wasn't really angry, just…speechless at her methods.
Ai tickled the feather stick on his forehead. "There, there. Calm down. Now, your forehead is getting red."
"..."
"You!"
Jun grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him in a moment of slight agitation. He wanted to punish her somehow but didn't know how.
Ai softly gasped and put her hand on his shoulder for support. Standing hardly a few inches apart, they could hear each other's soft breaths. He saw her eyelashes faintly trembling and the blush on her cheeks which he didn't know if it was makeup or natural.
Ai wanted to look up but sensing his gaze at her, she couldn't. It was his eyes that always unnerved her for some reason as if he was seeing right through her soul.
Jun narrowed his eyes and smirked. He snatched the feather stick back from her and tickled on her waist.
Her lips broke into a faltering smile until it burst into laughter. "S-Stop it…Please stop…"
"Hoo. You are weak to tickling," he sneered. "Well then…" he increased his pace and brought it over her neck. Since her neck was directly exposed, the tickling sensation further heightened.
"Ahahaha…Stop…please stop…Hahahaha…" the corner of her eyes stung with tears from laughing too much.
"Heh. You deserve it. Always trying out weird tricks on me."
Though he had to admit her tricks always took his mind off the evil train of thoughts killing his mind.
A group of elementary school boys pointed at them as they passed them. "They are tickling each other!"
"It looks fun."
"We wanna play too!"
They jumped at Jun all at once. His balance tripped, and his forehead bumped on Ai's. But it wasn't just their foreheads that thumped.
His lips touched hers too, freezing them in shock. Their stunned gazes faced each other. It happened so suddenly that nobody could react.
What just…
The background noises of traffic and cars came crashing down. The only sound they heard was of their own entangled thoughts.
The kiss was nothing more than a skim of their lips that barely made contact. Yet their lips trembled. Soft, light and feathery but which made their hearts jump in their throats. There was shock about the suddenness and conflict about their emotions.
Ai, who was always calm and composed, felt restless. To her, Jun was someone who she wanted to observe. And right at this moment, his eyes that were always filled with distance and coldness, seemed riled up. He was looking back at her as if this wasn't something ever supposed to happen.
But once again…he was thinking hard about something. Like the time he met Jin then at the library and now from across the coffee shop.
But what about her own thoughts?
I…J-Just take this as an inspiration to write a good kissing scene for your story. Don't panic. Don't panic.
Just…
But his lips on hers were too distracting to note any points. She wanted to observe and speculate, but his brown irises that stared at her with his deep gaze weren't bringing her thoughts into alignment.
So he can also make such an expression…
An expression which wasn't evil and villainous but aggrieved and in turmoil.
