Chapter 7... First priority

"Oh my gosh... I'm speechless right now"

"Yul?..."

"Get back to whatever you were doing... but seriously...WOW!" Yeol was dancing and he was so good at it that I just couldn't get my eyes off him. "who wouldn't have a crush on you if you're this cool"

"You're sounding like you have a crush" Yeol laughed turning off the music. I do you moron.

"You shouldn't stop...at least one of us should be happy" I blurted slumping onto a couch there.

"Did something happen?"

There's no other person I could talk to but Hanyeol. "well, I got served breakfast on a cold platter. My first relationship ended in less than a week"

"Wanna dance to clear your mind?" He gave me his hand and I accepted it. Turns out dancing helped me clear up my mind. Mind you I am good at dancing.

...

"Are you gonna stay in the shower forever, Princess Hannie?" I was having a blast teasing Yeol while he was in the bathroom. Well that lasted until he came out.

"Seriously? You have a lot of performances tomorrow and you should be sleeping right now" I should but I'm not sleepy.

"I want to talk with you before I sleep"

"Why are you acting all baby cute?" Yeol asked lying on the bed.

"I'm your little brother so I should"

"Stop saying we're brothers" Yeol said looking at me with a poker face.

"Alright... let's play Truth or dare" I couldn't think of anything else.

"Wouldn't it be boring since we're just two. Let's just ask each other questions"

"Okay... you go first"

"What was your first impression of me?" If he's asking this, he must be a narcissist.

"Hmm... I thought you were a nice person with a shitty temper and also I believed you weren't smart"

"Many people say I don't look like my grades.... you ask"

"Same question" I just felt like knowing. I'm not a narcissist.

"Honestly, I disliked the first impression I had of you. I thought you were too timid and I'd never get to flow with you" This is too honest but whatever, it's Yeol.

"Oh wow. Next question... what's your favorite color" I totally have a different thing in mind but I'm starting on a friendly pace.

"It's black... How about you?"

"Blue and Yellow...uhm have you ever been in a relationship?"

Yeol sighed before answering me. Seems like he's really a player. "I've never been in one"

"Why? Or do you play girls?" This is shocking.

"Don't look so shocked... I never actually thought of dating anyone or maybe I just never liked anyone to the dating extent"

Why does Yeol keep making my heart go boom?

"Okay... ask me"

"Why did you and Yeonwoo break up?"

"He'd rather watch people get hurt than say he's not straight" I wasn't wrong and I think it's for the best.

"Oh.... you okay?" Yeol asked looking at me while I nodded and smiled. "... alright"

"Don't get offended by my next question. Why don't you want me to call you hyung?" I am so curious.

"No reason..." It's so obvious that he was hiding something but I'll leave it for later. " Ok I'll ask...why do you look at me weirdly when I smile?"

How many times did I scream that I like you? Oh! Wait, I said that in my mind. "Your smile is weird so don't smile for me anymore"

"Okay?" Yeol replied giving me a skeptical look. "Two more questions each and we should go to sleep"

"Okey dokey...uhm, y'know I'm gay, right?"

"Yeah and I don't care" He smiled ruffling my hair.

"What would happen if I fell for you?"

Yeol burst out laughing so much that he fell out of the bed pulling me with him. "okay I'm sorry... firstly, I'm confident that you won't fall in love with me because I'm unlikable and the only chance of me making you fall is this... I mean how I pulled you out of bed by mistake"

"You shouldn't believe that" Is he crazy? I'm literally dying because I'm lying on his chest but he believes he's unlikable. Dumbass.

"Okay... let me show you that I'm never a person's first priority" What does he mean? "My question is outside... come with me"

Yeol immediately pulled me out to the pool, took off his shirt and whispered "I can't swim by the way" What does he mean?

I stood there processing when he said and then I felt water splash on my face. Did he just attempt suicide? "Hyung? Hanyeol? Hanyeol"

I didn't think twice before I jumped into the pool and brought out his unconscious body. I was shivering out of fear but I tried to keep calm. I tried CPR but he wasn't waking up.

Billions of thoughts rushed through my head but I managed to shut them out and do a mouth to mouth resuscitation. With tears in my eyes, I recited the process of a mouth to mouth in my head. "Okay...one second.... breathe for one second.."

"Yeol don't do this to me" I wailed and tried the process again but there was no response. "Yeol please come back" I did it the third time and he became conscious. "You idiot...why would you do this to prove a stupid point... do you have any idea of how worried I was? Arrghh! I hate you"

"I'm sorry..."Yeol just said smiling and caressing my hair "it's pretty cold out...Yul, can you help me go in?"

We walked to our room and changed into our extra pajamas "Let's go to sleep..." Yeol tried to pull me to the bed but I refused to move.

"I've got an answer for you.... you're my first priority so don't act like you ain't important. I can also have feelings for you...so be careful if you don't want me to" What kind of threat slash care is that? Things Seoyul won't do when angry.

"I want to accept what you said but are you threatening me to not make you, like me?"

"Yes I am" I can't scream that I actually like Yeol or I might be getting a rejection to top my breakup.

"Then come here..." He threw me on the bed and pinned me between his legs. This is it, I'm gone. "... what do I do that might make you like me?"

"Being different to me, not saying 'no' to me; that's few among others." I said holding a poker face and looking directly at Yeol who just smiled. That darn smile is really killin' me good. I'm dead.

"Hmm...Since you threatened me, I'll challenge you. I'll keep doing those things and more, you have to try hard not to fall for me" He got off me and laid on the bed.

So I just got a challenge that I already lost. It's like knowing you failed the test by looking at the questions but still doing it anyway.

"Yul... you asleep?"

"Nah.... thinking about tomorrow"

"I'm sure your performance will go well"

"Not that, Lee Hanyeol.... tomorrow is my dad's birthday and it's not a nice memory for me" I said heaving a huge sigh. I told Yeol half of the truth.

"Oh... don't be scared, you got me to protect you"

"Thanks but... Are you strong enough to protect me? I'm quite high maintenance"

"Well I got the money, courage and strength to protect my first priority" Damnit! Every sentence out of him is flirting to me.

"Let's wait and see, I'll be the judge of that... goodnight"

"Goodnight"
