From that point on it was never awkward between us again. But the waitress...that was a different story. She didn't even come back to take our order,  someone else did. And before we ordered he stated that he would be our new Waiter because Melissa had to go home due to a family emergency.

Which wasn't true..

Because after we had ordered, gotten our food, eaten and paid, we had had to walk past the front of the restaurant.  Where we in fact saw Melissa.  And I.M. being the dumb butt he is decided to make a big deal out of seeing her.

Her face turned bright red and she ducked behind the corner when he called her name. Laughing at her response, I.M grabbed my hand and we strolled out of the restaurant.

I don't think he realized what he was doing, but my heart was pounding.

He didn't let go.

And that made me happy because I didn't know if I wanted him to.

We walked in silence for a while until I ended up pulling my hand away.

ImI couldn't fall for this again so easily.  Who knew what his actual motives were. Who knows if this whole thing was actually planned or not.

I had to convince myself that I need to build my walls up higher and not let him in so easily.  If he actually cared about me, He'd keep trying to knock them down, otherwise I'd know the truth.

So I quickly shoved my hands in my pockets and kept walking along next to him.

I think he noticed what I had done,  and he had already known what he was doing. He was holding my hand on purpose. But, again he's been a good actor this far, so he probably wasn't actually hurt.

Damn it. I didnt care about the fact that we stopped holding hands as much as I cared about the fact that I made it awkward again.

But we kept walking.

We were coming up to the alley next to the starship entertainment building. The one we used to hide..

With a loud sigh I glanced at I.M. and then the alley way, and then kept walking.

But before I took another step someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the alley.

I.M. stood there infront of me pushing me up against the wall.

"Okay first Jooheon, now you? This isn't going to become a habit okay. And just so you know I don't like being-"

He kissed me.

For real.
