Chapter 24: Chapter 24
โDaniel's P.O.V.โ
Nuri almost pulled back her hands, but someone impinged on her from behind, and before leaving my shirt collar, she ended up hugging me, and her lips met mine.
The Sun had already set. And the Millions of lights glowed up in a fraction of a second.
My whole body shivered with her touch, "Is it happening in reality?" I asked myself as her soft lips touched mine. My eyes went wide in shock, and I felt goosebumps all over my body.
It was hardly 20 seconds when Nuri pulled back herself.
I was still in a daze. I didn't know what reality was anymore. The colorful love locks, the glowing lights, people everywhere enjoying themselves, Everything made it more confusing if I was dreaming or not.
"What if I am still on my couch?
What if I would just wake up in a few more seconds, and this beautiful dream would break?" I thought as I was scared.
But clearing all my doubts, in a few seconds, I noticed Nuri's red face while she tucked a strand of loose hair behind her left ear.
I came back to reality.
"This is freaking real! I kissed Nuri. No, she kissed me. Yeah," I confirmed in my mind.
I gulped a large amount of saliva.
"I am coming in 5 minutes. Just remembered something !" I said with my trembling voice.
"Wait here!" I said those last words as I made my way downstairs.
As I stepped downstairs from the photo zone and came to the open square, I stood in a corner and leaned on a railing. My heart was beating very fast.
"Ah!" I rubbed my chest only to suppress the heart from beating so fast.
"Aiissshhh. Why is it beating so fast ?"
And then I remembered the kiss, the feeling.
And I got goosebumps again. I glanced at my hands.
"Omo, why?"
I rubbed both of my hands one by one.
"Why is it so hot all of a sudden? Ah!"
I took a deep breath as I unbuttoned two top buttons of my shirt.
"Daniel! You're going insane !"
"Aiissshhh !"
It was 30 minutes already that I came down from the photo zone, leaving Nuri there. Who knew what she was doing there alone? She was a danger magnet anyway!
"What if she has attracted more danger?"
I sighed, "I should go back."
I turned to go back but then stopped. Again, I remembered the kiss.
I put my fingers on my lips as I recalled the feeling. I smiled like stupid as I did so.
"Gosh! Did she put some magic spell on me?"
It was not my first kiss, but her kiss made me feel different. It was a mistake, accidental, but still, I was behaving like a teen in love.
"Love???
Crap!"

โNuri's P.O.V.โ
As I pulled back, I saw Daniel's wide eyes, which were focused on somewhere else. Somewhere in the distance.
My cheeks were red by that sudden incident. I bowed my head lower. So I didn't have to face Daniel at all.
But Daniel suddenly said, "I am coming in 5 minutes. Just remembered something !"
"Wait here!" Daniel said those words as he made his way towards the open square downstairs.
I kept staring at his leaving figure as I couldn't stop blushing.
Suddenly I heard, "๋ฏธ์ํด์"
"Sorry."
The guy who pushed me came to me and apologised. I gazed at his bowed figure. I could feel he was sorry.
"๊ด์ฐฎ์์"
"It's fine," I said.
I couldn't do anything now. Right? I just gave an awkward smile. He understood he made a huge blunder as he saw Daniel escaping this place with the speed of the flash.
I sighed.
I felt embarrassed standing there alone. The people who just saw us kissing must be thinking that I was clingy. Not everyone saw the collision!
"Ugh! Daniel!" I murmured.
"That kiss made Daniel so cringe that he escaped with that speed?
Why Did he leave like this, making me deal with all these eyes everywhere alone ?" I thought while facing those eyes.
The boy checked at me up and down. Then he said, "Are You a Foreigner ? "
"Yes. I am from India." I smiled.
"He knows English, Woah." I thought.
"์๋ ...I am Ray !" the boy bowed.
The boy in front of me introduced himself as Ray as he fixed his bangs. He was so cute, probably a college student or high school student.
"Annyeong... Jeoneun Nuri imnida" I replied in Korean.
This much Korean I have learnt before coming to South Korea. Ray giggled.
"Are you fluent in Korean ?" Ray asked while smiling.
"Not at all, Only I can introduce myself," I said while scratching my head.
He let out another giggle as he said, "I have also started learning English."
"No way! You're already so good at it."
His English was pretty good except for his Korean accent. But it sounded really cute.
Ray was tall, had big eyes, and a dimple appeared on his right cheek when he smiled. He stared down at me with his dimpled smile.
"I came here with my friends! Wanna join ?" Ray asked, pointing at some boys and girls who were chatting and enjoying themselves in a corner.
I glanced back at the stairs, from where Daniel had left. It was 30 minutes already. But I could never see any sign of Daniel's return.
For 1 second, I thought, "Let's just join."
But then again, I thought, "No, I came here with Daniel. I can't betray him."
I was dwelling on my mind about should I go or not when I heard, "She is My girlfriend. You have to ask me first!"
I glanced back, hearing that voice, and saw Daniel was standing there while keeping his hands on his light blue faded jeans. His expression was cold. Really cold.
Daniel made his way quickly to us, and he stood beside me, giving a death glare to Ray. Ray seemed already shaken by Daniel's actions and appearance.
It was like Ray could see a dark aura around Daniel. Ray gulped. I couldn't argue with that. Daniel looked pretty intimidating. I had never seen him like this.
