As I wash my face in the running water near the outdoor cubicles. I was taken aback when someone talked behind me "be careful not to wet your shirt". I could not turn around to see who was it because of the soap in my face but his voice is familliar enough for me to recognise that it's Won.
Then I felt that he picked the hair blocking my face for it not to get wet and put it in a low pony tail using his hands. "Are you alright?" He asked using his deep voice. He took the scrunchy in my wrist and tied my hair. "Turn around" his voice is stern. I could tell by this tone of him that he's trying to contain his anger inside.
But I did not obliged. I dont want to face him cause I feel like sobbing. I heard him sighed and he turned me around himself and looked at me deep dead in the eyes. I was so occupied by his stare that I did not felt that he was wiping my face using his handkerchief.
"Oh dear Lord...tiyanna why are you like this" he said with concern because as soon as I felt his hand cupped my cheeks, tears started to beam in my eyes. I bob my head down so that he won't see me cry and the next thing I knew was he's already hugging me.
"I tried to do my best but it was not enough" I said in my weak voice trying not to sob loudly in his chest.
"I know. I know. You are the winner for me bub." He said soothingly as he pat my back.
"I brought them down bub. I could have done better for them. All they did is to support me. I don't even know how to face them after this." Now I cannot contain my emotions anymore. As I sob louder, Won's hug tightens too.
"Sssssshhhh...believe me, nobody's blaming you." And kissed me on the top of my head. "Don't torture yourself with those thoughts bub. We know how hard you prepared for the contest. We pushed you to do it because we believe in you, alright?" He said more soothing words to make me feel better until my sobs get lighter. He pulls me out of the hug and lift my face with his hands "aigooo. Such a cry baby." he chuckled.
I glared at him and noticed that his shirt is soaking wet from my tears. "Sorry. I'll dry clean this for you." I said, not looking at him and trying to wipe his shirt using my hands. I was taken aback when I felt his hard chest in my palm. I was about to pull my hand when he hold it and place it back in his chest. Right where the heart is located.
"Do you know how stunning you are awhile ago?" I look at him and the admiration in his eyes is visible "if only you've seen how people gasped as you walked on that stage" this man...really...he has always been like this since we were kids but lately his words and actions are affecting me differently.
He was always there to protect me and wipe my tears when I cry. If there is someone who will shield a bullet for me, I think it would be him.
"You are the most beautiful muse to me tiyanna."
He said as he sigh. I looked up to meet his eyes and I started to feel something in my stomach, butterflies. "I hope you always remember that for me it's always been like that" he flashed his gorgeous smile at me making my inner organs tremble. I nod at him and he pulled me by the arm.
"Let's go home now."
We were walking hand-in-hand when the rain started to pour. He held me at my shoulders and started to run to where his car is parked. As I was under his cover, I think my heart just skipped a beat because his hand held me by the waist.
What's wrong with me? How can my hormones betray me like this? Thanks to the rain for hiding my blushing face. I can't explain how I feel right now. I'm shivering but I feel hot and all tensed up.
Won's effect to me starts to confuse me. My heart is not on a steady rate, all my blood is going to my face, my mind keeps on questioning what's happening to me but my body wants more of his touch. I think my hormones are taking over me right now. It needs more of his touch like it's the only thing that it needs to survive.
Am I falling for you Hiro Won Suares? Because right now I'm more than sure that I need more than just your touch.
