[Fic] Please Do

Leeteuk watched closely at the girl lying beside him as she stirred and slowly opened her eyes. Peeping at him with a smile, she rubbed her eyes with her knuckles, giggling when he made a face.

“Good morning”, he gave her a dimpled smile, stealing a peck on her forehead as she whispered a faintmmmning before before burying her face on his chest. He pulled her closer to his embrace, wrapping his arms around her petite body. “Had a goodnight sleep?” he whispered on her neck as she tried not to shiver at his hot breath but failed miserably.

Leeteuk felt her discomfort and pulled away a little, sitting quietly on the side of the bed. She looked upward and slipped on the wall beside him, confused by his sudden action.

“Oppa, is there something wrong?”

He managed to give a small smile “Nothing”

It was the first time they slept together since they’ve been a couple. And although that’s most positively all they did – sleep, nothing more, nothing less – he can’t bear to feel a little guilty having this girl lie to her parents about doing a school project at her friend’s house.

He sighed, staring at her angelic figure, a smile shown on her face as she held his gaze.

“Oppa?”

“Hmm?”

“Why are you looking at me like that?” she tilted her head, blinking a few times.

“Waeyo? Is it wrong to look at my girlfriend now?” he said, grinning playfully.

A wide smile played on her lips “I’ll look at you as well then” she looked at him for a while before bursting into a giggle, crescent forming in her eyes. He had never seen anything more beautiful. “Aahh, I really suck at staring sessions”, she mused loudly which caused a hearty laugh from him.

“Haelin-ah”, he said after a while, picking up her hand that was then resting on her side. She shifter her face sidewise  to have a clearer view of him. He wasn’t frowning, but he wasn’t smiling either and it took a whole lot of courage for her to blurt out a waeyo? seeing this could not lead to anything good.

“I think.. we should let your parents know we’re still in this relationship” he said, eyes boring to hers.

She began to shake her head, smiling sadly, “Ani, oppa.. I know they would only oppose it again”

 “..Did you know how much they think our relationship’s worth for our family’s honor?” she almost choke the words, and was the only one to laugh at her humorless joke. Leeteuk looked at her as she smiled, a hint of sadness in her eyes “And besides, I’ll be 18 soon. I’ll be finally of legal age!” she tried to sound cheerful. “Just a little bit longer, deh oppa?”

He smiled at her, burying the guilt, the pain and everything in between in his heart as he hugged her closely, breathing the scent of her as it would be the last. “Mianhe.. haelin-ah, oppa couldn’t do anything but wait for you”, he whispered, hugging her tighter, longing to take all the hurt she felt. Every pain she’ve gone through when people found out about her relationship with some guy 12 years older than her. Remembering how she went to him, eyes swollen from crying but smiling her brightest smile. He went to her house, explaining, arguing, trying his best to prove his good intention. But apparently, their relationship in others eyes was just plain wrong. When Leeteuk was sure it was one of the few right things he did in his entire life.

“Mianhe, haelin-ah”

He always thought he stole her teenage years. For they can only date in his old apartment, talk secretly on the phone, act an ajussi-schoolgirl façade when others are around. Wondering how it would be if destiny had allowed to delay his birth a little later – a little later for it to be right. To do things like going to amusement parks, hold hands in public, shouting to the world how lucky he is to have her. He knew better than to hold onto these empty wishes, but still.. It would have been much easier.

“Mianhe”

“Pabo Teuk. What are you saying sorry for?” she began hitting his back lightly. “Did you know how empty my life would have become if I’ve never met you? My life was trash, ready to be thrown completely, but you’ve given me happiness. You’ve changed my perspective in life. You’ve changed me” she smiled playfully though tears are brimming in her eyes. “And now you’re sorry for all that? You are an idiot” as soon as that was said, tears started falling down. Leeteuk cupped her face, wiping the flowing tears with the thumb of his hand. “Don’t cry Haelin-ah, I never did regret anything” he smiled genuinely, resting his forehead in hers. “I never will.”

Haelin embraced him as she smiled on his shoulder, sighing at the overwhelming bitter-sweet atmosphere. “Saranghaeyo oppa.”

“Saranghamnida. Remember the promise to not let anything come between us?” She nodded weakly. “I’d gladly fulfill that” he said before taking her in for a kiss.

The kiss pretty much explained his genuine feelings, saying the emotions that can’t be put into words. He still wondered how such a perfect love can be wrong, but shrugged the thought, loving the feeling of her lips in his. Leeteuk tried his best to pull away before he begins to lose control. After all, she’s still a kid.

She pouted in disappointment while he grinned cheekily, kissing the pout on her lips and the tip of her nose. “Get up”, he said softly, pulling her hand as he stood up in front of her. “Cook me breakfast”

She wrinkled her nose in disgust “No fair”, she pouted once again. “You just have to ruin the fluffy moments, right?”

He smirked triumphantly amidst her scowl “Nuh-uh” he said as his index finger swayed from left to right “there’ll be no more torrid kisses for minors”

He was attacked by a pillow straight on his face as he ran for his life. “I’ll grow up soon, you’ll be sorry for treating me like this!” she puffed her cheeks running after him. Hating her legs for being so short compared to his long ones.

He stuck out his tongue friskily but in his mind are the words Please do.

For this love to be right in others eyes, he doesn’t know what to do. But there’s one thing he’s sure of, he can’t and will never give this up.
