CHAPTER 5 | Confessions

After my conversation with Hyunjin. I headed to my own room to do my morning routines, and change into some swimming clothes. I look into the mirror on my way out and my eyes instantly focus on the two necklaces. He bought these for us the night after the amusement park trip. He gave mine while we were cuddled up in bed. I can't believe how red I turned that time. I was so flustered about his gesture. I remembered how he laughed at me and leaning in to give me a kiss on the cheek. We both have been wearing them ever since. The only time he stopped was the night in Adelaide. I come back to my senses and shook my head lightly. I then walked out of my room. As I was walking past them, I ran into Han, who was also about to leave.

"Chan" He greets with a smile, I greet him back with one as well. 

"Did you have sexy time with Hyunjin last night?" He asks with a grin, I stopped walking and gave him a weird look. 

"Oh, you might be wondering why I asked that huh? I saw the two of you walk into your room last night. You guys were even holding hands." He explains I didn't even notice anyone looking at us last night. 

"No, I and Hyunjin wouldn't do such a thing," I explain and began to walk again. He smirks, I guess he doesn't believe me.

"Hyunjin came to the table looking disoriented, he wasn't talking at all and he didn't even greet anyone of us. Then you come out with your shirt off." He response. Hyunjin must have been in shock upon Lee Know walking in on us. Though we weren't doing anything wrong.

"I swear nothing happened to us, I respect Hyunjin and I wouldn't do anything with him just for the sake of it." My words seem to come through to him.

"You know, there is nothing wrong if you would want to have fun and just live life. If you think you'd be happy with Hyunjin then by all means go be with him. No one is holding you back." He responded sitting on one of the chairs at the alfresco.

"I still love Felix and I never thought of being in a relationship with Hyunjin. It just doesn't feel right." I reply sitting beside him. 

"I know right." A voice suddenly speaks out of nowhere. We both turn our heads to see Hyunjin behind us. 

"How long have you been there?" I asked. I hope I didn't offend him with what I said.

"Not too long." He smiles then walks over to the pool where the others are playing.

"That's gonna hurt bad," Han says then takes a sip of his cola.

"Poor Hyunjin would never be an option." He adds then takes out his phone to fiddle with it. I remember Hyunjin attempting to get in several relationships back then. But he just ends up in the friend zone, as so they call it. I fixated on the kids playing at the pool. They were splashing water at each other. As well as throwing around a beach ball.

"I see the way he looks at you," Han says glancing at the kids by the pool. I looked at him and he looks back at me. 

"It's different you know, you could feel how he values your hugs and attention now that Felix isn't here." He adds. I have never noticed those things, or maybe I'm just not observant enough.

"Hyunjin loves Felix as his best friend, but I know deep inside he envies him. Think wisely of the actions and words you choose to use with him. You might end up breaking his heart without even knowing." Han explains and puts his sunglasses on then lays back on the chair. I wasn't able to respond since I honestly don't know what to say. The possibility of Han's accusations could be true but the chances of it being false are also up there. 

"Won't you guys swim?" Lee Know asks taking the chair beside me. 

"I will, in a while," Han responds and he proceeds to fiddle with his phone, Lee Know then looks at me.
