"I didn't expect you to be with Jaehyun." Jungwoo walks you to your car.
"Yeah, me neither." You look down at you phone for the time. 9:43 pm.
"It's late. You should go home and sleep well."
"Yeah. I didn't think you guys would be out so long."
"Yeah, same." He puts his hands in his pockets.
You both stand there for a moment. "Do you like Jaehyun?"
You are taken back. "What?" You awkwardly laugh. "No. Why would you think that? This is the first time I've talked to him in a minute."
"I know, but I know you used to like him, and maybe being with him brought the feeling back."
"No, no feelings." He nods.
You smile and get into your car. You begin to drive away, watching Jungwoo walked back to the house.
You're lost in your thoughts. You don't like Jaehyun. Why? Why would you?
You have liked Jaehyun before. You started liking him after you met 127. When Taeil introduced you to 127, you became close with the whole group. Jaehyun being one of them. You formed a crush and you couldn't ignore nor get rid of the feeling. You tried to distance yourself, but you still couldn't get rid of the feeling. You were gonna confess but then you kept getting scared and chickened out. Then Jaehyun was distancing himself. Then you got butthurt. But the feeling never went away but you had to force yourself to let go.
You don't like home any more. You can't. Not again.
You get home, and it's late and you wanna sleep. You wash your face put your pjs on and tuck yourself in after texting Taeil goodnight.
You roll over to your side. I don't like Jaehyun. You tell yourself on repeat. Am I telling myself this cause I like him? You slap yourself. Stop! You can't like Jaehyun.
You sit up. "Shit." You like Jaehyun.
You groan and get up. You get a glass of water. You knew all day. The second you bumped into him, you knew. You knew! But your told your heart to deny it.
The second he told you to not do dishes, your feeling came back.
You can't control your heart, you tell yourself.
But this morning, and then seeing him at the store. Then being with him.
Your blushing, your fluttering heart. It all makes sense.
You knew this.
But why couldn't you tell
