I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND (JAEJOONG FANFIC) #WATTYS2015

CHAPTER 23

"So what happened?' Yoora asked Lena.

They were already sitting in the back of Daichi's car.

Lena slowly looked at her friend. She didn't know how to start what she was supposed to say.

"Yoora . . . Jaejoong already knows that I love him," Lena uttered softly.

"What? How?" Yoora asked with her eyes wide with shock.

"I told him . . . It just happened," Lena answered.

"So what did he say? Did he say that he likes you too? Is that the reason why the two of you are acting weird around each other?" Yoora asked continuously.

Lena shook her head and tried to smile. "No, he didn't say that he likes me too. In fact, he's quite confused on what he is really feeling for me. I guess he really just likes me as a friend and nothing more," she said sadly.

"That's absurd! How could he possibly not like you in return? Is he gay or what? Even before . . .I can clearly see that he likes you too. So why is he trying to deny it?" Yoora said with a raised voice.

"Yoora, please calm down. It's all right. We can't make him love me back in return. I have already learned how to accept the fact that he will never be mine. Maybe I am really destined to be Daichi's wife. There's nothing more we can do. Let's just leave Jaejoong alone. I have already caused too much trouble for him. You don't need to confront him or whatsoever. So please don't try to ask him about what happened between us. Let's just leave everything behind," Lena said with sadness in her voice.

Yoora glanced at her friend. "What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me that you're finally giving up on him?"

Lena smiled at Yoora. "I don't have any choice. He doesn't like me. So I guess I have to accept Daichi now. There's no sense in trying to fight with my parents anymore. I don't have any reason to hold on anymore."

"Lena, you've been in love with Jaejoong for years now. Why are you suddenly trying to forget everything? I can't believe that you would actually give up so easily," Yoora said seriously.

"I'm tired, Yoora. I'm already very, very tired. I don't want to hold on to false hope anymore. Jaejoong will never love me back . . . and that is that. We can never be more than friends," Lena said weakly.

"That's nonsense! I have been your friend for years now. And I already know both of you so well like the back of my hand. And I can tell even when we were still young that both of you like each other more than just friends. The two of you are just in denial," Yoora said as she stared seriously at Lena. She was very upset. The moment she came to Japan she was already expecting that Lena and Jaejoong had already straightened out their feeling for one another. She never expected that her best friends had grown much farther apart.

"Yoora . . ." Lena uttered.

"Lena, are you really giving up? Don't you love him anymore? Are you in love with Daichi now? I'm so sad for you Lena. I don't want to see you end up living your whole life in sadness. I know Jaejoong is the only man who you can love. And I think if you do end up marrying Daichi, you'll just be suffering . . . not only you but Daichi and Jaejoong as well," Yoora said as she touched Lena's hand.

"Yoora, he doesn't love me. What more do you expect me to do? I already confessed to him. Frankly, just thinking about it . . . makes me feel so small. I feel so degraded just thinking that I am a girl and yet I was the first one to confess my love. It is so unacceptable," Lena said sadly.

Yoora smiled. "Good thing I am here now. Don't worry. I will help you. I'm going to make that dumb Jaejoong figure out everything and I'm going to make sure that he's going to confess to you."
