rumours # hyunin

27,--

"At one point he confessed to me and I thought things were going well but I-"

He fidgeted with his hands which were now on his lap after we sat on his bed.

"But I always liked you, Jeongin. Even if you never felt the same, I never really moved on."

So they were right.

Jisung didn't lie.

I got anxious.

Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe trusting Felix was wrong. What if he was actually the one behind the page?

"Can you please say something?"

But this was Felix.

My best friend.

And right now he looked so heartbroken because of me. So fragile, as if the lightest touch would instantly break him.

"To be honest, I was told that you had romantic feelings for me."

His eyes turned big, a light shade of pink dusting his cheeks, making his freckles appear more.

"Was it Jisung?"

I nodded. There was no point in denying anyway. And who am I to protect my ex boyfriend who left me when things got rough?

"Listen, I don't want things to become awkward. This isn't even about me. It's more about you."

"Lixie, I would never let things become awkward. You're my best friend after all."

"Thank you. Now, to the real matter at hand. The one running the page is Minho."

"But Felix, why would he do that? And what does that have to do with Chan?"

"It's not only the two of them. When they wanted you to meet Chunghee, that was all a set-up."

My heartbeat quickened. He lied. He had to lie. There was no way.

"All of it?"

Felix noticed my voice breaking, now hugging me.

"This is why I didn't want you to meet Hyunjin behind my back. He only played with you, Jeongin."

I pushed him away from me, tears now running down my face.

"You're lying. You're fucking lying. There is no way. He likes me and I like him. Felix, please tell me you're lying. I am begging."

"I am so sorry."
