Time and Fallen Leaves :: jeongcheol

TAFL :: 72

*jeonghan*

eunji and i waited for our classmates to vanished so we could talked already. i asked her where the place she preferred and she suggested that it would be better if dito nalang sa room which i agreed because it will take double time if sa ibang lugar pa. right after our classmates was already out of our room and only the two of us left, i signalled her to went inside first and i saw how her cheeks tainted a pink tint that quick though i didnt do anything.

the defeaning silence ensued us once we're already alone here inside our room. the room we used for our last subject was this floors last room and there are no students nearby so the surroundings was really quite but you could hear some muffled sounds of the students talking but not too near from our location. i stared at her back while waiting for her to do the talking and i was hoping that she'd talked already since i badly wanted to go to quadrangle to see seungcheol.

it took her some moment before she turned her body to face me and the moment our gazes met, i had arched her a brow once already signalling her to talk na dahil aabutin kami nang ilang minuto if she wouldn't start to do her agenda already. she tried to compose herself by heaving a sighed and trying to look away from my gazes but she ended up looking at me too but her cheeks are in red already. nagbu-blush sya even though i wasnt doing anything.

"w-what i told you the reason before was true. . i do really like you that much." she bit her lower lip as she played with her both hands that was holding each other. she swallowed hard. "i really like you so much that i thought kissing you would get you back to reality that you are still a guy. na lalaki ka. . and you dont have to fall to another person with a gender as same as you."

"i want you to realize that there are so many deserving girls out there na babagay sayo and that would love you as you arㅡ"

"then be the girl you are talking about." her mouth left ajar the moment she heard that i suddenly cutted her out. even though she didnt explain it further, but hearing the deeper reason why she did that made me understand it already. "you told me you love me right? so accept me and love me as who i am. . no matter what sexuality i have, no matter how imperfect i was, accept me as i am."

"dont worry, i wont forget that im still a guy. . a guy that you tried to get back to reality, but this is the reality already, eunji. loving or dating a person as same gender as mine wont make me less of a human but still thank you for trying. . and im sorry, i couldnt give back the love you want to give for me."

i smiled at her after ending my statement and my answer over to her reason plus i dont want this thing to get longer because my foot was already itching to go to quadrangle. and also because there was nothing to talk about further, ive known her that much since she had been my classmate over four years now, that she understand what i said. shes that smart. when she just stared at me with the emotion in her eyes, i pursed my lips and tightened my grip on the strap of my bag, wanting to go out of this scene already.

but before i started to went out, i had signalled her already using my head that i wanted to go out but she didnt responded so i told her nalang na i need to go already and when i took my first three step away from her again just like before, she had called me once again and even though i wanted to get out i still looked back at her over my shoulder and arched her a brow.

she swallowed hard. "c-can we still be friends?"

the side of my lips rose up. "of course."
