MONGDOL: Confess Already

18- Are you brave too?

I'm sorry in advance!


I love y'all's!

 








So Min was breathing heavily as she gazed at her with all sincerity and admiration. However, Ji Hyo, whose eyes are wide-open, couldn't believe what she just heard from So Min. She never thought that So Min feels this way towards her.

"Wait— Hold on… So Min–a, you said what?" Her brows furrowed.

"Unnie, I said I like you." So Min chuckled, but deep inside she wanted to pee in her shorts because of nervousness.

"Can you clarify that? What kind of 'like' do you mean… I'm confused."

"I like you… not as my unnie, but as…" She inhaled deeply. "... as someone whom I want to date."

Ji Hyo went silent as she was absorbing and comprehending the revelation So Min just said. So Min found the deafening silence unbearable and continued what she was saying.

"To be honest, unnie, you are the person whom I want to spend time with after work or if I don't have any work. I want to watch movies with you, exchange sweet messages with you. I want to be a part of your day, where I'll message you 'good morning' as you start your day, and send you 'good night' as you end your day. Or who knows I could also come over and bring or cook you food." She wrinkled her nose and gave a satisfied smile as she imagines.

"So Min–a…"

"Ne, unnie?"

"Why me? When? How? I don't understand." Ji Hyo shook her head as she was very confused on what response she should tell her.

"Why you? I also don't know, unnie. I mean, I have always liked guys. I just broke up with my ex, you know that. But, I don't know when. I just realized that I like you. And it's getting deeper as days pass by. That's why, I can only say that the reason why I like you is because that's what my heart feels for you." She gave it her all in explaining her feelings for her. However, she wasn't expecting Ji Hyo to coldly stare at her.

"Hoksi, isn't it because of how I treat you, So Min–a? Isn't that because you misunderstood my actions towards you? You assumed and put meaning to my actions?"

So Min bit her lower lip, harder, to stop her tears from pouring. She was so confident a while ago, not until Ji Hyo brought up this question, which blew half of her confidence away.

"Unnie, I also thought about that. Maybe the reason why I fell for you is because you are kind to me. It's actually pathetic of me, right? To think that you treat me the same way you treat other people around you…" She blinked numerous times as tears are forcing its way out of her eyes.

"But please believe me when I say that I already warned and did everything to hold back myself, but I failed. The more I warn myself, the more I fall for you." She gasped for air.

"Mianhaeyo, So Min–a. I… I don't know what to say." So Min felt a pang on her chest. 

She admits that she was expecting Ji Hyo to react positively, but her pessimist self already told her otherwise.

"Gwaenchanhayo unnie. I know that it's hard to accept and believe what I said. Geokchonghajimaseyo, unnie. I already knew that this would happen. I prepared for this." She chuckled while her face was drowned with tears. She wiped her face using the back of her hand.

Feeling sorry, Ji Hyo tried to wipe away the tears rolling on her cheeks, but So Min avoided her.

"So Min–a, jinjja mianhaeyo. It's not my intention to hurt you. But I think—"

"Please unnie. Please don't say it." She squeezed her eyes close, begging for her to not say those words. "Unnie, I understand. I have already accepted it. I don't want to force you if you don't want me to pursue you, unnie."
