MONGDOL: Confess Already

24- On Repeat

"Jeon So Min, I like you too." Ji Hyo said to her with a smile drawn on her lips.

So Min was dumbfounded with what she just heard from Ji Hyo. She was frozen on her feet, struggling to react to what she said.

"Wha–wha—" she couldn't hold back her tears, which made Ji Hyo panic.

"Yah, So Min–a, are you crying? Why?" She pulled her into her arms and hugged her. Since So Min is a few centimeters taller, she comfortably snuggled her head in between her neck. Ji Hyo felt her movements but she decided to caress her back instead to comfort her.

"Unnie, jinjjayo? Are you serious?" So Min pulled away. Ji Hyo saw tears on her cheeks so she wiped it for her.

"Do you think I'm joking? I'm not joking. This is a serious matter, so I'm serious."

"Jinjjayo? Keurom, if you're serious will you ki—" Ji Hyo didn't waste any moment and pulled So Min's neck and kissed her softly. So Min was still in shock but she managed to respond to her kiss.

"Ehem!" Somebody cleared his throat, which both of them heard, making them realize that they're causing a "scene" in public. They turned around and saw Se Chan crossing his arms and frowning at them.

"You forgot about me. I'm still here, you know?"

"Se Chan–a, mianhae." Ji Hyo said scratching her nape as she felt shy as she was able to picture Se Chan's reaction seeing her being aggressive towards his friend.

"Se Chan–a, you're still there. I'm sorry for forgetting about you." So Min showed him a peace sign.

"Aish! You two, jinjja! If I didn't stop you you could've been caught!" He shook his head.

"Mianhae jinjja."

"I thought I was watching a drama! Aiii jeongmal!"

"Se Chan–a, what do you like?" Ji Hyo tried to make an appeal.

"Ai noona! Iltan, let's go somewhere private! Aish! Jeongmal! My eyes!" Se Chan jokingly covered his eyes, while So Min finds his action ridiculous.

"Yah! Yang Se Chan! What's up with your reaction? It's as if you didn't experience kissing, and didn't see two people kissing!"

"I've seen a lot, but I haven't seen two women—joiseonghabnida." He sealed his mouth.

"Gwaenchanha, Se Chan–a."

"Mianhaeyo, noona."

"Yah! Yang Se Chan!" So Min went to him.

"You're ruining the moment! I haven't heard unnie's response." So Min whispered her complaint.

"Eh? Didn't you just kiss a while ago?" They started bickering with each other.

"Aish! I still haven't heard her answer yet!" She yelled, getting the attention of Ji Hyo.

"Don't be a killjoy. You know how happy it is to hear the person you like likes you too." She further whispered.

"I don't know. Why not let me experience it?" Se Chan's half-meant joke made So Min chuckle at him, and went back to Ji Hyo.

"Unnie, can I hear you say it?" She smiled awkwardly.

"Say what?"

"That you— you know?"

"What?"

"That you like me." So Min mumbled as shyness took over her after realizing what she was asking from Ji Hyo.

"Again?"

"Did you say it already?" So Min tried to act as if she hadn't heard about it.

"Uh… yeah? Didn't you hear me?" Ji Hyo's forehead creased.
