Fake Protagonist // Hwang Hyunjin

Chapter Twenty Seven

I paid the man and ran out of the taxi as I dialed Hyunjin's number. The result was just the same, the call immediately went to the voicemail.

Please don't be there. Please don't be crazy and wait for me, Hyunjin. I'm begging you.

I jog my way inside the park, desperately hoping that I won't find his figure anywhere. But deep inside, I do hope that he still wait for me, so I can finally confess my love to him, offically, once again.

I dialed his number once again, but the answer was just the same. I was about to give up when I saw a man in a dark coat, laying on the bench near the pond.

My heart thumps hard in my chest as I slowly approach the person. He has his arm covering his face as I can hear him humming faintly.

Please don't be him.

Not long after, he seems to acknowledge my presence as he moved his arm away, his eyes meeting mine.

My breath hitched the moment I saw him, tears pooling in my eyes.

He waited.

"Y/N. I thought you forgot about our meeting" he cracks a bitter smile as he gets up from the bench.

"Are you okay? Did something happen? Why are you here so late?" he asked me, still with a smile on his lips. But it seems to pain him a lot, just to smile.

"Hyunjin, I'm sorry" I apologised. Silly me, hoping that my small apology can cure the two hours of him waiting for me. He quickly shook his head, putting up a reassuring smile on his lips.

"I'm so glad you came. I thought you hate me now since I kissed Hyera earlier. I'm really sorry, Y/N. I was just trying to be professional, and I thought that if I went with it, it would end quickly . I didn't know that-" he said quickly, as if he wanted to clear up everything he did.

Yet, it didn't reassure me. Instead it made me feel so bad and guilty. I even kissed Felix to make him jealous but he's here apologising to me for doing his job.

"Hyunjin, why are you doing this?" I asked him, holding my tears in. he look at me in confusion as if waiting for me to continue with my question.

"Why did you keep on waiting for me? You should have left after 10 minutes of waiting, like what other people would do" I swear I almost scream at him, frustrated at myself who has left him all alone in this cold weather.

"I promised to meet you today, to listen to your answer. I can't leave thinking that you would come here. Like right now, you're here and I'm so glad that I haven't left yet" he told me with a small smile.

It aches my heart to see him acting strong when I know that he's broken deep inside. I looked away from him, inhaling painfully before looking back at him.

"I'm sorry, Hyunjin. I-" I started as I saw the frown on his face. He stopped me right after.

"No. I won't accept 'No' as an answer. You're here now, so you're mine" he said with a stern look on his face. The words that left his lips unexpectedly gave me butterflies. I formed a smile on my lips.

"What I meant to say was, I'm sorry for all the bad things I did. I've made up my mind and I will choose you. It's a Yes, Hyunjin" I told him with a shy smile as I avert my gaze away.

I heard a little gasp leave his lips before his hand snakes around my waist, pulling me closer towards him. I looked at him in surprise as he gave me a cheeky smile. My heart was thumping in my chest and was scared for him to notice.

He grabbed my hand softly, placing it on his chest. I was flustered at first but once I felt the thumping in his chest, I look at him with a bright smile.

"You just made my heart flutter, Y/N" he smiled warmly. Our heart beats in sync which unexpectedly brings comfort in me.

"Thank you for not giving up on me" I told him after a moment of silence. He smiled cheekily, as if he's waiting for me to say that sentence.

"How can I give up on you?" he told me.

I smiled, hugging him as I hid my face on his chest. He's making me blush with just a simple word. He let out a small chuckle from my reaction, sending a vibration over his chest. He replied to my hug, humming in delight.

"Your hug feels so warm. I can stay here until tomorrow if you're here" he mumbled against my hair. I laughed heartfully, pulling slightly away from the hug, yet my arms are still wrapped around him.

"You're a fool" I joked.

"Your fool" he corrected, sneaking a wink at me. Just like that, a swarm of butterflies filled my stomach.

I was about to release my arms around him, wanting to hide my face when he quickly pull me back into his embrace.

"Where are you going? You can't escape me, Y/N" he told me, looking straight into my eyes. I was speechless, feeling my heartbeat increase from the intense look he's giving me.

In a matter of time, his eyes slowly dropped to my lips, making my breath hitch. It felt as if the time paused where there's only us two in this world when he slowly leaned in towards me.

I closed my eyes just before his plump lips touched mine. Fireworks sparks in my stomach as I felt the familiar lips once again on mine. However this time, it felt so different. Both of us expressed our feelings in the kiss.

The kiss was soft yet it could drive me crazy. We moved our lips in sync, savouring every moment. I feel so overwhelmed by feeling his lips against mine. It felt so unreal.

After a minute that feels like forever, we broke the kiss, gazing into each other's eyes. His eyes were sparkling as a soft smile formed on his lips. He raised his hand to caress my hair softly, so soft as if he's afraid he would break me if he did it any harder.

I smiled, pulling him in for another hug. His embrace will probably be my next obsession. He wrapped his arms around me as well, sighing softly.

"I promise that I will take a good care of you, Y/N" he whispered quietly.

I swear it feels like my heart just jumped out of my chest.
