MY KNIGHT

3. CONFESSION

"Hey JiAh! How are you?" Taehyung greeted with the most polite tone she could ever hear in her life.

She could stand there and watch him the whole day. He literally had the image of a Greek God. Like he just need a pair of wings and a halo and the world would be ready to fell on knees in front of him.

JiAh froze like a statue, not knowing what she should do to get out of the mess Chi Sun had put her into. But he was standing infront of her. She could feel her heart beating fast and was sure enough that her pale skin would have turned red by now.

"JiAh! You're okay? JiAh? "

"Oh! Uhm.... Sorry! I'm good. How are you Taehyung? " Taking his name infront of him was like a tachycardia for her. She could feel blood flowing in her veins making her body feel hot.

"I'm good, " And that angelic smile again. "You wanted to say something?"

"Yeah.... I just.... I wanted to tell you.... That.... I think I.... " She stammered as if her tape recorder has been stuck making Chi Sun really impatient and frustrated.

"Come on JiAh say it. You can do it. Tell him that you like him. " Chi Sun whispered under her breath.

JiAh finally gathered all the courage she had and tried to tell what's in her heart, "Taehyung-ah! I like.... "

"You like....?" Now this suspense was making him impatient. Is she going to say what he thought she is going to say.

"I like you.... TO LEND ME YOUR NOTES OF THE PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENT. "
She literally shouted for everyone to hear and everyone started staring at her.

"Please? " At last she could only manage to say this with all the awkwardness she had created.

This made Chi Sun smack her head with her hand by realizing how dumb her friend was.

"Oh! Uhm okay! I'll give it to you tomorrow. " Taehyung was a little taken aback by this reaction of JiAh.

"Thank you Tae. " She spoke in a toneless voice.

JiAh's face dropped as she was disappointed in herself. She just looked down at her feet and turned to get where everyone else were without looking back at him.

She could see the 'you hopeless depressed bitch' look at Chi Sun's face and tried to avoid eye contact with her.

Maybe I really am going to be alone for the rest of my fucking life. I just want to disappear. I wish an earthquake strike the earth and destroy everything until only cockroaches remain. Hmmm.... What a drag!

"JiAh." Everytime this deep voice said her name, it leaves her body in goosebumps.

She turned around to face Taehyung without any clue why he took her name.

Is he going to refuse giving notes to me? Maybe he regrets helping a weirdo like me. I shouldn't have blurted nonsense infront of him. My chances with him were already zero. Now they have reached a negative coordinate I suppose.

"Do you like me?" He asked with an irresistible gaze, as if he was confident that the answer was a Yes.

For a moment everyone froze and Taehyung and JiAh were the center of attraction. Everyone became desperate for the answer. This situation was no less than a Kdrama.

JiAh was dumbfounded clearly unable to understand what she should do in this situation.

Did he really said that? What am I suppose to do? Am I that predictable?
JiAh.... You are done for good.

I can't understand his gaze. Is he angry?
Is he gonna scold me or maybe curse me or worse, he'll ask me to fuck off and never show my face again to him.
