Yeonwoo's POV

Throughout the day, I've been avoiding Juyeon and Hyunjae. But what was weirder was, they both seemed out of it too. Juyeon looked like he had a lot on his mind while Hyunjae...wasn't as bright as he usually is. It was our trip's last night and I had called one of them to meet me at the beach. Why you ask?? Because I finally remember who it was...the one I kissed the other night...intoxicated. Of course, all I wanted to do was to apologize to him and ask him about what he said that night.

*Flashback*

"Oh?? LEE JAEHYUN!!!!", I said.

"Oh why?", he answered.

"Come here~ I have something to tell youuu", I said, smiling like a fool since I was drunk.

"What do you want to say?", he said.

"Thank you", I said.

"What?"

"I said thank you. For always comforting me, for staying by my side, and for being there during my darkest times.", I said.

"You...", I said but I was cut off.

"I like you.", he said and I looked at him. We made eye contact. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him closer for a kiss... A very short one and I passed out right after.

*End Flashback*

"Hyunjae Oppa!", I shouted from afar and he looked back. I ran to him and was about to sit down on the sand but he took off his jacket and placed it on the sand for me to sit on.

"Thank You~", I said as he sat down beside me.

"Why'd you call me?", he asked.

"Uhhh...I...I'm sorry.", I said looking down.

"What do you mean?", he asked.

"That night...it was you right? I'm sorry if I bothered you with what I did.", I said.

"Right...I was bothered.", he said while nodding. During our conversation, he didn't even spare a glance at me but one thing was kind of weird with his actions...

"Let's just pretend it didn't happen.", I said.

"Yeonwoo-yah...You really don't remember, do you?", Hyunjae then looked at me and I saw tears in his eyes. Looking at his face, he looked.... drunk.

"It wasn't me Kim Yeonwoo. It wasn't me but you called my name.", he said and I was speechless.

"T-Then, it was Juyeon?", I said to myself.

"Let me ask you one question... That kiss... Was it for me or for him?", he asked.

"Hyunjae... you're drunk. You should get some rest.", I said and stood up but he held my wrist.

"Kim Yeonwoo...Tell me."

"Why do you want to know?!"

"Because you keep getting my hopes up!!!", he shouted.

"W-What do you mean?", I was confused with what his statement meant.

"I like you... Those three words. Do you know how long i've kept myself from saying them? Every time I muster up the courage to tell you, It just gets ruined. You've been alone and bullied when you were a kid and I wanted to be there to defend you. Then you found Chan and kept babbling about how protective he is but HE HURT YOU! I'm not like him, Kim Yeonwoo. I wanted to protect you the first time I saw you. But I keep getting greedy. I don't want to be just your protector, I want to have you. So please think about it... who did you kiss?", he said as a tear fell from his cheek.

"Y-You're drunk. You better go to bed.", I said as I removed my hand from his grip and left. I ran to my room and immediately closed the door behind me. What just happened?...He's drunk but he sounded so sincere. I thought to myself as I still couldn't process everything that he just said a while back. Hyerim came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head.

"What are you doing?", she asked.

"KIM YEONWOO!"

"Huh?", I finally snapped out of my thoughts.

"Where'd you go?", she asked.

"Ah... I went outside for a while. Why?", I said. She looked me up and down and I blinked a few times as I was clueless.

"Nothing...Wash up and get some rest.", she said.

"Okay.", I then entered the bathroom, took a shower, dried my hair after taking a show, and finally lied down at my bed. As I lied down, I couldn't help but think about what he just said but i'm confused too.

So all this time... I kissed Juyeon but it was Hyunjae's name I called but at that time...Who did I think I kissed...I'm confused. I know i've moved on from Juyeon but isn't it too soon for me to be liking another person? Am I really that easy?

I don't know... Do I like him...or do I feel sorry for him?
