Neverland | Jeon Wonwoo

Chapter 18

"Why aren't you sleeping?" I asked Wonwoo as I took a seat beside him on the bench outside of the house. I saw Wonwoo was staring at the moon just now so I decided to accompany him.

"I'm not sleepy."

Both of us are just sitting there in silence staring at the moon.. The last time we both sat together like this, it was full moon. Time flies so fast.. It's crescent moon now.

"Crescent moon, that's what you called it, right?" He asked as he turned his head to me.

"Yeah, you still remember?" I chuckled.

"I remember everything you've said to me." He smiled.

My heart is going crazy for him again.

"Wonwoo.. Do you remember that day when you kissed my cheek and you said that it was for affection..?" I questioned as I raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, why?"

"I am a girl, Wonwoo. And if a boy gives affection to a girl who isn't related to them.. You know it's-"

"I know." He cut me off before I could even finished talking.

"I love you, Youngbyul."

How could he really be confessing that in a very calm way with such straight face? This guy is insane and he's making my heartbeats increases very rapidly. I could feel myself getting twitchy as my cheeks went flushing red.

"The same way you love the lost boys?" I raised an eyebrow again.

He shook his head.

"More than that."

I blinked my eyes. I kind of feel bad for him. I'm gonna leave him soon and he's gonna end up getting heartbroken. Maybe it's my fault. Maybe I'm the one who made him developed feelings for me.

"I'm so sorry, Wonwoo. I can't reciprocate your feelings. I do love you too, but we can't be together. You belong here and I belong out from here, somewhere far from here. Maybe, we even lives in different dimensions or different time. We never know." I lowered my head as I fiddled my fingers.

Wonwoo didn't say anything but instead, he pecked my cheek.

"It's not your fault."

"We can't control our hearts. I can't be like 'No, I'm not gonna love Youngbyul' and my heart will automatically listen to me and obey me. No, it doesn't work like that." Wonwoo's statement right now hits me so hard.

I'm sad..

Like I could cry any second.

"I'm happy to be able to love you and show you affections even just for a while." Right now, his voice sounded so soft yet so low.. It's making my heart beats very quickly.

"Even when you return to your world, I'm still gonna love you." He pecked my cheek again.

"But.. Still loving me even when I'm gone forever.. It's gonna hurt you, Wonwoo." I hold his hand, intertwining our fingers together.

"It wouldn't hurt me. Remember? I can just stare at the moon whenever I miss you." He let out a small yet soft chuckle.

And here, I'm crying.

"You're a crybaby."

He cupped my face and stared straight into my eyes. Staring at him this close, I noticed how beautiful his eyes really are even though he sometimes looks like a bad guy because of his sharp eyes.

There he leaned closer, slowly, his face is getting closer to mine. The next thing I know is that I'm closing my eyes waiting for him. I could feel his breathe, I could hear our hearts that are beating very fast right now.
