Your Lies | Choi San

Chapter 24

Feeling a pestering amount of restlessness he tossed and turned in his bed the whole night. It wasn't until the sun was brightly shining outside his window that he realized he hadn't had an ounce of sleep. With a loud groan he threw the covers over his eyes, but it was of no use. He pushed the blanket away and dragged himself off the bed.

And it had been the same with Leo, except with concerns over Yunho rather than San. With her phone open to the last conversation they've had, she regretted ever mentioning what might have been just an empty conversation between her and San.

Yunho-

She deleted it without sending. With a sigh she dropped her phone next to her and rubbed her eyes. Maybe waiting just a bit more is for the best.

I was startled to hear the sound of knocking on the front door. My eyes shot open in panic before I looked to the window on my right. I immediately got off the bed and walked out my room.

"Leo, can I come in?" His voice was muffled behind the door

I could hear the regretful tone in his voice as he spoke those words. It didn't take a genius to figure out who was in the wrong after all. I remained in place, not to open the door, but just out of curiosity of what he planned to say. It didn't take long for my disappointment to get worse when he kept quiet the next few minutes. But I stayed nonetheless, still holding onto some hope.

"I'm coming in."

My eyes widened in shock. I looked to my room contemplating whether to run or not, but he didn't give me the chance to anyway. I quickly wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes and stood there.

The door slowly opened. He peeked his head in, before stepping in completely when his eyes landed on me. His shoulders dropped when his gaze fell on me. He sighed as he made his way towards me. He held his arms up to wrap me in a hug but I pushed them away.

"What do you want?" I sulked

He immediately accepted my response with a nod.

"I was wrong about what I did." He lifted his gaze to meet mine

"You were."

"And I'm sorry."

He tried to reach for my hand again but I pulled it away, giving my answer to his apology.

"This isn't something that's going to disappear with a  'sorry'" I sternly replied

"I overreacted Leo, it wasn't about Yunho." He started

"Then say it to my face, what's your problem with me?" I raised my voice

"Obviously I have no problem with you what are you going on about?" He scoffed

"Then why did you act all angry yesterday and walk out without an explanation San!?"

"Because I'm sick of it! We barely see each other now, and whenever we do you're not with me. You're always so holed up in your head!" He yelled out, "I just want us to be like before, and I admit that I put the blame on Yunho because I had nothing to redirect my frustration on. But it was never about him, I promise. I just want you next to me, and not just physically." He exhaled
