Chapter 18

"Don't cry anymore," Seojun said and patted my back. I nodded, wiping my tears away.

"I'll just go to the washroom real quick," I told him and he waited outside.

I went to wash my face and saw my reflection in the mirror - my eyes were red and puffy, my nose too, was red. I sighed. Why did he have to yell at me? I didn't do anything wrong!

I went out of the washroom and Seojun smiled at me. "Let's go talk somewhere," he said.

I nodded and he brought me to a staircase on the third floor, where nobody usually walk to.

We sat down on the steps. "So you wanna tell me anything?" Seojun asked.

"...I don't know," I said.

"You can't bottle up your feelings. If you don't mind telling me, I won't mind listening," he said.

I sighed, "Before you came to the school, Taehyung and I were always at each other's throats. Only recently we became friends, a little, but he's starting to go back to his old self, or maybe worse."

"Ah... that's sad. Do you like him?" He asked and looked into my eyes.

I stared back at him, thinking of an answer to that.

I looked away and spoke, "Nope."

"But you seem to be very hurt just because he shouted at you," he said.

"I'm just too embarrassed," I replied.

"Alright," he said, "Why not you date me?"

"Huh?" I looked at him, puzzled.

"You date me so that you can distract yourself from whatever's going on between you and Taehyung, and I can protect you from him."

I still stared at Seojun blankly because I didn't know how to respond to him.

"I like you," he said and winked at me.

It was a confession, it was the first time ever someone confessed to me.

"W-why... W-what?"
"So it's a yes?" He said and looked at me.

I awkwardly smiled, "Okay."

"Saranghae, Hyejinnie," He said and pinched my cheeks.
