🔞I May be Falling in Love // Hwang Hyunjin🔞

🖤Chapter 61🖤

Harley clears his throat and widens his eyes. "T-the that's girl I had to cheat on you with." Tears start to form in his eyes. "I was about to leave that morning when she knocked on my door. I couldn't persuade her to leave, and I was getting worried, so she offered to leave me alone in exchange for pretending to be my girlfriend in front of you."

I instantly wrap my arms around the boy, and he begins to shake as he recalls his experience with that woman. "Isn't she gone now? There would be no more of her." I rub little circles on his back to reassure him. Harley nods into my grasp, his head resting in the crook of my neck.

A knock on the door separates us. I hand Harley a tissue and proceed to the door, which I open for the rest of the boys. Everyone is now in the house except Felix, which allows some guilt to creep in.

"Is everything all right?" Chris inquires, approaching Harley, who is still in tears, while the others stand awkwardly around us.

"Everything should be fine now, but I need to speak with everyone." I sigh before continuing, "Why didn't anyone tell me anything?" My arms are folded as I survey the boys, my gaze drawn mostly to Cole, who is looking down at the tiles.

"We are all sorry for not telling you, we all wanted to protect both of you but it became so difficult," Jesse says.

Jesse usually speaks the truth, which makes sense given that he was concerned about Harley after we split up.

When I turn around, I notice Chris standing behind Harley, rubbing his shoulders, while everyone else looks embarrassed. "Please, no more secrets, okay?" I make my point, and everyone, including Harley, nods.

After a bit more conversation, the boys decide to depart, leaving Harley and I in an uneasy stillness in the living room. "Can you p-please stay the night again?" He asks, putting his hand on top of mine.

"A-Are you sure? It's taking a lot for us to even be near each other."

"I can't be alone right now, please." Harley is nearly begging, so I nod and lean in next to him, gently hugging him. It feels strange to be back in his grip as he hesitates to wrap his arms around me. Whatever the reality is, it will take a lot of strength from both of us to trust each other again.

If only things could go back to the lovely honeymoon love we enjoyed before any drama, but then we'd have to go through all of this pain again.

Harley puts his head on my shoulder, staring blankly at the wall, while I'm lost in my own thoughts. "Are you ever going to love me again?" He inquires.

My heart feels like its going to break into a million pieces that Harley thinks I've stopped loving him. "Harley," I begin, my tears threatening to fall from my eyes. "Those feelings never left."

"And how about Felix?" The boy take a seat.

"I don't think I'll be able to see him for a while," I sigh.

Harley doesn't respond; instead, he stands up and extends his hand to shake mine. I accept it, and he convinces me to accompany him to the bedroom. I quickly become concerned, wondering what is going through his head. He places me on the edge of his bed and looms over me with a slight smirk.

"Can I kiss you?"

His words cause my pupils to dilate. It was not what I expected, nor am I anticipating anything else. I realise how much I miss his plump pink lips slamming against mine. I miss Harley a lot, but for now, I nod my head slightly and lean in to kiss him.

Our lips glide against one other for a few seconds, holding a passionate kiss before returning for a more eager kiss. He takes a seat next to me and cups my face, our lips moving against one other, yearning for more.

"I missed this." He mutters through his heavy breaths, leaning back in for more.

Having our lips meld together again is similar to finally discovering that one puzzle piece that has been missing for months and completing the puzzle. If we're going to make a mistake, it'll be now; I'm too caught up in the moment to even consider that this is all happening too fast. There are still many things we need to talk about if we want to get back together, but for now, I just want to get tangled up with this boy like it's our last night on earth.

My hands glide through his long tresses, softly tugging at them to let out a low groan. I use it to let my tongue touch his and connect, losing myself in the flavour of him.

I move across his lap, straddling him, and his hands settle firmly on my hips, pushing me to rub my body softly against his. Our bodies' very small friction is causing my heart to beat a million times per minute, making me both delighted and nervous to continue.

We both finally pull our faces away to catch our breath, staring into each others lust-coated eyes. He lets out a small breathy chuckle, realising the dumb act we have started. The air isn't awkward but there's a big cloud of silence dangling over our heads.

"I-I don't even know what came over me." He begins, smiling at me. His smile seems genuine, not filled with desire but rather with love. I haven't seen that smile from him, it's completely new; there's no fear or worry behind it. I can feel a small lump forming in my throat but swallow it down, I don't want to cry over a genuine smile but it is how I feel, and I think he can see it.

"What's the matter?" His big soft hand cups my cheek, caressing it with his thumb as his eyes look into mine.

"I like this smile, it suits you."
