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

🖤Chapter 63🖤

I awoke from my slumber, not remembering what happened the night before, until my gaze fell on the boy who was still sleeping on top of me. I smile, remembering how good it felt to be in his arms again, tangled beneath the sheets.

I softly touch his head and brush the lovely long hair away from his face, which glows in the natural sunlight that brightens the room. I look at him again, seeing how gorgeous he is, especially the little circular mole sat exactly beneath his eye. That's when I recall what he said the night before.

'I love you.'

Those three powerful words.

As I overthink his remarks, my rate quickens and nerves swarm in my gut. 'Did he say that on purpose? Was it all a figment of my imagination? 'Am I overthinking this?' Yes, I am overthinking, but that is my right. I need to know what he meant by those comments since last night felt like love, not desire.

Harley begins to awaken, straining his eyes shut before opening them. We both smile as our golden brown eyes connect. A nonchalant smile that reveals how shy we both are considering our diabolical behaviour over the night. I feel like a teenager glancing at her first high school crush.

"Good morning, beautiful." His husky morning voice vibrates through me.

"Good morning to you too, beautiful." I mock and he chuckles lightly.

My smile slowly fades as I prepare myself to ask him, "W-We need to dis-"

"About what I said?" Harley interrupts, looking down ashamed of himself. "I'm sorry."

I grab his head between my hands and lift it to look at mine.

"Why are you apologising?" I question, slightly nervous.

"Because, I know you aren't ready to jump back into my arms and start dating again, but that's how I feel about you. I love you, Audrey." Harley confesses, head has tilted back down.

It's exactly how I feel about him; I'm madly in love with him. I want us to go back before anything went wrong and just remember the moments when everything was great. I want to run back into his arms and tell him what he wants to hear, but he's right; I'm not ready.

First and foremost, I must resolve the matter with Felix and myself. I need to make certain that I truly love him and am not feeling compelled to do so.

"You're right." I take a deep inhale and exhale, "I'm not ready to jump back into your arms, but I am in love with you."

Harley nods his head slightly and sighs, he knew that answer was coming.

"Is it because you're in love with Felix too?"

I grab his face between my hands and tilt his head to look at mine. "I need to sort things out with him otherwise I'm going to end up losing him for good." Harley still looks hurt, his lips are pressed together as if he is going to cry. "I'll go talk to him today. I promise I will come back here after."

With that, I hurriedly gather my belongings and change into one of Harley's shirts and my skirt before we both go for Felix and Chris' place.

I decide not to tell Felix I'm going over since I don't want him to overthink or stress. I do, however, notify Chris and make certain that Felix remains at home.

As we approach the house, Harley appears anxious; his hands are plastered to the driving wheel, and his gaze is fixed on the house.

"Hey, this is Felix I'm seeing, there is nothing you should be worried about." I reassure, placing my hand over one of his.

"I know, I'm just paranoid. He loves you Audrey, and you do have feelings for him."

I exhaled an angry sigh before leaping from the car and marching towards the front door, knocking on the wood.

My right foot taps on the ground fast while I pick at my fingernails and my bottom lip catches between my teeth. I despise how anxious I am over something so insignificant. I glance back at the car, spotting Harley staring directly back at me, his nerves bouncing off onto me.

The door opens and reveals Chris, "Hey, Felix is in his room." The boy says.

I nod and walk inside, heading directly for his room where the door is slightly opened and I can see the young freckled boy laying down in his bed, scrolling on his phone.

"Knock, knock." I whisper as I open the door and let myself in.

Felix sits up straight and looks at me with confusion. "Audrey? What are you doing here?" He questions with a puzzled expression.

I sit myself down on the edge of his bed, facing him. "We need to talk, about us."

Felix nods his head, doesn't say a word, completely ready to listen.

I sigh and begin, "I slept with Harley..."

Silence.

Felix's eyes, begin to blink rapidly at an uneven pace as I start to see tears build up. My heart aches, can't believe I told Felix that.

"F-Felix?"

"He will always be the one you run back to, right? No matter what, there will always be a piece of you that will love and choose him over anyone." The boys finally speaks and it's the truth.

I feel tears trickle the edges of my eyes too as I can Felix's hands in mine, "I'm so sorry."

Felix's lips curl into a soft smile, like forgiven is written across his face. "Don't be sorry, this whole situation was a big mess and it began with Harley and will finish with Harley. I guess, I was just there to help you realise that."

I don't let Felix finish his sentence before leaping into his arms for a hug he deserves, full of love. His arms wrap around me and draw me in, burying his head in the crook of my neck and caressing my hair.

"I love you, Felix."

"I love you, Audrey."

Even though our interpretations of those words differed, we are both content to have each other and be in each other's arms. Felix will always be the wonderful, adorable boy I can always rely on, and I hope that I can be there for him throughout his life and see him enjoy the ultimate happiness he deserves.
