Sweet hug| Lee Jeno

41

A groan escaped her lips as she left the stuffy office, Jeno following her. "God I can't wait to leave this damn school." She muttered to herself. The feeling of the cold raindrops that fell harshly on her shivering body felt oddly soothing to her. Ignoring the calls of the boy behind her, Chaewon continued to drag her school bag against the hard wet concrete floor and out the gates. "Chae! God..you walk- oh my god I need to sit down. Why do you walk so damn fast?" Jeno was bent over, hands on knees and panting hardly. He was so out of breath he didn't speak for a minute.

"Are you just going to skip for the rest of the day?" He asked. She shrugged, not really wanting to talk.

"I'm going to go home, I'm pretty tired." He nodded before walking over to her and put his oversized jacket over her shoulders, not forgetting to zip it up for her.

"Why didn't you bring a jacket, hm? You could've gotten sick." He murmured whilst put the hood over her head. Her eyes flickered between his. "Stop," She softly mumbled with no energy, taking Jeno aback. "Just stop."

"Wony what's wrong? Was it Hannah? Did she-"

"Are you going to pretend to be dumb forever?" She finally looked up at him with emotionless eyes.

"Chae I don't get what you're-"

"What do you see me as Jeno?" She was tired of it all. Being his fake girlfriend when she yearned to be his real girlfriend, to be held by him.

"Well you're one of my best friends. Whats this all about Chae?" His eyebrows furrowed as he tilted his head in confusion.

"Is that it? Nothing else?" Her glossy teary eyes held a glint of hope.

"Chaewon seriously what's wrong?" The pit in her stomach grew to the point where she felt sick.

"I like you for fucks sake!" The sonorous gruff of thunder had cut through the air.

"I have feelings for you Jeno."

"W-what did you s-"

"I've liked you for so long but I had to hide it so I didn't ruin our friendship, well non-existent friendship before you actually started acknowledging me. I hated this," She motioned between them. "Our fake relationship. It hurt because I knew you'd never see me in that way." Tears began streaming down her face. Voice laced with hurt. Her mascara was also running down her cheeks. His puffy jacket didn't stop the heavy rain from soaking her. It was as if his heart broke into a million pieces

"I'm just glad I got it off my chest, even if you don't feel the same. Just don't play with my heart again, please. You can go back to Hannah if you want I don't care." Jeno's eyes fell to the heartbroken girl and felt bad for her. After a few more seconds of silence, Chaewon began to walk home.

"Wony wait! I- fuck am I really going to do this?" The said girl turned around for a second before continuing on her journey.

"I like you too."
