「 Let's play dress up? 」|| Minsung

24 - You need to tell him

Jisung immediately sat up on the bed. He thought he was having some after drink hallucinations because he doesn't remember stepping into this unfamiliar room. But then why did he hear Seungmin? Was he a part of his hallucination too? Then why didn't he hear Minho instead?

" You finally decided to wake up. " He turned his head towards the door to see Jiselle standing there with a green face mask on her face and a half bitten apple in her hand.

" Uh.. What am I doing here? " He seriously hoped this to be a hallucination. It was too early for him to deal with Jiselle's tantrum after she would know what happened last night.

" You don't remember? " She asked as she a bite out of the apple and walked inside. " Mr. Lee came to drop you off since you were drop dead drunk. "

" Oh. " Jisung racked his brain to search for the scene where he met minho but his brain drew a blank. Just a bits of Minho carrying him and smiling with the dark sky behind remained in his brain. " I didn't do anything embarrassing right? "

" Compared to what you did on that dinner date it wasn't the worst. " She replied without any anger in her voice which surprised him.

" Aren't you angry at me? Knowing I pissed off someone important for you. "

" Pfft- important? You're so funny! " Jiselle laughed wholeheartedly while Jisung sat in the bed contemplating if he should call Mrs. Kim to maybe give her some meds to bring her real self back.

" That man gets on my every single freaking nerve. He ain't even that important but he is there because his dad, senior Mr. Shin is in hospital. He asked his jerk bag of a son to join few meetings in his stead but that piece of molden bread always tried to hit on me. As if we don't have a clear 10 years difference between us.

Also that guy is so full of himself that he thinks he is superior than anyone else. I seriously wanted to stuff his face with some wet wipes but I never had the guts to. I gotta give it to you Jisung, you made my life much more easier. " She said with a relived smile and continued taking a bite out of her apple.

" Oh and Mr. Lee called Mr. Choi and fixed an appointment next week so I think you did a pretty good job last night even though you were drunk out of your mind. " Jiselle chuckled in triumph. With a last pat on Jisung's shoulder she left the room.
" Come down stairs when you're ready. Mrs. Kim made some breakfast for you and your friend. "

While Jiselle sounded like she was on could nine, Jisung felt nine feet burrowed under ground. He originally planned to score a deal with Minho, take the money Jiselle would offer and would leave without any regrets but now why did he feel like he betrayed someone?

Would Minho realize the difference if instead of Jisung, Jiselle went into the meeting? Would Minho still want to talk to Jisung after what he had done? Would Minho accept Jisung's feelings if he confessed as his real self?

Who was he kidding. He didn't even know if Minho liked boys. Jisung scoffed and pushed the questions aside. He did a good job that's all he thought as he went down stairs towards the kitchen.

" Morning Jisung. " Mrs. Kim greeted with a warm smile while serving some bacon and eggs into two plates.

" Morning sung! I see you had a good rest. " Seungmin walked into the kitchen with two glasses filled with coffee.

" You didn't have to make breakfast for me, Mrs. Kim. " Jisung said with a guilty smile. It's not like he didn't appreciate her but he didn't want to add on to her work since she deals with such a big problem everyday. That problem being a giant baby called Jiselle.

" It's not a problem at all. Ms. Jiselle called me early in the morning to tell me the good news and I didn't have time to make any breakfast for seungmin, so I decided to make breakfast for you both here. " She explained with a smile and gestured them both to sit on the barstool before passing the plates.

" You did a good job Jisung. " Mrs. Kim patted his back before leaving them both to eat in silence.

" So you can go back to your normal life now? " Seungmin asked as he took a bite. Jisung nodded and took a sip from the coffee.

He scrunched his face in disgust due to the bitter taste. He was used to the sweet milk coffee of cupcafé that this tasted a bit bitter.

" You okay? "

" Yeah it's just a bit bitter. " He replied and decided to just eat the breakfast Mrs. Kim prepared.

" I didn't mean that. I asked in general, are you okay? You seem a bit down. " Seungmin noticed how Jisung didn't seem too happy of his accomplishment but rather a little bit dull.

" Oh uh. I'm fine just hungovered. " He chuckled anxiously playing with the coffee mug.

" You want to keep this act up? This act of being Jiselle and meeting Minho? " Seungmin added the last part when Jisung's face scrunched in confusion.

" Honestly I don't know. I'm really confused about my own feelings. "

" Maybe, you wanna talk about it? " Seungmin took in his slightly dulled expression and offered. Jisung quickly nodded.

Seungmin was the only person who knew and talking about this with someone might help him realize his feelings and maybe then he won't feel as guilty as he did.

Well he was so wrong, because he did feel quilty when he told seungmin about their date which he hid from Mrs. Kim and Jiselle.

" You went on a date with him for non-business purpose and you still doubt your feelings? " Seungmin questioned and Jisung bit his lips. His actions didn't make any sense to him either.

He was supposed to get Minho to agree, not develop feelings for him. And knowing that Minho supposedly had something for Jisung felt like betraying him.

He felt like Minho gave him his heart and Jisung kept a dagger behind his back to stab his heart the instance it came into his possession.

" You need to tell him. " Seungmin suggested and Jisung looked at him wide eyed.

" I can't seung! He'll break the deal. "

" Sung, you don't think he'll feel betrayed once he finds out that the girl he had went on several dates and possibly had feelings for was someone else all along? "

" He'll hate me and he'll never agree for the deal. Jiselle won't pay me and I didn't work in the café much due to this so I won't get much money and then I won't be able to pay mom's hospital bills and then sh- "

" Shush. You're over thinking it. " Seungmin said and rubbed his arms. " I'm sure if you tell him calmly he'll understand. Maybe give him some time and tell him that you need this deal so that he may actually agree. "

Jisung let his words process and tried not to over think.

What if he ruins everything by telling the truth but what if he tramples the flower that bloomed between them by lying instead?
