Seven Wishes | Jeon Wonwoo

Chapter 13

"Yeoreum." Mingyu called.

"Yes?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Is it too early to say that.." Mingyu stopped as he looked at somewhere else, there could be seen that he's actually blushing.

"I like you." He smiled.

Yeoreum gasped.

She could feel her heart beating very fast.

She covered her mouth with her hands.

"M-Mingyu." She stuttered.

"You're a very positive girl. I like that about you. You're very considerate of me. You cried knowing I was having a bad day. You were there listening to me when I'm talking about what's making me sad. You've been a great friend and I'm happy to have met you." He confessed, Yeoreum stayed still with widened eyes, couldn't register everything to her brain.

As if things escalated too quickly.

"You.. You always find a way to make me smile. And I'm happy whenever I'm around you." He added.

"That's why I like you, Yeoreum. And I want to do the same things for you too. I want to be considerate of you and I want to be there for you whenever you're having a hard time." Now, he flashed her his breathtaking smile. It's the smile that Yeoreum would die for.

'Wonwoo, this wish is too much.' Is the only thing that she had in her mind.

She knew, all those years she've been crushing on Mingyu. She knew she've been very obsessed and infatuated with him. And she knew, she've used all of her wishes for him, so far. She could've wish for money, but she didn't. She wished for him to notice her. She could've wish for a bigger house for her family, but she didn't. She wished to look great in front of Mingyu instead.

She could've wish to win the lottery now that she have three wishes left, but she didn't. She didn't use her wishes for things like that, she only used her wishes for Mingyu.

She love him very much.

Having Mingyu to confess to her is what she've always wanted to hear, to see and to experience.

But why isn't she happy?

She should.

Yeoreum could feel her heart aching.

Coming home, Yeoreum rushed to her room and slammed her door causing a loud thud before she slumped her body on her bed, crying. Crying as if the love of her life just dumped her, without any proper reason.

Wonwoo blinked his eyes.

Wonwoo sat on the windowsill for quite awhile, waiting for Yeoreum to calm herself down. He didn't want to interrupt her when she's having a mental breakdown, at least that's what he thought.

Finally, she sat down and wiped her tears away.

"Wonwoo.." She called.

"Yes, Yeoreum?" He stood up right beside her bed, giving Yeoreum a concerned look.

"I hate myself.." There, she cried out loud again.

Wonwoo scratched the back of his head, he didn't know what to do and how to comfort her. Ice cream? She's gonna say no.

Wonwoo sat beside her and side hugged her.

"Shh.. It's okay.." He whispered whilst gently stroking her hair.

"It's not okay.. Look at what I've done? I was so selfish Wonwoo, I really am selfish. I only think about myself, I only considered my feelings, I only prioritize my needs and wants without thinking about all the consequences it'll bring." She whimpered whilst sobbing.
