Reincarnated for 17

25.

Joshua Pov

"What do you mean?" Yeseul responded, I sighed "Let's get out of here first."

We decided to go to a coffee shop and sat down in a secluded corner, away from public eye. "You know the thud we heard before we left." I started. "Yeah?" she responded still clueless. "That was probably Seungcheol." I finished. "um okay, what's the problem in that?" huh did she still not get it? "Just think of the last few sentences we spoke before we heard the sound" she thought for a bit before her eyes widened. "OH SHIT, WHAT DO I DO" "You need to head home and immediately clear this misunderstanding or else it might ruin your chance of being with him." I spoke. She nodded and we soon left and parted ways.

I hope everything goes well.

Yeseul Pov

I got home as fast as I could and saw his shoes in the foyer. So he is home. I knocked on his door and heard a muffled "Come in". I walked in and saw him lying face down on his bed with the same clothes as earlier today. Joshua was right, he definitely overheard us.

"Seungcheol, I know you overheard us but we weren't talking about us going on a date. We don't like each other like that and we're not dating nor are we going to. So please think that, I don't want you of all people to misunderstand." There we go, I said it. He turned to look at me "Really? you promise?" he whispered, his voice low and raspy. I gulped "y-yeah I promise, I wouldn't lie to you. I've always been transparent with you haven't I?" He thought for a bit and nodded, smiling at me "I'm relieved." I blushed. He definitely likes me, he wouldn't say that otherwise. Should I just confess now?

"Come here, lie down." He spoke patting the space on the bed next to him, and I followed without a question. He was now lying on his back with his head turned in my direction and I was lying on my side, facing him. My heart was beating so fast, it felt like it would burst any second. "You're so pretty" He whispered, staring into my eyes. I blushed "T-thank you, you're pretty too" "But isn't pretty for girls? shouldn't I be handsome?" he smirked. I stuttered before getting embarrassed and burying my face in the pillow. He started laughing "You think this is funny" I said, frowning. He laughed even more before pulling me close to him, He was now lying on his side too and I was against his chest. "I don't think it's funny, I think it's very cute how easily you get flustered" He smiled. I buried my face in his chest, It was warm and cushiony. He hugged me.

I should confess. I moved my head so that we were facing each other now. "I have something to say" I spoke, he nodded signaling me to continue. "I...I like you." His eyes widened. "Really?! You like me? what how I don't understand, are you- is this a prank" I gently grabbed his face "No it's not, I like you Seungcheol." He took a deep breath and spoke "I like you too Yeseul." I smiled at him and we leaned in, putting our foreheads together. I closed my eyes, feeling like a weight had been lifted of my chest.

"Well well well, welcome back Yeseul Yang!" huh what is this, no no no It can't be. I can't bare to loose my lover again. "No don't worry, I'm not here to steal your guy again. I'm not that evil" the familiar voice chuckled. I opened my eyes and saw myself surrounded in flowers again, however this time they were different flowers. "Then why am I here." I spoke. "You're here so I can erase your memories of having seen me or being reincarnated or ever having liked wonwoo. That way you can live your life normally from this point on." wait this is...amazing, I can love him normally now without feeling guilty about hiding anything from him.

"And Joshua won't remember anything about the reincarnation either, But it's a bit annoying to have to erase someone else's memory too. You shouldn't have told anyone." He finished. "But you didn't tell me not to" I retorted "It's common sense." I frowned. "Well whatever, you'll go back to the same moment without any memory of this." "Thank you." I smiled. "Hmm yeah whatever. Go live your life with the guy you love...It was uh nice meeting you I guess." "Aww are you gonna miss me?" I spoke in a playful tone. "W-what that's ridiculous. Why would I miss a human" He spoke sounding flustered. I smiled and crouched down to the flowers and hugged them. "Eh? what are you doing-" "Giving you a thank you hug."  I smiled, letting go of the flowers. "Ew you're so weird, I'm sending you back now"  I laughed and closed my eyes again.

I opened my eyes and pulled away from Seungcheol, I leaned in again and pecked his nose. He smiled and kissed me and I kissed him back.

I am truly happy now.
