DAMI'S POV

We were all just standing in the living area, Yeonjun and I beside each other and Jungwon in front of us. "What's going on?" he asked in confusion.

"We... kind of need to talk to you," I cleared my throat.

"We? Like both of you?" I nodded silently. "What's up?" he questioned.

"We kind of uh, lied to you," Yeonjun said.

"Lied to me?" He raised his eyebrows questioningly.

"Yeah, we um... we do know each other. Like really well. From two years ago when she was still here," Yeonjun said.

"Oh," he laughed, "That's fine, why not just tell me though?" he asked.

He thinks that's it.

"Because-"

Yeonjun cut me off, "Because I liked her. Like... really liked her."

"Oh," Jungwon said, nodding slowly. "Wh- what happened?"

"I left to New York. Actually, uh... my mother passed away two years ago." He nodded understandingly. "And I couldn't really take it. So I left. Without telling anyone."

"And we were really close," Yeonjun added.

"Like... best friends or... more?" he questioned.

"At the time, just best friends. But we liked each other. We just never told the other person," I mumbled.

"After she left, we never spoke to each other. Until she came back and then you introduced her to me as your girlfriend," Yeonjun said.

"Oh. So, the first time you saw her since then was when I brought her here?"

"Kind of, yeah," Yeonjun nodded.

"Sorry, hyung. I wouldn't have if I knew."

"No, it's okay, it's perfectly okay," Yeonjun shrugged. "That wasn't a problem."

"But there's a problem now," I cleared my throat.

"Okay?" he asked slowly in confusion.

"I kind of um, still..." Yeonjun stuttered. "I kind of still like her." Jungwon didn't react, just looked between Yeonjun and me.

"And I kind of like him too," I mumbled.

"So, you don't like me?" he asked.

"No, I do," I said quickly, "I just... Not in that way," I sighed.

"In what way, exactly?" He lifted a brow at me sharply.

"In that 'you give me butterflies' way," I groaned. "How do I explain it?"

"That explained it pretty well," he scoffed. "You don't feel the chemistry. Does that sound right?"

I nodded regretfully, "Yeah."

"And you feel it with him?"

"Yes."

"Okay," he nodded, taking a slow breath. "Have you two done anything?"

"No," we said in sync.

"Have you two... kissed?"

"We-"

"I kissed her," Yeonjun said quickly. I stared at him, surprised that he admitted it so openly.

"When?"

"Yesterday."

"Yesterday?" Jungwon asked in shock.

"Here."
