Coincidence

Unexpected feelings

"So, as you are older than me, I am going to show due respect."

"Uh, i-it's fine if you call me by my name."

"Okay, if you say so... So, Jaehun? What are you studying currently?"

"I took finance and accounting."

"Oh! Interesting."

I think I should leave now. Let me give them some time. I am just third-wheeling. I slowly walk away from there. I am having a weird feeling. Why... Did I... fall in love? No... I can't... I don't have any interest in boys... no... I hate boys. They all are dogs. I went back to Mom. They were walking on the beach, chit-chatting. Papa called me from the side.

"Why are you looking off?"

"M-me? Uh, er, no, I am fine."

"Do you want ice cream then?"

"If you say so."

Papa checked his pocket, but his wallet wasn't there. He gave me the hotel key.

"Can you bring the wallet?"

I didn't say anything, just walked towards the hotel. The cafeteria was silent and empty. I was walking and thinking about how I should pass these days with him. Suddenly, someone held my hand and pulled me to the side.

"What the-"

I looked at the person. It was Jaehun.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

"Why did you leave like that?"

"Wh-where?"

"Are you mad?"

"Wh-why would I be... l-let me go."

He pinned me against the wall. My heart started racing. I couldn't understand what to do. We heard some footsteps coming. No, I don't want to get caught like this. Neither can we hide here. It will be a bad impact for us if someone sees our faces.

He looked around, then at me. Unexpectedly, he... kissed me softly on my lips. I found myself frozen. The person who was passing by already passed. He then quickly broke the kiss and looked away.

"Hopefully th-that person didn't see us. S-sorry..."

I was just wondering what had just happened. He kissed me to cover up? That wasn't feelings? Now I understand why I am getting delusional day by day. I should just leave now. I was about to leave, but he held my hand.

"I... have something to tell you."

My heart skipped a beat.

"I love you, Yume."
