Ch_32 Frustration

(Third Person's POV)

Just tell her man! You'll regret it later!

Felix huffs out, frustrated, kicking off the blanket harshly. He glances at the wall clock, it is already past twelve, but he cannot sleep a wink. He groans again before pulling himself up and stepping on the floor, barefoot.

He walks up to the window opposite his bed and draws the curtain to a side in one swift motion. He frowns when he sees her curtains closed and her room pitch black. She must be asleep. He stares at it for a while before letting out a sigh.

He turns back but left the curtain open, making the soft moonlight and the night breeze stream in a calm and soothing manner, hoping that somehow it would manage to lull him to sleep. He lies back down on the bed, one hand over his eyes.

From the time he can remember they had been always together, almost inseparable. Laughing, playing and even crying, it was always with her. He always knew that she was the most special person in his life whom he would never want to lose.

His lips tug on a nostalgic smile remisnicing those memories, a bittersweet feeling crawling up in his chest. Those were the happiest time of his life. But all good things have to come to an end one day.

It was when he reached twelve that he began distancing himself from her. Because that odd feeling would bubbled up whenever he was around her. Naturally he became scared and confused, and that teen age did not make it any better. So he did not realise it until he was way far into ignoring her. Felix scoffs at how dumb he was.

But it was already too late when he came to term with his feelings, his father had already planned to move to Sydney. He wanted to tell her at that moment but he could not, he did not know how to. After the ignoring and the lack of communication, it was natural to feel awkward.

"What do I even tell her..?" He mumbles to himself, adressing what Hyunjin told him earlier. "I messed up... And I mess up again and again."

He slids his arm off his eyes as he gaze at the window opposite his, which remains the same as it was. He huffs out again, a little sleepy and tired, before closing his eyes for real this time.

We meet today after five long years!

Nothing changed, she is still the same. Only more preetier.

She still smells the same, like roses and meadows. I realise again how much I missed her.

I don't care about the assignment. I just need an excuse to talk to her, to hear her voice, to convince myself that it's really her and not a dream anymore.

I wanted to ask her to ride with me but I chickened out at the last moment. She is really cute when she acts all angry and stomps her small feet.

I am genuinely surprised and happy when I open my door to find her standing. My heart pounds loudly and I cannot hide the wide smile spreading on my face.

Walking her home, in that cool night air, knowing that she is by my side, I don't want the moment to end.

I wanted to tell her how much I missed her. But when she turns back and face me, I can't word it out.

"Goodnight piggy."

That is all I can say.
