Hearts draw close

"Where is Moon?"

Jungsu looks at Jooyeon and Gunil, who just came back home.
"She's with Seungmin."
"I thought she was with you guys?" Jungsu wonders.
"Yeah but Seungmin said he was coming so I left them alone." Jooyeon explains, feeling kinda proud.

Jungsu looks at him, a bit disappointed. "And why would you do that?"
"Why are you mad? I just made them a favour."
"A...favour?" Jungsu looks genuinely confused.
"You're telling me that you don't know that she likes him after all this time?"
Jungsu looks at Jooyeon, before looking around, trying to contain his feelings.

"Are you okay?" Jooyeon asks as he sees his friend's eyes darken up.
"I didn't know about this. Well... I had a feeling but didn't want to believe it."
Jooyeon taps Jungsu's shoulder. "I didn't know how you felt, I'm sorry."
"Don't be, it's no one's fault. She doesn't like me." He takes a deep breath, avoiding Jooyeon's eyes, "It's fine."
They stay in silence for a moment.
"Jooyeon... do you think he likes her back?" Jungsu looks at Joo with a hopeful look.
"To be honest I think so. But... maybe you still have a chance?"

"Kiss me"

I try to stay calm as I realize what I just said, without thinking twice.
I look at Seungmin's eyes, trying to understand what he's thinking.
He slowly get closer, kissing all over my cheek softly.
"Not there silly..." That's what I think, but I don't interrupt him and I just be pleased as I feel his soft lips on my cheek. I keep holding his face gently, closing my eyes as I enjoy this sweet moment with my favorite person.

As he pulls back I put my hands on his shoulders again.
He looks so pretty and cute, I give him a little kiss on his nose.
He giggles, "What was that?"
"You don't like it?"
"I love it."

But at this point I don't want to hold back anymore, I already failed at not getting too attached to him, so I just want it all.
I start kissing his cheeks like he did before. He embraces me warmly, I feel so comfortable in his arms.
I pull back, but my lips are still so close to his.

"Moon!"

I get surprised by the voice calling my name and turn back.
"... Jungsu?"
He's just standing there, panting like he ran here in a rush.
I can't help but feel a bit irritated, why did he have to ruin the moment?

"Can I talk with you? It's important..." He says, his eyes looks teary.
I look at Seungmin, he smiles at me and nods. So I get up.
"Wait here for a moment okay?"

I follow Jungsu to a spot nearby.
"What happened? Why did you run here?"
He takes a moment before answering.
"I want to tell you something ... but it's just to let go a burden."
He's looking at the floor, his hands nervously playing with eachother.

"I like you." He lets out, finally staring at me.
My heart breaks as I hear his words.
"You don't need to answer. I know you don't feel the same."
"Jungsu, it's not like that... I like you but-"
"But you like him more. I know, and it's okay." A single tear runs down his cheek. He wipes it quickly.
I get closer to hug him but he steps back.
"No, I'm sorry but don't..." He stops my hands.
"I don't want you to be mad at me again..."
"I can't be mad at you. I'm hurt, but I just want you to be happy."
"Don't cry please... you're prettier when you smile."
He smiles slightly. "I'm sorry for interrupting you... I'm so selfish."
"You're not selfish, it's okay." I reassure him.
"If he... doesn't treat you well-"
"He will. I'm sure he will, okay?"

We come back to Seungmin. I think I did enough for today, and I'm still sad for Jungsu so I can't just go back to the previous mood like nothing happened.
Jungsu waves at us quickly and leaves first.
"Should we go home too?" I look at Seungmin, trying to fake a smile.
"Okay... but before that, what did he say?"
"It doesn't matter, really."
"He's my friend, I want to know why he's sad..."
"If he wants he will tell you personally, don't you think?" I caress his cheek.
"Maybe you're right..."
