𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐲 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐞 // Enhypen Heeseung [18+] (✓)

44: Revelation

I felt a wave of emotions crashing over me. He had just described someone with such admiration and affection, and now he was asking how I would react if I were that person. My mind raced, caught between my feelings for him and the desire to be supportive and honest.

I took a deep breath, trying to steady my voice as I responded. "Heeseung, that's a really tough question for me to answer," I began, choosing my words carefully. "Because if I were that person, I'd be incredibly touched and overwhelmed by the way you're talking about her."

I paused, looking into his eyes, trying to gauge his reaction. "I'd appreciate your honesty and the depth of your feelings. It sounds like you care about her a lot, and that's something very special. I think it's important to be open and sincere about your emotions, and it sounds like you're doing that."

A mix of sadness and understanding colored my tone as I continued, "But, if I'm being honest, hearing how you feel about her makes me wish I were in her place. It's not easy to hear, but I want to be supportive and help you figure things out."

I looked down for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "If I were that person and I knew how much you cared, I'd want to be honest with myself and with you. It's important for both of us to understand our feelings and communicate them clearly. And even though it's difficult for me to process right now, I genuinely hope that she recognizes how special you are."

I met his gaze again, my heart heavy with the weight of my words. "So, I'd say that if you're sincere and clear with her, she'd likely appreciate it. It's important for both of you to be honest about your feelings and see where it leads."

I tried to offer a reassuring smile, despite the turmoil inside me. "I want to support you, Heeseung, and help you navigate this. Even though it's hard for me, I believe in being honest and true to our feelings."

Heeseung looked at me with a mixture of shock and relief, and I wasn't quite sure how to interpret his reaction. My own nerves were getting the best of me, making me feel increasingly anxious.

"Chloe..." he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

I averted my gaze, feeling a flush of embarrassment. "It's okay, don't—"

Before I could finish, I felt Heeseung's hand gently guide my head towards him. He was now closer than before, his face inches away from mine. He looked at my lips for a brief moment before meeting my eyes again. "Do you really not know that I'm talking about you?"

Did I just hear that correctly? My heart began to race rapidly, each beat echoing louder in my ears.

Heeseung tilted his head slightly, closing the distance between us. His gaze was intense, yet tender, as he asked, "May I?"

I could only nod in response, feeling a mixture of anticipation and excitement. I closed my eyes as he leaned in, and moments later, I felt the softness of his lips against mine. The kiss was gentle yet filled with an undeniable passion, a blend of tenderness and fervor that made my heart flutter.

After a few seconds, Heeseung pulled back slightly, his face flushed and a shy grin playing on his lips. I couldn't help but smile back at him, feeling a profound sense of joy and relief.

"Chloe..." he said again, his voice now more confident and full of emotion. "I love you."

The words hit me like a wave, washing over me with a sense of warmth and elation. My hand finding its way to the back of his neck. I gently pulled him back toward me, initiating another kiss.
