CONTINUATION OF THE LAST CHAPTER

Riwoo's POV:

The bell rings, signaling the end of the period. As we flood out of the classroom, Jaehyun grabs my arm, pulling me towards the janitor's closet. My heart skips a beat as I panic, remembering that dream I had.

"Jaehyun, what's going on?" I try to ask, but my voice shakes.

He gently guides me into the closet, closing the door behind us. It's dimly lit, with only a small window letting in some light. I feel trapped.

"Riwoo, are you okay?" Jaehyun asks, his voice low and concerned.

I try to answer, but my words get stuck in my throat. I stammer, "I-I-I... yeah, I'm f-f-fine."

Jaehyun's eyes narrow, his gaze piercing. "You're not fine, Riwoo. What's wrong?"

I try again, but my stammering gets worse. "I-I-I... d-d-don't know..."

Jaehyun's expression softens, and he takes a step closer to me. "Hey, it's okay. You can tell me."

But I'm frozen, my mind racing with thoughts of that dream. I can barely speak or move. All I can do is stare at Jaehyun, hoping he'll understand.

I take a deep breath and confess, "I had a dream... about us. We kissed. In this room."

Jaehyun's eyes widen, and he looks flustered. "W-what? Riwoo, I... uh..."

He trails off, looking confused. I think he's rejecting me, and my heart sinks.

"I'm sorry, Jaehyun. I shouldn't have said anything," I start to apologize.

But Jaehyun interrupts me, "No, Riwoo, don't apologize. I... I think I might feel the same way."

My mind races as I process his words. He might feel the same way?

"But we only met a week ago," Jaehyun continues. "We should get to know each other better before... before anything."

I nod, trying to play it cool, but internally, I'm screaming. What is happening?!

Jaehyun smiles, looking relieved. "Good. I'm glad we're on the same page."

I try to compose myself, asking, "But, um, what did you originally want to talk to me about?"

Jaehyun chuckles, "I think I know all the answers I wanted. I'll see you later, Riwoo."

And with that, he leaves the janitor's closet, leaving me confused and reeling.

I stand there for a moment, trying to process everything. Did Jaehyun just confess feelings for me? Are we... maybe something?

I shake my head, trying to clear the cobwebs. I need to calm down and think this through.

But as I exit the closet, I can't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. What does the future hold for us?

I make my way to my next class, lost in thought, trying to make sense of everything. But one thing's for sure - my life just got a whole lot more interesting.

---

I walk into the cafeteria, scanning the room for my friends. They're already seated at our usual table, laughing and chatting. I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. I'm still reeling from my conversation with Jaehyun.

As I approach the table, Leehan notices me first. "Hey, Riwoo! What's up?"

I try to play it cool, but Sungho raises an eyebrow. "You look like you've seen a ghost. What happened?"

I hesitate, unsure how much to reveal. But before I can respond, Jaehyun walks in, flashing me a smile.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?"

The conversation turns to food, and Leehan starts raving about the new ramen place he tried over the weekend as Woonhak enthusiastically asks questions. I listen, trying to focus, but my mind keeps drifting back to Jaehyun.

Taesan notices my distraction and nudges me. "Hey, Riwoo, you okay? You seem spaced out."

I force a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired, I guess."

But Taesan looks skeptical. "If you're sure... we're here for you, if you need to talk."

I nod, feeling grateful for my friends. Maybe I'll confide in them later, but for now, I just want to enjoy lunch and try to process my emotions.

As we eat and chat, I steal glances at Jaehyun, wondering what he's thinking. Is he also feeling the same? And what does this mean for our friendship?

---

I sit down next to Taerae in class, trying to focus on the lesson. But I can't help myself - I need to confide in someone.

"Taerae, can I tell you something?" I whisper.

Taerae looks at me curiously. "Of course, what's up?"

I take a deep breath and explain the whole conversation with Jaehyun, from the dream to the confession. Taerae listens with wide eyes, a huge grin spreading across his face.

"Oh my gosh, that's so cute!" Taerae squeals, trying to contain his excitement. "You two are meant to be!"

I blush, feeling my face heat up. "Shh, not so loud. And it's not like that... yet."

Taerae nods, still grinning. "I know, I know. But I can see it - you two have chemistry. And Jaehyun's always been a bit reserved, so this is perfect."

I roll my eyes, laughing. "You're something else, Taerae."

But before I can respond further, Taesan leans over from the next row. "What's going on here? You two look like you're sharing secrets."

Taerae just grins at him. "Let's just say Riwoo's got a crush."

My face burns even brighter as Taesan raises an eyebrow. "Oh? And who's the lucky person?"

I try to play it cool, but Taesan's already figured it out. "Jaehyun, right?"

I nod, feeling embarrassed but also relieved that my friends are being so supportive.

---

I walk through the front door, feeling a spring in my step. My mom looks up from her book, noticing the sudden change in my demeanor.

"Riwoo, what's going on? You look like you're walking on clouds," she says, setting her book aside.

I try to contain my grin, but it's no use. "Nothing, mom. Just had a good day."

She raises an eyebrow, intrigued. "That's all? You're not going to tell me what's behind that smile?"

I shake my head, feeling a bit mischievous. "Not yet, mom. I'll tell you when the time is right."

She looks confused, but her expression softens into a warm smile. "Okay, dear. I'll wait. But I'm curious now!"

She gets up from the couch and heads to wake up my dad for dinner. I watch her go, feeling grateful for my supportive family.

As I head to my room, I can't help but think about Jaehyun and our conversation. I feel like I'm floating on air, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

I sit down at my desk, pulling out my phone to text Jaehyun. But then I hesitate, wondering if I should wait for him to make the next move.

Ugh, why is this so nerve-wracking?! I think to myself, laughing nervously.

I put my phone down, deciding to focus on my homework instead. But my mind keeps wandering back to Jaehyun...
