Chapter 10
~Date me~
(1 week later)
It's been one week and I avoided him.
I'm too shy, maybe even too prideful to approach him first. And I was thinking a lot.
Quite a lot.
The door rings and I open it expecting that it's him behind the door. What I didn't expect was the way he looked at me with earnest, understanding eyes.
"We should talk"
"I- Yes...come in...and thank you"
He nods, knowing that I thanked him for trying to break the awkwardness between us first.
I offer him to sit on the couch and we sit next to each other. I turn my upper body towards him and our knees almost touch and only the thought of it sends an electric shiver through me.
"Why have you been avoiding me..after..-"
"After the kiss" I continue.
"I'm sorry if I did something to make you feel awkward or something you didn't want" I shake my head.
"No, Jungwon, that's not it." I sigh "I have a long story to tell...so-"
"I'm here all day, take your time" he reassures me and I curtly nod.
"So. During this week I thought a lot. And I came to one conclusion."
I pause, reminiscing on what we've experienced so far.
But before that, I told him honestly how I was feeling embarrassed because I had thought he wanted to kiss me when it wasn't even his intention. I felt as though he had just kissed me back out of pity, but the way he had kissed me so passionately proved my statement wrong.
The way he was so considerate and made breakfast on my first day here. How he made me feel butterflies at one time and made me laugh at the other. I think about how once we started talking, it seemed as though time slowed down and within seconds hours had already passed by.
I come to think of how even when we're silent I feel comfortable. I think of all the moments we had in those 3 weeks.
Stuck in an elevator, breakfast, waking up next to him, our dinner, arcade, dance class, drinking boba, walking around Busan.
I know things went bad with Jungkook but that doesn't mean the same thing has to happen with Jungwon. Yunah's said the same thing too. He's different than him... even the kiss felt different. A whole lot different. Besides, you only live once and I just can't shake the lingering thought of a 'what if' off.
What if he's the one?
A smile creeps up and I continue. "I came to the conclusion that I like you"
His eyes dart to mine and that weird thing happens again. The time stops.
After a while, my smile drops again.
"But..the thing is...I'm afraid. And I don't want to hurt you because of it."
And with that, I tell him everything. The reason why I am in Busan and how Jungkook broke my trust and heart. It felt good to let it out on someone other than my friends and family. I've kept quiet about it 2 months after our break up, not wanting to bother them anymore. But pretending I was fine while I wasn't, didn't do any good to me.
That's another thing why I fell in love with him.
With him, I could truly express myself. I don't know why...it's just his aura and when he looks at me with those eyes of his that always make me want to tell him the darkest of my secrets. That intense gaze and smile, everything about him makes me feel comfortable.
"You know falling in love is scary. It's like letting yourself fall, not knowing if that person will catch you." I finish and look at him again. I taste something salty and realize that tears have fallen. They still are.
He brings his hand towards my face but stops "May I?"
I nod and close my eyes as he gently strokes his thumbs across my eyes, wiping away the tears.
"Don't feel bad if you're not ready to have a relationship. I totally respect that"
"No" I shake my head. "I can't just keep running away like that. I don't want to regret letting you go because I was afraid to even hold onto you in the first place. I need to learn to face things because you only learn lessons the hard way."
I think about how I swore myself not to fall in love again until I felt like I wanted to. But that's not how love works. You come across it when you least expect it. Just like with clovers that have four leaves.
I gulp, fidgeting with my fingers "So if you want to, and only if you do..date me"
