The Sighs I Had For You || A Lee Heeseung ff

Chapter 11

Jaeri placed a water on the tea table and sat on the side while Heeseung's on the big couch; "I ended the call with Mr. Kim, what's up?" Jaeri asked. "I want you to be honest with me right now" Heeseung said as he looked at her seriously. Jaeri felt something that this could be about the after graduation one...

"Heeseung, what if I'm not rea-" "not ready? I know, I just hope you can tell me what you can" Heeseung interrupted Jaeri, making her sigh. It might be the time they really need to talk about it. "Go" Jaeri said. "I know you're lying about the fact you were busy after graduation, cuz I can't really reach you. Even when you're at home, Won kept saying you're out always" Heeseung started. Jaeri was fidgeting her hands.

"Before you tell me the real reason, I have something to admit" Heeseung added as he looked at Jaeri. "I don't know what you feel but the time at your interview made me feel heavy for some reason... Jaeri..." He added, waiting for Jaeri to look at him. Jaeri looked up to him as she heard him call her name. 

"I'm sorry if I took so long to realize this, I have feelings for you..." He confessed. Jaeri stood there, speechless. She has been wanting to hear this from him but why... why does she feel alittle unhappy about it. Was it because it's been years? She's been holding onto her feelings for long and she doesn't know what to do now. Or has she accepted the fact that he'll never reciprocate how she feel for him.

"Are you sure you don't like me because you just miss us? You've been holding on the thought as why our closure has been lessened after graduation..." She stated. "Don't you just miss our closeness?" Jaeri added, looking at him. Tears starts to form in her eyes as she felt a little overwhelmed.

Heeseung noticed this and moved a little closer to her. "Everyone kept saying that to me and I have assured you that I do not just miss our closeness but I want us to be together." Heeseung said. "Hearing what you said in the interview, you don't have any romanti-" "I had to lie, they'll drag you or Sunghoon into an issue if ever I admitted that I had feelings for you" Jaeri interrupted him as tears starts to fall. 

Heeseung stood there frozen, after hearing what she had said. "And like now you're famous and all, I don't want to ruin your reputation too. Dating is not allowed on your contra-" "Well disregard that, I don't care about that" Heeseung cut her off. Jaeri glared at him. "My bad" Heeseung said and backed away a little. Jaeri sighed heavily.

"Your career is everything to you, and I know that. I know that you've also grown attached to me but please do understand that I need time for this. I have been liking you for years, I don't know if I can risk anything now" Jaeri admitted. Heeseung could only nod. "I can wait for you, I just wanted you to know how I feel" Heeseung said. Jaeri looked down, feeling guilty that she's not ready to reciprocate his feelings.

"I'm so-" Before she could finish her sentence, she felt Heeseung's hand on top of her head. She looked up to see him smiling genuinely at her. He patted her head; "I can wait, don't think too much about it" Heeseung said. Jaeri couldn't help but feel a little relief and smiled at him softly.

Jaeri went inside the room where the Enhypen are getting ready, there were camera man on her back, following her as the shooting has been started ever since she's done with her day off.

"Noona!" Most of the boys shouted. "Hi boys" She greeted with a smile as she placed down their lunches with Yoosoung's help. Some for the staff and some for the boys. Enha moved to the couch to grab some food for them each. "No rushing" Jaeri said as she looked at the 7 boys. "No choking also" She said glaring playfully at them. 

Mr. Kim walked up to Jaeri as Jaeri noticed that the camera were placed down. "We can do a little interview on the stairs? so that you won't have to worry a little while about it" He said to her. Jaeri nodded, agreeing to him. Heeseung was eye-ing the both of them as he knew there was something about Mr. Kim that kept bugging him. 

Jaeri warned the staffs that she'll  be outside for a while with the crew. Everyone nodded and told her that they'll save some lunch for her. Jaeri smiled before leaving with the crew. Heeseung couldn't help but want to follow them but he can't do that knowing it could make Jaeri uncomfy and the crew think about what's with them. 

The other boys noticed this and chuckled at his expression. Heeseung then turned to Sunghoon; "Does the agency know about you and your lover?" Heeseung asked. Sunghoon almost choked on himself at the sudden turn on him. "Bro, calm down. And yes they do know about us which kind of helped us to go on dates secretly, I did had some scolding" Sunghoon said to him.

"It was hard for him, and the CEO told us to keep quiet about it as it could affect our group for the meantime, I don't think he'll like it too if there's like more of us aren't single" Jungwon said as he took a bite of his lunch. 

"And come on, Jaeri noona won't give in easily to him, She's been liking him for ye-" Sunoo was cut off by Ni-ki who covered his mouth with meat. "I know now, you guys dont have to hide it" Heeseung said. All of the boys looked at him in shock. "I just confessed to her last night" Heeseung stated, avoiding everyone's gaze. 

All of the boys stood there, stunned at the information they got from him. "You must be lying???" Jungwon asked as he looked at him with wide eyes. "I'm... Not...?" Heeseung said, confused at his reaction.
