The second that Jisung's lips brushed over her own it was as if she had been shocked back into coherence.
"Jisung, I'm getting married," she said in a rush.
His movements came to an immediate halt. The long pause was unbearable and a sudden flash of regret spread throughout her consciousness.
Xia's face scrunched up as she anxiously waited for his reaction.
There wasn't much of one.
A few agonizing seconds later she pulled away from the man, leaving him dumbfounded.
With her eyes now wide open she could see his conflicted expression. He looked around the room nervously before glancing down at her.
"I know," he said hesitantly, donning a shy demeanor all of a sudden.
What?
"What?"
If he knew she was getting married, then what was... that whole... affectionate display that just happened?
The girl was beyond perplexed.
"I mean," he raised his hands up in front of him claiming innocence, "isn't he the guy that... you know." He stared down at the ground for a moment, "you said he didn't find you attractive."
Xia shook her head in a stunned manner.
Honestly, she had forgotten that she had told him about that.
"No. " She said instantly before backtracking. "Well, yes. It's him, but... it was just a misunderstanding."
Jisung met her eyes, silently giving her a chance to explain further.
"He wasn't upset about being with me, he was just concerned about the whole marriage thing."
An odd expression came across his face. A mix of confusion and something else. Something darker.
He took a step back and tilted his head to the side, staring down at her with narrowed eyes.
Despite this Xia kept talking.
"The whole thing is super complicated to explain, but he's actually a good guy—"
"Wait," Jisung cut her off in a stern tone, "you're telling me that you were already engaged when we hooked up that night?"
The disgust and frustration emanating from him traveled to the girl in almost an instant.
She scoffed, eyebrows furrowing together, taking her own step back in defense.
