Left Behind | JiHan

Confession from you (5A)

This day marks a huge day for me. This day, everything changed. Whether it was for better or worst. Just in case you're wondering, obviously the worst.

But anyway, it was four months since I met you. Three since you hit me with a basketball. And two months after we became friends. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a tiny crush on you at the time when you confessed. But at least I can say if I ever had to confess, I'd do it better than the way you did.

Because honey, you sucked so bad it made me cringe harder than when I heard Hansol confess to a girl once. And I cringed so hard, a girl had asked me if there was something wrong with my face.

Jeonghan, let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? It started off with a "Jisoo-ah! You free after this?" I had nodded, not really curious as to what you wanted or why you had asked. "Meet me in the baseball field after class then." Then once again I had nodded. I didn't really care what you wanted. I just remember thinking about how stupid Hansol had to be to break my mini-statue for one of my projects so easily.

Now, everything else comes out quite fuzzy. Maybe it's because it's not really important what my teacher was going on about. All I know was that it had nothing to do with school. I think it had to do with his wife's birthday. Not that anyone cared, really.

The bell had rung, I went to the field as you had told me. "Yo!" You greeted me, and I remember doing the same. We stood and conversed about the small things. But then it finally came up. "Why did you call me here?" Before I go on, I just want to let you, the reader know, I'm still cringing as I write this.

You pulled me into your arms and wrapped your arms around me, you held me tight. That wasn't the bad part. This wasn't the cringe-worthy part. It was what you said and how you said it that made me want to go away and blend in with the winds. "Let me be the JayZ to your Beyoncé." I'll never forget that you said this and I immediately pulled away.

I laughed until you turned so red I'm pretty sure I made you feel bad. "Couldn't you just say 'I like you' like anyone else?" I had managed between laughs. You pouted and playfully smacked my arm. I think you named English artist knowing I was foreign and you wanted to impress me. I wasn't really sure as to why you used Beyoncé and JayZ as an example though.

Anyway, this day marked 28 days before my birthday, and I still didn't know what was coming for me.

All I knew was that your confession sucked butt. I also knew that I still liked your dorky ways.

"I'll give you my answer on Friday. Wait for me until then," I recall whispering in your ear. And I don't know about you Jeonghan, but when I said that to you, it sent shivers down my spine and goosebumps all over my body.

On this day, I got a confession from you. Oh, how I wish that I would have stood you up that day. But I didn't. WORST MISTAKE EVER!

(I've been considering adding two chapters to Left Behind. They will be special chapters in which both Seungcheol and Jeonghan read Joshua's journal. Their reactions to what's written and things like that will be in the chapter. Should I do this or should I just leave the book be?)
