When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Twenty: When I Finally Said I Love You (Part One)

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Seunghee hurries back inside and goes to the powder room. Her face is heating up, her heart is racing. She can't contain the feeling she's having. She enters the restroom and goes inside one of the cubicles. She wants to scream out loud. She wants to stumble around the place. And the thought that keeps screaming inside her head just want to escape, he kissed her. She feels like fainting. She wants to tell everybody that he finally kissed her. She disregards the details of not knowing the reason why he did it. Just the fact that he did, takes her out of this world.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Seunghee goes back to the hall after clearing her mind. She needs to hide the fact that she's happy despite the fact that he forced himself on her.

"Seunghee, where have you been? And what did Jeonghan do to you huh?" Areum inquires excitedly.

"Nothing. He was just quiet," Seunghee lies.

"What? After dragging you out of the hall? He didn't confess to you?"

"He didn't okay? I don't think I should expect him to do that anymore. He just doesn't see me as how I see him. It's hopeless."

"After getting hopeful, now it turns out to be a hopeless case? What the hell."

"Let's just forget about him. Where's Jun by the way?"

"Sorn took her out for fresh air for a bit. He's too drunk. What happened to him? Did you dump him again?"

"No, I didn't yet. I haven't even talked to him again."

"So that's why. He's upset all evening though. Why don't you forgive him already? It's been more than a month."

Seunghee just stays quiet. She's a bit concerned at how Jun is acting all night. But with what happened with Jeonghan earlier, all she can think about is him. And she doesn't care about anyone else.

"Hey Unnie, can I stay at your place tonight?" she asks.

Areum is a bit surprised about the sudden question but answers positively otherwise.

"Sure, no problem."

"Thanks."

Seunghee can't see Jeonghan just yet. Not when she's feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Jeonghan decides not to go back to the party. He asks Seungcheol and Jisoo to accompany him for a drink out of the venue. They take their beverages at the parking lot and settle there.

"So how did it go?" Seungcheol asks after gulping a dose of alcohol.

Jeonghan stays silent though so Jisoo and Seungcheol quite get the atmosphere. Maybe they just have to accompany him tonight.

Jeonghan is in deep thoughts. He needs to make amends for what he did. It's unreasonable and offensive. He just wish, she'd still talk to him. He just wish she forgives him.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

The next day Seunghee goes to school wishing not to meet Jeonghan soon. She doesn't want to see him yet. She's supposed to be angry with him. She's supposed to be mad at him. Not like this. She's feeling happy. She's like in cloud nine remembering that he really kissed her. But she can't even tell anybody about it. That's what's frustrating to her. And she can't meet him like this yet.
