He continue to kiss her tenderly. He just couldn't bring himself to stop. This just feels so right but his mind is telling him to stop this craziness at once. He can feel her shock at first but she just let him kiss her.
Dong Wook stop and put his head on her forehead to collect himself.
"I'm sorry Ji Hyo. I don't know what came over me. Don't ask me why I did it. " he told her before opening his eyes to look at her.
He didn't see the hurt that cross Ji Hyo's face when he said those words. When he look at her, she is just her usual mong expression, so blank and emotionless he didn't know what to say or think.
"Ji Hyo ssi, pls don't be mad. I'm not taking advantage of our friendship. You know how much I deeply care for you and I don't want to ruin our friendship because of some stupid kiss." He stands and walks in front of her a little agitated. She was not responding still.
When he turn around he saw her stand. For the first time she showed emotion on her face. She is angry and hurt. She collects her things and just walk silently towards the door.
He didn't know what to do but he can feel the panic that is building in his chest. He can't afford to lose her again. They are just starting to mend their frienship and now he ruined it again.
"Pls Ji Hyo say something. Don't leave me like this. Our friendship is stronger than this." He block her path and held her wrist.
"Pls. Dong Wook just let me go. This is too much for me." She whispered with bow head.
"Why are you being like this. It's just a kiss okay. There was no romantic feelings, I was just swept up with the moment. It didn't mean anything. It was a mistake okay." He was almost shouting his words at her. Then he saw tears running down her face. She was crying silently and he didn't even realize it.
"Yaa, Ji Hyo...." he was taken aback by her tears. He just wants to envelop her in his arms and tell her that everything will be right between them but he was rooted in the spot. He was confused by everything.
"Don't you see Dong Wook, you are hurting me with your words and actions. You are hurting me over and over again." She try to free her hand but he held on tightly.
"I don't understand Ji Hyo." He was so lost but he knows that if he didn't stop her, she will be gone in his life...maybe forever. And it hurts so deeply just thinking about it.
"You want me to say it? I'm falling for you Dong Wook. I don't know when and where or why but I am in love with you okay. And I know that you would never look at me more than a friend." Her tears keep falling in her face.
As much as he would like to wipe those tears, he was caught off guard by her sudden confession.
" She was in love with me? " It kept repeating in his head. It brought him a sense of joy but also a lot of confusion.
"Mwo? I... I..." He was lost for words.
"See, you can't even imagine me loving you more than a friend. I just can't take it anymore. I try to control it but you keep doing things like this. I have feelings Wookie, even if you don' t see me as a girl, I am still a woman with feelings."
"Let's just stop seeing each other. I don't want to burden you with my confession. Let me sort my feelings first and maybe we could be friends again like we used to." She remove his hand and silently walks out the door.
He could see the pain in her eyes, the tears that silently falls proved how he had hurt her. She never cries. Even when she broke up with her CEO boyfriend Baek Chang Ju. But look how he made her cry. He felt like the biggest jerk in the world.
"How could I not see what she feels. I know in my heart that I love her but it was nothing romantic, right?" He was talking with himself. He was so confused that he pulled his hair out of frustration.
He wants to follow her but knowing Ji Hyo she would not see him or hear him out.
"Am I really just letting her walk out of my life? Maybe it's better this way. It will never work between us anyway. We can't afford a scandal at this point in our career." He was so distraught he drinks half the bottle of wine he opened and drown himself in sorrow.
Dong Wook try to forget what happened but he can't. He keeps seeing her face smeared with the tears he had cause her. Her beautiful face was full of hurt, he wants to punch himself. He decided to let her go but texted her first when she doesn't answer his calls.
~ Ji Hyo... I'm sorry if I hurt you. We were so close I never imagine you have feelings for me. You know I love you. I'm not sure now what love I'm feeling for you but I am hurting too.~
He paused and thought deeply if he needs to tell her honestly what he's been feeling and thinking after her confession. It may hurt her more to know but he need to get this out of his chest.
~ I'm so confused right now. When you said you love me, I felt like the luckiest guy but I'm not sure with how I feel. Maybe it's better we separate our ways and contemplate what we really feel for each other. Saranghae Ji Hyo. You will always be my best girl.~
He sent her the message and he was shocked to realize that he was crying too. He thought he lost her and it pains him so much.
"Mianhae Ji Hyo, I'm a coward." He whispered before passing out drunk.
