I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND (JAEJOONG FANFIC) #WATTYS2015

CHAPTER 6

“Why did you tell him the truth?” Daichi asked Lena while his eyes was fixed on the road. He was already driving home. He still couldn't believe what she had done.

            “I think it was the best for everyone . . . .” she replied as she looked at the lights outside the car. Her mind was in a total mess. She didn't know why she told Jaejoong about Daichi. Somehow she felt that it was already useless for her to hide the truth.

            She was already teaching herself to accept the truth that she was going to end up with Daichi no matter what she did. She glanced at Daichi . . . . He was already a perfect husband for any girl. He could easily be considered as a good catch to some women. He was handsome, had a very stable job, rich, intelligent, with good family background, understanding and very loving. A lot of girls she knew were already saying that she was very lucky that she got him as a fiancee.

            Lena sighed. “Should I be happy that I am going to marry Daichi?” she asked herself silently. Her mind was telling her that she should be happy . . . . but somehow her heart was telling her a different answer.

            “Is it right that I am staying next to their apartment? What if someone found out and it cause some problems?” she asked herself again.

            “What are you thinking?” Daichi asked. He knew that Lena was thinking of something. And he really wanted to interrupt her. He wanted to know the truth.

            “I am thinking . . . . of me and you . . . . of Jaejoong and me . . . . and whether it is right that I am going to stay in the same building with Jaejoong,” she replied unconsciously. It was her trait to answer straight away when asked without thinking first. She was very surprised that Daichi had taken advantage of her being preoccupied with her thoughts.

            Daichi smiled. “You can never be a liar. You're too honest and too direct with everything. What do you plan to do now . . . now that you already have told him about you and me? How are you supposed to make him fall for you now?”

            Lena stared at Daichi. “I don't want to make him fall for me anymore. I know I can never do it. What I want now . . . . is to be at least honest with him. I want to tell him how I truly feel about him. That is the only thing I want now. . . . “ she replied sadly.

            “Lena . . . . why?”

            “Daichi . . . . I just want to be with him as a friend now . . . . I know . . . . friendship is the only thing that he can offer me . . . . and I guess I have to try to content myself with that,” she replied.

            “So are you really sure with your decision? Does this mean that you are already accepting our engagement? Are you really ready to accept me as your husband to be? ” Daichi asked with his heart pounding very hard as he waited for her answer.

            Lena stared out the car. “Yes . . . . I guess there is nothing more I can do. We are both stuck in this . . . . and I am already very tired of fighting against my family, especially my parents' wishes.”

            Daichi felt that Lena was already surrendering. . . . She was already accepting their current situation. At that time . . . . he couldn't really decide whether he should be happy or sad. He only wanted her happiness . . . . and he didn't really care about his own feelings. He sighed heavily as he continued to drive.

            All the way to home, both Lena and Daichi stayed silent. They were both preoccupied with their own thoughts regarding their pre-arranged marriage. Somehow they were both thinking that maybe . . . . maybe . . . . they were really destined to be together.
