Room 709 (Jeon Wonwoo au fanfiction)

9-I love you and you should know your neighbours by now

Alex's pov

"I love you."

"You what?"

I think my body stopped working. Even if I wanted I couldn't move. Everything seems so surreal right now, I can't even process what he just said, or at least what I believe he just said.

"I said...that I'm in love with you." Wonwoo repeated.

"...you mean as friends right?" I mentally facepalmed. I can't believe I just said that! I think Wonwoo is just as confused as me.

"What? No! Don't you understand what I just said?"

"I know what you said! I just don't think I can understand why you said it!"

"Alex listen-"

"Did you thought that maybe it's just a crush that will go away eventually? Or you're saying that 'cause we spend so much time together? Besides, you know this never ends well! This is not some sappy fairytale where the main characters actually end up together and nothing goes absolutely wrong! There are so many possibilities of this becoming a complete train wreck. I don't want-"

"Alex! That's enough!" Wonwoo interrupted my rant and grabbed my shoulders.

"I just...need to know it's possible that two people can stay happy together forever." I let out, looking at my shoes. Wonwoo sighed.

"Look...I can't promise you that it's going to be as easy as they make it look on books and movies. What I can promise is that I'm going to do everything I can to make sure this doesn't end badly for the both of us. And yes it is possible for two people to stay happy together, but I can't do that on my own. I need to know you're going to help me too."

"What if I fuck up?"

"Then I'll make sure that we can fix whatever it is." 

"...can you say it again?"

"What?"

"That you...you know."

"That I love you?"

"Yeah, that. It amazes me how you can say that so easily." I told, finally able to meet his gaze.

"Well, 'cause it's true. This is the part where I should list all the reasons why I love you and describe how beautiful I actually think you are, but I don't know how to do it! I don't know how to make up pretty sentences. Mingyu and Coups tried to teach me a few but I forgot all of them by now. I wanna make you mine but that's hard to say. Is this coming off in a cheesy way?"

"Slightly, yes! But then again, everything about this is supposed to be cheesy...By the way, Coups?"

"Oh, that's a nickname for Seungcheol. But anyways...what do you think?"

"Think about what?" 

"Why are you doing this to me?" Wonwoo groaned.

" 'Cause it's fun. Now, you were saying?"

"How many times are you going to make me repeat it? I love you, you devious little shit."

"You sure?"

"Yes!"

"Alright! That's all I need to know."

"So...Does that mean we're dating or just gonna force me to beg for an answer?"

"I think you've suffered enough for now. But to answer your question, yes we are...I mean that is if it's alright with you?"

"It's completely fine by me."
