Typical

Chapter 33

JIHAE's POV

"... and this cute mochi guy bought me cheesecake and... Yah, Lee Jihae!"

I snapped back to the reality when Mijoo called me. "Hm, yes?"

"Are you even listening?"

"Yeah, yeah. That mochi guy was handsome and cute and blabla."

"Are you okay, Jihae?" She suddenly asked.

"Of course I am."

"Why are you blanking out?" She asked, but then she smirked. "Oh, you're thinking about Jaewoo oppa, aren't you?"

I raised my eyebrow. "Why would I think of Jaewoo, Mijoo?"

"Because he was your old crush and he just came back from Australia after 5 years he didn't appear."

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Yah, that was a long time ago."

She lifted her shoulders. "Well, who knows?"

I muted myself for a while before suddenly asked Mijoo. "Mijoo-yah, can I ask you something?"

"About Jaewoo?"

I smacked her arm. "Yah, I'm serious."

"Alright, alright. What is it?"

"Is it okay for someone to still love their ex lover?"

"Why? Do you actually have an ex boyfriend?"

"That's not important right now. What matters is, is it okay?"

"Some people say that getting back to your ex lover is just the same as reading a book twice, you just have the same ending," she said. "But for me, I believe that if two people broke up with a misunderstanding between them and both of them want to give it another try, which means they try to fix their mistakes and bad habits, I guess it's actually okay to get back to your ex lover."

I giggled as I cringed to see Mijoo's mature side. "Aigho, uri Mijoo is actually wise, isn't she?"

"Yah! You said that you need an answer, now you're making fun of me," she said as she pouted.

I chuckled. "I'm joking, Mijoo-yah."

She rolled her eyes, but giggled at the same time. "So, who is this ex boyfriend we're talking about?"

"Even if I tell you, you won't know him."

"Just tell me the name."

"Fine. His name is Kim Taehyung."

I saw Mijoo raising her eyebrow and I heard her muttering, "Kim Taehyung? Why do I feel like I've heard that name before?"

"You're okay, Mijoo?"

"Ah, yes, of course."

Flashback mode: on

Taehyung ruffled his hair as he looked so frustrated. Aigho, how I had missed that fluffy hair. I really wanted to touch those though.

He took a deep breathe and said, "Anyways, it's not that I was pissed by the fact that Jimin liked Hyemin. I swear, I didn't like Hyemin and I already loved you."

I swore my heart almost stopped when he said that he had already loved me. Gosh, why was I being like this?

I missed how he used to say 'I love you' every single time when we were together.

"Stop right there," I said while my heart were still pounding really hard.

"Why?"

"Please wait for a moment."

I took a deep breathe as I closed my eyes before I looked at the ground.

"I already loved you."

Did it mean that he... didn't love me anymore? Did it mean that his love for me had already gone?

Great, Jihae. You made him waited for so long until he didn't love you anymore.

After I calmed myself, I said, "Okay, please continue."

He looked at me worriedly. I MISSED THAT WORRIED STARE.

"Are you okay?"

I took a deep breathe once again.

Taehyung-ah, was there still a chance for me to think about us? To love you again? And for us to get back together?

"Yeah, yeah. Of course. Please continue."

After a few minutes he explained the reason why he became rude, he suddenly stood up, which made me also stood up.

He suddenly reached out for my hands and he held both of it. How grateful I was since my cheeks weren't easily became red when I blushed. I swore I could hear my own heart beating inside my chest.

When he kept saying he was sorry, I couldn't help but staring at his beautiful face. His eyes that I used to lock my eyes with, his nose that used to smell me everytime I got out from the bathroom, his lips that used to kiss me, his eyebrows that were so beautiful, his cheeks that I used to pinch, and his ears that used to hear my numerous stories and complaints.

I missed how we held hands like this.

After that, I realized how awkward this situation was and I didn't want to hold hands with him any longer because it made me missed him even more.

"Let me take you home."

Just a small action like that moved my heart. It was nice to see him being so kind and sweet, like when we started dating. But no matter how many times I said I had hated him and I had been really angry at him, it seemed like I hadn't lost my interest to him.

I still love you, Kim Taehyung.
