Hotel room

I'm done cleaning myself, exit the bathroom walking towards my bed.

"What do you think about Mark??" I see her laying while staring at me

"What do you mean??"

"Don't you have feelings towards him? Maybe a little???" She sit up and making a tiny gasp with her thumb and index finger

"I don't know."

"Areum. How long you gonna be like this?? Open your heart for someone who love you. I see he interested in you. Give him a chance." She sit beside me and place her hands on my shoulder

'Mark likes me?? Is it true?? But I don't my true feelings. Am I like him too??'

***

We finally back to Seoul and today is school day. I'm walking through the busy street while thinking about Momo's words

"I see he interested in you. Give him a chance."

'I don't know my own feelings. Should I accept him when he confess??'

"Boooo!" A voice surprise me make me jump from my spot

"Yahh!" I shout when I see Wonwoo grin stupidly at me

"You almost make my heart stop beating!"

"Sorry~"

"I miss you~"

"Stop joking Wonwoo." I said as I walk ahead towards my class

"I'm not joking. Hey." He stop me and stand in front of me

"When will you open your heart for me?? You know I like you Areum. Give me a place to fit in your heart. I promise I'll protect you and love you with all of my heart." He hold my shoulder, staring deeply into my eyes

'What should I do??? Should I accept him?? Then what about Mark?? No no. Mark didn't confess that he likes me. What should I dooo?!?!?!' I feel my brain going to explode just because thinking about this

"L...let me think first. Ok??" I ask him as I hold his hand which is on my shoulder

***

"What should I do?? Must I accept him?? Or...  Urghhh! I don't know! Did I like him??? What is my true feelings??? Why I'm so stupid?!" I groan and mess my hair

I decide to sit alone in the school rooftop. This is my place when I have a problem or I want to think about something.

"Calm down Areum." I turned my head, looking towards the door

"What are you doing here??" I ask Jinyoung who is walking towards me

"Can I sit here??"

Instead of answering him, I look away. Avoiding his gaze

"You can tell me if you have any problem. I'm ready to lean my ear." He sit beside me and giving me a warm smile

"You heard everything don't you?"

"A little. So who is confessed to you??"

"Wonwoo." I said as I staring at the floor

"Did you accept him??"

"I said I'll think about it. I don't know Jinyoung. I don't know my own feelings."

"When you with him, did your heart beating faster??" I shook my head

"Did you feel something in your stomach when he doing something or talking romantic to you??" I shook my head

"Then you are not have a feeling towards him. Areum, do you like someone else??" He ask

"Someone else?? I don't know."

"Hm. I see. Don't think too much. Just said that you just want to be friend with him." I look at him

"But I'm scared that I'll hurt him."

"Nah. He will understand." He smile warmly at me

"Thank you Jinyoung." I smile

We stand up from the floor. It's a short silent when I decide to talk again

"C..can I hug y...you??"

'I don't know why, but I feel like I want to be in his embrace, feeling his warmness like I used to feel before.'

"Sure." He said with a smile as he open his arms for me to hug him

Without hesitation, I hug him tight like this is our last hug. I let my ear lean towards his chest, hearing his calm heart beating while he place his chin on my head.

"I miss you Areum. We miss you. The maknaes miss you. A lot." He said in slow tone

"I...I miss you too. You all and the maknaes. I'm sorry." I feel my eyes fill with a warm tears and just in second they running down my cheeks, making his uniform wet with my tears.

"Hey. Don't cry. We understand. It's not your fault." He release the hug and hold my cheeks between his hands and wipe my tears with his thumbs

"So.... is this meaning my old Areum Hye is back again??" He said while lifting his both eyebrows

"When did I leave you??" I try to make innocent face but few second later we burst into laughter

"I'm glad that you're back." He pull me to another hug, but this time is a Welcome hug.
