THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Fixing his tie while looking at his own reflection in the mirror, Jisung let out a breath he held in, a little nervous about his plans for later, trying to pick up the confidence he had.

Today is February 14, also known as Valentine's Day, the day you show your affection towards your lover, or even family and friends. Couples will go on dates, people with crushes confess... and that's what Jisung is going to do today.

Confess.

To the one and only Kim Bae Eun which made him lose his paces in life and the calmness he built throughout the years.

This decision took him days and nights to make, he almost lost his sleep too. He was worried, what if she rejects his love? What if she doesn't like him back? What if...

What if, she already had someone else she likes?

Taking another few deep breaths, Jisung finally stabled down, no longer that nervous like before.

"Ayo Jisung, what you doing?"

Through the reflections in the mirror, Jisung caught sight of Chan entering the restroom. The younger playfully placed his arm on Jisung's shoulder, looking into the mirror like how Jisung did.

"You look tense, did anything happen?" Chan asked in a jokingly manner, before his face turned into a meme-worthy face, "Or you have plans for today? Confess? Date? Hmmm??" He nudged Jisung's arm, and the latter just returned a flustered punch on his abdomen, a strong one.

Chan let out a dramatic gasp before collapsing into the floor while having his hand on his abdomen with his bad acting skills, "Hyung, how could you...!" He clutched his heart and faked a tear.

Jisung rolled his eyes.

"It's nothing too special, mind your own business..." He trailed off, suddenly remembering something. A sly smile made its way to his face, "Yura, right, Yura. What about her? Any plans?"

"What plans? Why are you even mentioning her." Chan stood up and patted off the dirt on his pants, now regretting about his act from earlier. "Ugh, this is gonna be hard to clean."

Jisung knew that Chan would attempt to change the topic, or act like he doesn't know what he meant.

"I know you like her, Chan."

"What? Nooo! No way I'll like someone like her...." Chan immediately reacted upon hearing Jisung, protesting until he met eyes with the man in front him.

"Fine, am I that obvious?" Chan sighed, taking down his arms from mid-air that he held up in surrender.

"You always mess around with her and spend time with her. You two are basically next to each other everyday in here. Every time she needs help, you're the first that volunteers, like last time when she got drunk... You are that obvious, Chan." Jisung crossed his arms, listing out all the times where he notices the playful male's affection towards Yura.

"Ughhhh. Fine, but I don't have any plans. I don't plan on confessing to her, I like our current relationship the way it is." Chan turned on the tap and washed his face with the running, cold water.

"Why?"

Chan flicked the tap close, brushing his hand through his hair, feeling more refreshed and clean in the mind than earlier.

Something was bugging him ever since the day started, when he woke up and realized that today is February 14, Valentine's Day. It felt a little annoying and frustrating, to be honest, having something that kept his mind occupied, yet it was a really abstract one, he doesn't even know what is the thing bothering him, to be honest.

He looked at Jisung in the eyes through the reflection, Jisung is looking at him too.

He then smiled softly in defeat, gazes falling, no longer facing the mirror, thinking as he might as well trust Jisung with his little worries.

"I don't want our relationship to change, hyung. How we get get along with each other, sometimes when we fight and joke around, how we spend the time we had together, I want it the way it is now... I am afraid that things would no longer be the same if I express my feelings."

And that hit Jisung.

Hard, on his mind.

Jisung went silent for awhile before opening his mouth again, "Just..." he paused for awhile, thinking about what to say, what term to use, the way to say, what that can actually help his friend.

"Think carefully."

And then he left the restroom, knowing well that he should give Chan some time and space alone.

He, himself, needs some time alone too, to do more thinking on his decisions.

••• •••

Yoon Jisung soon found himself gazing directly at the sky, the brightness feels like nothing to his eyes as his mind is all-focused on other things rather than actually admiring the broad sky.

He stood at the mini sky garden of the company, leaning on the wall, in front him is the beautiful scenery of the city. The cool air blew on him, and he shivered a little at the contact, it is still winter, spring is half a month ahead, the weather is still chilly. The clothe he had did zero justice to his current situation, just a thin layer of button-up and blazer to keep his warmth... he is basically freezing, yet he refused to enter the office.

Not before he sorts out at least a bit of his thoughts.

Taking a few blinks to wet his eyes, his attention was soon taking over by two birds as his sight was refocusing.

Jisung chuckled soullessly as he lowered his head.

"Even birds are flying around as a couple."

After what felt like a minute or two, he felt a vibration from his phone.

❇

bae_eun03  Today is cold, so here's a cup of coffee to keep us warm! Don't catch a cold, take good care of yourself!

❇

He smiled after reading what's in his phone, sticking his hands into the pockets of his suit pants along with his phone, trying to warm up himself a little.

"I should just go with the flow."

"Let's just leave it up to my fate."
