"Is something wrong?" Junhoe asks and I don't know if I should be annoyed or disappointed or all of those things at once. I mean, isn't it obvious for him? Do I have to spoonfeed the answer for him to understand??

"Nothing."

"I know it's not nothing."

Before I know it, the words are already slipping out of my lips. "You figure it out."

I want to take it back but I know at this point it's already too late. I don't want us to fight, okay?

Something shifts on his eyes. He's taken aback at my answer and frankly at this point, I don't care what he feels right now.

Whatever. I'm seriously... urgh.

"You go do what you want. I'm going home."

For a moment, I thought I saw Junhoe panic but then I guess it's just my imagination working because I swear, if there is a contest for the best pokerface around, he'd win for sure. It doesn't matter anymore because the moment I leave him alone, this discussion is as good as dead.

Three hours ago...

"Chaeyoung?" Junhoe stopped walking. He spoke in a tone that urged me to tell him what was wrong. It only meant that he noticed me acting odd.

I hesitated voicing out my thoughts, thoughts that were bugging me the moment I agreed to meet his cousin. I know that if I did, he'd just say something supportive.

"I dunno. I mean, this family gathering... don't you think it's something I shouldn't be invited to?"

Junhoe assessed what he was going to say carefully, going around the topic like a wrong word from him will completely discourage me from coming at all. Maybe it would. Maybe it wouldn't. But one thing's for sure; I was so nervous I feel my knees turning jelly.

Okay, I'm cool with his parents but his cousin? It's like meeting the parents all over again. What if this cousin doesn't like me? What if I say something wrong and offend her without meaning to?

Apparently, this cousin is the closest to him and even though they're not blood-related (she is an adoptive daughter of his aunt), they treat each other like siblings, or so Junhoe said.

Ugh. Can I just pretend I have to go somewhere else?

"Relax," Junhoe said, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. "My cousin will love you."

I smiled just so that he'll feel comforted (even though I needed that more). There wasn't much room for backing out since we were already in front of their doorstep.
