Part 22

I saw Nora and Daewhi chatting under the tree when I reached there.

"Sorry I came late." I said after I regained my breadth. Nora nudged me and I looked at her. She looked at my hand and I did the same. I mentally cursed myself for I forgot to give back the umbrella.

"Ahem" Daewhi cleared his throat breaking my thoughts. "What do you want to ask?"

Me and Nora stepped forward which made Daewhi to backward himself. We continued stepping forward and Daewhi too continued moving back until his back touched the tree. He gulped and I could see fear in his eyes.

"Daewhi I want you to tell me the truth. Alright?" I said with calm voice and Daewhi slightly nodded. Nora asked, "If you don't say the truth then remember I a black belt 2 turn in taekwondo and Amber is black belt 1 turn."

I could see him shaking with fear as Nora said it. Poor Daewhi I feel bad for him but still I'll have to do this.

"So Daewhi, you know I chat with Sunbae, don't you?"

"I k-know."

"Then tell me who is he?" I showed him my puppy eyes. No one can resist these puppy eyes. He looked at me as if he was thinking about it.

"Please tell me. I cannot think anything because of him. I'm always thinking who this Sunbae is. I..I will turn mad if I continue doing this. I want to know who he is in order to ... in order to settled down my feelings. I .. I.. I.. don't even know if I will continue liking him which I don't want to happen. Daewhi, I've started liking Sunbae and ... I like Jinyoung Sunbae too. I don't want to continue being like this. Please"

I was shocked at my own words and my voice sounded so hurt I looked at Daewhi and Nora and they were shocked too because of my outburst. I could tell Nora and Daewhi felt bad for me. I looked at Daewhi and he no more seemed to be scared anymore.

"Amber."

"Daewhi... please. Only Sunbae knows who I am but I don't know anything about him. He can recognize me but I can't. I don't know why Sunbae is not telling me this. He might have his own reason but still he can at least try. Whenever I'm going to sleep after chatting with him, there is this feeling that Sunbae is just playing around with me and he doesn't like me. I know he likes me but I cannot help but think this way. I also want to know him. I .. I want to fall in love with him. I want to know him better. I want to hold him, hug him and even kiss him. I want to cud-"

I was cut off as I was harshly spun around and kissed. I heard Nora saying "OH MY GOD!!" and Daewhi saying "Hyung!"I was so shocked that I not think of anything. The person who was kissing me had wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against his chest. I tried pushing him but he was too strong. He lightened his grip on me. He then stopped kissing me and placed his forehead on mine. Then I saw his face.

"Ji-Jin-Jinyoung Sunbae." I whispered his name as I could not believe it.

"Amber, I'm sorry for not telling you anything about me. I thought fun seeing you crushing on me but I didn't know that it was getting hard for you. If I knew this would happen, I would have told you sooner. I'm sorry. Amber, I am the Sunbae you are searching for and .." He stared at my eyes as he slightly smiled. "I like you a lot."

I stared at his face as I repeated the things he told me in my mind. I lowered my head as tears started rolling down my cheeks. I faced him with my teary eyes which shocked him.

He immediately cupped my face and asked, "Amber, Why are you crying?" He wiped my tears with his thumb. I opened my mouth to speak nut nothing came out instead more tears flowed down my cheeks. Even I did not know why I was crying.

"Amber, I'm sorry if you are hurt. I know how angry you are, so slap me if you want, go on." I raised my hand and I could hear someone gasping. When Jinyoung saw my hands being raised, he closed his eyes. With tears flowing down my cheeks, I cupped his face and kissed him hardly like he did to me. He was shocked for a second but he kissed me back. I could hear everyone cheering and Nora saying, "I'm gonna sail this ship forever." and Daewhi agreeing to it.

Jinyoung pecked my lips one more time before he hugged me very tightly. I looked around and saw that everyone was there. Everyone including Daewhi, Nora, Samuel, Seonho, Ewiwoong, Woojin, Jisung, Minhyun, Jihoon, Daniel, Jaehwan, Sungwoo, Seongwoon, Guanlin, Youngmin, Hyungseok, Jonghyun, Minki, Baekho, Seuwoon and Makyeon.

I felt burning because of embarrassment so I buried my face into Jinyoung's chest.

"This is embarrassing."

"Aww.. My jagiya is blushing."

"Shut up!!"

"So cute!"

THE END 😊
