호시
I'm contented. Yeah.
But everything's still awkward.

I stare down at my pint of ice cream.
It's still a quarter way filled so I still have a long way to go before one of us should break the silence.

You're still eating too.
So I'm not that nervous yet.

But, my ice cream is starting to melt.

And melted ice cream isn't as good as when it's solid. I should finish it up quick, before it turns into a warm milkshake.

The atmosphere is so awkward though!
I won't have anything else to do but sit there after I fin-

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" You suddenly speak.

I jump a little at your voice.

I bowed down my head lower and peered deeper into my cup of melting ice cream.

"I just... r-really like him."

우지
I feel my heart constrict at that sentence. I flinch but you don't see.

I hold onto my container of ice cream. It has been empty for a few minutes now.

I was kind of pretending I was still eating so you would have your space for a while more.

I wanted to ask you the question ever since we arrived at your house, but something was trying to stop me.

A voice in my head was worried for you, and another was worried for me.

"I can tell," I choke out.

A few seconds pass by in strange silence.

And then I say, "Tell me. Everything. You know, you can talk to me, Soonyoung."
