× Chapter 7 - Flustered ×

Your enthusiastic smile; it makes others smile too.

There was something mesmerising about you- and I couldn't figure it out.

I just liked you, for who you were and not someone else.

That night I dug myself under the covers.

"It's okay, I just confessed and nothing bad will happen. Calm down." I told myself.

As I hopped onto KLtalk my hands were practically shaking. Would he message me about the confession? What would he say? But the first person to text me was Sonny.

"Dude why did you ask Jinyoung if i had told him about you liking him?" he texted. "Do you not trust me?"

Ahh. So it was about the situation today. I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"it was just so I could bring the topic up to tell him." I replied back. "So that I couldn't randomly say 'I like you'. Of course I trust you."

"Lmao ok," he texted again. "Well he told me about it..."

Oh of course he would know. After I went home, Jinyoung must had been looking for help on what to think. I didn't wanna know anything bad. I knew that something bad would come out of this.

"He was shocked I guess...he's someone who has never been confessed to before," he texted. "The rest it's up to you to decide."

"I know," I texted back. "I understand."

I got a notification from Jinyoung.

"Are you eating really healthy?" he asked. He was literally the healthiest person on earth; he didn't eat maccas- unless it was to put on weight. But why on earth was e asking me this after I had just confessed? Was he doing my tactic of discussing a topic to move onto my confession?

"yeah," I texted. I had not much to say. He then texted me right after.

"What do you like about me? 

"oh um," i texted.

"Everything - I like you because you're you," I wrote. Instead of sending him it as a message, I sent it as a photo message in case he would show everyone it. It wasn't because I didn't trust him- but I was scared it would be leaked. He sent a blush face back. I photo messaged him again.

"So...um," I started off. "So do you maybe like me?"

Oh no. Why would I send that? That was the most awkward question...

"Lol," he texted. "I think we need to talk more first. Or else it's kinda weird."

I agreed with him on that statement. It was the most important thing- to talk more in real life and... alone. I shouldn't have rushed it. We had hardly talked together often and the only times were after school. Unlike Youjung, she had someone who would look for her like a crazy cat and mouse game but Jinyoung was different. He had less and no experience in possibly liking someone. If I had more time, I would have saved my confession. But it wasn't clear. Was he rejecting me? Or giving us a chance?

"I'm glad you told me though," he added. "Talk to you later I have tennis now."

"Why?" I asked.

"^^ So then i will understand and talk more." He soon left the chat and I fell right asleep.

For days, we had talked like best friends in real life and on online. We talked about food, specialties and similarities. I couldn't exactly say he had rejected me, as he didn't say anything about it. At least reject me, I thought. Or say something!

He started asking me about my type and what I found in a guy. He 'ticked off' the things I said about what I found in a guy. I finally brought up the nerves to ask him.

"Do you like someone?" I wrote. Why are you asking all this lol?"

"I'm just seeing if I'm right for you," he added back. "Nvm nvm nvm nvm nvm."

I felt like it was time I needed a clear answer.

"It's probably too awkward for you, we can stick to close friends," I texted. 

"Wait wait," he texted right away. "Wait wait. Do you still like me?"
