Jeongin's POV

"Jeongin, are you sure you're okay? He didn't hurt you while touching you right? I swear, if he even made a little scratch on you, we're going to the hospital." Chan says as he frantically pats me all over to see if I have any injuries.

I give a small smile. "Channie, I feel fine. It's okay. You don't have to freak out."

"What do you mean I don't have to freak out? Of course I would freak out, especially when he touched you!" He says sternly to me.

"That reminds me, even though we tell each other everything, how come you've never told me you have an identical twin?" I ask with curiosity.

He stays quiet for a moment. Takes a deep breath, as if he feels anxious about what he's going to tell me.

"I did something terrible to him back when we were kids and he hasn't forgiven me ever since. I can't blame him though, I practically ruined his whole entire life. He has every right to hate me."

After he was finished, he pulled me into his chest and whispered with gentleness yet with a hint of concern.

"Please promise me something..." his voice fades as the sentence goes on.

"Promise what Channie? Are you okay?" I ask genuinely worried for my senior.

"Will you promise or not!?" His voice gets abruptly louder.

I jolt a bit from the sudden increase in his voice. I've never seen Channie act like this before. "Y-yes I promise."

"Thank you...please whatever you do, stay away from Chris as far as possible. Especially avoid being in the same room as him when I'm not there. He's dangerous Jeongin. I don't know what I would do if he..." his voices fades once again and I can hear sniffles from him.

Momentarily, I felt a wet substance come into contact with my cheek, roll down and got into the inner corner of my mouth where It had a salty taste to it.

I tilt my head up to see Chan with a light-pink tint at the tip of his nose,  his eyes getting a little puffy, yet they're glistening from the tears.

I've never seen him cry before. He's always been so cheerful and optimistic. I felt like my heart was going to shatter if I witness him in this state any longer.

I frown and without thinking, I pushed down onto him, making him fall and land on his backside.

Chan's POV

There I am, lying on my back, I had just gotten pushed down by my crush and he's on top on of me,  sitting on my stomach. Thank god he didn't sit lower on me.

I intentionally bit my tongue to see if I would wake up in case if this is all a dream. It wasn't. Never in my life, ever have seen Jeongin not only do this to me or anyone in fact. He's too pure to do something like this.

That's when I see him making an angry expression. The corners of his lips were pointing downwards slightly and his eyebrows were furrowing.

"Stop it! Stop it now!" He shouts. While looking down but I can't see his eyes, due to his long bangs.

Wait, is he crying? I couldn't tell. He isn't making any weeping sounds but could he be silent crying?

Soon later my questions were answered when I felt his wet tears go pitter-patter onto the cloth that I was wearing.

"Jeongin..." I slowly bring my hand up to his face at eye level and gently brush his hair away so that I can see his tear-stained face clearly. Then I gracefully rest my hand onto then side of his warm left cheek.

He can't stop. Tears keep falling from his eyes. Ones falling almost immediately after another.

"Channie...I can't take it anymore..." he manages to speak through his hiccups which I find to be the most adorable thing ever.

"You can't take what Jeonginnie?" I question.

"Whenever you cry...hic! I d-dont know what came o-over me, but I can't help but cry! Hic!" He hiccups through more tears falling down.

Ugh I think I just busted the biggest, fattest uwu in my entire life. Without having much thought,  I blurted out the words that I've been keeping to myself for such a long time

"God I love you."

He doesn't say anything back nor does anything to signify any sort of emotion he's feeling.

Oh shoot. I shouldn't have said that. I wasn't ready to tell him this. Have I made the situation worse than it already is?!

Not too long after though, I can see a soft, sweet, small smile show upon his face.

He comes down onto me and buries his face into the crook of my neck and I can feel his hot breath while he's giggle close to me.

"I love you too Channie." He whispers into my ear.

My eyes widen at those words that I just heard coming from Jeongin's mouth. I know this isn't a dream but it seriously felt like one. After all this time, who'd know accidentally confessing would be the greatest decision I ever made?

I ponder in my mind whether or not I should ask him the futile question. I know I promised myself to wait for him but I just can't take it anymore.

I need that confirmation. I need to know that he's mine and I'm his. All these strong feelings for Jeongin, I just can't control them anymore. Yes it's going to be cliche. Having a senior date a freshman. But, in some cases, aren't cliches kind of cute?

I make up my decision. YOLO. Or at least that's what my friends say. "Innie, will you go out with-" before I can finish he speaks again.

"I'll always love you Channie. You'll always be my best friend." He says with cheerfulness.

I didn't bother to finish my sentence. I see it now. Now it all makes sense. Of course, what was I thinking? He has a crush on Hyunjin and that's the only person who he wants to be with. I'll never be more than just a best friend to him.
