20. Confession

'I do,' I looked up at him confused. What does he mean 'he does'?

'I know what love feels like,' Jisung said. I looked at him confused waiting for him to continue.

'You,' he began, hesitating if he should continue but in the end he did. 'You don't really love Yangyang, do you?' he asked carefully.

Even though I hadn't told him, he had realised the truth. I slowly nodded. He took a deep breath and looked down. 'I like you,'

My eyes widened. Was he saying the truth? 'I like you, Y/N and I know it's wrong because you have a mate but I feel something and I don't know what it is,'

He looked up at me and I saw the sincerity in his eyes. I didn't know what to say or do.

'But...you can't- I mean, you're not my mate...'

'Exactly!'

I thought about it. Yangyang who claimed to be my mate loved me and I was supposed to love him back. Then, out of nowhere, Jisung likes me? And I'm left in confusion. Was Yangyang even my mate?

I gasped bringing Jisung's attention to me. 'What if,' I sighed, I didn't want to believe it, 'What if Yangyang...isn't my mate?'

I looked over to Jisung. 'what do you mean?' he asked in confusion.

'I mean, I don't love Yangyang and you're supposed to love your mate,' I said. 'What if he's just pretending to be my mate,' while I said that I realised something.

'Why would he do that, though?' asked Jisung like he read my mind. 'That's what I'm thinking,'

'Wait, Y/N,' I looked over at Jisung. 'I know this is getting really cringe but you're supposed to love your mate, right?' I nodded.

'Well, I...love you...'

My mouth opened in shock and realisation. 'Are you saying...we could be mates?' I asked. He nodded.

I looked down and shook my head. I wasn't ready for this. My mind wasn't stable. 'We should talk about this with Yangyang himself,' I said and looked back up at him.

'Jisung, I don't want to deal with this right now,'

He nodded and understood. 'Well, since we're with each other now, should we do something like we used to?' he asked, a cheeky smile creeping up on his face.

'Like, play video games and eat ice cream?' I asked, also trying to cheer up and get back into the swing of things.

He nodded and we both chuckled. 'Let's go, but first wash your face, it looks like you've been crying,' he pointed out.

'Maybe because I have been crying,' I sarcastically said and walked over to the washroom to rinse my face with cold water.

After that, we walked back downstairs and grabbed some ice cream to eat before setting up our favourite video game. It felt like old times.

We had fun just like we used to and forgot about all the troubles and pain. I wish life was like that. You could just forget everything troubling you but it was never going to be like that.

I still needed to sort my life out. I couldn't be living with someone who claims to be my life partner and I don't even love them.

But, for now, I just enjoyed my time with Jisung. Slowly, falling for him myself.

I'm sorry this is short, I'm having writer's block and it SUCKS.
