Things went back to normal again, Jihoon explained what had happened to the rest of his friends and they all acted like usual. They all were a little on edge because of the whole psycho and all but Woojin was different, more quiet and less energetic which worried Jihoon.
"Hey, come over to my dorm after school ok?" Jihoon said as they walked to the library.
"I....um..." Woojin stuttered.
"No excuses this time it's not a choice," Jihoon said.
"Ok..I wasn't...nevermind," Woojin sighed as they sat down at the library tables and opened their textbooks to study.
Later as they walked home in silence Jihoon decided to end the weird tension they've been having recently. He suddenly jolted to a stop as they were walking causing Woojin to stop and look back at him.
".....Jihoon?" Woojin said with a confused look.
"Why have you been so quiet lately, I mean I get that I was a jerk and all but I didn't want you to get hurt. You said everything was ok but you are acting like you hate me or something." Jihoon said his face growing red in slight frustration.
"I....I don't hate you Jihoon, I just...I don't know...hate myself?" Woojin said as he bit his lip.
"W...what?" Jihoon said his voice breaking.
"I don't know...it's my fault that Daehwi got hurt...I brought everyone in this mess. I'm such a burden. I sometimes think it would just be better if I weren't even...never mind.." Woojin said quietly.
"Woojin..." Jihoon said speechless for a moment, "Woojin, your not a burden and this is certainly not your fault. You can't help what happened. Like I said before you are so importantly me. It's like...it's like I have this crushing feeling of anxiety and helplessness all the time, but when you are around it just goes away..." Jihoon said.
"I'm sorry..." Woojin said.
"Why are you sorry?...you shouldn't be sorry..." Jihoon said stepping closer to Woojin.
"Woojin..."
"Y..yeah?.."
...I love you"
