silence. that was the only thing filling the white room. it was an eerie silence, the three of us were frozen.
jisung..........you're the cause of my hanahaki disease.
this sentence hung weakly between us.
"s-so i'm the reason you're like this?" jisung whispered as his voice cracked, breaking the terrifying silence.
"i'm getting bad memories just from those words." yeonghwa said as she suddenly stands. "i'm going to leave now so you two can talk this out."
i shot my eyes to her and silently pleaded, but of course she leaves before i actually have a chance to say something to her.
now it's just an awkward silence hanging in the room.
"please tell me, tell me you're lying." the boy whispered.
"i wish this could be a lie, but it's not and i'm sorry." i whispered back.
tears were starting to form in my eyes, i couldn't handle this anymore, looking at the boy now in front of me breaking apart.
"why didn't you tell me? why did you keep this from me? i could've helped you, i could've been there for you. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE HURTING BECAUSE OF ME?" he says as his voice gets louder and is filled with sorrow.
i couldn't even look at him, my heart was beating out of my chest, fear and guilt were rushing through my veins, my breathing was becoming harsh.
"i-i'm sorry, i didn't want to hurt you." i say, my voice barely a whisper anymore.
"WE COULD'VE AVOIDED ALL OF THIS!" he yells with frustration evident in his voice.
"jisung please stop yelling, it's going to make this worse." i cried, tears were running down my face like a rushing waterfall.
"we-we could have avoided all of this if you would have told me, things could've been different." he says with tears also falling down his face.
"how? how would've this been different? jisung, there's not much to do when curing this damn disease." i say.
"gina, there's so much that could have been different." he says.
"jisung, i don't think that anything cou-" i started but was quickly cut off.
my eyes widened at the situation, but soon responded to his actions. it was a small kiss, nothing to extreme, but enough to shut me up.
"that, that's what could've been different." he says once he pulled away.
"t-that's...... uh..... o-okay." i say, mind still processing the whole situation now.
jisung let out a small laugh, and god his laugh is a blessing.
"i uh w-what does this mean?" i asked.
"you idiot, this means that i reciprocate your feelings, i like you too." he says with an eye roll.
i lightly hit the boy as he laughed at me.
"nevermind, i don't like you." i say with a playful pout.
"ah, no you can't say that now." he says as he pulls me towards him.
"wait, so this means that i'm okay? i-i don't have this disease anymore, right?" i asked.
"wow, you don't know anything." he says with a small laugh.
"HEY! i've been through a lot, so don't judge me." i say as i tried to move away from him.
"nope, you can't leave me, you're mine now." he says as he holds onto me tighter.
my breathing stopped and my heart was pounding against my chest even harder. i slowly looked up at jisung and let a small smile appear on my face.
right there and then i knew, everything is going to be okay.
