16. Confessions (part 2)

"Namjoon, stop being a f**ing brat and pick up your f**ing phone!"

She hung up and let out a frustrated scream. Was he for real? Storming out of her house after confessing his love to her? Ignoring her calls? Ignoring her text messages? WAS HE FOR REAL?!

She paced in her living room, trying to think about everything that had just happened.

She couldn't believe herself! She had just spaced out in the middle of a love confession.

That was a first, even for her.

I mean, how dumb can I be? What the f** Nari?!

Where was he? What did she miss? Why did he act this way? She was going crazy here! At that moment, her phone buzzed in her hand and she checked it out, thinking it was Namjoon calling back, but no. It was Seokjin. He sent her a text saying that he was in front of her house. She really didn't have time to deal with him right now, and she was going to tell him that.

When she opened her front door, he was just standing there, looking tired, with messy hair, dark eyes on her, smiling adorably, tall and lean... In other words, hot as f*** even dressed in dark grey jeans and a pink hoodie. She sighed and took a few steps closer to him. Ok, he was hot but right now, the only man she wanted was Namjoon.

"Is it about work?" She asked as calmly as possible.

"No, it's not."

"Then you can-"

"It won't take long, I just need you to listen."

She considered turning him down, but it seemed important. Plus, she was curious. Why would he visit her without even calling first if it wasn't about work? Also, he didn't seem as playful as usual.

"Let's go inside, then?"

"No, I'm fine here."

"Well I'm not-"

"Just listen."

She nodded and crossed her arms on her chest, waiting. He sighed and looked down.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" He asked, hesitantly.

She nodded, but since he wasn't looking at her, she said "I do. You had just transferred and you were assigned the case I was working on."

"Yeah, the husband who killed his wife because she cheated... A classic."

"Isn't it sad how common it is for married couples to kill each other?"

"Right? It's scary, too."

"Anyway, I'm sure you didn't come all the way here to talk about that."

"No, I came here to tell you how I feel."

"Oh." She simply said while trying to control her heartbeat. Surely it wasn't what she thought it was, right? Two confessions in one day? Damn!

He had a small smile, then continued "I'm sure you might have realized by now that I'm interested in you romantically."

"Y-you are?"

"You couldn't tell with all the flirting?"

"I thought you were just teasing me," She said with a nervous laugh.

He grinned and ran his fingers through his already messy hair.

"Well, I wasn't. I fell for you. Hard. Unfortunately, I realized it too late."

There was a silence as Nari was trying to wrap her head around what Jin had just said. Once again, she was at a loss for words.

A few months ago, she would have been delighted to hear those words from him because she had been crushing on him.
