Crushing || Kang Taehyun

Part 18

I plopped myself on my bed.

Am I that desperate for a girl?

I ruffled my hair.

Ding!

I unlocked my phone after noticing a nee message I received.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

From: Jung Chaeyon

I forgot to asked you earlier since you're not that important but have you gotten home? If yes then goodnight. If no then, go home.

∆∆∆∆∆∆∆

I laughed as I finished reading the text.

How cute.

That night, my mind was filled with the thought of Chaeyon. Then, I realised.

Oh- shit. Am I falling for her now?

∆∆∆∆∆

"GOTCHA!" I grabbed the hem of Seungmin's shirt, holding him back from running away.

"What got?" Seungmin asked, acting stupid.

"I finally caught you. You've been avoiding me for so long. Let us talk for a while" Seungmin sighed before placing himself down on the bench on the rooftop.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked me before looking down, I'm not sure if he's shy or something but he doesn't looks like he is shy.

"About you. Care to explain why you've been avoiding me?" I decide to stay standing up instead of sitting on the same bench as Seungmin sat. I don't want to make him felt uncomfortable.

"I wasn't? I'm just busy"

"But you were out with Chaeyon this evening--"

"Wait! Don't tell me that you are going out with each other!" Seungmin quickly shakes his head, shaking it hard that his head may fall off at any moment.

"N-No!" He denies it. But I could clearly see the tint of red shade covering his ears.

Guess his ears is more honest than himself.

"So, You like her?" I wiggled both sides of my eyebrows, giving him the teasing looks.

Seungmin seems hesitated for a while before he sighed and confronted me.

"Hwayoung, the reason why I was avoiding you is because I was embarrassed maybe afraid to confront you this whole time. I confessed to you before and I realised that I'm burdening you with my confession ---"

I cut his words off "Wait- what? You wasn't--"

And he cuts me back "Shut up, let me finish this off, stupid"

"It's true that I liked you. But I guess, let's put this to the end. I wouldn't want to wait for your respond to my confession because I know who your heart's belongs to. Don't deny it. I'm sorry it took so long for me to say this, I'm sorry"

He look down after finishing his words. Truthfully, his words touched my heart. It's true that I can't reply his feelings towards me the same way, and I'm glad he said that before I do.
