I was grinning ear to ear as I towered over Aye-Chan, My arms still wrapped around her body. I did not even think if I was hugging her too tight or maybe I was suffocating her. All that mattered to me was her answer.
I wasn’t even sure how long I was in that position, It felt like forever. What her face looked like behind my shoulders, I did not even bother. My mind was pretty much preoccupied from too much happiness.
But then my mind suddenly registered the words that I let out because of my sudden outburst of happiness.
“I love you.”
Shit. Did I just confess to her now without me realizing it? Was this the reason why her body was so stiff as if it felt like I was hugging a tree?? What do I do??
I panicked. The huge smile on my face slowly faded away and quickly I removed my embrace from her. Shock was clear on Aye-chan’s eyes as she stared up at me, completely surprised by the sudden skin ship I did to her. Her big round eyes were fixated on me. She obviously was glued on the spot where she stood clearly wanting to know why I did that and what I meant with those three words.
Since I got caught up with this situation and had fallen so deep already that there is no way to escape this anymore, I decided to confess. Screw what happens next, I just want to get over it with my feelings and tell her everything.
Just as I was so nervous beyond compare to speak out and having my mouth hanging open for quite a while, a bang on the classroom door was heard.
Everybody turned to see who came in to bother us. Aye-chan wasn’t expecting anyone at this time anymore since everybody she invited was here but how she gasped at the sight of that person made me turn curiously too. I suddenly found myself in a state of shock when the person which I least expected to come and see us in this this situation was standing there fuming in anger at the both of us.
“Joon! You came!” Aye rushed over to him with a bright smile on her face like an obedient puppy. I felt a pang in my heart. She put down my flowers on the window ledge and it made my heart broke into pieces.
He didn't answer his girlfriend but instead his eyes were seriously focused on me. I stared back with a blank look on my face.
“Were you just hugging my girlfriend before I came in???” He blurted out.
He. Saw. Perfect timing Seunghyun.
I groaned. He really was so angry that his nose was flaring and his eyebrows were meeting at the center as I looked on his face. I didn’t even felt terrified of him even though he looked like he was going to pounce on me any minute and punch me on the face hard until I slip into a coma.
“Joon please! Seunghyun just got overwhelmed with something that I told him. He didn’t mean to do that on purpose.” She hang on to his arms in plea.
It hurted so much because ofcourse it wasn’t true.
“Wait a minute! Are you covering up for this guy? What is going on with Aye-chan??? First in the school now here??? What are you playing at???”
He pushed her arms away and shoved her away a little too hard that she almost lost her balance and that made my sight turn dark in an instant. I stepped forward, wanting to avenge Aye but she looked at me with staggering eyes and held a hand up for me to stop, telling me to let her handle this on her own. I halted.
“There is nothing going on with me and Seunghyun!!! Why do you keep thinking of me that way??? How many times do I have to tell you that he is just an acquaintance because of Chaewon??? Aren't I supposed to be the one nagging here because you were not answering my calls when you should know that it was Chaewon’s birthday today???”
