Falling All In You

24th

"I think I like you, Chaeyoung."

Those words rang in Chaeyoung's head for several minutes, until it finally sunk in what it meant. This was all new to her, and she was never told this by anyone before, so she panicked.

And by panic, she meant slamming the door on Jennie's face out of reflex.

Chaeyoung leaned against the closed door, and clutches her chest. Her heart was beating too fast she thought it would jump out of her chest. She stayed like that for a couple of minutes internally debating whether she should come out and apologize to the brunette for slamming the door, or just let things be for now.

She wasn't able to decide when she heard Jennie's car sped away already.

'Damn, Chaeyoung', was what all she could say to herself.

She knew she kind of overreacted at that part, but who could blame her, though? Jennie's the first person who has confessed to her like that. And although she was already seeing the signs, it's still different when the person actually told you what she's feeling towards you.

But what really made her cower was the realization that she doesn't know what she will reply to the girl.

She doesn't know...yet.

Chaeyoung limps straight to her room, and slumps herself on her bed with a sigh. Her phone suddenly beeps inside her pocket, and she fished it out only to find a text message from the brunette.

From: Jennie

I'm sorry.

She groans and tucks her phone under her pillow. What exactly is she sorry for? If anything, she should be the one who's sorry for walking out on her.

Chaeyoung sighs and closes her eyes as she waits for sleep that she knew will never come.

Another sleepless night. Just great.

"Wait- you what??", Joy blurted a little too loud on the other line.

"I kind of...slammed the door on her face?", Chaeyoung bit on her lip.

"Oh, man. That was harsh", Wendy commented, too.

Chaeyoung decided to facetime her two bestfriends that Tuesday morning, and told them what happened last night. She still doesn't know what to do, and she really needs someone to knock some sense in her brain at the moment.

"I know. And I really feel bad", she juts her lip in a pout.

"You should feel bad, Park Chaeyoung", Joy agrees, "I mean, after everything she's done for you."

"I hate to say this, but I'll have to agree with Joy. I was skeptic at first, but when you told us that she fought for you when you got injured, and she carried you all the way to the hospital, and watched the stars with you to complete your camping experience", Wendy sighs, "The girl is inlove with you, Chaeng."

"Yeah, and you just broke her beautiful heart", Joy shakes her head in disappointment.

"I— guys, whose friends are you, seriously?", Chaeyoung whines, "I told you, I panicked, okay?"

"You didn't have to slam the door on her face, though", Joy points out.

"It was out of reflex! I swear I, too, was surprised at what my stupid self did."

"Still, the poor girl deserves at least a decent answer from you, you know? It's not that easy to confess", Wendy said.

"And what am I supposed to answer to that? 'Um is this a prank?' Or maybe, 'Is it April fools today?'", Chaeyoung groans, "I didn't know what to answer, okay?"
