Her Secret (VJoy)

[6]

Joy gaped at him. Her heart started to rumble and she can't think straight suddenly.

Taehyung looked at her with solemn eyes. "I love you Joy. I love you. I love-"

"Stop it!" Her mouth was shaking when she said that. "Take back what you said. You don't love me. You can't !"

Joy covered her ears. No, this can't be. It's the alcohol. It's just the alcohol. This will pass. There's no way that he's sane right now, it's the alcohol.

"You know I do and I know you feel the same way!"

Just like that, Joy didn't stop the tears that streamed down her face.

It was supposed to be her secret. She's supposed to hide it from him.

Joy swiftly turned around and was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist and led her inside a vacant a room.

Upon locking the door, Taehyung pushed Joy on the wall, trapping him between his arms almost hugging her waist.

The room suddenly felt so small, it became hot, it was almost hard to breathe. They are both gasping for air. Joy can feel his hot breathe on her face.

"Tell me you can't feel it and I'll let you go."Taehyung said in a low voice that sent shivers down her spine.

She looked up to him." This isn't right, let go of me."

"You haven't answered me yet." Taehyung gasped for air as if calming his self down but his hold on her didn't loosen one bit.

"I love you." This time he said it once again passionately. He put his forehead against hers, closing his eyes, now finally calming down. "Please don't cry."

But Joy shakes her head, biting her lips to stop herself from crying.

Taehyung opened his eyes and saw Joy's swollen eyes and red nose.

He instinctively wiped her tears away.

She's a mess, she can already see it. She can't help but feel embarass in this kind of situation.

She can't help but avert her eyes but Taehyung held her chin making her look up to him.

He held his breathe and said, "I know this is not the right way to confess but I feel that I'm going to lose you if I don't say it. I was going to held it in. I was not planning on telling you. I was planning on leaving then come back and tell you but I don't know what will happen once I leave... We're best friend and yet I can't demand you to wait for me so I have to resort to this. I don't want you to be with other guys Joy."

Joy continued to gape at him. She was not expecting this. She can't believe for things to turn this way.

" Say something Joy... Don't push me away."

Joy shake her head, tears started to form in her eyes once again. She continued shaking her head, she probably looks like a mad woman now. She punched his chest even though he won't feel any pain.

"That's right. Hit me. Hit me with all you've got. This is better than hearing you reject me. This way I know that I still have a chance." Taehyung said not backing away, just letting her hit his chest, he even have the nerve to wipe her tears.

Joy doesn't know why she can't stop crying but it was the first time that she cried since she met Taehyung.

" Do you know why I called you 'Joy' ? " Joy didn't listen and continued hitting him, not caring about her nickname.

"Because I like the way you smiled at me. You brought me joy that day even when I was lonely."

Joy sniffed and tried to calm, with a hoarse voice she said, "I don't care." She wiped her tears away and took a deep breath.
