I Liked You As Soon As I Hated You (Yejisu)

Chapter 7

As the game went on, Jisu found herself seated far away from where Yeji was seated. She thought that was the safest thing right now, she knows Hyunjin doesn't really like her but she doesn't know why.

She is currently sitting beside Yuna and Chaeryeong as they cheer for Ryujin. The baseball player sends them hearts whenever she can, smiling brightly at them.

Ryujin spots Yeji too, but was confused as to why they were sitting far away from the others.

"..Why are you here again?" Jisu asks her cousin, Beomgyu who was sitting on her right side with his arms crossed, looking unamused.

He let out a sigh, "Am I not allowed to sit with my cousin now?" He raises an eyebrow at Jisu as she rolls her eyes. She knows that, that wasn't the case.

"Liar." She mutters, adjusting on her seat as she crosses her legs, hugging the jacket she was holding closer to her chest.

It was cold and thank god that she brought a jacket with her or else she'd be freezing... well, she can always borrow her friends' jacket... especially Yeji's.

She hears Beomgyu let out a sigh, a defeated one. He props his elbow on his knee as he leans forward, resting his head on his palm. "Alright, you caught me. I'm not here just because I want to sit with you."

"Of course, you're a genuinely sweet person but you would rather prefer sitting with your friends than sit with me."

He chuckles, Jisu was right. Even though he cares and loves his cousin just like a real sister, he would always choose his friends first.. that includes Soobin even though love drove him insane and almost killed Yeji.

"Come on, you can tell me. I'll listen to you." Jisu offered him a small yet reassuring smile and it was enough for Beomgyu to feel safe.

"I went out drinking with Hyunjin and Yeji last night." He started as his eyes wandered around the field, following the players' every move.

Jisu hums, "I know."

"Yeah.. and Taehyun was there.."

Then there was silence, the crowds' cheers and screams were all they heard as Jisu stared at him. ".. Did you talk to him?"

"Of course I did! I'm his friend and seeing your friend at a party and pretending that you don't know them is weird..."

Jisu blinks then nods. "Then what happened?"

Beomgyu bit on his lower lip, hesitating to say the words that's been clawing at his throat. He wanted to tell Jisu, he wanted to share it to her.

But he was hesitant, he wasn't really the type to tell people about his relationship with others but this was Jisu.

This is his cousin, he's comfortable enough around her to tell her.

"I-I confessed to him."

At this point, Jisu wasn't even surprised anymore. "Took you long enough." She giggles before patting Beomgyu's back.

He has liked him ever since they were in high school and Jisu knows it all too well, but Beomgyu struggled to confess and Jisu was the only one who motivated and supported him.

"I know, but this isn't a good news, Jisu. He rejected me, harshly. Told me he regretted being my friend... and I don't know what to do.. I just.."

He bit his lip again, he wasn't about to cry but he looked so confused and mad, even. He was absolutely taken aback by Taehyun's reaction.

It was unexpected, even Jisu was surprised. "I left, I couldn't listen to him... I think I hate him but I know I don't. I can't."

He sighs, running his hand through his hair. "Could he be drunk?"
