Seatmate | Jeon Wonwoo

Chapter 15: I LIKE YOU!

A week has passed and for the past days all I did was just staying in my house but I did go out at night but it was like just two times and one of those nights I met Wonwoo and as usual we would meet at the library and eat an ice cream at the convenience store, I'm not complaining though.

I got used to it but everytime I meet him at the library, I feel excited and isn't it a bonus if you're close with someone you secretly like?

But I'm still kinda anxious, 'Does he meet other girls at the same night?' Or 'Did he already find a girlfriend in L.A. or maybe here?'.

The thing that Soonyoung told me the other didn't really got out of my mind instead it stayed there also leaving me questions that 'what if what he said was true?' And 'Was he just joking?'.

I'm not really sure, like would he like me when all I did was be a fool infront of him and our classmate Yuri was a total beauty I wouldn't be surprised if he starts dating her but I know deep down I don't want that to happen.
Who would like to see the person they like with someone else? Not me, I'm really weak hearted when I know that someone is trying to ignore me or would say unpleasant words, I would easily get weak or would get sad but even if I know that certain person is trying to ignore me I would still stick with that person especially if that person is special to me.

It's already dark now and now I'm currently at the park just strolling, and I was right the air today is great, Spring breeze are the best.

"Gyunghui?", I heard someone's somewhat a familiar voice call me from the back, I turned around to see who it was and it was Seojun.

"O—oh, S—seojun", Yes it is awkward after his confession I couldn't stop myself but be awkward.

"How have you been?", He asked and smiled, I forged a smile just so it would be less awkward but it actually raised.

"I—uh I'm fi—", I looked around because I couldn't look at him directly in the eyes but when I looked at my left side I saw someone that made me feel suddenly nervous. He shouldn't see me with another guy when I like him right?. I want to run to him but my feet won't move.

"I—uh—", I couldn't mutter any right words to say and my hands we're starting to tremble. I look at him completely and he was just standing there but with a sudden smile that formed on his lips he left.

He turned around and just walked while I was just staring at his slowly disappearing back, I mentally panicked and trying to think of a better way to get out of this mess.

"I—I'm really s—sorry but I—uh I have to g—go.", I said really stuttering and waited for him to say something so I could go run to him.

"So he's the guy huh?", he said with a smile.

"I really n—need to g—go", and with that I run and left my past to save my present.

I run until I reached the library but he's nowhere there, I run to the convenience store but he wasn't there either and before I knew tears started falling from my eyes, unconsciously I started to feel anxious about what's going to happen between us.

I run to the direction where his house is and to my relief he was still walking on the streets. I slowed down my pace to follow him from a distance, I started sobbing and my breath was deep from all the running.

"Wonwoo.", I said in between of catching my breath but he didn't hear it as my voice was too low.

"W—Wonwoo.", I tried to make it louder but he still couldn't hear it.

"JEON WONWOO!", I shouted and it was the loudest as I could get, he stopped walking but he didn't turn around.

Without any hesitation I run to him and hugged him from the back.

"I LIKE YOU! I like you Jeon Wonwoo.", I could feel my heart beating uncontrollably from what I said just now and me hugging him from behind is making me more nervous.

WONWOO'S POV

I'm on my way to my house after seeing a scene. While walking I was completely down, on that time where I saw Gyunghui with a guy, I couldn't say anything but walked away like a coward that I have always been.

But I remembered what my parents said to me earlier about Gyunghui agreeing on our arranged marriage, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed on that very moment and it was enough reason for me to go and meet her.

I purposely got to the library just meet her if she goes there but she didn't, when I was reading a book on one of the tables, I saw her just passed by I hurriedly placed back the book on the shelf and followed her but when I finally saw her, I should be overwhelmed but I wasn't it was rather a horror when I saw her with that Seojun guy.

I'm getting near to my house but suddenly I heard someone call my name from behind and I know it was her, I couldn't get the courage to look back but after a snap I felt soft hands around me, my eyes widened from the sudden skinship but then she suddenly spoke up again that made my lips part in surprise.

"I LIKE YOU! I like you Jeon Wonwoo.", My heart was beating so fast and I could also feel her heartbeat on my back. She already knows my answer right?

Soonyoung told her that I was supposed to confess to her about my feelings but now I want to tell her, confessing my feelings to her face to face. I brought up all my courage and get ready to face what's happening right now.

I hold her hands, parted it and turned around to face her. I smiled and looked at her in the eyes, her cheeks we're wet and her eyes we're red and puffy. 'Did she cry?' 'Did I make her cry?'.

"Gyunghui, I know that Soonyoung already told you but I'm going to say it again and now it's me who is saying it.", She just looks at me and waiting for me to continue.

"I like you! Since the day I first saw you I started to do weird things and that I'm fond of meeting you and later I've realized that I was falling. I was going to confess to you that night, on the first snow but I failed to.", I said and she smiled, a tear suddenly fall from her eyes, I wiped it off using my thumb.

"S—so Soonyoung wasn't l—lying.", She said and it made me chuckle. She didn't actually believe what Soonyoung said.

"Yes, He wasn't.", I said and when I saw her smile more widely, I pulled her for a hug, she hugged me back and burried her face on my chest.

I smiled and traced my hand on her head and pulled her closer.

'My day couldn't be any better than this...'
