Once Upon A Time (Twice's Nayeon X You) ✓

Chapter 43: The Awkwardness

Nayeon's POV

"She didn't choose me."

Jeongyeon turned to her side as she didn't want the sadness to be evident on her face. What she said that she was happy was actually a sarcasm. I am so confused about why she chose no one. Is that how hard her feelings were? I gave Jeongyeon a brotherly hug.

"We both are losers."

"Or are we?"

*FLASHBACK*

"You are the second one who did that to me.", Y/N was serious enough, scaring Jeongyeon. "I will consider that as a friendly kiss."

"But it wasn't-"

"It is, for me."

Both of them were eager to put out the fire in front of them. It's not the mood to hear themselves since the coldness reached inside.

"I hope you would believe that I did not do it for the sake of friendship.", Jeongyeon hugged her knees as she sat down. "I really like you."

"I'll forget you said that.", Y/N was unable to look at Jeongyeon. "I'll consider it a friendly kiss because I don't want our friendship to be destroyed, Jeongyeon."

"H-huh?", Jeongyeon immediately stood up, and the dancing fire dances more inside her teary eyes. "You know what? Stop beating around the bush, Y/N. You could tell it to me directly if you won't give me a chance to prove this love for you."

"Okay.", Y/N sighed. "I'm not made for you, Jeongyeon."

"That."

Jeongyeon placed her hands inside her pockets to not show Y/N how disappointed she was to be rejected. Once again, Jeongyeon felt that she's worthless, and not only that, she felt useless.

"If I can't be with my owner, then how much more with you?"

"Are you saying that you are doing this just because you feel guilty to your owner?", Jeongyeon nagged. "Nayeon and I talked about it to respect your decision, Y/N! You didn't have to worry about that!"

"I belong to Nayeon only."

The awkwardness after having such a conversation. Who would've thought that it's better to look at the snowdrops falling directly to the flames of fire? The sounds of the fire crunching the snowflakes.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Y/N said that?", Nayeon was surprised, and was hoping that there's still a chance for her. "What could she possibly mean by that? Maybe she's just conscious of her actions that I would point out her wrong?"

"You talk to her about it then.", Jeongyeon was trying her best. "For now, it's confirmed that I didn't have the tiniest chance for her to love me back."

"I was hoping that Y/N is here!", I went to Mina's room.

"You were hoping for the wrong place and good morning to you too.", Mina was groggily speaking. "Thanks for being my alarm clock."

"Oh. Right.", I ran towards Jihyo's room. "Is Y/N here?"

"You are the owner. Why ask me?", Jihyo threw a pillow to my face. "Learn how to knock on the door!"

"Aish. This is my last hope.", I ran towards Momo's room this time. "I believe that Y/N is here!"

I scanned around the room and saw Momo sleeping while hugging something. I grabbed her back and turned her around to take my doll from her.
