JIHYO'S POV

I have come to admit that...















I really like Daniel, my one and only fucking boss.

 I don't know, when, and why did it happen or started. My heart just tells me that I like him. So what now? What am I supposed to do? Confess? That's one thing I can't do because I know him for sure. He doesn't like me back. Like or Love, I have feelings for him. Even though I confessed, will it change? Will our relationship change? We don't have to put a label...but doesn't mean we're official-what the heck are you talking about Jihyo? He doesn't love you.

He can't love you.

"How can our bright Jihyo be so weak and falling in the darkness? Be strong Jihyo, forget your feelings-" I interrupted Nayeon, "Forget?! How can I forget? It's not easy unnie..." I started sobbing, didn't know what to do. I'm usually the one who gives advice, the strong one, and why can't I be that one right now?

"What do you want to do?" I was expecting that she would ask that question. Right what should I do?

THIRD POV

Daniel was left alone in his room as everyone left, including his parents. He wanted to stay for a while for one reason. Jihyo said that she'll be discussing something important, which he agreed on. A knock came from his door, and it caused him to smile.

"Sit down, no one is around. Let's be comfortable with each other like friends." Like friends. Her heart ached, but she formed a smile and nodded. She was amazed by herself that she thought she was great at acting. "So what is it? tell me, I don't have that much time." Jihyo hesitated for once, still not yet ready if she could tell it. She breathed deeply,

"I think...I want to r-resi..gn.."

Just when Daniel heard her, he got furious or something from him just shattered into pieces. Normally, he would be sad, but this time he felt like crying. He knew he was weak and what was the reason. He can't accept it.

"What?! Why? Do you need money or help? I can help you or pay it or whatever it is-"

"No...Just please. Stop trying...I have already made a decision to resign." She forced a smile, which was clear she was faking it. A tear escaped from her eye, which she couldn't resist. "N-no! Aish! There's something wrong. Something is holding you back. What is it? I know you don't want to resign Park Jihyo." Of course, this feeling is unknown to him. He hasn't experienced this feeling before, but he tried to accept that feeling. Knowing that he liked her more...that normal friends. It suddenly just happens. He could never know when, how, why did he have mutual feelings for this certain person.

"It's someone..."

"Who is that someone? I will hurt him or her!"

"You are already hurting yourself...why'd you want to be hurt more..?"

Daniel was smart enough, and his hearing is fine. He was confused, how can he be troubling Jihyo?

"Me? Tell me what I have done, I'll hurt myself."

"You made me fall for you. That's right, I have feelings for you!" She was glad that she didn't stutter, She believed that she was strong. She can't be weak, even though deep inside, she was hurting.

Daniel's world stopped, everything that surrounded him wasn't clear in his vision, just Jihyo.

"Glad to say that I'm returning my feelings too. Don't resign please..." In the scene that they we're in, they were standing near each other, Daniel held her hand. Finally giving in. "Y-you l-love me?" Daniel didn't budge, what can he say? What will he answer? "I said do you love me?!" Jihyo wasn't angry, in fact, she wanted her to hear his answer. "If I didn't excuse myself that night, would you kiss me?" But still, no answer.

"Answer me!"

"I...I can't love you..." Truth hurts, but it's true.

"Then why can't you love me?!"

"I don't want to love! I like you too, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid we'll make so many moments together and I'll lose you. And it's gonna make it harder for me to move on! I love you too Jihyo...but I'm not ready to commit." He finally confessed. What have they got themselves into? Neither of them doesn't want this, but it is happening.

"I u-understand...but that's not stopping me from resigning."

I thought you loved me, meaning by not leaving me. But then I realized, she didn't promise anything.

"Then resign. If that's your final decision, let it be."

None of them wants this. None
