Chapter Eleven

"He what?!" Jaehyuk exclaimed, eyes widened with his mouth left open. I was nervously biting my lower lip trying to avoid his gaze.

"Haruto kissed you?!" he then asked again for the third time but now it's louder. I hid my face in my pillow, getting red again on my cheeks as it flashed back on my mind.

"Why?" he asked curiously, confusion drawn acrossed his face. "I also don't know why!" I said with my montonous tone, trying to emphasize my confusion as well without making it loud.

"You did not ask him?!" he asked again. I massaged the back of my neck as I closed my eyes and slowly shook my head. "You should have asked him why did he fucking kissed you out of nowhere!" getting tensed he again shouted. Telling Jaehyuk is stressful. He keeps yelling.

"Someone called out for him right away..." I said almost a whisper remembering the incident when we're almost caught kissing. That was so close.

"You're too young for a kiss, Park Jeongwoo!" he hissed, his eyes were serious but I couldn't stop myself from laughing. He's making a fuss out of a kiss because I'm too young for it? I haven't thought of that...

"Jae, can you calm down a bit..." I told him, motioning him to take a sit on my bed. He aggressively picked up the blanket on the floor as he covered himself with it, throwing himself back on the bed with his lips pouting.

"You had your first kiss first, unfair," he murmured. I think I just dropped my jaw, he was getting tensed and worn out because of that?

"Ya," a tone of betrayal is evident in my voice. He crossed his arms against his chest, rolling his eyes. Again, I was stunned to see it from him.

"I'm sure I am more expressive and flirty than you, but Asahi didn't even thought of kissing me yet! How come you made Haruto did that?!"

I choked on his words. Why is he making it weird for me?

"Jae, you really sound weird to me now." I said shaking my head, tucking myself inside my blanket.

He let out a chuckle as he said "Jeongwoo, can I ask you something?"

Our eyes met, both transparent. We know each other well and I know both of us are on the same boat.

"When you found out you like Haruto, aren't you weirded by yourself?" he asked seriously, his eyes staring at me.

"No. It wasn't weird to me at all." I said straightforwardly. It was the truth. Nothing about my feelings for Haruto is weird for me.

"Even though he's also a guy?" he asked again. I shook my head and a smile lingered on my face. I know he was kind of unsure about himself when he started liking Asahi, he denied it and told me he likes girls... but who cares if you like a girl or a boy?

"That didn't occur in me, Jae. I like him. It doesn't matter to me if he's also a guy." I said. He started spacing out, taking my words along with him.

"When your heart beats, it beats. If you started falling, you fall. When you like a person, who cares if that person is a girl or a boy? As long as that person makes you happy, that person gives you strength, that person makes you laugh and make you yourself, it doesn't matter. Don't label your love for that person with a gender. It doesn't matter. It should not matter."

A proud smile flustered acrossed his face, as he patted my head. "You are a grown up, Jeongwoo."

"I think that's the reason why Haruto kissed you. Your mindset is way too attractive." he smiled teasingly. "I doubt it." I said laughing.
