Us Again | Yoon Jeonghan

Chapter 23(Last)

As spring came, cherry blossom tree's bloomed and scattered. It was cold but not as cold as when it was in winter. I could say that it was unusually warm because it was, the way I don't get shivers anymore when the wind passes by.

Or maybe it was because I was holding on to something, something as warm as a fireplace.

"Why do you look so happy?", Jeonghan asked and squeezed my hand a little. I just smiled at him and shook my head.

Yes, it was his hands clasping mine that is so warm. So unfortunate of others to not feel this kind of warmth.

Jeonghan and I were strolling beside Han River, the weather was extremely perfect for something like this. This is one of the things that I would want to do if ever I would have a boyfriend and now that it's happening, I love how it became a healing.

I looked around, scanning the whole place but I pursed my lips when I suddenly remembered him, Joshua, and how we coincidentally met here that night.

I clearly do remember his confession but I still can't bring myself to believe it, sometimes he doesn't take something seriously and maybe his confession that day at the airport was one of those.

"Jeonghan.", He just hummed in response. It's okay to tell him this right? And we've been together for awhile after all, so I think it's alright.

"That night when you came to my restaurant, but we weren't like in... good terms...", my explanation wasn't that accurate but I think he sort of knows what I'm talking about."When I drove away from you, I came here and Joshua was here too.", He just nodded his head, one corner of his lips lifting.

"It's okay. I trust him with you. He told me you two are both just friends and I already told him that I like you."

He's right. He just sees me as a friend, that's all. Why does he even have to joke about something like that?

I chuckled. "He doesn't really tell me anything seriously."

"I was the first one to bring up about that who we like thing and I practically told him everything.", I creased my forehead, waiting for him to continue.

"Everything?"

"Hmm, like how I liked you ever since we you know, our fake relationship and even told him that I wanted to have a serious relationship with you back then but, it kinda messed up. We were both facing infront so I couldn't really see his reaction."

What? Since we we're faking it? I thought I was the only who was crazy for falling in love despite our relationship being fake. I'm not saying that he's crazy though, just uhm... nevermind. But what would've happened exactly if I wasn't a coward then and told him everything?

"As a good friend he is, he told me everything too.", I suddenly became more expectant of what he's about to say. "He said it was unrequited. I thought he was joking but when I looked at him, he was dead serious.", Jeonghan even chuckled. "I told him that he should confess because maybe it's just what he thought and before he's too late but he just replied with a blank 'I'm already too late.',"

What is really inside Joshua's mind? He could've just told me everything that has been bothering him but he didn't.

"I kinda pitied him. Who could be that person who made him like that. It was so unlike him."

"Wahh, It's refreshing.", He said, changing his tone, probably just to brighten up the mood. He closes his eyes, rocking our hands. I just chuckled at how cute he looked.

I just shrugged off all the thoughts about earlier. Wishing that everything would eventually turn out great.

"Do you wanna do something? Or want anything?", He asked and I looked around, thinking if something fun to do.
