-나는 그들의 것, 그들은 내 꺼야-

the awkward aura followed us as we went home. what could we even say to each other? how do i even respond to what he said?

but how does he know that seungcheol said he had feelings for me? why does he have feelings for me? i'm just a regular girl. i'm nothing special. i'm just a bratty, crybaby that can't do anything without them

"why?" i finally spoke. breaking the silence in the car

"why... do you love me?" i repeated, holding my hands tightly against each other and staring at them. i couldn't bring myself to look at his eyes

i heard him sigh and move in his seat. "because i do" he simply responded

turning my head to look at him, my eyes were slightly wide. "that's n-not a reason" i said through my sniffles

"one day, i'll tell you" he looked out onto the road, one hand on the steering wheel, the other resting on his thigh

"what, you're comfortable enough to tell me you love me, but you won't tell me why?" i felt a strange courage rise in me

i need a reason. i need to know why, because i don't understand why he would love such a simple girl that'll probably never have an impact on anyone else's life. i'm nothing. i need to know why he loves me

"areum, one day i'll tell you" i sighed, "but just know that it's true. i love you, and i always will" i responded, glancing at her as i spoke

her eyes were still clouded with tears and her cheeks and nose were still pink

"fine" she muttered and sank onto her seat, staring out the window as i turned my head to the road once again

🌷

for the rest of the ride there was silence, the only thing heard was the sound of the radio and the people talking about the weather and the news of what happened today

i messed up

those were the only words that were in my head as we drove back home

i shouldn't have told her like that. i should have sat down and talked to her about it. if i had proper time to plan, it would have been romantic. i would have taken her out on a date or something and it wouldn't have been during my sister's death anniversary... it would have gone better than this

i wouldn't have yelled it to her, i wouldn't seem like i'm jealous

but i am

i am jealous

because she might love the others. but i also love her, and i want her to love me as well

when we walked through the front door, i saw wonwoo sitting in the darkness. his eyes glowed through the darkness, they were blood-red

"shit" i muttered

from the corner of my eye, i saw areum turn her head to me, confusion written all over her face

"what're you doing awake?" i asked him, our eyes meeting each other

"i was waiting for you both" he stood up from his seat, his voice was in a monotone, but i could tell he was enraged as he glared at me
