Ch. 20

So, it was morning.

I found myself in my room. Shocked at myself why I was in my bedroom. I don't remember anything last night and my brain hurts trying to recall even just a glimpse of what happened after we ate dinner.

Trying to guess who called me last night and why it made me annoy. It was frustrating to try remembering everything so I gave up and decided to go back to sleep. You know, you should not waste your remaining vacation days and have some more time to sleep.

But then someone interrupted and came to my room.

"Jilin? Are you okay now?" He seems worried and I can tell he was rushing his way here to see me.

Now, I remember everything.

"I am fine. Can we talk now? I don't know what you want to talk about since you immediately end the call. So, spill it." I gave him the floor to speak. Jaewon then sat on my bed, facing me.

"I know you're annoyed and confused. But I just wanna let this everything out. I don't know who's that Johnny guy but I hope he treats you well. But I won't be that stupid guy who won't do anything--"

"Stop fooling around Jaewon and just say it--"

"I like you."

And there he finally said it.

"I like you, more than just my friend. I like how you make me smile like an idiot. I am insanely falling for you." He said looking straight into my eyes. I can see his sincerity.

My brother was right.

"I'm sorry, Jaewon." I said and his eyes went from being hopeful to disappointed. I went closer to him and gave him a hug.

"It's okay Jilin, I totally understand. I'm so dumb right obviously you were dating that Johnny guy-"

"No, that's not true. He's my friend." I explained while still hugging him. He stayed silent for a while. Maybe, he felt awkward.

"Jaewon, I like you too." I said expecting a reaction from him but still he was silent.

"Jaewon? Woni?" And I tapped his back. I slowly let go from the hug and yes, he fell asleep.

Carefully laid him on my bed and covered him. I slowly caressed his hair and stared at his face. He's near perfect. His nice hair, pointed nose, red lips and tantalizing eyes.

My brother was right. I was falling for him. I realized how paranoid I am when he wasn't around and how I enjoy myself being with him everytime we are together. I am so dumb not to notice that. Well, I mean, I guess love makes everyone go stupid, aren't we?

"I think I really like you." I said and gently kisses his forehead while he was asleep.

"Hey, Jilin. Wake up."

"Five.. more.. minutes." I said hugging my pillow tighter but I also noticed it wasn't soft so I pinched it and,

"Aw! That hurts!" He grunted so I conclude it was him I was hugging all this time.

Wait, what?!

After realizing it later, I quickly let go my grasp from hugging of what-so-I-thought pillow. I heard him giggle a little. I guess he was enjoying it.

"Your brunch is ready so come on, get up and eat." He said so I just politely nod and got up. He pinched my cheeks but I didn't mind, he has a crush on me anyways.

As we about to go out from my room, he stopped so I turned back and saw him looking all disappointed and sigh.

"What is it? You're making me worry." I said tapping his back but he didn't mind at all.
