jieun.

'jieun-ah, can you meet me after school at the practise room. i have something to tell you' i voiced out, reading back the note which was stuck on my notebook. i really didn't want to face him after today's incident, it made me feel worse than i ever could but... there's this feeling that i can't really describe what... yet it tells me that maybe this is a chance... to make it up... be truthful...

Whatever was filling inside my head was giving me faith and hope. But is it really okay to follow my instinct...

i planned to arrive early than what he had noted, just because. The hall was empty and quiet despite most of the students have gone elsewhere yet the hallways feels eerie and cold. like something is gonna happen... but could it be a bad thing or a good one?

soft steps were heard echoing from my sneakers, looking up towards the signs and eyeing the 'practise room 2' label above the front door. As i approach closer towards the room, a faith sound of melody were heard and it was getting louder as i reach the room.

i somehow came to a halt before the door, feeling unease. The melody playing was exactly coming from the room, it was the sounds of guitar strums. There was also some faint voices heard and it somewhat feels familiar-like i know exactly who is currently singing with the guitar. Inhaling a big breath to soothe my mind as i tip-toed carefully to the front door.

sure, it was earlier than what he expected me to come but knowing that he told me to come to say something important that is relevant to him singing again after awhile caught me dumbfounded. It's been awhile... , a smile manage to creep onto my face as i hear his soft voice.

Raising my head slowly to take a peek on the see-through glass without getting caught. A soft gasp came out, trying my best to not be obvious at the scene of soobin with a familiar figure inside the practise room. He was singing with joy as he strums onto his guitar with that sheepish smile he flashed out to the girl figure.... the one... the one that rumors of his confessing to... the one he smiled with during club activity... and also his P.E partner... Jung Hyunsoo.

The room was filled with colourful ballons scattered everywhere on the floor, a bouquet of flowers was held tight in Hyunsoo's grasp and soobin singing happily for her.

My inside fell and crumbled down, my mind was going insane with so many unanswered question i want to ask, tears were slowly forming on the tip of my eyes, welling up. Bitting my lower-lip hard as an attempt of coping with the unstable emotions growing on me.

Soobin's singing suddenly came to a stop with his final strum, he finishes with a shy sheepish smile before standing up, approaching the girl slowly.

maybe it's really time for me to stop... , i thought inside as tears were unbearable anymore, flowing down the cheeks. don't you get it.. he's happy now... why can't you let go of him... Soft sobs were starting to get more louder, bitting even more to resist the overwhelming emotions growing.

D-DAKK!

a loud noise of my knee hitting against the door were heard vividly as it actually managed to open up a little by the force, also alarming the people inside the room. My day just got even more worse than it ever could. "aish-" i voiced out in embarrassment as the two figures inside notices my presence behind the door, sprinting off from the scene as fast as i could.

"you are such a bad friend... you just disturbed your friend's confession day..." i manage to blurted out in between my sobs and pant through the hall, covering my eyes in attempt of wiping all of the nonstop flowing tears. Sobs became more louder as i made my way down the flight of stairs, slowing my pace a little as the pain felt like a thousand knives stabbing onto my hearts. Releasing my anger as i gripped onto the railing.

"hey, lee jieun!" a familiar voice echoed loudly through the halls, holding up my head to witness soobin's figure on top of the stairs. My heart ached even more after knowing that he saw me in this teary situation on such a good day for him, jumping from my position as i continued to run faster through the halls, especially with soobin tailing at the back.

"lee jieun!" soobin shouted out. "jieun-ah, stopp!" he continued, eventhough i know that he could catch up anytime. "lee jieun!"

i was at my limit. My steps slowly halted as he also stopped from behind. "why-"

i managed to cut his words, "im sorry." i exclaimed out, gathering all my courage as i pushed out a forced awkward laugh. Still having my backs on him despite the swollen face filled with tears as it still flows down. "i.. know i should be happy for you..."

my inside started to feel even worse. "i...i'm happy for you... both... you and hyunsoo" i manage to sqeak out before bursting into another ocean of tears. "it's... just that... it... hurts so much..." my sobs were getting louder.

my sobs came to a halt as an embrace came from behind, shocking me with soobin's arm tightly gripped around me. "i'm sorry... " he started off.

"i'm sorry that it pained you so much... but i'm also in pain" his words caught me off guard, my sobs were slowly fading. "i think there's a misunderstanding here... hyunsoo is just a neighbour i know... she helped me organize all the decoration and helped me composed a song..." he stopped a bit. "a song that i made just for you..."

calming my sobs as i softly remove soobin's grip, twisting my figure around as i faced him in the eye. Knitting my brows together in confusion, "a song for me?"

a grin appeared on him, "yeah, it's been awhile since i wrote a song..." he snorted, feeling shy as he wrapped his arms around me. "but.. seeing you everyday made me realised of an emotion and feeling that i never want to let go... seeing you everyday brought inspirations and motivations for my days... seeing you made me know how important you are to me..."

"lee jieun, i think that... i really like you" he spoke out. "like a lot..."

raising my arms as i caress his cheeks softly, mesmerised by his face up close, "really?" i stated out softly, sounding more like a question. A smile crept onto my face visibly, "... cause i think i like you a lot too..."

his hands met with mine as we made deep eye-contact, smiling like fools. Soobin took his chance and slowly approached closer as our face were really really close with each other. His soft lips met with mine as we both shared mutual feelings.

the feeling of love towards each other... and each other's presence.
