▲ Jiyong's P.O.V. ▲

Holy.

.

I stare down at the phone in my hands in pure disbelief at what just happened. Holy .

"Holy ," I mutter, glancing up from my phone to see Hanbin and Bobby looking at me, both with questioning expressions. I don't bother answering their confused looks and just blink slowly.

She likes me? Bom likes me?

"I don't love her," I reply quickly. At l
