Luhan thanks God that his words finally stop her. Jessica looks back at him, staring in disbelief.

“You don’t..? I mean… you two don’t… but I thought…” Jessica can’t finish what she wants to say, still wondering if what he says and what she thinks are the same.

Luhan breathes a sigh of relief for finally getting her full attention. He walks closer to her and holds her hands tightly before she could try to escape again.

“Yes. You thought.” Luhan repeats. “It’s all in your head.”

He gives up her hands and moves it to her flushed cheeks, making sure her eyes on his.

“Jessica, look.” His soft voice almost melts her heart. She looks at his beautiful brown eyes closely while admiring how gorgeous that face is.

“I will give you all the hug you want after we talk, okay?”

“We have a lot to talk about. A lot.”

“Okay…” She reluctantly lets go, looking a little embarrassed. After Luhan confession she can’t look at him in the eyes anymore.

“Cute.” He grins at her.

Oblivious to her now pink cheeks, he takes her hand and kisses it. Not really helpful to set her mind on the right track again.
