TWENTY-FIVE

I know all of you are curious…yes, he came. But as usual, we didn’t talk to each other. Seulgi tried to make us talk, though, but to no avail. And so, this great friend of mine decided to send Sehun a message to talk to me…so yeah, we’re currently sending messages to each other right now. I don’t think we’ll ever get to talk face-to-face again.

Sehun: Hey. Seulgi told me to talk to you.

Me: What?! She did what?! For what reason?

Sehun: I don’t know either. She just told me to sort things out.

Me: What is there to sort? Geez, really, Seulgi.

Sehun: Are you having a hard time? That’s what she said.

Me: Having a hard time on what?

Sehun: She told me stop leading you on.

Me: Oh…

Sehun: I don’t know what I did. I’m sorry if you felt that way.

Me: I think it’s about the game from the last reunion.

Sehun: I just gave an honest answer.

Me: This is the problem, Sehun. You know your friend has feelings for you. You can’t just say things like that if you don’t have any feelings for me. I can understand that, you know. We can remain friends. I can move on when the time comes. I won’t be able to do that if you keep doing such things.

Sehun: It’s been more than ten years. It’ll be hard to forget your feelings, especially if you keep talking to that person. I don’t want us to stop talking, though. I like talking to you. And it’s not like I don’t have any feelings for you…

I frowned. I don’t know if I’d like where this is going.

Me: What do you mean by that?

Sehun: I…I think…I like you…I don’t know…I’m not sure…I’m confused, as well.

My eyes widened. My heart was starting to beat erratically. I wiped the screen of my phone and reread his message. I didn’t even care about the next sentences. All I could see was the first thing he said. I don’t know if I feel happy or mad. First of all, I hate text message confessions the most. My dad once told me never to date guys like that because they are jerks. If a guy sincerely likes you, he’ll man up and have the courage to ask you out in person. Second, he made everything more complicated. He thinks??? Dude, you don’t think your feelings for someone. You feel it. I prefer him telling me not to like him anymore. In this case,
