“What truth?” He’s getting a little impatient

You inhaled and closed your eyes, “that the reason why I always rejected you and avoid you is because I want you to feel the way I felt when you turned me down in front of so many people,” you burst

Jinyoung’s eyes bulged from its socket

You don’t want to look at him, afraid to see his reaction

You looked down on your lap, “I want to make you feel my pain, I want to make you feel how hurt I was before. B-but every time you come around me and get close to me, makes me want to admit the fact that it has always been you,” you covered your face as you start to bawl, “and I always hated myself for that, that I can’t stop these feelings,”

Jinyoung then gently removed your hand from your face

He held tightly your right hand and caressed it with his thumb as he gently lifted up your chin

He looked straight into your eyes as if he’s looking at your soul, “Have you had any idea that I can fully understand what you did?”

You shook your head

“Because if I were you, I would’ve done the same thing so I get it. And it was entirely my fault for being such a coward and letting you confess first. I was afraid that our friendship will be ruined, I was a jerk,” he smiled a bitter smile

Jinyoung wiped a tear from your eye with his thumb, “I was at war with myself when I rejected you that I followed you to America but I have failed as a man. You see, ~~~~, it has always been you for me too ever since like forever and maybe long before you started to have those feelings,”

Your eyes twinkled with tears starting to flow again as you smiled

Jinyoung caressed your cheek as his hand travelled to your chin

He lifted it up again and started getting closer until your faces are 1 cm apart

His eyes are locked on your lips as he paused and glance in your eyes before giving you a gentle peck on your lips

Jinyoung held your face, “I love you. I love everything
