A Man's Confession
Secret Place
"What are you saying sorry about? You don't have to say sorry about anything." Sora said and smile at Jungsoo, "On the contrary, you even gave me a lot of ideas on how would I deal with Mr. Cho."
"... saying sorry about." Jungsoo murmured,
"What? I didn't get what you said. What did you say?" Sora said and tilted her head a bit towards Jungsoo,
"That's not what I'm saying sorry about." Jungsoo repeated more louder this time, "Don't make me repeat myself anymore. I hate doing that."
"What? But you were saying something to me though. I do want to hear all about it too. Repeat it, Jungsoo. Please?" Sora said and joined both of her hands near her face,
Jungsoo heaved a heavy sigh, "Let me ask you a question, Sora. Have you though of what you are going to do if you only have limited time to live?" he asked and look straight at Sora's eyes,
"Huh? What brought this question on?" Sora asked back instead,
"Nothing. It's just a hypothetical question. I mean, you're going to be in hospitals, right. Have you thought if you're like those patients who are in their dying bed or something?" Jungsoo said, "It's just a thought."
Sora thought about Jungsoo's question and went silent, "I would probably go to the places that I've never been before and eat as much as I want without thinking about anything." Sora said and giggled, "How about you? What are you going to do?"
"Me? I would spend it with someone whom I want to be with for the rest of my life. I'm going to spend it with the girl that I love." Jungsoo said without looking at Sora,
"D - Do you have someone who's special to you, Jungsoo?" Sora asked, feeling quite uncomfortable with her own question and feeling nervous too,
"Y - yeah, I have. I just met her unexpectedly and I really like her a lot. But I don't think she'll believe me if I tell her about my feelings 'coz she might think I'm too fast or something." Jungsoo said,
"Is that so? But I think it would be much better for you to tell her how you feel. I would do that if I have limited time to spare." Sora replied to Jungsoo,
"T - then would you believe me if I tell you I like you?" Jungsoo asked,
"M - me? What are you saying there, Jungsoo? How can you like someone whom you just met unexpectedly and - " Sora said but she realized what Jungsoo told her, "YOu mean I'm the one whom you are talking about? The one whom you met unexpectedly?" Sora bellowed out and Jungsoo just nodded to her in response,
"That can't be. We just met a month ago and the only thing that connects us both is only this place and nothing else. I don't even know your number and whatnot like what friends usually know about each other." Sora said continuously,
"That's why I'm telling you. You won't believe anything that I'm going to say." Jungsoo said, "I couldn't believe it too when I realized it but what I'm telling you now is the truth. I really like you, Sora."
"How can you say that you like me if we just get to speak this way and nothing else?"
"I have told you things about me eventhough I don't know if you are going to listen to it. And I'm not rushing you to tell me something about you too. I'm willing to wait for you to open up to me." Jungsoo just said, "But please, don't take too much time. I hope you give me a chance on showing my feelings to you before - "
The school bell rang before Jungsoo can finish what he's trying to say,
"It's time for classes, Sora. You better stand there or else you will be late." Jungsoo said after standing from the bench,
"But you were uttering such nonsense - "
"No, I'm not and I'm sure you know that I'm telling the truth, Sora." Jungsoo said seriously, "I fell in love with you since the first time I saw you. I usually find things out about the girl that I like but I find you different that it doesn't matter anymore on how you are."
"What I did was patiently wait for you everyday hoping that you would come back. And I felt contented on the fact that you slowly tell me things about you. I felt happy with that without even knowing your name."
"I don't believe you." Sora said but her tone lacked conviction,
"That's what I thought. But at least, I have told you how I feel." Jungsoo replied, "It's time for you to go back now, Sora. We will be late for class."
Sora got confused on what Jungsoo told her . She planned to talk to him about it the next day but she didn't see him when she returned to their special place.
