14: His confession
A Beautiful Mistake'What did he mean by that? He likes me too.? Or am I hear the wrong thing?' -Jihyo inner voice
'What have you said Yoo Jaesuk! What's on your mind. Are you nuts?'- Jaesuk inner voice
"Erm.." Both of them tried to say something. Jaesuk decide to let she talk first but then Jihyo ask to hear him first.
"I was trying to say that I love you.. as a sister or as a friend. Like how I love those members as a family. That's what I tried to mean.'No, I didn't. I mean to say I love you as a woman.' As Jaesuk try to fight with his real thought, Jihyo response to him.
"Ayy oppa! You should tell me earlier! I was shocked you know." She try to make it like it's okay. Like she know it was a joke. Her face was smilling. She did success in fooling Jaesuk but she fail in fooling herself. How she hope it was a truth. And how for a moment she really happy to have the thought that he loves her.. as a woman. Knowing that she may breaks down any soon, she have to make Jaesuk left first.
"Oppa! It's already 7.30 PM. I would like to rest now and you should go home now. Your wife waiting." She felt a pinch in her heart when she say her wife. 'He has a wife Jihyo. Wake up!'
"If you say so, I'll go first. Take care okay? If you need anything just call me. Bye." He then went to door and left. Right after the door was close, Jihyo goes to her room. She keep replaying the moment. When he looks into her eyes deeply and say he does. His expression was so real. Unwillingly, tears fall from her eyes.
"Why did you choose him among the thousands men you met. Why him? Why Yoo Jaesuk? You already know you can't own him. It hurts right? You should run when you know you are falling for him.."
'But there's something of him that makes you fall arent you? You love his smile, his eyes when he look at you, his expression when he is serious, his warmth when he cares for you and ...his sense of responsibility when it's about you.'
All the night, she lullaby herself to sleep with those thought of running away from him, forget him, turn over a new leaf and a lot of things. But there's one thing she doesn't realize.
It's too late for her not to love him.
____________________________________________________
As few weeks pass, she fully recovered. Along these weeks, she tried to avoid him as much as she could. She will always ensure that she doesn't alone with him. She could sense the feeling is getting stronger. She afraid she might do something like she shouldn't do. Like..
Confess to him.
And yet, she did well in enduring the pain of trying to avoid someone. The worst scenario would the last week she almost confess to him when she was drunk. So she decided not to drink so the worst thing will never happen.
As for him, he realized. How Jihyo avoid him. He is not blind, he could feel it. It's kinda frustrated him that Jihyo behave like this. He miss the she that always be with him. But now, as if she was trying to do something, she run away from him, unnoticely. She will only meet him during the show or when the members are gathering. Like last week, she was suppose to have her last check up, and he offered to drive her to the hospital. But instead, she rejected him and lied to him that he have her own transport. At first, he didn't realize. Since he thought Jihyo's manager will called him for any help he could. But then, he found out that Jihyo also lied to her manager saying that Jaesuk will drive her to when he met her manager on the same day in a cafe. He had tried many times to ask her regarding this matter. But he can't since Jihyo was avoiding to be alone with him.
