i reached the door part of the rooftop and it was open, i walked up and the night breeze welcomed me but as i actually got a glimpse of the whole picture, i saw someone standing and leaning on the fence with a phone to his ear just like me.
i figured that it looked a lot like yeonjun but doubted it for the reason that it would be too much of a coincidence if we actually met somewhere here at night while talking to each other on the phone.
my slipper accidentally made noise more than i had wanted so the guy turned around to look at me, and at the same time, yeonjun answeredㅡ "so we could talk."
with a smile.
choi yeonjun turned around with a smile.
it's like i was suddenly blinded by a flashbang, and everything around my eyes became a pure white noise frame with yeonjun perfectly in the middle in HD. it's like everything went slow-motion for a second, and i just froze there, overwhelmed of what i felt.
coincidences, huh?
"oh, you're here," he spoke again on the phone, his one free hand on his pocket as he started to walk over towards me. i still couldn't answer as i didn't believe that this was actually happening in front of me. he looked at his phone then ended the call as it beeped on my line. he smiled at me but i was still holding my phone to my ear, speechless.
"hey?" he asked again, realizing that i'm still frozen. "you okay?" he asked, smiling with his brows raised for a question.
"iㅡ" i finally got to respond!! but i'm still not over what i just felt and witnessed. i mean— that was a real kdrama momentㅡ at least for me! that felt really freaking surreal for me, bro. what in the worldㅡ "hey!" i greeted him back, "good evening?" i asked, holding my phone down and focusing to talking to him.
yeonjun just chuckled, turned around then started walking back to his spot. i followed him and stood beside him, damn the wind is coldㅡ but what the fuck did i expect? haha. i'm so stupid.
"can't sleep?" he asked me. and for the record, this is the second time we're together at night time. the previous one was at the school trip. "yeah." i answered.
"what a coincidence to be with you tonight," he mumbled. the nervous yet exciting sensation in my stomach was back and i didn't know what to answer by then because i'm always bad at responding (not the first time with yeonjun btw).
"y-yeahh.." i replied but regretted replying just after i replied because i might have made things more awkward than it already is. but yeonjun just chuckled to himself instead of replying so i felt a little less worried. he found me funny or something, i guess?
i pouted and looked away while blushing, but i glanced back to his direction to see him. but because of the not so good lighting up here, i couldn't really get a good sight on how yeonjun's face was going.
i mean, he did confess just a few days ago that he used to liked me in middle school, so i'm sure i'm not the only one who's feeling extremely flustered right now. i meanㅡ damn, this is just awesome in a way.
should i confess as well that i liked him back then?
heck yeah. no more regrets.
"since you told me this the other day.. i just felt like i should tell you something as well," i started off, without even taking a deep breath. i just said it that straightforwardly without even shaking. but in the inside i'm freaking dying of embarrassment right now and wishing that this would just finish in a flash.
"what is it?" yeonjun asked me with a smile, and the nervousness only hit me at that exact moment as i looked away from him. fuck! how am i supposed to say this? i've imagined telling him my feelings a lot of times beforehand now but why am i suddenly being a scaredy-cat?!
"iㅡ uh.." i paused, facing him, then gulped on my saliva first before saying itㅡ "liked you too back then."
the happiness and relief i felt after saying that was so good that i felt like flying, or my mind was flying. yeonjun's facing me as i'm facing him. it just felt really wholesome and overwhelming. and.. damn, it feels good to be with him tonight.
yeonjun just looked at me, like he looked really shocked but at the same time amazed? like he was maybe expecting me to say this before? i don't know how to play this out nowㅡ because what's with that really dramatic yet romantic look?
yeonjun hugged me all of a sudden and i also couldn't react to it yet. because SO MUCH IS HAPPENING! i didn't know anything else to do but to hug back, my breath shaking as i inhale, since the air was also cold. the perfect cold to be hugging somebody right now, and we are hugging.
"i was right.." he said in a slightly muffled soft voice, "so i really wasn't the only one.."
