Find how out I feel •Hoonki•

Chapter 9

He turns around to see a familiar face. Park Daeun.

Daeun was from his class, she was a cheerful and popular girl in his grade.

"O-oh, um hey Daeun..." he replies, Lord give me strength-

"Hey..." she says shyly. "Was the letter from you...?" he asks, wanting confirmation.

"Yeah," she replies, looking away shyly.

Riki didn't know what to reply.

He would have never thought it would have been her out of all the people in his class.

"So... would you like to be my boyfriend, Riki?" she asks.

Riki avoids eye contact.

What should I reply...

"I-... um, I guess we can try out?" he answers.

wait-

"Oh! That's fine... Are you free today?" She asks.

"No..." "Tomorrow, then?"

"I-..." He hesitates, "I don't know yet."

She sighs. "It's okay, just tell me when you're free."

She waves and leaves Riki alone.

The said male is confused,

He never paid much attention to Daeun.

He also doesn't want to break her heart.

God... What should I do!?

He lets out a sigh and leaves for the cafeteria.

Rumors spread out fast, in less than 2 hours, the words are spreading.

"Did you hear? Daeun confessed to Riki!"

"Omg, really!? I can't believe it... What did he answer?"

"No one knows. Most say that he accepted. Some say that he likes someone else. Specifically-"

The student whispered the answer,

Riki couldn't hear it.

He groans.

"Hey, you good? What's going on?" Jungwon asks.

"Rumors..." He replies. "Yeah, Daeun confessed...."

Riki sighs at the mention of her name. "Should I give her a chance? I mean I never paid much attention to her so I don't what to feel."

Jungwon shrugs. "That depends on you, Ki. I can't help you with your feelings."

"Do you know who it is? The one that people think I like." Riki asks.

"No one told me. They're also keeping it from me."

Riki just wants to disappear. "I don't like all this attention on me..." He mutters as he packs his things.

"Me neither. It's so weird to have everyone pay attention to you because of some words..."

"Do you wanna go out with the others?" Jungwon asks, "to take your mind off all of this attention?"

"I don't know.."

"I think I wanna spend some time alone. I don't even know how I'm feeling anymore."

Jungwon nods, "Okay, I'll tell the hyungs about it. Rest well, okay? Just call one of us if you need anything."

Riki nods, "ok"

Riki writes his essay as he tries to distract himself.

What should I do...

he hears his phone ring.

"Hello?" He answers,

"Hey ki, how are you?" The voice asks.

"Hey hyung... I'm doing well, why do you ask?"

"I heard about the rumors," Sunghoon replies.

"oh... Yeah," he mutters, "I- I don't know what I should do."

"I know it can be hard but why don't you do what you think is right?" The latter replies.

"Hyung... I don't know what to do." He answers.

"What do you feel?"

"Confused." He replies. He hears the older laugh. "Try going out with her and sort out your feelings, alright? I think it'll help."

But what about...

"I'm sure she'll understand, we can't force our feelings, now can we?"

"No..."

"Mhm, so go out with her, once or twice, maybe until you sort out your feelings, alright?"

"Okay..." He replies. "I'll try to help you sort your feelings out, okay? Now good luck with your homework."

"Goodnight hyung, thanks."

"Goodnight Ki."

Riki sighs. "Maybe... It wouldn't hurt,"

I wrote this during my lights out- sorry if it's shorter than usual
