He let out his hand. I stared at it in awe. I held my breath, grinned, and happily took it. Jungkook did the same with Jenny, who grabbed his other hand. Then together, we bowed in front of the audience. The cheering became louder.

It was my time to shine, I thought to myself as I closed my eyes and smiled.

....

I sighed happily as I walked through the hallway. I even skipped a little as I traveled to the dressing room- I was just so happy. Jenny and Jungkook were both swallowed by people and fans who were crowding backstage, so I decided to leave them be.

"Hey, Rian!"

I spun around and to my surprise, I see Jinyoo running towards me. He rushed towards my side and grinned. "You were amazing! Everyone is talking about you!"

I widened my eyes. "Really? Wow..."

"Seriously- you did really good. And, well..." he paused and looked at my dress, "you look really nice too"

I looked down at the dress. "Ha, really? It was this random dress the teacher gave me, I don't even know who it belongs to-"

"I love you"

I blinked and looked at Jinyoo. He stared at me with intense, sparkly eyes. It reminded me of the first time I introduced myself to him; at my first day of school when I was being a jerk to him for not leaving the door open. I remember how he stared at me angrily with those rich chocolate brown eyes.

"Jinyoo?" I asked.

"I love you. I don't know what it is about you, but I think I'm in love with you"

I stared at him as my insides slowly crippled smaller and smaller. No...

"Jinyoo..." my voice cracked a little. "I-"

"I didn't like you at first, but slowly over time, I started getting feelings for you. And now I can't stop thinking about you"

"Jinyoo..."

"You don't love me back, do you?" He asked bluntly. I couldn't even look him at the eye. I was stupid. So, so stupid.

"Is... is it Jungkook?" Jinyoo whispered. I looked at him with apologetic eyes.

"Yes..." I whispered, looking back down. "I'm so, so sorry" I whispered. Jinyoo didn't say anything.

"Jinyoo?"

"It's fine" He calmly turned around and walked away. A small tear formed in my eye. What have I done?

"Jinyoo, wait!" I yelled. Jinyoo ignored me and continued to march away furiously. I stood still stupidly- should I run after him? What would I say if I do? I can't make a stupid excuse for why I rejected him.

I rejected Jinyoo.

Jinyoo asked me out.

I couldn't even think straight- it was all too sudden. Since when did Jinyoo start to have feelings for me? Am I just too naive to realize? Was it the right choice to reject him? He was my best friend. I don't want to lose him- he was the one who stood by my side since the beginning of the year. Even when I was a jerk, he stayed with me. He never left.

I didn't realize the tears running down my cheeks until one dropped onto the floor. I looked down and stared at the tiny droplet. Should I run after him? Did I make a mistake?

"Rian?"

I spun around in shock. Right in front of me was Jenny. She widened her eyes when she saw me.

"Are you... crying?" She asked. I looked down and quickly wiped away the tears.

"Why are you crying? We did an amazing job!" She claimed, raising her hands up.

"I wasn't crying" I cleared my throat, still looking down at the floor. Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Alright what happened?" She asked. I shook my head.

"No- nothing..."

Jenny paused for a moment. "You know, I saw Jinyoo walking past me. He looked mad"

I pursed my lips. "It was nothing"

Jenny groaned. "Alright, if you say so..." she spun around and walked away. I sighed. At least she helped me to stop crying. When she was out of sight, I looked up at the ceiling. I suddenly thought of my mom.

"Did... did I do the right thing?" I asked softly as I closed my eyes.

....

Hey guys! I know you all hate me, it's been a while since I updated >.<

But what do you all think about Rian's decision? Was it the right choice? Comment and let me know what you think!
