Chapter 4: Friendzoned

A week passed and Kang joon's been avoiding me all these days. The only thing that goes through my mind is the kiss we shared and the question, does he regret it?

Right now I'm my usual class that I like to call fighting class. We're practicing with our swords and we were allowed to choose partners, I quickly grabbed Kangjoon before he escaped from me.

"At least fight with me..." I said pulling him to our ring.
"Fine." He answered.

We strided forward together, with me clinging to his arm making sure he wouldn't leave me. I pushed him slightly so he could get in position as I did as well across from him.

We stood in position and I went on full force attacking him. He had a pretty good defense but so I decided to try to play a little trick on him that I always play and get him.

I started to slow down letting him attack me and I tried my best to dodge and block his hits. The sword made a swoosh sound next to my ear. That was a close one. He was going all out on me until I couldn't really keep up, my plan backfired and I fell to the ground.
My sword landed to the side and Kang joon held his next to his side. My hair was all over the place, making me looking sort of like a cave man, well maybe not that exaggerated but that's how I felt.

He was being kind, which I appreciate but this time I will have to take advantage of his kindness for an answer.

Beads of sweat rolling off our foreheads and our chests heaving.
He stared at me and I went for it, he let his guard down and this was my time to strike, sticking my leg out and tripping him.

His sword rolled to side far from his reach and I quickly got mine and held my sword towards his neck. I was straddling him and he just looked at me trying to find a way out.

My hand clutched onto his sweaty t-shirt making a tight grip.
"Tell me." I said sternly as I blew a strand of hair out of my face.

"What?"

"Don't act like you don't know! Tell me, why are you avoiding me?! Do you not remember? Do you regret it?"
I said slowly losing grip on him.

He pushed me back so that he was straddling me and the sword was pointed towards me now.
"I remember..."

"Then?!"

"I don't regret it. I've been avoiding you because... because I'm afraid." He said while getting off me.

He sat down with his arm over his knee. I sat up and looked at him," Afraid? Of what?"

"You, I'm afraid of losing you. Of me, I'm afraid that because of me I won't be able to protect you just how I promised."

"Kang joon..."

"I'm sorry for avoiding you... I'm sorry for kissing you. Its I just couldn't  control my self any longer."

"I'm sorry for underestimating you..." I said looking down,"what do you mean couldn't hold back any longer?"

I looked back up to him.

He let out a soft chuckle,"I couldn't stand my friends looking at you anymore, I couldn't stand Hyung-Suk being all over you anymore, I couldn't stand not being jealous anymore, from restraining myself from you."

I was left speechless, I wanted to tell him how I felt too but the truth was, I was afraid as well, I was afraid of losing him, of losing our friendship. I know that if I don't tell him now I will regret it. I don't know what to do...

I was just there speechless, I wanted to say something but nothing would come out.

"Let's just put this behind us and continue how we've been. Okay?"

I looked at him and spoke to him with my stare, I wasn't trying to put you in the friend zone although that might be the best. I didn't mean to break your heart...

I'm sorry Kangjoon, I'm so sorry.

He helped me up and we continued fighting.

I may have ruined this moment but I won't ruin our friendship. I may have another chance... or another option which is just to move on a forget about him.
