Wrong Character › Wonwoo ✔

chapter 22

Wonwoo waited for a reaction from jihyeon. He expected a surprised reaction or maybe he had his hopes too high and expected a "me too." From her.

But she didn't move nor had a reaction. She was in the same position and was very very still. What is she supposed to feel? What is she supposed to do? What is she supposed to say?

"Because of this, wonwoo wanted to protect her. He wanted to shower her with love. He wanted to kiss her. He wanted to hug her. He wanted her. But most importantly, he wanted her to love him back. "

Jihyeon bolts up from wonwoo's lap, staring at him with a mixture of fear and confusion. She backs away from him as If he's a diseased person.

However, it seems as if wonwoo didn't notice how scared jihyeon was feeling. He was lost in his  love story and In her eyes as he stared back at her. The prince inched closer to jihyeon and the girl inched back.

There was no escape for the poor girl. Her back has already touched the other side of the couch and wonwoo has already trapped her with his arms.

"Look,wonwoo— "

"Shhh....be quiet my princess," The prince places his finger on her soft lips. "Jihyeon, how about we make our own story together? "

"Jeon—!"

The Prince jerks his head and his lips are pressed against jihyeon's, preventing her from speaking. His eyes are closed while jihyeon's were wide open from the sudden kiss.

The kiss was slow and weirdly ....romantic. How weird. It was so weird of jihyeon to think that this kiss felt probably even better than  having a good nights rest. Just for a second, a small second, she kissed wonwoo back and sneakily moved her hand to wonwoo's neck to push him closer to tighten the kiss.

It felt good. It felt good to feel someone else's lips pressed against yours. It felt good to have your heart beating so wildly and your cheeks burning like the hot sun.

But

Was it the kiss she loved? Or was it  the person whose kissing her that she loved?

She had to. She had to pull away. she doesn't feel the same way as he does for her.

How cruel of her. To reject someone's confession. She had to break his heart and all his hopes and expectations. She didn't wanted to see wonwoo's smile fade away. She didn't wanted to lose her friendship with him. She didn't wanted to do this.

But she had to.

Its either he takes the painful truth and that they (hopefully) still stay as friends.

Or she gives him the beautiful lie and become "lovers".

Jihyeon pushes wonwoo away and rubs away the kiss from her lips. She didn't dare to look up at wonwoo. She didn't want to see the face of pure innocence and pure confusion.

"I'm s-sorry. " jihyeon stutters. As much as she wanted to get up and run out of the library, her legs were too guilty to move away. What is he going to do now? Shout at her? Strangle her to death? Oh god. Who knows?

"Ah... How unfortunate. Its fine. I
....understand. "

If jihyeon had lifted her head up, she would have seen the tears welling up in his eyes. If jihyeon had lifted her head up , her heart would have broke into a millions of pieces as wonwoo smiled the most saddest smile that wasn't doing anything but hurting himself more. If jihyeon had looked up, she would have made wonwoo feel guilty for liking a beautiful Angel like her. If jihyeon had looked up, the both of them would have made awkward eye contact. If jihyeon had looked up, wonwoo would have kissed her again to forget and erase those words.

Thank god she didn't. It would have made everything even worse.

"Come on now. Let's go back."

At 3 in the morning, mingyu groggily goes down to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water before heading back to sleep land.

Before he could even reach the living room, mingyu notices wonwoo who is still awake and switching from channel to channel every five seconds. His eyes looked dead as he stared into the television.

"Can't sleep? " mingyu asked, leaning against the wall.

Wonwoo shrugs. "Kinda , I guess. "

"Uhm, so, well, how did it go? " it referring to wonwoo's confession to jihyeon. "Do I have to return the money to you? I still have it with me."

Just like how he smiled at jihyeon when she rejected his confession , he turned to mingyu and gave him a thumbs up.

"It went well. She accepted me! " wonwoo said with fake enthusiasm and a smile so bright yet so dark.
