Pretending

Chapter 17

Jongin woke up, groaning as he covered his eyes from the bright light,which was coming through the curtains. He sat up slowly, head aching than ever at the slightest sound of birds chirping outside. It was a seemingly a sunny bright day but not for someone who had a bad hangover. As he was sitting on the bed,head in his hands, Jongin felt his shirt sticking to his chest,in sweat,and realised,as he looked down that he was wearing a different shirt from what he put on last night. And that was when everything hit him,though,slowly.

He confessed to Kyungsoo. He told Kyungsoo the three words he had been avoiding to say. He CONFESSED to Doh Kyungsoo.

"Fucking hell" Not very a good word to start the day but seriously,he just fucked up everything. His breathing quickened as all the events from last night came back in  a flash. All he could do was now to decide whether he was gonna act like a fool and pretend not to remember anything or just continue his confession from last night. Jongin actually nearly did go with option A.

But he decided to be brave and let it all out. What could be the worst thing? Rejected harshly by Kyungsoo,telling him he already had someone he loved. Hahahaha

He heard sounds outside which meant Kyungsoo might be out there for sure since it was their day off. So he inhaled deeply last time as he braced himself and opened his bedroom door.

"Hyung--" He started when he found the older in the living room and Kyungsoo turned to him immediately with a smile. A smile. Oh how he would like to start his all mornings with a smile from Kyungsoo and it would all be perfectly perfect if he could just sweep the shorter in his arms too.

Jongin got distracted by his own daydreamint and even forgot how he was even going to start. But before he could do that,Kyungsoo started a conversation. So nonchalantly.

"How's your hangover?" Jongin blinked several times before he fiunded words in his mouth again.

"Uhh bad, headache. But abit okay now." His words came out,stuttered.

"Do you want anything? Coffee? Juice?" The tanned male walked slowly towards to where Kyungsoo was. The elder was acting weird. Like nothing had happened last night. Like Kyungsoo didn't even remember what Jongin told him at all. But that was impossible.

Unless..... Kyungsoo decided for his option A,to pretend nothing happened. Because he didn't want to hear Jongin's feelings. Maybe he was feeling awkward.

Jongin decided to put a halt to his confession. He would only start on it when Kyungsoo spoke about last night. And as a result,Jongin felt weird. And really awkward too. They both stayed in for the whole evening.

Jongin in the living room,watching some tv series (which Kyungsoo said was good before) while Kyungsoo was in his room,doing god knows what,only came out to go to the toilet or to get water. He seemed to paid no attention to Jongin,who kept staring at him everytime he came out.

"Oh you're watching that!" Kyungsoo claimed from aside when he finally noticed his favourite TV series playing on the flat screen.

"Uhh Yeah." Jongin mindlessly replied,playing with the remote in his hand.

"Do you like it? Which episode are you at--"

Jongin stood up to his full 6' height, towering over Kyungsoo who was standing at the side of the sofa. It was so sudden that Kyungsoo was caught off-guard as he stepped back alittle in surprise.

"Hyung,you really didn't remember what happen3d or what!?" Jongin couldn't hold it in anymore. He just had got to ask. He was to explain everything the moment the older brough up the topic. But the latter didn't. Instead he was all smiley to Jongin and acting normal. Jongin loved Kyungsoo's smiles. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life. But he  could rather guess when the older was forcing it,like what he had been this whole day.
