Minjeong's POV
Namjoon looked at me, as he slightly crouched down, and leaned in, and that is the exact moment where our lips met.
I closed my eyes, going with the flow, but then I remembered about Yeonjun, and that's what makes me leaned away.
I looked away immediately, and so did Namjoon. He cleared his throat, as he sat next to me on the bed, looking down to his fiddling fingers.
"I'm sorry,"
I turned my head to him, and he looked terribly guilted, as I grabbed his hand, in which he slowly turned his head towards me.
"It's okay,"
"No, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have kissed somebody's girlfriend just like that," he said, standing up from his seat, and left.
I just sat there in silence, and that is when Yeonjun walked in, as he sat next to me on the bed, looking down to my injury.
"You should have been more careful," he nagged. "I know I wasn't wrong when Namjoon wouldn't be able to take care of you, not when you're such a curious and careless and clumsy like this. Namjoon alone is beyond clumsy already, how can he takes care of you?"
I just stayed silent, trying to show him that it kind of saddens me when he didn't come running to me when I came back with a sprained ankle earlier.
"Yah, are you sulking?", he asked, nudging my arm. "Yah, Jeon Minjeong.", he chuckled.
"What?"
"Ah, so you're doing this right now?", he smirked, and before I knew it, I was a laughing mess when Yeonjun suddenly tickles my sides.
"Yah, stop it!", I laughed, my eyes getting teary from the laughter.
"Now we're talking," he smiled. "You should be more careful from now on, you got that?", he asked, as I nodded.
He gave me a warm smile, before leaning in to peck my lips, causing my eyes to widen. Ever since we started dating, Yeonjun never kisses me, not even a peck, and when he just did, I could feel my heart skipping thousands of beat at a time.
"Y-yah," I mumbled, looking away from him, my cheeks reddened.
"I'm sorry, was that too sudden?", he asked, chuckling awkwardly. "I guess it was..."
"No, I'm just...kind of unprepared for this," I told him honestly.
"Well, you better be well-prepared from now on because I'm going to shower you with lots of things like that from now on.", he playfully winked.
"Y-yah! What is wrong with you??", I stuttered, slightly pushing him away, making him giggle.
"The nurse is here, I'll be waiting for you outside.", he said after we heard the sound of someone pulling over not too far from the infirmary.
Yeonjun walked towards me again, and I slightly leaned away, scared of what's coming, "Y-yah,"
"See you, baby.", Yeonjun whispered into my ear, before pecking my right cheek lightly.
"Choi Yeonjun, just get out of here already!", I yelled out of embarrassment, pulling the sheets over my head, hiding my red face from Yeonjun.
"Aigoo, what a cutie.", he chuckled, and that is when I heard his footsteps getting further away.
Only then, I removed the blanket off my upper body, and that is the only time where I managed to breath properly.
"Aish, that dumbass. He didn't even let me breath for a second," I mumbled to myself, my right hand stroking my eventually calmed heart.
"Why? Did I flutter your heart that much?", Yeonjun asked, his head popping out from the door.
"CHOI YEONJUN!!"
-------------------------------------------------
I walked out of the infirmary with a slightly better ankle, and the first person to greet me was Namjoon.
"Minjeong-ah," he said, and immediately stood next to me, his hands holding my arms, making sure I'm okay with every steps I take.
"Namjoon-ah,"
"Hm?"
"Where's Yeonjun?" I asked him.
"I saw him heading to the river just now. Why? Do you want to see him? I'll guide you there," he said.
"Sure, and thank you.", I smiled at Namjoon, and he stopped walking, as I looked at him in confusion. "What?"
"Jeon Minjeong,"
"What?"
"Have I told you this?"
"What is it, Kim Namjoo–"
"Your smile is so beautiful,"
"T-thank you," I stuttered, looking away from him. "L-let's just go,"
After a few minutes of walking, we're now here in front of the river, and Yeonjun could be seen sitting by the river, throwing pebbles into the water.
"I'll leave you both alone," Namjoon smiled sweetly, as I nodded, and he left.
I made my way towards Yeonjun who's sitting calmly by the river, and carefully sat next to him. "Yah, what are you doing here?"
He turned his head towards my direction, as he gave me a small smile, before looking back at the river. "I just needed some fresh air,"
"And you didn't even ask me to accompany you? Yah, Choi Yeonjun. Am I really your girlfriend?", I playfully sulked.
"I don't know, are you?", he replied smugly, and I immediately turned my head towards him.
"Y-yah, why would you s-say that?"
"Minjeong-ah, I need you to answer one question for me. Please give me an honest answer," he said sternly, looking back at me.
"O-okay,"
"Do you really love me?"
I was kind of shocked to hear his question, as I looked away from him, my lips tightly shut, and Yeonjun chuckled, a smirk plastered on his face.
"I knew it," he said. "I knew I shouldn't have gone this far, not when my girlfriend is in love with someone else."
"Yeonjun-ah,"
"I don't get it, if you didn't really love me, why did you agree to be my girlfriend in the first place? Why did you let my feelings for you grow even bigger than it already is? Why didn't you tell me that you never liked me? Not even a bit!"
"WHY?!", he yelled at me, and I was shocked to hear him raising his voice at me like this. Before I knew it, tears are already streaming down my cheeks.
I slowly looked up to Yeonjun, and he was crying too, and it breaks my heart to see him in this state.
It looks like he cried just as much as he did when his parents passed away a few years ago.
"I really am disappointed in you, Jeon Minjeong.", he said, another drop of tears rolled down his damp cheeks, as he walked away.
"Choi Yeonjun!", I called out, and he stopped at his track, and I took the chance to ran towards him, and hugged him from behind.
"I'm so sorry," I cried. "Being in love with someone else was never my intention. To be honest, I was in love with you for the past eight years. Eight years, Choi Yeonjun. Ever since we started being friends, I already happened to like you, and my feelings grew bigger and bigger everyday. But I just couldn't bring myself to say it. I am a coward,"
"Let's just end things between us, Jeon Minjeong.", he said, stepping closer towards me. "Listen to me carefully, Jeon Minjeong."
"From now on, we're nothing more than strangers,"
