"I'm sorry…" he said softly.
"Am I a deal or not?!" I wanted to scream. If I could, I would.
"You aren't," he said.
I stared into his eyes, trying to find a single lie. Just one. One lie, and I was done.
But there wasn't.
His eyes… filled with regret, sadness, something I didn't want to feel. I told myself: I won't fall for him.
I won't.
"Have you ever liked me?" I asked.
He didn't answer. Not a word. All the emotion in his eyes spilled out so pure, so raw and all I could do was look.
"I… haven't liked a girl…" he finally whispered.
I felt my heart skip.
"You aren't answering my question… do you like me?!" My voice shook, my chest tight.
He stared at me. Silence. And I hated it. Hated it so much.
I pushed his hand off my waist and stood up.
I tried the door. Locked.
That means… ahhhhhhhhhh!
I glanced back at him. He hadn't moved a single inch.
"The door is locked" he said with a soft sigh.
Oh god. I'm locked in here… with him.
Another stupid day.
"Sucy…"
"Stop calling me that. Not my name."
"Ji-hye?"
How did he know my real name?
I sighed.
He finally walked to me. Calm. Confident. That lazy, dangerous smile on his face.
He stood beside me. Close enough that I could feel his warmth.
"I like you," he said quietly, his voice almost a whisper. "Is that what you wanted to hear?"
