Felix continued persisting him and I sighed in relief. After a lot of their effort he finally said yes.
But then, he insisted to stay at inn. He thought, it will be inconvenience to us. As he thinks, arriving without information it will cause some trouble. But it's none of his concern. If Felix is allowing Hyunjin to stay at his room, he can't say no to Seungmin no matter what!
He said that we already have extra futon which we use while watching movies. He can adjust no matter what. He persued him until he said Yes!
Looking at him caring for other, he really is tender person. It was just a day, not even complete. But he was close to Seungmin more than me now. He have already asked questions about his preferences in food, drink and a lot.
And the time when Seungmin accepted defeat, it was already evening. We went for a walk bordering on close, as we were dog-tired by our supplemental task. I wanted to pass but it's great chance for me to hang out with Seungmin. (So greedy of me)
We four walked in pairs. Seungmin stayed with me as Hyunjin had a lot to jabber about to Felix. Continuously looking at back involving me and Seungmin in their chat. Rather than watching Felix and Hyunjin I was only observing Seungmin.
Carefully not allowing him to notice, not wanting him to feel awkward. Not letting him know I'm only watching him. I was seizing the day, the moments in my eyes and feelings in my heart.
We walked slowly as we didn't wanted to use much force. And I enjoying moment with my crush, was noiseless.
Seungmin in-between asked about the stuffs in here, and I answered him without hiding any fact. The First conversation of mine in the absence of third person.
As we were walking we saw Felix and Hyunjin paused in front. They screamed and asked if we want to have an Ice cream. It will be uneventful, if we don't enjoy ice cream in cold evenings. And so, Felix went to buy Ice cream.
Hyunjin was standing there, seeing which Seungmin followed Felix. (Of course he is more mature than him. He should have walked with Felix.)
We two stood here watching them leave. Hyunjin looked toward the street lamp which was just going to ignite.
I followed his gaze, the streetlight and then the sky with setting sun. The icy winds in surroundings, making ourselves to stupefy in this twilight.
For those harmonious seconds we were eyeing the reckless sky but potraying our thoughts over there. He said,
"The evening sky always makes me to write my dairy over there. To mesmerise every moment I had today. To mesmerise this evening more than anything!" He paused for a moment.
"And to wait for moment like this again. When we stare at the same sky, I should rethink of this things I have done today. That I lived that day, To think we lived this moment before. And remember about, I have spend my day with special someone." He chuckled
"So that no other day can bring this joy even if the color in the sky returns?" I Asked.
Every word of his, and my hearts were in uniform. And when he said the last line about special someone, I could not stop myself saying that.
After which he and I looked at each other, with blank expressions. I realised he was saying something sentimental, to which my heart was responsive. The feelings were same, yes it was. Or there were no way I could have felt them. But why was Hyunjin saying.
He too realised he had said something spontaneous. And my expressions said it clear, I was feeling the same.
He slowly said, "ya, Eun Seoyoon!"
I with same expression said "ya, Hwang Hyunjin!"
"We were on same page!" He said.
"I guess." I nodded.
We were staring at each other for a moment. I took his hand withdrawing from there, walked toward the trees. It was walkable area beside the woods. I needed a moment to talk with him. As if they return it will take time to find us.
He followed without reconsidering. Our mind just allied, not in thoughts but in feelings. It was clear sign he talked about someone special, to be called beloved. And who was that beloved, I wanted to know. He can not say what I'm thinking. He is not allowed.
"What you meant by that Hyunjin!" I asked him letting his hands go.
"I should ask you too!" He replied.
"You need to clear your words first" I said.
"You need to say it first." He argued.
I gave him a fierce gaze speaking nothing, and he answered.
"How can you do this to me. Look I don't know what you understood by this. But for me...." He paused. Looking at his wrist.
A clear appearance of love on his face! Lowered eyes with faint smile. May be blushing or just the colour of sky is reflecting.
"Felix is such a sweetheart that I really feel I can never live without him." He said with shyness.
For a moment my heart skipped. Hwang Hyunjin, are you saying you like Felix?
It was air or his sentence made me shivery.
Like means that like? Did he confessed his love just now? To fall in love! But you two aren't that close enough. Do Felix knows about this! Are they in relationship?
My gaze was fixed at him. While my mind was in another world. Looking at him with shocked expression.
"No, no, no, no, no" he said shaking his hands vigorously. To bring me back in conversation.
"It's not what you think." He gave little slap on his head.
"Hyunjin, you like Felix. Right?" I asked him.
And my voice was giving all that possibilities what questions I have in my mind.
"Oh wait a second will you." He grasped his breath.
"I'm not talking about anything romantic. Please." He said.
"I'm ain't opposing you. You don't need to be ashamed of." I said.
But why did I said that. I just wanted him not to feel awkward. But my way of saying was way too odd. Was he resisting his feelings. Was he embarassed!
I just wanted him to say things clearly. If he likes him. Who am I to oppose! To say he can't love him.
"Eunsoo, listen first!" He forced his voice.
"I ain't talking about anything. As I said he is someone special in my life. Just like Seungmin. Whom I want in my life for forever. To whom my bond of friendship can't be explained." He forced each and every word of him. And I listened quitely.
I don't want to be misunderstood, nor do I want Hyunjin to be afraid of me. Whatever he feels he is free to feel. But I questioned myself should I really think of in that way. I can fight with my thoughts later, But for now I need to calm him down.
"I got it!" I said. Making him to relax.
His face showing nervousness. Smiling hesitately. He too was confused. When he said that, he realised something. And that was moment for me to get puzzled and him too.
"You were so happy about having Felix, right?" I smiled.
I can no longer think of this like, not as love. But Hyunjin need his time. To organise his thoughts and his feelings.
"I told you, right! Felix is a person who should be in everyone's life. And he is angel. right?" I asked him to confess. For now, to let him settle down.
I don't know what it will cause, but for time being let me say this words. In order to have his immature self back.
"Yes, I'm so happy about having him in my life. I have a lot of friends but like him I love to cherish the most." He said.
And I found some of his colors returned to his face.
"That's good." I smiled. "I hope I can be one among them, you are talking about." I said just to lighten the mood.
"You are!" He said looking at me.
Am I? I talked to myself.
"Felix says you need to admire the thing, your loved one admires. So that you can understand them. And make them feel comfortable about it." He continued..
He does says such thing. When he always try to learn new things if someone of his friends have tried just to make sure they didn't feel left alone. But why is that statement useful here?
"And so, I can't abandon you. As Felix loves you so much." He added.
I gave him a look. A look of dissapointmemt. Before I could say anything we heard Felix's voice calling for us.
May be he was there from some time and seeing we finally laughing called for us. As we walked toward the road Hyunjin asked,
" And about whom you were talking about?"
I laughed and said whispering, "Your best Friend"
He was looking shocked but he let it hidden as it won't be good if Seungmin knew. And I secretly requested him to hide the fact.
