One word.
Tension.

That's what remains between us.
That's what the both of us feel right now.
This is exactly what I never wanted to happen. This is why I never tried to confess my heart out to him, despite being irreversibly and strongly in love with him.

We walk together side by side out of the school, after he informed Mr. Han about a severe ache in his head. It probably wasn't a lie though. He must've had it due to my stupidity. I can't help but feel extremely guilty now. I'll be heavily responsible if everything changes between us after this day.

But after everything that happened, I still can't understand one thing.

He kissed me back.
Why?

Is it that...he likes me but really needs time to process all of this? Our relationship?

Or was it just in the heat of the moment? Was it that he just got carried away in the moment?

I don't know. But, I want to know his heart.

Is he willing to open it up for me to read?

It's complicated.

As we walk with our heads hung low in silence with our bags draped on our shoulders,

"Jungguk!"
