Chapter 228: I’ll definitely take you up on that offer
"... I wanted to be alone for a moment and sort out my emotions, that’s why I asked you to leave. I really didn’t mean anything more by it, honest"
So, I told them how I felt and how I viewed their efforts. It also made them feel conflicted that they didn’t know what the next step to take was, so they glanced at each other, wondering who had a way to tackle this situation.
"Then, should we leave?" Seo-Jun suddenly spoke up, his question directed at me. "Is that what you truly want? To be alone right now?"
I nodded.
"Will that help you clear your mind?" He added.
"I wish it does." I said to him. "If I’m alone, I might be able to sort out the hectic and conflicting thoughts I’m having right now."
"Hm, in that case, we’ll leave." He spoke on behalf of all of them. "But if thinking doesn’t help you," he suddenly started walking closer. "If it starts hurting your head then relax. Let it go. Or better still, write them all down and sort them out slowly. This time, I promise not to take a peek." He winked, kissed the top of my head, and then headed out.
I was surprised. Not by the kiss he planted on my head, but by how he promised not to take a peek at my diary if I were to write down in it right now.
To be honest, I don’t trust his words. You know what killed the cat? Curiosity.
And that aside, after knowing they had read my most embarrassing and dirty desires, I kind of... Wish they could read the rest of it and get to know me better since I won’t be able to voice it.
Was that too much?
Was I being selfish?
