Chapter 44: The feeling of his lips on mine still lingered
I was speechless. Beyond speechless. Was that a confession just now?
Wait, he must be delusional because he’s sick. There was no way...
"Hyung," Seojun called and I returned my gaze to him. "Do... Do you hate me for confessing? Do you hate me for liking you? I... I really want you to like me back. I’ll do anything. I..." He hugged me, dropping his head on my chest.
His arms were tightly wrapped around my waist so even if I wanted to get away from his hold, it was impossible. For a person who was weakly sick, he sure has a lot of strength.
I let out a sigh. I was actually calm. So calm that I wondered if I had heard what I just heard.
I was supposed to be flipping over in fear and confusion but I wasn’t doing that. I was just taking the situation lightly and considering the patient who was being delusional.
’I know they both like me.’ I thought, stroking his hair. ’But I could never imagine it to be the emotional and sexual kind of like. He’s not in his right sense right now. I should consider that.’
Those were my thoughts. Finally, I was reacting like the adult I was and not getting swayed by feelings of both body and heart.
"Your temperature is still high." I said. "You should eat the porridge and go back to sleep."
"Hyung, are you...?" He stopped and lowered his head. "Never mind."
I wasn’t reading his eyes or his mind, but I could tell, from our situation, that he wanted to ask if I was brushing the topic aside because he was sick. Well, of course. What did he expect me to do?
