Chapter 271: TABLES ARE TURNED
FINALLY, Cho Euntak and Baek Jeho were alone.
He kicked out Kim Heedo, Yang Jaewon, and Kwon Gaon.
The "witnesses" had already done their job, so it was time for the trio to leave.
"So, everyone was right— you really have feelings for me all this time," Cho Euntak said, leaning against the backrest of the seat while crossing his arms over his chest. "And, yet, you kept dating other people. How cruel."
Baek Jeho’s face turned red as if he were embarrassed. "Yah. It’s not like that. Can I be honest? Even if it means hurting your feelings?"
"You’ve been doing that all this time, jerk."
"Ouch."
"Go ahead," Cho Euntak said, nodding. "Let’s see how you’re planning to hurt me this time."
Baek Jeho frowned, but that didn’t stop him from bearing his honest thoughts and feelings. "I know from the beginning that I don’t see you as a mere friend. Yes, I’m aware that I have a crush on you. But that’s what scared me. My feelings, at that time, weren’t strong enough that I’d risk our friendship just to date you. Back then, I was scared I would fall out of love with you and ruin our friendship forever."
To be honest, Cho Euntak didn’t know what to feel while listening to Baek Jeho’s explanation.
He could see where his friend was coming from.
Even so, he couldn’t help but feel a little hurt.
