Chapter 201: 48
After that interesting slip of the tongue, Jessica and Jia Hyson decided to part ways for now, not forgetting to exchange phone numbers at the end. Embarrassment aside, it was clear their talk went well and both were confident in the other as an ally.
Left alone in the room, Jia Hyson looks at the phone in his hand, expression hesitant. He opens up the contact list, gaze lingering to a certain name for a few moments before turning the phone off.
Moving to wash both cups, Jia Hyson lowers his eyes to silently watch his hands move mechanically. The water under the tap was hot but he couldn't barely register it, it was as if he was wearing gloves on his hands, knowing but not really feeling. Numb.
"Host… you've stopped moving." Bebe suddenly spoke up.
"…ah, right." Jia Hyson mutters, his hands which had slowly become motionless flexed their fingers before picking up the now clean cups to dry on the rack.
"Bebe," Jia Hyson breathes out deeply, but it wasn't enough to ease the stuffiness inside him, "I regret it a little bit."
He felt unwilling to say it but to the system who was his closest companion, Jia Hyson still admitted it. Even so, just having the words come out made him feel ashamed and bitter and ugly.
I regret it.
Regret falling in love.
