Chapter 212 - Push and pull (1/2)

Hearing Taehyun's sudden outburst of feeling, Jinhee was shocked. She did not know how to react to his feelings or do at this moment. The entire time, she had been thinking of herself.

She never put Taehyun or how he felt towards her into consideration. Everything seemed so natural to her that she treated it all normally. She did not think of what to do with his feelings towards her.

Even when she rejected him, she went back to him again, and in a way, maybe she was being cruel to him. She never put a clear boundary between the two of them. She regarded Taehyun as hers without bothering about his feelings.

At the end of the day, Taehyun was a human, and he could get insecure as well. Taking in a deep breath, she decided to be honest with him. After everything he did for her, this was at least something he deserved.

”Taehyun, I am confused. That's the only thing I can say to you at this moment,” Jinhee said— her voice showing her frustration.

”I know playing this game of push and pull game is unfair to you. After all, you have done a lot for me and I admit that I owe you. You are a warm person, and the first person I would seek comfort from is you, Taehyun-ah. Yes, I am dependent on you, and without you, I am a mess.

I reject you, but I know you would come back to me. So, I don't put much thought into it. Without you, Taehyun, I find myself being incomplete, but I don't know if I love you or am completely dependent over you. No matter what I say, I always want you to be close to me.

I won't lie; At times, you make me nervous and make my heart beat faster. I even find you attractive sometimes. But all of these don't determine whether I love you or not,” Jinhee said.

Jinhee then added, ”I need you, Taehyun.”

Hearing those words from Jinhee, Taehyun's cheeks turned red. He did not expect Jinhee to be that honest. Nonetheless, her answer made Taehyun feel joy. Even if she did not notice it, Taehyun knew that she was close to falling for him.

Holding Jinhee, Taehyun pulled her into a tight hug, and wearing a smile on her face, Jinhee wrapped her hands around Taehyun. Both of their hearts beating at the same rate.

”Jinhee-ah, can you feel how rapidly you made my heart beat with your words? I am really happy. Finally, I can see sparks of hope,” Taehyun voiced out.

”Really? Don't be that confident. It could be that I was lying to trick you,” Jinhee retorted.

”Is that so? Was that kiss to trick me as well? Then, I would prefer you to trick me my entire life,” Taehyun stated.

”Kiss? What's that? Must have been your hallucination,” Jinhee voiced out.

”I have no problem in turning that into a reality, Jinhee-ah,” Taehyun said.

Taehyun then pulled out of the hug, and staring at Jinhee with a serious look, he questioned, ”Speaking about that, should we try it again?”

”Han Taehyun, you're too horny for a seventeen year old. Just go back to your room now!” Jinhee said as a small blush covered her cheeks.

What happened earlier flashed in Jinhee's mind instantly, and the mere thought of that kiss was enough to heat Jinhee up. This was not her first time kissing someone. However, with Taehyun, it felt really different— in a good way.
