Confession or Confusion

Nia was crying on the terrace. " The guy I like hates me. Why ? What did I do that makes him not wanna see my face ? "

She spent a lot of time in the terrace. The cold breeze gave her peace. She calmed out " It's good that it ended early. I would be more disheartened if I spend more time with him. "

Nia took a deep breath and went to leave but she saw Kris coming. She avoided eye contact and was leaving but Kris hold her hand.

" Can we talk ? "

Nia wanted to say " What do you want now ? You shouldn’t talk to a stalker like me who invade in your life. " But Nia became numb seeing Kris. She just followed him like a puppet and sat beside him. He looked at the sky. It looks like he was about to reveal one of him secrets to Nia.

" I said lots of harsh words to you. I didn’t meant it. "

Nia didn’t knew what to say. She remained restless. " Why did you say it then ? "

" We spent a lot time together. In a small amount of time we became really close. "

" You don’t like spending time with me ? "

" No..you're one of the few people I like being with. You make me comfortable but..... "

" What ? "

" I'm scared. "

" Of what ? "

" Losing You. "

Nia heart started beating fast. Is he confessing his feelings for Nia ?

" I don’t get it. "

" I was always alone. My dad was busy in his company. My Mom was busy in charity. I had some friends but life happened. We lost contact. I decided to stop depending on others for emotional need. I have katy for few years. I'm fine. Then you came. You're so loud, lively. So different than me. Yet I like being with you but you'll leave too. That's why I wanted to set boundaries between us. "

Nia had a mix of emotions. She was happy that Kris likes her but sad that he feels like that.

Nia saw Kris being relieved sharing his thoughts with her. Kris point his head at the sky and closed her eyes. Nia touched his hand then hold it. Kris looked at her. She felt shy so she looked in the front " I'll not leave you. "

" You said you'll move out when you'll be 18. "

" Plans can be changed. "

" When I saw you touching my guitar. I saw happiness in your eyes. "

" Kris, we don’t know the future. If we connect everything to lead something. We'll go crazy. Instead of you thinking you'll be alone. Why don’t you enjoy the time when you’re alone ? "

" Everyone leaves me. I should just be alone. It'll be less painful. "

" You're wrong. Maybe people leave you because you shut yourself. If you open your heart to others. They won't leave you. "

" How can you say that ? "

" I'm the proof of that. You opened your heart to me. I can't leave you even if I try. "

" Not everyone is like you, Nia. "

" But your heart is also rare. I'll go now or else my eomma will start yelling. And are we still fine ? "

Kris said with a smile " You're my friend. My life will go dull without you. "

" By the way you were sick but you look healthy. "

Kris did a nervous laugh " Well, sun rays are good for health. "

" Aww, are you calling me sunshine ? "

He pointed at the sky " I meant the sun. Not you. "

" Hmph. " Nia cris crossed her hand and pouted " I'm still angry with you. "

Kris stood up " I'll be sad. Don't be angry. "

He's taller than Nia that's why he bended a bit and got closer to her face. Nia blushed seeing Kris's face so closer again. Nia was happy but last time he got close to her they had a fight. Nia pushed him lightly " Don't tease me. "

Kris offered his hand forward " Let's go. It's getting chilly now. "

Nia hold his hand like a little kid hold a candy. She started giggling " I'm your sunshine. "

Nia and Kris went to their respective house. She closed her door and her heart started pounding and she started panting. " What happened ? Did he confessed to me ? He likes me. No, we're friends but which friends talk like this. He definitely likes me. "

Nia lied down on her bed hugging her pillow tightly. She started remembering Kris's face and his words.

" I'm afraid to lose you. "

Nia called Lyla. They were both losing their minds as they started talking.

" Are you kidding me ? He said all these things to you. Oh My God Congrats Nia. "

" I know right. I feel like jumping up and down. Yelling on top of my lungs. My first crush likes me. He's the biggest introvert yet he's so comfortable to be with me. He likes me so much. "

Lyla stopped getting excited and her tone changed " Wait, I just remember he's an introvert. "

" So ? "

" Nia, don't be upset. Maybe he didn’t confessed to you. He just sees you as a good friend. "

" How can you say that ? I have guy friends. Do they talk to me like that ? Do Myungsoo ever said something like this to me ? "

" Are you comparing Myungsoo with Kris ? " asked Lyla

" I'm so stupid. It's an insult to Kris to be compared with Myungsoo. "

" That's the point, Nia. They are different. Kris said these things to you as a friend not like you're thinking. "

Nia's pounding heart sank " It's true. Kris is such a nice great guy. He won't like me. "

***Does Kris really likes Nia or he just think of her as a friend ?
