I like you, Miko. More than just as a friend. More than just our late-night conversations, our stupid inside jokes, and all the times we've made fun of and movies together. I like you.
Lily
...
James
Please say something. Anything.
Lily
I don't know what to say.
James
Do you feel the same?
Lily
I... I don't know.
James
Oh...
Lily
It's not that I don't care about you, Jin. You're my best friend. You've been there for me through everything.
Lily
I just- I'm scared.
James
Scared of what?
Lily
Scared of losing you. Of messing this up. What if we don't work out? What if this ruins everything?
James
But what if we do work out? What if this makes everything better?
Lily
And what if it doesn't?
(Jin sighs)
James
Miko, I'd rather take the chance than spend my life wondering 'what if'.
Lily
I just... I need time.
James
I'll wait. However long you need. I just couldn't keep pretending anymore.
Lily
I don't want to hurt you.
James
You won't. Just be honest with yourself, and I'll be here.
(Miko nods slowly)
Lily
Okay. Can we just... keep things the same for now?
