Looking at Jisoo directly was already enough to make Jiwoo flustered, but then he had to go and say something like that. Whatās more is when he just continues on as if he hadnāt just said anything. Jiwoo stops, slightly needing to lean forward when Jisoo attempts to continue walking, not realizing Jiwoo had stopped yet.
āYouā! Why do you insist on continuously forgetting what I say? I already said that when you say something like that, you canāt just expect me not to say anything back!ā Once he finished scolding Jisoo, he cleared his throat nervously and walked in front of him. Fidgeting with the end of his jacket, he had to work up the courage to actually look at Jisoo directly again.
āā¦A-Although youāre probably the most irritating cat Iāve met, I⦠love you as well. I canāt⦠say anything like that, since I didnāt really care about having my wish granted in the first place, but I will say that youāre not allowed to give up your wish. Even if you do lose, and we both forget what we were doing here in the first place, I know youāll be able to do something about it.ā
Despite his words being meant as something uplifting, he was hit with the sudden realization that theyād both lose in the end. Neither of them wanted Heejung to fall in love with them. He hadnāt realized how bad that would be until nowā once they lose, theyāll forget everything that happened to them here. Theyāll forget about falling in love with each other, and theyāll forget about these moments. Likely, theyāll just end up as they were before, wanting to get away from each other.
He had planned on just continuing walking after he had spoke, but his thoughts made him not want to budge. What was the point of doing all this if they would just forget no matter what? Jiwoo stepped forward, setting his forehead down on Jisooās shoulder. He didnāt say anything about his thoughts, but he suddenly wasnāt up for watching a movie. He wanted to be able to talk to Jisoo; to be with him.
