"Come back!"
Lin was about to walk away when he heard her crisp, crystal clear instruction. Her gaze didn't look too friendly as she pointed at him to sit back. He did so dutifully and watched her.
Then there was silence. She surely didn't want him to leave but also didn't know what to say further. She could feel her voice jam in her throat as if there was some obstruction.
"S-So…" she opened and closed her eyes, trying to form a string of coherent thoughts after the bomb he dropped. "Are you…confessing to me?"
Which immediately made her feel dumb. He was asking her to have a crush on him. Obviously, he wasn't asking as a friend.
"I am confessing the part where I see you differently. And I want you to see me differently too. We know some things about each other and some don't. So I want to start with knowing your checklist."
She choked, heart hammering in her chest. "I-I don't have any checklist. I didn't have one for a long time."
"Because of Sir Jin?"
