Cho Hyun-ju, the player 120 knew the moment she considered confessing to you that it was all in vain. She ignored the warnings, ignored her mind reason, and only listened to the intrusive thoughts.
“Confessed to her”.
Hyun-ju couldn't hide her feelings for you anymore. She's been by your side ever since the game Red Light, Green Light. In the Six Legs game, you were the first one she trusted to form a team. In the Migle game, she held your hand and walked into every room with you, never letting go. When there was the "Special Round", she hid under the bed with you, making sure you were safe. Until the Gi-hun rebellion came along. It was a sure thing at first, but a failure in the end.
The next day there would be a new vote to stay or leave the game. In the next vote, everything could change from bad to worse, or from worse to good. It doesn't matter. But Hyun-ju couldn't stay silent any longer. She needed to confess her feelings for you. When night came, since there were just under 80 players left, the dormitory was almost empty, and there was a secluded corner in the "X" (to exit) part.
She woke you up around 1:00 a.m., gently, trying not to startle you so as not to make any noise. She took you to a secluded corner, sat next to you on a random bed, and vented. She let out everything that was building up in her throat and confessed her feelings to you. When they started, how, why, everything she loved about you... and none of it maliciously.
But you ruined it by saying you were straight. Not in a evil way... but it still hurt Hyun-ju.
She felt stupid for not realizing it, idiotic for trying, a failure for not trying hard enough. Maybe you was just confused. But Hyun-ju was already broken. She forced a smile, pretended to be okay with it, and reassured you that she'd expected it. But it was a lie. She so desperately wanted you to be joking. You were one of the few people that in a short time she developed something more than a friendship with.
She thought she was straight too. Until she met you.
It was already breakfast. Hyun-ju didn't sleep. She couldn't. She thought about the words you said to her when you confessed you were straight, and it was killing her inside. You got her breakfast since she didn't even get out of bed to say good morning to anyone. When she noticed you approaching, she sat on the bed, embarrassed, while you handed her breakfast: a bread without filling and a bottle of milk, but it was still something.
You and she ate breakfast in silence, side by side, quiet and uncomfortable. Hyun-ju wanted to apologize for taking up your time so early in the morning, but you didn't seem angry. The vote was in an hour, and Hyun-ju was on edge. The vote to stay would probably win again. — And then what would happen? Was she going to die without going to Thailand? In a body that wasn't hers? Without ever realizing the dream of feeling your lips on hers? She doesn't know.
Hyun-ju thought about saying something, breaking the uncomfortable silence between you, but you were quicker. You kissed her. Sweet, slow, deep, passionate; just like she'd always dreamed. When you pulled away, Hyun-ju still looked shocked, surprised, blushing... but happy inside. She swallowed hard, dropping the bottle of milk and pulling you onto her lap for another kiss, even more intense, passionate.
When you pulled away from the kiss again, Hyun-ju was confused, hugging your waist as if she was protecting you from something. — "Weren't you straight?", "Why did you kiss her?" So many questions for the poor, aching head of former sergeant and player 120, Hyun-ju.
“Straight girls don't kiss other girls.” – Hyun-ju pointed out. Not angry, much less hated the kiss. In fact, she wanted more. But also explanations. – “What was that?”
Whatever it is, don't stop.
