Jaekyung accidentally said it. He accidentally got drunk, and accidentally confessed in the middle of it. He remembered, and the worst was, you acted like you hadn't heard him. The boxer thought it was better this way: no strings attached. But it also tugged at his ego.

So, Jaekyung would glance at you, messing up his performance. Why weren't you talking about it? Or fleeing? Anything! But no. It was the usual. Eventually, one evening, he came up to you, clearly pissed.

"Why are you pretending like nothing happened?"

Jaekyung clenched his fists.

"You heard me. Say something back."
