A strained silence fell on us for a while. My heart was thumping so much and I felt like it would burst out of my chest any moment.
I clenched my jaw.
Do I have to do this now? Do I really have to answer?
I don't want to. I don't think I want to.
But if I run now, if I make up some kind of excuse and run from the question now... Will I be able to confront it the next time I'm asked? No, would anyone even take up the courage to ask me a second time?
Now that the question is laid out in front of me... Now that my opinion is being sorted out, albeit forceful, but genuine... Should I still run?
Seo-Jun stared at me and so did Min-Cheol. He had a little sweat drop rolling down the corner of his face as if the pressure hit him more than it did me.
This discomfort he felt, he knew that I probably felt a larger cold of it and wished I didn't have to push myself.
He turned to Seo-Jun, his eyes narrowed as he planned to tell him off, but for some reason, he couldn't do that.
