Chapter 2

After 3 solid minutes of hugging and lights flashing in every direction, I caught Seokjin standing in the corner of my eye, proudly smiling with his family. It looked as if he was busy talking to someone, but I couldn't seem to see who since reporters were surrounding us, blocking my full view.

I gestured my parents if I could go to Seokjin, to talk about what he said earlier before the match, as it had been bothering me. Separating the hug from my parents, I quickly ran to Seokjin, with the crowd of reporters chasing after me. But suddenly a girl who stood directly in front of him rushingly hugged him. Stopping me frozen, in an unknown feeling of sadness.

Trying to recognize who the person who just hugged him, the reporters caught up to me and then once again crowded around me. Mic's being shoved right at my face, camera lights flashing every second, I started feeling lightheaded and a rather unusual loss of balance.

"Sorry, but can I have some privacy, you can ask questions to my coach." I requested, bowing respectfully to the group of men and woman.

In an instant the cameramen and reporters, said their apologies and headed their way to Mrs. Choi. Once as I had my sight back with nothing flashing on my face, I couldn't seem to find Seokjin where I last saw him. So looking around, I saw him with the girl that hugged him sitting on a chair with him. Respecting his privacy, I started walking away back to my parents. Then unexpectedly, Seokjin called for me, shouting my name loud for everyone to hear.

With now eyes on me, I embarrassingly speed walked to him.

"Siwoo, meet my older sister, Jin-ae" Seokjin flashed a smile at me.

"Jin-ae this is Siwoo, Siwoo this is Jin-ae"

Looking at Jin-ae they both look exactly they same but just different genders and ages. How did I just find that out.

"Hi Siwoo, I have heard a lot about you! I have been abroad, but I have heard a lot about you" Jin-ae stood up, taking my hands and shaking them.

"I can't wait for you to be my sister in law!" She laughed. Causing my checks to become red and hot.

"Noona!" Seokjin punched his sisters arm.

"I guess my baby brother right here hasn't confessed yet." Jin-ae cheekily smirked at me and grabbed my shoulders, making me sit right beside Seokjin.

"I am going to give you both some privacy! Just saying I would like a nephew, but a niece is also cute!" Jin- ae spoke out before leaving to go to her parents.

With a flushed face, I immediately stood up and faced a direction trying to avoid eye contact. But before I could take one step away, Seokjin took my wrist, bringing me back to my seat. We sat there for a while in complete silence until Jin's confession somehow brought me in pure happiness.

"Siwoo, I-I like you!" Seokjin stuttered bringing me to his attention.

Due to his sudden confession, I was speechless, I didn't have much to say. All I heard was my pulse beating faster and faster, my checks were starting to get hot, and an inability to speak. I don't know what was happening to me but surely I know that I am happy.

"Siwoo, you may have mixed feelings right now! But please let me chase after you, if you don't catch any feelings after 2 years. I will leave you alone. Siwoo I don't want you to look at me in a weird way, but I genuinely like you a lot" Seokjin exclaimed.

Still not able to process what is happening I let all my feelings and emotions take full control of me I eventually said "Yes, make me fall in love with you!"

With my response, I turned to Seokjin and kissed his right cheek, "Bye!" I blushed, running away to my parents.

Looking back at Seokjin's direction, he was smiling as he placed his hands on his right tomato cheek.

Turning my head front, I saw my parents huddled close with smirks on their faces, and standing along side them was Mrs. Choi with a familiar expression. "Wasn't that Seokjin? Is he your boyfriend?" Mrs. Choi asked patting my back.

"No" I rubbed my neck with my hand.

"Then why did you kiss him on the cheeks?" Dad questions.

"You saw that?" I exclaimed.

"Don't worry! I was wondering when If I was ever going to get a grandchild. I guess I don't have to worry anymore." Mom laughed.

"Anyways it's time for the interview!" Mrs. Choi reminded, bringing me to my seriousness state.

Walking to the podium with Mrs. Choi right by my side, I could already see Seokjin being interviewed. So we both locked eye contact, and broke it as soon as I stood right beside him to face the camera's.

With questions rushing at me, I tried answering them with the best answers I can provide.

" Can you please introduce yourself to the camera!"

" Hello, I am Jee Siwoo!"

" What can you say after receiving the most fastest time this season for your category?"

" I am very proud of myself, I hope to do better next season!"

" Can you say anything to the camera?"

" I like to thank my family, my coach and I would like to say that it was great versing the other swimmers."

"There was a rumour saying that you were going to retire and that this was your last meet. I this true?"

"Yes, but then I came to realization is that swimming is what's keeping me alive! It's my true passion"

"What would you like to work on regarding your performance on water?"

"Focusing on the moment, but nothing much really!"

"And lastly what is your relationship with Kim Seokjin?"
