Stealing Your Heart

Amp observed the man before her. “Don’t tell me that you’re into guys… Or else, I just don’t get it. I would say that I’m pretty good-looking, and our social standings are pretty compatible too. Moreover, our parents are good friends. We are literally made for each other- why do you always reject me?”

Tawan sighed helplessly. To him, liking or disliking someone had nothing to do with these extrinsic factors.

Instead, he reckoned affection as something that was pure and unaffected by such external concerns. Even if the other party were a commoner, for example, that would not have a bearing on whether he would like a person or not.

But he had learned that wasting his breath explaining all of these on Amp was futile. Instead, he decided to drop a bombshell on her- albeit it was a lie. “Maybe I do like guys.”

Amp took a step back, eyes widening in horror. “W-Wait, what?”

Looking straight at her, he reiterated, “I like guys.”

Amp was completely struck dumb at Tawan’s statements. For a moment, it felt as if her whole world collapsed.

“S-So, the rumors are true? Y-You don’t have a girlfriend because… Because you’re… “ Amp could barely finish her sentence.

Tawan simply nodded and made a silent prayer that the conversation would end soon.

Another wave of silence followed as Amp processed the situation.

For the lady, the revelation was not exactly an impossible truth to swallow. After all, she had never seen a notable female presence around Tawan all this while. The man was literally a clean slate when it came to such things.

But her feelings prevented her from accepting his words wholesale.

“You know what? Who cares if you’re gay- I’m going to make you straight.” She stepped forward and circled her arms around his. “Regardless of your preferences, it doesn’t change that I like you, and always will.”

Tawan realized he grossly underestimated Amp’s level of persistence.

“Amp… “

The lady covered her ears immediately, predicting that the man was ready to reject her again. “Don’t say anything! I won’t listen. Just know that I’ve liked you for many years, and there’s no one else who can replace you in my heart.”

Tawan pinched his brows in frustration. This is turning him nuts, and he really had no idea how to handle Amp’s fawning adoration anymore.
