Hearing this explanation, I felt a pang of sympathy. Lisa already had a hard time with her unrequited love, and if it weren’t for my insistence, she would never have reached out to Keith on her own.
However, Keith being so blunt about it must have hurt her deeply. Not only did he not reciprocate her feelings, but he also seemed to be hurting her openly.
Just as I was about to speak up, he interrupted her. “I’m not afraid of trouble, and you can only trouble me.
Huh?
What did he mean?
I was confused, and Lisa’s expression showed she was equally perplexed. “Keith-”
“Aren’t you the one who said you liked me?” He interrupted her again.
Lisa remained silent.
“Since you like me, why are you attracting other men and accepting their affection?” His words suddenly made everything clear.
He was jealous, and he was being very straightforward about it.
Had they not confessed their feelings to each other yet?
Could this be his way of confessing?
I felt a rush of excitement as I looked at Lisa. She seemed stunned by Keith’s directness. “Keith, are you
bothered by this? Are you jealous?
Was it not obvious?
“Yes. If you like me, you should only like me and not be fickle,” he said with a bluntness that even surpassed Brandon’s.
I saw Lisa swallow nervously. “Keith, I do like you, but you haven’t said you like me, so I…”
The awkward silence stretched on for nearly half a minute. Just as I was thinking whether to say something, he broke the silence. “Lisa, why aren’t you saying anything?”
