Stray Kids Imagines

When he confesses but you're best friends - Jeongin

Jeongin and you were inseperable. You were so close and knew eachother for years, staying as best friends and only as best friends.

But eventually, you grew feelings for him. You denied it at first but you realized that you really did catch feelings. Not wanting to ruin your friendship or make it awkward, you kept it as a secret. He never knew, but you also didn't know that he liked you back.

"Innie!" You exclaimed as he opened the door to your house.

You throw your arms around him and welcome him warmly as you were about to have a sleepover.

Your parents had gone on a business trip and they told Jeongin to take care of you since they know him well. The sun was setting and he made it before the streetlights turned on.

"Do you wanna go to my room or should we stay in the living room?" You ask him as he took off his shoes.

"Hmm, let's stay in the living room for now," he replies. "Why don't we watch a movie?"

"Sure! You can pick one out while I make some popcorn." You head to the kitchen, beginning to make the popcorn.

You finish after 8 minutes and head to the living room where you saw Jeongin laying back on the sofa with a blanket around him as the movie started.

"Come here, let's share the blanket," he smiles cutely and opens his arms to you.

Smiling back, you take a seat next to him as he wraps his arms around you. You place the bowl infront of you both, making sure that it wouldn't fall and get all over the sofa.

"What movie did you pick?"

"...The lion king."

You giggle at his choice and turn your attention to the tv. It was going how it would normally go. Both of you just focusing on the movie while eating popcorn. But after a while, you felt him become nervous.

It sounds weird since you can feel him get nervous, but you knew him too well. He was distracted and stopped eating popcorn as well as no longer paying attention.

"Hey innie? You okay?" You nudge him worried.

"Huh? Oh yeah.... I'm fine," his eyes stare off into nowhere and you knew there was something on his mind.

"Do you want to tell me what's bothering you?"

Jeongin blinks and snaps back to reality. "I would, but I don't know if you're interested..."

You hold his face in your hands and look him dead in the eyes. "It doesn't matter if I'm interested or not. You can tell me anything, understand? Now spill."

He sighs in defeat and nods.

"I want to confess to this girl I like, but I don't know how...."

You felt a pang in your heart and you bit your lip.

So he already likes someone...

You knew that you had no chance with him, but knowing that there's some other girl in his heart, it hurts. But if he really likes her, then you're willing to move on.

"Oh... well, I don't know much about romance either so I guess I can't be any use to you...." you gulp and try to hide the sadness in your voice.

"Well, if you liked someone, how would you want them to confess to you?" He asks with a small glint in his eyes.

"Me?" You start to think about how you wanted Jeongin to confess.

"I want them to be honest with me. To tell me straightforward yet make the moment sweet and unforgettable. They don't have to plan anything big, just telling me before I lose hope would be enough..." your voice slightly cracked at the last sentence.

"Before you lose hope? Like, before you stop thinking he'll like you back?" He watches your expression closely and you slowly nod. "Okay, then I guess I should confess soon."

You felt tears prick your eyes and you wanted to cry, so you made an excuse to leave temporarily.

"Oh, my charger's in my room and my phone's about to die. I'll be back in a minute," you forced a smile and quickly went upstairs.

Closing the door, you plop down onto your bed and looked at the ceiling. Feeling the tears roll down your cheeks, you didn't bother to wipe them as you knew they wouldn't be stopping any time soon.

"Of course he wouldn't like me back. We're only friends. That's all we'll ever be. Should I just give up?" You ask yourself, expecting a silence but instead, a voice answers.

"Dont give up. Because if you do, then I can't fulfill your wish."

You sit up startled and look to see Jeongin by the door, smiling like he always does.

"W-what are you talking about?"

He sits next to you and moves your hair out of your face with one hand before placing it on your cheek.

Your breath hitches as he slowly leans in, softly pressing his lips against yours. Your eyes flutter shut and you gently kiss back.

Once you both pull apart, he turns slightly red due to embaressment.

"I like you y/n. No, I love you. I want to be with you, as more than just friends. And I don't want anyone else. So will you be my girlfriend?"

You continue to cry, but through the tears... you smiled.

"Yes... yes I'll be your girlfriend!" You hug him and bury your face into his chest.

"I'm glad you confessed, Innie."
