Mr Passionate

Part 8

I arrived home and immediately got changed into a pretty but warm outfit. I was wearing slim black jeans with a yellow woven jumper. My hair was braided into two plats and I had light make up on.

Seungcheol shouted from downstairs "Let's go" as he was in a rush to get to his favourite game shop before it closed. After I ran out the house with him we set off for the local shopping district.

The walk was short, but we took the chance to catch up with each other, even though we fought a lot we were still pretty close for siblings.

"How's school?" he asked.

"Well, there's this new guy who I befriended. He's really sweet and funny, and I don't think I've seen a day where he isn't smiling." I replied, Seokmin couldn't be more perfect and right now if I needed someone to go to and my brother or Mingyu weren't there, I would go to him. Seokmin was one of the few joys at school which was impressive as I had a bad relationship with school. Could there be a more sleepy place?

"A new guy, huh. Interesting..."

We had arrived at the small game shop. It was a tiny store full to the brim with games I had never heard of. The part timer there was a young handsome man who my brother went to university with.

"Have you got the game I ordered?" Seungcheol said as he immediately made his way to the counter. I often gamed with Seungcheol but some of his games were too weird for me.

"Yep, Alien Dinosaurs VS Tree Man" the part timer, called Jun, passed the game and Seungcheol paid him.

"Hey Jun, I feel like I've forgotten something is there a project in soon?" the look of horror of Jun's face immediately made Seungcheol pale.

"You mean you haven't written the essay due tomorrow morning?" Jun replied.

"ESSAY! Oh shit I totally forgot about that" Seungcheol started to panic and his worrisome face spun to my direction.

"Y/n, I'm so sorry I've got to go, my teacher is gonna kill me. I'll see you at home later, bye." As soon as I had blinked he had already dashed off. Jun turned to me shaking his head and had a look of pity.

After browsing around the game store I left the store to shop at some clothes stores. Usually my brother and I would stay out the whole evening shopping, eating and hanging out. It was supposed to be our day out together and his sudden departure made me sad as it had been a while since we did it last, and now I was alone.

Usually in this situation I would've called Mingyu to hang out but today he was on a date with Wonwoo. If only I had a boy I loved so much too.

"What am I going to do?" I muttered trudging around and gazing at the clothes around me.

"I don't know, what are you going to do?" a voice crept up beside me while a pair of hands suddenly grabbed my shoulders making me jump.

"Seokmin, what are you doing here? I thought you were busy this weekend," I said as Seokmin laughed at my scared expression. He had previously denied joining me to go to the cinema, so I expected him to be busy all weekend.

"I was canceled on, and was bored so I came to town to see what's here" he replied with a full power smile on show, if humans had a weaker heart then this man would be a serial killer.

"There's a cool cafe nearby, do you want to join me?" A new cute shop full of sweet cakes, pretty displays and pink aesthetics had opened up and I had been meaning to try it out and take some photos. Seokmin agreed and we made our way over with light talk.

Once we arrived he immediately opened the door for me and went to order some food at the counter. He came back with our food and was about to eat his chocolate cake.

"STOP!" I screamed thus making many people give me weird looks.

"What?" a rather confused Seokmin questioned.

"We have to take photos first" I answered, watching him place his fork back down where the cake couldn't be harmed.

"You're so cute" he giggled. My face heated up, no one had called me cute before other than family, so hearing him say this made me a little excited. I kept my face down and continued the little photoshoot of the cakes.

After eating the confections we left, and shopped a little more, along with giving him a small tour around town as it was his first time going to the centre. It started to get late and the sun was setting.

"Your house is on my way home, so I'll walk you back" he said leading us out of our last shop.

"Sure, that makes sense" I said and we set off.

Fifteen minutes was all it took to reach my house and I don't know why but a little part of me felt disappointed that it was over. When I opened the door and Seokmin had made sure I was inside, he left. If Seungcheol wasn't here I would have asked him to stay for a while which was unusual for me, as I didn't normally invite people in. I shouldn't be upset, he's only a friend, and I'll see him at school anyway, but then why was there a fluttering feeling inside me when he was around.
