"Just maybe, creating another reality with you isn't so bad after all, Jaemin."
He's persistent and she's stubborn, add some bumpers on the road and it's already one hell of a life story.
He kept on pulling my hand and we ran till we reached the same place that we stargazed together. Both of us were trying to catch our breath since we ran for a few minutes without stopping. I pulled my arm away from him and backed away. "Are you crazy?" That was the first thing that came to mind
He looked up at me and flashed a genuine smile. Tch, why is he smiling like that? Has he have no idea what he just did? "I have something to tell you actually. Very important." He crouched down and eventually sat on the ground with hands both on his legs.
My glare turned into a confused expression. "What is it? Surely, you didn't have to pull me till here?" He kept quiet, avoiding my gaze. "Na Jaemin, answer my question. Don't leave me hanging like this." I sighed. "Did you really mean it? When you said me and Heeyoung look good together?" My eyes almost popped out of my eye socket.
"I don't know, maybe? Why?" Both of my arms were crossed on my chest, eyes still glued on the pink haired boy in front of me. "I don't like it. I hate it when you say that." His voice sounded embarrassed. I tilted my head to the side, still not getting what he was trying to say. "Huh?" Jaemin looked directly into my eyes out of the blue.
"You really don't get it, do you?" He chuckled slowly, still not believing me. I scoffed and ran my fingers through my hair. "Either you get straight to the point or I'm leaving." My tone was hard and persistent. I can't just leave Shimizu there, with Taehyun. "I like you." As soon as those 3 words came out of his mouth, my face felt immediately hot.
"W-what?" He smirked and got up swiftly, pulling me into his arms with one hand wrapping around my waist and another stroking my hair softly. "I like you, Kang Y/N. I like you, a lot. I like you so much, it's suffocating myself each second when I don't tell you. I like you, it's driving me crazy. I like-." My hands gripped on his shirt tight.
"That's enough!" I yelled and hid my face in his chest. Damn you, Jaemin. You can't just confess to me like this, not when I myself, has fallen for you. "I like you, Y/N. From our first meet, you intrigued me so badly. You once told me in your sleep that you want to escape reality, even if its just once. With you being with me, I can make that possible for you. I'll make you smile, I'll make you happy, anything as long as you're with me. I won't let anything harm you, not when I'm around. You might just ask me what do I like about you? Everything, Y/N. I like everything about you from head to toe, inside and outside." He whispered one last time into my ears. I blushed hard, my head feels dizzy. "I-I-you can't just do that!" I hit him with my knuckles, making sure he can feel the pain.
"Do what?" He smiled teasingly. I rolled my eyes, realizing I was still holding onto him. "So, what's you answer?" I stayed silent and thought to myself. Those memories of him replayed back in my head, each different ones everytime. You caught me there, Jaemin. I smiled unknowingly and unclutched his shirt.
His black orbs were fixated on me. "I like you too." My voice was so quiet, so low. He stared at me blankly. Did he hear me? Should I say it again, more louder? I cleared my throat and said it again. "I like you too, idiot." This time, I'm pretty sure he can hear me. Still, no answer. What, was he just playing with me? "I like you too, Na Jaemin!" I yelled with my eyes closed.
Slowly, I hear him laughing and little by little, his laugh got louder. "What the hell, you laughing about?" I turned away and clicked my tongue. "Guess, you're not so smart now, are you?" I frowned slightly. "I was just pretending not to hear you, idiot." He pulled my chin towards him and kissed my nose ever so lightly.
"I've always wanted to do that." He giggled and poked my cheek. This dumbass! I flicked his forehead and started to walk down the hill alone. "Wait for me!" He yelled and ran to catch up on me while slipping through his slender fingers with mine, intertwining them together. I blushed again, I don't think I can get used to this type of affection.
"So, where are we going darling?" His voice laced with a hint of tease asked me. "What do you mean by we? And what did you just call me?" I looked at him, unbelieving he could be so bold. "Darling. I just called you darling, darling." He repeated it easily and squeezed our hands a little.
"I'll call you dumbass, then." A wide grin appeared on my face. He pouted and stopped in his tracks making me stop as well. "No, call me something else!" He stomped his foot like a child. "Idiot, then? Or maybe strawberry?" This time, it's my turn to tease. "I hate them, and strawberries too!" That's right, he dislikes strawberry flavours. "Beggars can't be choosers, you know." I whistled in a sweet tune.
He sighed and pat my head. "I accept that, then. If that's the nicest nickname you have stored in for me, so far." He giggled and continued to walk downhill, swinging both our hand together. "Na Jaemin, you weirdo." I uttered under my breath before sneakily stealing glances at him.
OMG finally, their together HAHAHAH. Btw I didn't include the scene when Y/N told Jaemin she wanted to escape reality hehe..
