MINE || 2JIN

Hyunjin's POV

I hissed when my finger came contact with the hot baking pan. My girl is into baking these days and I'm trying to bake a cake for her to celebrate for finishing the finals. It is also a week since we last saw each other after the dinner here in my place but we message each other everyday.

I finished my exams yesterday and now I don't have anything to worry about anymore while she's currently taking it.

"Aishh it's burnt again" I throw the oven mitts on the island counter and let out a frustrated groan.

"I told you to just buy some cake outside" Minju said while eating the other failed cake.

"I said I want to make one for her" I wash the baking pan again then dry it and cut parchment paper to put on the pan. I pour the cake batter in it and put it in the oven.

I just hope it works this time. I lower the temperature and join Minju in eating the not burnt part of the cake.

"Anyways... What's the label? Still friends?" she looked at me and drink her pepsi.

"More than friends" I said and get the another cake. There's actually so many failed cakes, I think it's about 6.

"So..... Best friends?" she said and I snorted. I just don't understand why my sister and friends are more excited for the label than me and Heejin.

"Why don't you just ask her out formally? Come on unnie it has been like 4 months? 5 months? Since she started chasing you and she's also lowkey courting you, you know?" I just chuckled at Minju.

"I really like her for you, mom and dad also like her for you, she also takes care of Hyumin well whenever you bring her with you. What the fuck is wrong with you huh? Just ask her to be your wife already" she's so impatient I swear to god

"Why are you making her wait for so long?"

"That's the point, Min" I said and take a sip of my coffee.

"Huh?"

"I want to make her wait to see if her feelings for me is going to change too just like what happened to Dahee"

"I just can't afford to get hurt again" I added and bring my attention back to the cake. She went silent and I chuckled. I want a person who's constant, certain and patient enough to wait for me. I want someone who will never get tired of waiting for me and the one who will understand me even at my worst time. The one who will stay through my ups and downs.

I'm not ready to get hurt again yet I still let her have the ability to hurt me but base from what she's acting towards me, I feel like she will never hurt but who knows, right? I shake those thoughts off and decided to focus on the cake again.

I wear the oven mitts again and poke the cake with a toothpick. Oh it's done! I took it out and wait for it to cool down before decorating it with the help of my sister.
