part five:

Jay wasn't usually the type to freak out over little things but this statement was invalid in this situation. The black-haired male was on his bed, laying on his back with the biggest smile on his face. Thoughts and feelings mixed together as he imagined all of the things that could possibly happen in the following day.

"Okay slow down, what happened?" Sunghoon asked. Jay, Jake, and Sunghoon were on FaceTime and the older was in a daze while trying to explain to them why he was all flustered. (DAZED~ DAZED~ DAZED~) "Yeah slow down, and explain SLOWLY" Jake had a pen in his hand, writing down something in his notes.

"I asked him..." He paused only to hear Jake squeal. "ASKED HIM OUT?!" Jake said loudly, covering his mouth right after. Sunghoon didn't say anything but watched with intensive eyes, listening closely. "No, no, no. But I asked him if he'd like to go to the dance with me" Jay confirmed, watching Sunghoon smirk and Jake smile.

"Please tell me he rejected" Sunghoon joked, trying his best not to laugh at his best friend's face. Jake and Sunghoon were still getting used to the idea of Jay liking someone, after all, they've never heard about any crushes the older would have. Possibly, Jungwon was the first?

"He—He actually said yes" Jake clapped with a bright grin on his face, it was obvious he was cheering on Jungwon and Jay. Sunghoon's expression changed to show his shock but he quickly smiled at him. "That's great Jay-ah, now, please help me with history homework" Jay rolled his eyes.

Jungwon stared down at his feet and then towards the little dog sitting at his heels. "Maeumi~" He called out softly, squatting to pet through his white fur. (I think Maeumi is a boy, I think 🧍‍♀️ Please correct us if we're the wrong :p) It was already late at night and he was busy finishing off his homework. He shouldn't be worrying too much with the dance being on the following day but he was anxiously pacing around his room.

And that's when it hit him. He has know Jay for a while now but he still didn't have his number on his phone, they never cared to ask each other before. Jungwon sat back down on his bed and lifted his dog to lay beside him, constantly raking a hand through the soft fur. "Maeumi, I don't even have his number" He spoke softly, reaching for his phone. His dog simply stayed quiet, looking up at him with those adorable beady eyes.

He was about to go on his phone to go through social media when he looked up to see the time. It was already almost 1 am, he needed as much rest he could get. Not only did they still have a full day of school, but he would also need to stay back at school after school to make late changes before everyone would arrive again for the dance.

Like every year, the Valentine's Dance was 3 hours after school, at 5 pm. So he'd basically be at school all day. Jungwon let out a sigh before standing up to turn off his light, jumping up to lay on his bed. He tossed around for a few minutes before he found the perfect position, closing his eyes.

"Jungwon-ah, someone is waiting for you outside!" Jungwon's mother, Mrs. Yang called from the front door. The said male stood in surprise, staring at his room wall for a few seconds before he grabbed onto his backpack and phone. As he rushed down the stairs, he pushed his phone into his pocket and walked the rest of the way to his mother.
