[20: pottery? no, more like third wheeling]

[a/n: this chapter would suck real bad, i feel it. and i'm sorry.]

"Really Jisung, pottery?" Chenle said as he eyed the building infront of them.

The two have decided to go to their second date and Jisung chose pottery class. He had no idea how to do pottery and never tried it. But experiencing something new is good, right?

"Yeah, why? Is there something wrong? Do you want to go somewhere else?" Jisung turned his head to the  shorter boy.

"Nothing's wrong, but I feel like we would be really bad at it." Chenle admitted.

"Its okay if we'll be bad at it, atleast we tried something new and fun." Jisung smiled at the boy.

Chenle sighed, "You're right, but first tries will always turn out bad anyway."

Jisung nodded as they made their way inside the building.

"Welcome! Are you here for pottery today?" A lady greeted them with a smile.

"Yes, the owner is actually my friend and I asked for a reservation today."

"I was informed about that, please go to room one where you'll have your pottery class. Ms. Chaehee have been waiting for you." The lady said as she pointed at a certain hallway.

Who's Chaehee?

The two entered room one.

"Jisungie! Its been awhile!" A pretty young lady exclaimed as she went to hug Jisung.

"Its really been awhile..." Jisung replied as she hugged back the young lady.

Chenle just stood there awkwardly, he did not expect a sudden reunion happening right infront of his face.

The young lady removed her arms around Jisung and noticed Chenle's presence.

"Oh, who's this?" She asked.

"My name is Chenle, Jisung's uh-"

What is even our relationship?

"Friend." Jisung spoke up.

"Chenle is my friend." He added.

Chenle gulped, he didn't know what he was expecting but he didn't like being called Jisung's friend. Maybe because they are enemies.

There was a short pause for a while.

"My name is Lee Chaehee. Nice to meet you, Jisung's friend." Chaehee reached out her hand for a handshake.

"Jisung's friend?" That's kind of rude... Chenle rolled his eyes mentally.

Chenle hesitantly reached out for Chaehee's hand as Jisung grabbed Chenle's wrist. Making Chaehee confused.

"Noona, Chenle has a name. He already said it, you can't call him 'Jisung's friend'. "Jisung said, who is still gripping on Chenle's wrist.

Chenle's heart jumped at the sudden action that Jisung just did. He doesn't want to admit, but Jisung looked attractive at the moment.

Chaehee was shocked at what Jisung just said as she lets out a forced laugh, "Okay, Jisungie. I'll call him by his name."

"Good."

(:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅)

"Jisung, you're doing good!" Chaehee exclaimed as she guided Jisung on forming the mud on the steering wheel. Her hand above Jisung's.

"Noona, you're right. I'm kind of doing good!" Jisung smiled as he looked at the mud that is slowly forming into a pot.

Chenle looked at them.

I was supposed to be Jisung's date but now I feel like I'm the third wheel... Chenle sighed.

"Jisung's friend- I mean, Chenle, are you doing good too?" Chaehee asked as she looked at Chenle's direction.

Chenle looked at his work, "Not really..."

Chenle's pot was a mess but he tried his best. Just like he said earlier, first tries will always be bad.

"Do you need help?"

Chenle nodded, "Yes, please."

Chaehee removed her hands above Jisung's and went to go help Chenle.

(:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅)

Their pottery class is over and Chenle must admit, he enjoyed it. Same as Jisung.

Thanks to Chaehee, their pots turned out prettier than they expected. They even painted it for decoration!

The two is now sitting on a swing while eating ice cream that they bought earlier at the convenience store.

They stumbled upon this empty park earlier and decided to get some fresh air.

"Jisung, can I ask you a question?" Chenle spoke up, breaking the silence.

Jisung nodded, "Of course."

"What is Chaehee to you?"

"She's a close friend..."

Chenle slowly nodded his head, "Ah.."

"She's my first love."

Chenle didn't expect Jisung to be this honest with him.

"She always gave me birthday letters when we were still kids..."

"And I cried when she said she's going to New York." Jisung added.

"Thinking about it, I really liked her back then." Jisung chuckled lightly.

Chenle was all ears to Jisung.

Jisung looked at Chenle's direction, "Little did I know..."

"I would fall for someone a lot more harder."
