mint chocolate scent (sunki)

no letter 9

Niki's POV:

"Uhh, I-I c-can ex-explain," I panicked when I saw Sunoo standing in front of me.

"I-I..." he started to speak, but I cut him off.

"I tri-tripped at yo-your locker," I excused hastily.

"Wow, so opening my locker and putting a letter inside is you tripping? That's quite the story, Riki—I mean Niki," he said, looking at me with an unimpressed expression.

"Ju-just r-read the letter I put in your locker—byeee!" I said, and the bell rang, indicating the start of classes.

"Wow, my secret admirer is Riki—I mean Niki," Sunoo muttered to himself, blushing. "Thank God he's not ugly—well, he is ugly—ugly pretty." He opened his locker, grabbed the letter, and decided, "I'm going to read this later," before heading to his classroom.

Sunoo's POV:

"Hyung, you're late," Jungwon said as I sat beside him.

"Well, I just found out who my secret admirer is," I replied, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Who is it, Hyung? Is it Niki?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"H-how d-do you k-know?" I asked him, feeling shocked.

"Well, the acronym 'NK' means Niki. How did you not figure that out?" he said, rolling his eyes at me.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I whispered angrily.

"You didn't ask, duh," he retorted.

"Ugh, so you knew all along who my admirer was," I said, feeling frustrated.

"Ugh," I groaned, trying to focus on the lesson.

Niki's POV

"JAY HYUNG! HE KNOWS, HE KNOWS!" I shouted at Jay Hyung when I saw him by his locker.

"What? Who knows what?" he asked, looking like a zombie. He probably stayed up all night doing something.

"Sunoo knows I'm his secret admirer," I said in a whisper.

"Oh wow—WAIT, WHAT? HOW DID HE FIND OUT?" he shouted, causing everyone in the corridor to look at us weirdly.

"Shh, Hyung, you're embarrassing us," I said, and he calmed down.

"So how did he find out?" he asked me.

"Well, I made sure no one was in the corridor, but somehow I didn't see Sunoo," I explained, and he laughed.

"You're stupid, Niki. But what did you say?" he asked.

"Well, I told him to read the letter and that we'd meet after class," I said.

"So you're not joining me later to go home? That's fine, Niki," he said with a smile, and I smiled back.

"Now I'm going to confess to him," I said, and we both walked into our classroom.

Sunoo's POV:

"Gosh, I'm so excited! You're lucky that Niki likes you," Jungwon said after finishing reading the letter.

"Yeah... but I'm nervous, Jungwon. W-what if it's a pr-prank or something?" I panicked.

"Shush, don't think about that, Hyung. I know Niki isn't playing with you," he said with a reassuring smile.

"Y-you s-sure?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Yes, and finally, you're not SINGLE ANYMORE! WOOHOO, MY FRIEND IS NOT SINGLE ANY—" I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth to silence him.

"Can you shut up, Jungwon?" I said, looking around as people stared at us weirdly.

"Later, don't wait for me, okay? You can go home first, or maybe wait for Jay Hyung," I said, and he blushed hard.

"Wh-why did you say the l-last p-part?" he asked, and I smirked.

"Well, both of us won't be single anymore after today," I said, and we both laughed.

"Good luck, Hyung! Fighting!" Jungwon said as he left the classroom.

"I think this is it," I said, walking out of the classroom and heading straight to the rooftop.

I opened the door and saw Niki standing in the middle of the rooftop, looking at the sky.

"I'm happy you decided to meet me," he said, and I blushed.

I didn't know why, but I couldn't speak at that moment.

He turned to face me, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Sunoo, I know we don't know each other well, but we've seen each other every day for the past six years. In those six years, I realized something—that I like you—no, wait, I love you. Sunoo, you're the sun to my moon. Will you be my boyfriend?" he confessed, handing me the flowers.

I looked at him and smiled.

"Yes, Niki, I want to be your boyfriend," I said, tiptoeing to peck him on the lips.

He pulled me back and kissed me again, a passionate kiss.

"Wow, your lips taste like mint chocolate. I love it," he said, and I smiled.

"I love you, Niki," I said.

"I love you too, Sunoo," he said, and we kissed again.

Third Person View:

"Wow, that confession sucks," Jay said from the rooftop door.

"Yeah, that's the worst confession, EVER," Jungwon said, looking at Jay, who looked back at him.

They stared at each other for a whole minute before someone spoke.

They were there because they wanted to watch the confession between Sunoo and Niki. They had met on the staircase and decided to watch together.

"Just kiss already," Sunoo said, laughing while Niki smirked at Jay, teasing him.

"Yah, Sunoo Hyung," Jungwon said, chasing Sunoo.

"So you like Jungwon?" Niki asked, and Jay punched him on the shoulder.

"Just shut up," Jay said, blushing and looking at Jungwon, who was chasing Sunoo.

"Maybe..." Jay whispered, but Niki heard it.
