Chapter 4: The Answer

Jung Haneul's POV

"This banana is approximately 6 inches, I think," Ari said, almost sounding like a whisper, as she observed the banana on her hand. The three of us looked at her weirdly. Why the hell does the size of the banana matter to her? "Not bad," she added as she nodded to herself, still observing the banana.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Eunmi asked in disgust as she was also currently eating a banana. In fact, she still had some that she is chewing at the moment.

Ari chuckled. "Oh, sorry. I blurted that out. I thought it was just in my head."

"What was that anyway?" Chaerin asked as she ate her banana by stabbing it and cutting a slice with her fork.

I looked at the banana that was in front of me which I also haven't peeled open yet. Now, I don't think I want to even eat this banana anymore. Ugh, why does Ari have to say dirty things randomly? I get that the four of us are open in that kind of talk but hello, we're eating!

"Nothing. I just suddenly thought of what my last ex told me after seeing this banana," Ari said nonchalantly. "He said he was 6 inches, erect," she even shared TMI.

I sighed in frustration and suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ari was the one to stand up and look who the person was since she was the closest towards the door even if the 4 of us are in the dining area.

"Haneul, it's your bananㅡ I mean your man," she said and even laughed at her mistake. I only shook my head in disbelief before standing up to come out and meet Namjoon.

"He's not my man," I still told them even if I already have said that a hundred times.

Oh, speaking of, I haven't returned his jacket to him yet. I always forget to wash it because I sleep on it since he allowed me to borrow it. I mean, it's just been a week.

Okay, maybe I should really wash it and give it back to him.

"Hi, what's up?" I asked as soon as I opened the small gate of our house.

He lifted a paper bag to show it to me. He also had a really cute smile which made my cheeks flush. He's so cute! I just want to pinch his cheeks and dip my fingers on his dimples! "We thought we'll give you guys some fruits. Our parents dropped by earlier and gave us a lot."

I accepted the paper bag and thanked him but an awkward silence then surrounded us. I pouted because I hated the thought in my head even if it's true. Though I'm not sure if the awkwardness is just within me or he also feels the same way but ever since I had the realization of having a crush on Namjoon, I could no longer act so normal. His presence makes me extremely happy and I'm having quite a rough time hiding that and concealing my feelings.

Yes, I do like Namjoon.

I like him and I haven't told my friends nor to anyone else that I do. I'm still shy about it so I'll just let the flow of events take over until the time comes that they find out. Besides, this feeling may just go away. I always find myself not having crushes for a long time. My shortest was an hour or 2 and my longest was a year.

"Uhm, about your jacket, sorry for forgetting to give it back. I always forget to wash it," I told him. He nodded but what he said next made the already-existing pink tint on my cheeks turn a shade darker.

"You can keep it," he said casually and smiled wider.

Good thing that it was night time so the blush on my cheeks would not be as evident as they could be if it were to be day time at the moment. I'm not yet ready for Namjoon to know that I like him. Probably this crush thing would eventually fade so he shouldn't know.
