Matchmaker's Match

All's well that ends well

Back at the court...

Nayeon, who was prettily dancing with Minhyuk, did something that she didn't expect to happen.

And this suddenly too.

After they both arrived at the prom hand in hand, Minhyuk asked her to dance with him, which Nayeon agreed to. He pulled her close to himself and gave her his most sincere smile.

"You look beautiful tonight, Nayeon, "he complimented.

Nayeon smiled, saying, "Thank you, Minhyuk. You look great too."

"Well, it was my duty to match my date, "Minhyuk replied and carefully tugged Nayeon close by her waist.

Nayeon gasped a little at the proximity and gave him an awkward smile, saying, "T-That's good."

Minhyuk smiled and leaned a little closer while swaying side to side with Nayeon. His minty breath brushed against her face. Minhyuk lifted his palm and cupped her cheek, saying, "I really am happy that you're here with me, Nayeon."

"M-Me too, Minhyuk, "Nayeon replied hesitantly.

Minhyuk rubbed his nose against Nayeon's, whispering, "I really really like you, Nayeon."

And pressed his lips against hers for a chaste kiss. Nayeon stared at him with wide eyes and abruptly pulled apart, pushing him away slightly. Minhyuk looked at her with confused eyes, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you kiss me?" Nayeon asked, staring down at him with sharp eyes.

"Why not? We're dating each other, Nayeon. It's fair for me to kiss you, "he innocently replied.

"But, I didn't permit you, yet, Minhyuk, "she replied, clenching her fists.

He stepped forward to get ahold of her, but Nayeon raised her hand, stopping him from coming further.

"Stop right there. You don't have any right to kiss me and now, even touch me."

Minhyuk scoffed at her reply and asked, "Then, who has the right? If not me then who?"

"Y/N! She has the right to kiss me or touch me. Get it inside your brain, Minhyuk, "Nayeon said while pointing her finger at him.

Minhyuk stared at her for a few moments and then chuckled out. He clapped his hands and said, "I knew it. It always was Y/N, isn't it?"

"What?"

"In these days, whenever we were together, you always talked about Y/N, "he said, "Y/N this and Y/N that. I thought that it was just the best friend's thing but when you started telling me about her little habits, and what makes her happy. I knew that something was going on."

Nayeon stared at him in surprise, asking, "H-How did you..."

Minhyuk smiled at her and replied, "It's not that hard to see, Nayeon. It's all in your eyes. You love her dearly, don't you?"

Nayeon nodded and looked down at her feet. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and guilty. She felt like she used him to get over the feelings, but it didn't help. At all.

"I do. I love her the most."

"Then, go get your girl. I'll support you from behind, "Minhyuk said as his eyes glistened in neon lights.

Nayeon reached forward and pulled him into a hug, saying, "I'm sorry, Minhyuk. I really am sorry. I'm sure that you'll find someone who is right for you."

Minhyuk squeezed her and said, "I hope you're right..."
