007

hyejin felt her heart stop as she stared into youngmin's eyes, simply processing the question. biting her lip she looked down to their hands before taking a deep breath and answering as she forced herself to meet his gaze

"no..." panicking at the flash of hurt that crossed through his eyes she quickly continued "i mean i'd be more than happy to have you as my boyfriend! its just... I don't know... I'm scared....the thought of being with someone has always scared me but i really do feel the same way about you i promise!" looking down with a frown hyejin tightened her grip on youngmins hands "and i know this is selfish of me but if you're willing to wait and stay by my side.... I'm sure i'll get over this fear" eyes drifting back up to youngmins she turned red and quickly spluttered out "you don't have to though! you're your own person and what i asked was really selfish i'm sorry"
youngmin stared at hyejin with a soft smile as he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss onto her forehead before pulling away "calm down dawn" letting go of hyejin's hands he scratched the back of his neck nervously "i actually kind of expected you to say no but i still wanted to ask. I'm fine with waiting for you, besides we barely know eachother" his soft reassurance brought a smile to hyejin's face as she leaned up and placed a quick kiss onto youngmin's cheek

"thank you for understanding, we can take things slow for now" smile widening, hyejin grabbed youngmin's hands once again "if your free right now, we can have a date night" her suggestion came out soft and quiet as if she was unsure of her own words. blushing youngmin nodded as a bright smile made it's way to his face "that sounds perfect but what would you like to do? I'm off tomorrow as well so we can do whatever" his somewhat excited voice immediatly calmed hyejin down from her growing anxiety as she felt the tenseness in her shoulders leave.

"we can watch a movie? I can make us some popcorn and since it's late you can stay over" processing what she had just said, hyejin turned red as she continued "i mean you can sleep in my bed tonight and i'll sleep in one of the other rooms so it won't be too much of a hastle..." figuring she was just making everything worse she quickly cleared her throat before turning to the kitchen "i'll get the popcorn started, you can find us a movie"

youngmin let out a soft laugh and made his way to the livingroom, plopping down onto the couch he grabbed the remote and turned on the tv. scrolling though the netflix movies youngmin let out a soft hum before picking one of the newer movies; it was an animated movie called bubble and it looked cute. just as youngmin picked the movie, hyejin had finished making the popcorn and came back with a large bowl and two cans of arizona tea. taking a seat besides him, hyejin set everything down on the coffee table "i don't have any soda so i hope you're fine with tea instead"

"that's fine, I actually prefer it to soda"

"what movie did you pick?"

"It's called bubble. It's a new animated movie"

smiling hyejin got comfortable on the couch and leaned against youngmin's chest effectively causing him to wrap his arm around her shoulders "i've been wanting to see this movie so bad" hyejin admitted softly either ignoring or not realizing youngmin's flustered state.

clearing his throat, youngmin pressed play while mumbling a small "I'm glad"

it was quiet throughout the whole movie, both of them just paying attention to the detailed animation and powerful storyline though once the end credits started playing that's when youngmin realized something. something very crucial to the moment.

hyejin had fallen asleep on him.

smiling softly youngmin pulled hyejin closer and kissed the top of her head before turning off the tv. getting as comfortable as he could without waking hyejin he drifted off into a peaceful sleep. the smile not once leaving his face.
