jay takes the lead

3

when haewon asks you how studying with jay went, you tell her everything except for the feeling he put in your stomach when he traced his foot up your leg in the middle of the library. you aren't sure how an action so minor could leave you daydreaming about jay park. you want to know what else he would've done if you hadn't spoken to him, almost snapping him out of whatever trance he was in.

you had also planned on leaving the wink part out when you would tell haewon, but you forgot at the moment and let it slip out.

"he winked?!" haewon exclaims loudly in the cafeteria the next day.

"shh," you put your index finger to your lips to shush her.

"Sorry," haewon lowers her voice and leans towards you, "but he winked?"

"yeah, when he left."

"but like, what type of wink? a cheesy wink to annoy you, or like an 'i'll see you later, wink?" haewon wiggles her eyebrows with the second option. "and it better not be the second option."

"i don't know, won." you sigh and lean back into your chair, "it was just a wink!"

"girl, we need to know what type of meaning is behind the wink!"

"why? who cares what it meant!"

"i care! and you should care! jay park cannot be into you!"

"and why not?"

haewon's face drops at your question, "y/n, don't tell me that you like jay park!"

"shhh!" you repeat your action from before, telling her to be quiet. "i don't like jay park." your best friend glares at you, not believing you. "haewon, i would never date jay. i mean it."

"but you would fuck him,"

"what, no!" you shake your head in surprise, "i never said that! where are you getting any of this from?"

"nowhere, i'm just making sure your self-values are still intact."

you sigh, "what does that mean, haewon?" already tired of her over-exaggerating for the day, and it was only noon.

"well, you know what happens when you fuck one from the trio." haewon answers nonchalantly, plopping a fry into her mouth.

"yes, i know what happens; everyone finds out, and i'll get hurt and possibly made fun of by my best friend."

haewon laughs, "that's exactly what happens!" she clinks the tip of her fry to yours and plops it in her mouth.

"well, i'm sorry, but you're not going to have anything to make fun of me with since i am not fucking jay park or anyone in the trio!"

"well, if you do fuck anyone from the trio, i hope you truly think about it before you commit to it." haewon's voice becomes serious as she drags another fry through ketchup.

"i will, won." you nod, raising an eyebrow at her sudden seriousness but not questioning her further.

"Good." haewon forces a smile, shoving her fry towards you so you can meet the tip of hers with your own, cheersing over a plate of ketchup in the middle of the cafeteria over something that will never happen.
