admire || yang jungwon

twenty seven

it was raining. of course, she had forgotten her umbrella again and was awkwardly standing under the last of the covered area. everyone walked past her opening their umbrellas and running to catch up with friends or to just get out of the school already, but she couldn't do that. just as she was about to make a run for it, a blue umbrella appeared above her head. she looked up to see a boy at least ten centimetres taller than her. jungwon was standing there looking into the rain. then he turned to face her. he casually brushed his hair out of the way and smiled.

"i just thought you didn't have an umbrella."

jian couldn't do anything. she slightly nodded.

"where are you going noona?"

she looked up at him, confused as to why he wanted to know.

"i'll walk you there."

"it's okay though ... "

"you're going to get wet? so where?"

"um, just to that cafe then."

he smiled and then spoke once more, "if you don't mind, cause the umbrella's a bit small."

he gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder and brought her closer. she felt her cheeks starting to become warm. she didn't even have to see in a mirror to know that her face was red. her heart started racing like crazy, scared that he could hear her heart beating. but she wasn't the only one nervous. the boy had been shocked by his own actions. he didn't even know where such confidence came from, but a part of him was glad that he made such movements.

they were walking slowly, enjoying the moment. anyone would have judged them considering their pace was extremely slow, but the two were lost in their own world. the cafe that should've only been a five minute walk, took them double that to get to and even then, they were disappointed that it was the end.

jian, wanting him to stay just for a little longer asked him out, "jungwon, do you want to stay with me in the cafe for a bit? just until the rain stops?"

the boy looked at her nodded eagerly. she smiled and they walked in together, simultaneously thinking i hope it doesn't stop raining.

"we'll have an iced vanilla latte, a hot chocolate and a slice of red velvet cake please."

the waiter nodded before hurrying off.

it was warm, but she couldn't tell whether it was because the actual cafe was warm or because the boy sitting across her at that moment filled her heart with warmth. there was no way she could deny that she didn't like this boy. it had been months and she never realised that one day she'd come to accept that she had indeed fallen for the younger one.

she stared his features, observing the defined visuals and the way he looked cool when brushing his fingers through his hair.

"noona?"

"hmm?"

"you okay? you've been staring at me for a while."

she looked away in embarrassment, "oh yeah. i'm fine jungwon."

her cheeks flushed, while jungwon just smiled at the sight of her.

"noona?"

"yeah?"

"what's your ideal type?"

the girl mindlessly said, "yoon jeonghan."

the boy looked at her confused, "jeonghan sunbaenim ?"

the girl nodded. the boy slumped a bit in his chair, slightly discouraged by the girl's response. but then again, he couldn't not agree to her answer. if he were a girl, the senior idol would've been his ideal type too.

"what do you like about him?"

"i don't even know him. how can i like him?"

the boy smiled a little before rephrasing his question, "i mean, what makes him your ideal type?"

the girl thought about it for a bit and said, "he's good looking."

jungwon was slightly taken aback by her answer, "that's it?"

jian just smiled at the boy, "i mean, it's just an ideal type right? my ideal type is a good looking person and yoon jeonghan's visuals are just on another level."

then, without hesitation, jungwon asked, "am i good looking?" to which jian replied almost immediately, "of course."

"then, can i be your ideal type, noona?"

the girl froze for a moment. she looked up to meet his eyes who looked at her expectantly.

"i like you jungwon."

he did not expect that. at least, it was the last thing he expected to come out of her mouth.

"i really like you. i love your voice, i love your dancing, i love your visuals, i love your maturity, i love your childishness, i just like everything about you. i really like you, yang jungwon. i'm sorry for only telling you this now. i like you."

jungwon stared at the girl with admiration.

"i really like you too, noona."

she smiled.

"can i be your boyfriend, noona?"
