Dream of You; j.jh♡l.ty

Chapter 4

  "Taeyong, should we get a drink together sometime? I know this good smoothie shop."

  "Oh, sure. I just have to ask my parents. Why all of a sudden?"

  "I don't know. You just seem interesting. I want to know more about you."

  "Want me to tell you my life story?" Taeyong asked sarcastically.

  "I wouldn't mind."

  "I was just joking."

  "I know," he said before looking back at the computer. "But I really wouldn't mind. Hey, can I give you a nickname?"

  "Oh, sure."

  "Okay, Yo-yo."

  "Yo-yo?"

  "I was thinking Yongyong or Yongie, but that's basic. So I went with Yo-yo."

  "Change it."

  "Wow, turned down so suddenly?" he said while holding his chest. "I'm hurt, Yo-yo."

  Taeyong rolled his eyes and said, "Stay hurt, Jam."

  "Jam?"
 
  "Jaehyun starts with J so Jam," he shrugged.

  "Aw, that's cute."

  Taeyong blushed but sighed to cover it up. "Whatever. Let's just work on our project."

  "There's a lot of time to do that. I'd rather talk with you."

  "And there's a lot of time to talk to me. Let's work."

  "Oh, so you're gonna wanna talk to me more?" Jaehyun said, sitting back in his seat with a smirk. "How much more? 'Til we change seats, 'til we graduate, or 'til the end of time?"

  "Until I finish the project," he playfully teased.

  "Ouch, Yongie. That hurt."

  Taeyong blushed at the name. Why was it so easy for this boy to get him to blush? "Oh, someone's blushing."

  "Why have you become so confident?"

  "Who knows," Jaehyun said with a shrug. He focused on the project again with help from Taeyong. Minutes flew by in seconds.

  "What if we went this weekend?"

  "What?"

  "I can take you to the shop on the weekend. How about it?"

  "Yeah, that sounds nice."

  "Then it's a date. Tell me when I can pick you up."

  "Wonder if we live far? None of us have a car."

  "In that case, it's good that I have a bike. You can ride in the back. You just have to hold on tight."

  Taeyong thought about it. Wow, that was kind of dreamy. "Hey, are you perfect?"

  "What kind of question is that?" Jaehyun said with a faint laugh.

  "You're nice, good-looking, smart, and you have good manners. Plus, you're athletic and you offer to have me ride on the back of the bike? You probably have a girlfriend," Taeyong rambled, counting with his fingers as he listed Jaehyun's characteristics.

  "Thank you for the compliment, but I'm not too interested in girls," he shyly said.

  "Partially?"

  "Yeah, only some. But I don't get involved with them. Then other people like me. I don't get involved with them either. Sometimes I want to though. It just never works out."

  Taeyong tilted his head a bit. "Do you have someone you're interested in right now?"

  "Yeah, I have someone."

  For some reason, Taeyong's heart dropped. Maybe it was because of the attachment that derived from the boy being his lover in his dreams. Or maybe he had grown a serious liking towards him. Whether it was a good feeling or not, he wanted to know more. It's what his heart pushed him towards.

  "Who is it?"

  "Secret. Anyway, we should get working."

  "Oh, yeah." For the rest of the time, Taeyong could barely focus. He would observe small interactions Jaehyun had with other people to see if they could be the one. Before he knew it, it was the end of class and he had no leads. Ugh, annoying.
