To Be Loved... (BOOK 1)

Sweet Confessions

I felt like time was going slower than ever. All I wanted was to see Felix later today. We had been talking all night. I could hardly even sleep. I love talking to him. I made sure to text him 'good morning' before I started my day. I wouldn't necessarily call it clingy, just friendly.

"You're doing it again." Wooyoung leaned over and whispered to me. I came back to reality and realized I had sketched Felix's face in my notebook. I quickly turned the page, feeling embarrassed. "What's your plan for today? I need to approve it."

"I'm not sure yet."

"You're going on your first date and you haven't planned anything?" He silently gasped, making sure our teacher didn't hear.

"Whoa, who said anything about a date?"

"Shut up, Hyunjin. This is your first date."

"But we barely know each other."

"Blind dating is a thing, I don't wanna hear that excuse. You called each other cute and that's why you wanted to hang out. This is a date."

"Oh my god." I stressed, running my fingers through my hair.

"I'll come over after school and help you pick an outfit out because it'll be better than whatever you pick."

"I know how to dress myself."

"Do you?"

"You'll be picking clothes from my closet. I think I know how to look nice."

"Fine." He groaned. "I'll still need to approve it."

I guess it really is a date then. I need to make sure everything's perfect.

Gym rolled around and I spotted Jisung with Minho. Strange.

"Jisung, can I talk to you?" I interrupted their conversation as politely as I could.

"If it's about my brother, you can talk about it right here." Minho crossed his arms and glared at me.

"Perfect." I nodded which confused him. Han just laughed because Minho had once again failed at trying to intimidate me. "Dinner and going to the park. That's my plan."

"That's it?" Minho questioned.

"What do you mean 'that's it'?" Jisung laughed. "That's where we went the first time we hung out."

Minho quickly gasped and covered his mouth, clearly forgetting.

"Sounds like a great idea, Hyunjin!" Minho gave me a thumbs up.

Finally, the school day was over and I felt myself rushing home. Wooyoung was driving right behind me.

"Hi, Mrs. Hwang!" Wooyoung greeted my mother who was in the kitchen.

"Hi, sweetheart!" I closed the door behind us before she could say anything else. He rushed over to my closet and pushed hangers ahead as quickly as possible.

"This!" He pulled out a plain cardigan. "White shirt, blue jeans. Simple. Done. Beautiful."

He turned around and covered his eyes as I changed into my new outfit for tonight.

"What do you think?" I asked, now transformed. Wooyoung turned around and squealed like a little girl.

"You look so cute!"

I felt shy from the compliment so I put my hands in my pockets and stared at the ground with a smile.

"Thank you."

"Don't be awkward around him, Jinnie. You can do it." Wooyoung came over to me and put his hands on my arms. "Try not to text me the whole time either. I know you'll be lost without me."
