Enemies | Lee Jeno NCT

chapter 38

Your POV:

I walked inside the cafe and Jeno followed behind. Well, I was feeling a bit awkward. I looked behind and Jeno pointed to a table that was near the window, signalling me to go there.

So I sat down on one end of the small circular table and Jeno sat opposite. The waitress had also noticed us and walked towards us. It was the same one from before.

"Hello again, what would you like to order?" she asked with a smile.

Jeno looked at me to see if I was ready to order. I looked back up at the waitress, "I would like to get iced coffee please."

She started to write it down on her small notepad. She smiled at me then looked over at Jeno, "The same for me please."

"Right, perfect. Thank you!" she said before walking away.

I smiled at her then focused back onto Jeno, who was looking at something on his phone. He started to smirk a bit, but terribly failed at hiding it.

"What are you looking at?" I asked as he started to laugh and put his phone away.

"It was nothing." he said and intertwined his hands, resting his elbows against the table. He stared at my face, moving his eyes to every corner. I found myself feeling a bit uneasy when he did, but I think I always knew it was for a good reason. He would always do it before saying something that would make me cringe.

"Oh right, how was your night out with your other friends?" he asked getting into the sudden topic.

"Well, it was alright. I took a shot and I wasn't the best at handling it. How was your time with Soojin?" I questioned back, seeing his face go in a, 'Uhh' type of expression.

"Well she's amazing. It was really fun with her, like she's just so funny and amazing. You should meet her one day." he said. Key word was amazing.

I nodded, "That will only be if I ever see her."

"Yeah, she can teach you some English too. I tried but it was a bit hard.. so never gonna try again." he said and smiled wide. Why was that eye-smile starting to get to me...

Just seeing his smile made me smile too unknowingly. 

It went quiet again with us two, but then he started to stare at me again, "Did I already tell you that you look beautiful?"

The compliment caught me off guard for a second, but then I smiled and said, "I think you did."

"Won't you compliment me this time?" he asked and placed his chin on top of his twined fingers.

"You look alright." I eventually said back. He then put a hand on his chest, "Just alright?"

I put my index finger on my chin and nodded. He scoffed before looking over my shoulder to see the waitress with out drinks. We thanked her as she placed the two cups down, seeing her walk away after.

"When will you stop playing hard to get." Jeno mumbled underneath his breath.

"I heard that." I said as I let out a small laugh. He looked up from his, what I was assuming, phone again and showed a quick smile, "I know."

Jeno took a small sip of his coffee and immediately made a face of, 'It's too hot'. I chuckled seeing his reaction.

"You should've known it was hot, idiot." I said, Jeno shooting me a small glare in process.

I looked behind Jeno, seeing that the scenery was looking quite pretty. It went well with his aesthetic. So I took my phone out and quickly snapped a shot of Jeno.
