Starting With You. /S.Coups x Reader/

40. Then Came Christmas.

Taerin's Pov.

But of course..Why should I ask what his type is? That'll make me sound desperate. "So Cheolie! You got a type?!" Unnie yelled, placing the drinks down. Cheoli? What a funny nickname.. I looked at her and she winked at me. Did she read my mind?!

"Hm? Type? I don't have a specific type but.." He peeked at me and I stared at him, waiting for him to continue. "Hah. Anyways moving on, Taerin. Do you want to join me as my date in the Christmas party? I was going to say it sooner but here it is." He shrugged, awaiting my answer.

"I was going to ask that aswell." Then suddenly Soonyoung took a step forward. I was placed in the middle as they made a staredown with eachother.

Jimun's Pov.

Those two made it obvious that they like Taerin. But it seemed Taerin has been too much under stress lately to even realize. I nibbled off the end of my glasses as Unnie felt the exact same way. We both stayed still and watched what Taerin would do.

Guessing from what I saw a few minutes ago, Taerin had gotten a lot closer with Seungcheol but still holds a place for Soonyoung where Seungcheol hasn't quite reached yet.

But they must also be on edge waiting as their future relies on who Taerin picks. They both plan on making a confession I bet. "Unnie? Who do you vote for?" I whispered over.

"It's hard..But I like Seungcheol with her." She murmured back to me and I folded my arms. I really saw a future with both Hoshi and S.Coups, it's hard to see who Taerin would choose.

"When is this Christmas party..?" Taerin suddenly asked.

Taerin's Pov.

"In about a week from now." Seungcheol replied for me, even checking the date.

"What do you say Taerin?" Soonyoung smiled, keeping his hands in his pockets.

"I think..I need time to decide. I'm sorry." I backed away and they both nodded, accepting my shy self.

"No worries. But I think me and Hoshi can agree we'd like our answers by tomorrow..But actually don't stress! Take as much time you want.." Seungcheol said, picking his fingers. I glanced down and he suddenly hid it.

Does he have anxiety?.. "I'll be sure to give the answer tomorrow." I said.

"Well- We'll head off then! See you tomorrow I guess!" Soonyoung waved, as they both ran out. They're good at running.

When they were finally out of sight, Unnie and Jimun came straight to me. "Who are you going to choose, gosh!" Jimun sighed. "I feel a headache coming on. Our girl is finally getting some love!"

"It must be hard.." Unnie patted my back. "But we'll be here to support your decision." She smiled along with Jimun.

"Thank you both." I kept my hands together politely. "I think..I know who to choose." I had an idea in mind..but I didn't know if it would work.

"By the way..Where are all the customers. I thought you were already open-" Jimun looked around and Unnie chuckled.

"Probably because the sign still says closed. I'll open the café now."

Later.

Baekho's Pov.

"Hey Baekho." Bo-a approached me and I looked at her.

"Hm.?" I wasn't in the best mood to talk. I was the talk of the campus, just known as the one who got 'dumped'. They're quick in giving nicknames that's for sure.
