cold heart in love || lee know x reader

bound to meet

Y/N'S POINT OF VIEW

          i was still confused as to why minho had said those things. did he have a crush on me? do i have a crush on him? there's no way..
what were we gonna "talk about later?" i mean.. do i like him..? for some reason, i don't treat him like any other person. it's not like he's really ignorable, anyway. my heart does this thing whenever he gets close to me, it's almost as if it skips a heartbeat.
am i really falling for him..?

MINHO'S POINT OF VIEW

i hadn't planned on confessing my feelings today.. i should just wait it out. what if i ruin our friendship?
            the bus arrived and we boarded, saying goodbye to y/n's friend. my classes had given me so much homework today, i felt like i had 16 hours of school.
            "what were we gonna talk about, minho-ah?" y/n looked up at me.
            "a-ah.. i'll tell you some other time.." i muttered, turning away and back towards the front. fuck..
            "whatever you say, minho," she smiled softly, cupping my cheek with her hand. i felt my ears redden and her soft smile emerged into a laugh. her cheek dimples carved towards the sides when her smile enlarged. gosh, she really is so cute, i guess this is how every boy feels about her.
           "so, are you interested in anyone minho-ah?" y/n started up again.
"actually, i am," i muttered, looking into her eyes.
"really? THE lee minho? a crush? she must be really pretty and fun to be around!" she squealed, her eyes lighting up as she held both of my hands. my ears burned red again.
"i guess you can say that. she's really pretty. you actually know her pretty well," i looked at her. she in fact, did know her really well.
"really? can you give me hints?" she was more intrigued as i went on. gosh, she's so oblivious.
"she's really my type. good fashion sense, pretty, mature, smart, and she knows how to capture boys' hearts," i tried to make it obvious, but not too obvious.
"well, won't you worry she'll attract other boys and maybe fall for them instead?" she questioned, loosening the grip on my hands, yet still holding onto them.
"kind of. although, she pushes other boys away, so i'm hopeful i have a chance," i smiled, rubbing her hands with mine fondly.
"you got this! i'm positive she'll love you back minho! fighting!" she put her fist up and her other hand went to my shoulder. little did she know, she was talking about herself. is she really positive that she's gonna love me back?
"no one would dare say no to you, lee minho! you could tell the whole school to bark and everyone would sound like starving hyenas, even the boys ㅋㅋㅋㅋ just ask her out!" she smiled, her eyes creasing up and her dimples deepening.
"she doesn't know yet, i'll wait until we get closer," i replied.
"if you say so! i'll have your back no matter what!" she cheered happily, hugging my side and looking up at me with admiration.
gosh, she really is cute. the duality she has is impressive. she could be cold and heartless, yet so sweet and cheery. i turned to her and put my arms around her waist, resting my head on her shoulder.
"we're here, y/n-ah," i said in a low tone, getting up from my seat and grabbing her arm gently.
i got off the bus and we walked home together. while walking, i spotted a stray cat. it was a grey cat with white and dark grey spots. y/n immediately took out something from her book bag. a strip of cat food that she ripped open.
            "here, kitty!" she smiled while squatting down to feed the cat. the cat carefully licked the food until there was no more.
            i took a picture of her feeding the cat. i guess i picked up the habit after y/n had done it so much, even before we were friends.
            after she pet the cat and fed it, we got up and left. apparently, she had met the cat before.
            "minho-ah, it must be fate!"
            "hm?" i answered, confused.
            "before i met you, i named this cat mino and it sounds just like minho!" she pointed at her.
            "then we were bound to meet, y/n-ssi," i stared into her sparkling eyes, smiling with a slight nod.
            "definitely!" she reassured, taking my hand and walking away. she really was oblivious, or playing dumb. gosh, i hope she isn't playing dumb.
            i reached my house and to my surprise, my father was outside, about to walk in. he turned around and a bright smile lit up on his face. i already knew the next words that were about to come out of his mouth.
            "minho-ah! y/n-ah! are you two dating yet?" he shouted as we approached him at the front door. damn, not even a greeting.
            "no, not yet ㅋㅋㅋ uncle," she laughed, folding her arms. "yet?" what did that mean? my ears went red again, partially because of the statement and how excited my dad got over it, even when she said no.
            "mmmm.. okay, whatever you youngsters say. y/n! come on in! i'll make you some tea!" he rambled.
            "i'm sorry uncle lee, i have to go to work," she looked more disappointed than my father.
            "it's okay! minho-ah, accompany her!" he pushed me with a stupid grin plastered on his face. he really wanted us to date, huh?
            "oh, no need! i'm coming over after work anyway, maybe another time," she took her book bag and began walking towards the door.
            "if you say so, if you feel unsafe, i'll send minho right over whether he likes it or not!" my father smirked, looking into my eyes.
            "ㅋㅋㅋㅋ okay! i don't mind working with him around," she smiled, turning her head to look at my direction. it's weird thinking about her working.
            y/nnie left for work, so i went up to my room. i posted the picture i had taken of her with the cat, tagging her on the post along with other pictures i had taken. the song i used was "just one day" by bts. i captioned it, "y/nnie is so good with cats💕."
            there had been a rumor that we were dating, but lee felix had denied it completely. it had nothing to do with him, yet everyone believed him. well, it was true, but i'm not sure why he cared so much.
            the post got a lot of attention because i never really posted anything on social media, especially things outside of promoting my father's business. it was especially shocking i'm bringing up a girl's name and hanging out with one outside of school, but y/n meant the world to me.
             i did what i did everyday, taking a shower, washing my hair, doing homework, etc. i had some extra time, so i picked up the math project. we were doing well carrying out our plan of doing a certain amount each day. i decided to work a little more to lift some weight off y/n's shoulders. i fed soonie, doongie, and dori, then got to work for a little bit. if you were ever wondering, no i'm not unemployed. i work under my father's company and i sometimes model for his products. he doesn't put a lot of work on me, which im thankful for. i should visit y/n sometimes. she must be busy in the cafe, considering how many customers they get. lots of people come to the cat cafe, yet something tells me they aren't there for the cats nor the food.
             time went by as i worked for a couple hours. when the time hit about 6 P.M., i heard a knock on my door and a text message vibrate from my phone.

y/nnie💕: i'm here! come open the door for me linoyah!
minho: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ calling me linoyah hmmm??
y/nnie💕: it's just a nickname!
minho: ㅎㅎㅎ i'm just teasing, ill go open the door for u

             i opened the door to y/n in a t shirt and shorts. she had changed from her everyday clothes and her work outfit. she smiled at me and i let her in. we went up to my room and started talking before working on the project.
             "i saw your model pictures! you're so handsome linoyah!" she cheered, smiling happily from ear to ear.
             "ㅋㅋㅋ you saw that? i'm so embarrassed," i muttered while hiding my face in embarrassment.
             "you're super handsome and you have a great personality!" she put her hand on my shoulder, reassuring me. it's not that i think i'm ugly, it's just the pictures are a bit embarrassing for me.
             we worked on the project for the next 3 hours, talking back and forth about unrelated topics, yet still getting work done. soon, it was time for y/nnie to go.
             "bye minho-ah! i'll see you tomorrow!" she said her goodbyes and hugged me tightly. i held her waist and smiled warmly, putting my face near her neck, softly breathing.
             "ㅋㅋㅋ you're too flirty," she giggled to herself as she left and i shut the door.

             i really wanted to confess just then.

a/n: hey guys! i'm finally back at my home in tingjiang🥹🥹 i brought foxi.ny with me on my trip because i was scared he was gonna be lonely ㅋㅋㅋㅋ im listening to twice while writing this chapter ㅎㅎㅎ
