09 - Quick Talk

Hot To Go! - Chappell Roan

{Heeseung}

"We need to talk." I quickly blurted out, my words coming out faster before I could stop myself. My hands shaking of nervousness as I quickly shove them in my pockets.

Fuck why did I say that?

Jake looks up at me with confusion, "What? What about?" He asks, standing up beside me with the book in his hand. "Are you sure you don't want to read the book?-"

I grip his wrist lightly, in hopes not to hurt him and I drag him out of the library. "It'll be quick, I promise."

The tapping of shoes can be heard as well as some faint whispers. As we walk through the semi-empty hallways, Jake speaks up.

"So... Do you need help with your physics homework?" He slightly teases, his voice sort of like a whisper. "But seriously, what's up?"

"Well, I do. But that's not the thing I wanted to talk about." I mumble before sighing. "I want you to be completely honest when I ask you this."

He nods.

I take a deep breath, "What types of gifts do you like? Or like, what do you like? Ni-ki wants to know." I lied on the last part, he doesn't want to know. I just needed someone to make me seem... not weird.

Jake looks at me confused, "What? Heeseung, this is so–"

"Answer the question, please." I cut him off firmly, but softly.

"Well, I like legos... and I like gaming... and clothes... and yeah..." He shrugs before raising an eyebrow. "I guess that's it...? Why?"

"...Legos? Like- like the building blocks?"

He hums in acknowledgment, "Yes, legos. They're so fun to play with and they even have cool and pretty designs!" He smiles enjoying the little lego conversation. "You should build some with me someday."

Why is he so effortlessly cute?

"Yeah, I will. But, another question real quick," I plead, thinking of another question. "Are you still down for that basketball practice? I'm free tomorrow."

His face beams, eyes widening and the corners of his mouth turning upwards. "Really? I'd love to. But are you sure? I don't want to be a burden." His voice having a panicked tone.

I chuckle, "It'll be alright. Trust me.

"Alright, if you say so... So what time do you want to meet up?"

"Do you want to maybe meet up at around 10:30 at the gym? That's where I usually go before practice." I run a hand through my hair, combing the messy hair. "Sound good?"

"Yep." He nods, "Oh, can I have your phone number? I want to make sure I can talk to you if I have any questions." Jake reaches into his pocket, grabbing his phone.

Jake? Asking for my phone number? I would be lying if I said I wasn't overjoyed. "Yeah, sure. Let me type it in." I say before grabbing his phone and typing my number. "Here, it should be there."

"Alright thanks. I'll see you tomorrow?"

I nod, "Sounds great. See you."

As soon as he begins to walk away, I call out "And remember our promise on the bus!" Jake puts his thumb up and walks into the building. "Yes!" I happily yelled all because I got Jake's number.

I also want to bring him home at some point. I just need to be patient.
