26. Falling for you

A/N:
Sorry for being late 😞

Jihoon

"Does this one looks good or this purple one?" I ask, holding up two shirts side by side over my chest as I see Seungkwan's reflection through the mirror as he munches on chips while lying down on his stomach on my mattress like it belonged to him all alone. I scowl through the mirror as I find his lack of response.

"Hyung, both of them are actually same color," the grimace in his face is evident enough for me to glare.

"They aren't same," I argue. "See this one has patterns and this one is silk," I tug at the silk ribbons near it's collar to prove my point, but he laughs at my face and my scowl deepens.

"And you're saying it's not a 'date' after stressing over what to wear?" he air quotes whizzing as he splutters, the crumbs of the chips falling all over my bed in the process.

"It's not a 'date' and stop messing with my bed," I huff, but he still doesn't stop whizzing, nearly choking on the chips. I can feel my frown deepening and I take the silk light purple shirt with me to the bathroom. "I'll just try this one."

"If you're not gonna take my opinion then why bother asking me!" I hear him cry out as I shut the bathroom door and it actually isn't a 'date'. Well, it's been nearly a month since I got to know Soonyoung and after that lunch meetup we've been hanging out a lot and every time it started with Soonyoung taking me out for no particular reason and those definitely weren't dates.

Soonyoung has been fun to hang around and it's easy talking to him about anything and I recently found out that I've been getting really comfortable around him to talk about my skin ship thing which actually is really very rare of me. But that doesn't mean my mind has been pretty sane even after hanging out with him everyday and believe me when I say this but it's worsening as days passes by.

As for Seungkwan, I came clean to him after that lunch meetup, definitely not a 'date' when I actually found used condoms in my studio. I really freaked out that day but considering how I kept things from him he was ought to pull some stunts, but I never imagined that would be this severe. But yeah, not gonna lie, it was a pretty good revenge and maybe one day I might actually try this with Soonyoung.

Wait, did I actually think about Soonyoung and used condom...oh my god! I'm going insane. I quickly shake off my thoughts as I come back from changing. I watch my reflection on the mirror and my face involuntarily scowls at me. This outfit makes me feel like out place.

"You look like you're going to a strip club not on a simple dinner at a diner," Seungkwan scoffs and my face flushes in embarrassment. He rolls out of bed, walking towards my wardrobe before rummaging through it as he grumbles. "I still don't understand why you're going out on dinner like those overly aged couples out there."

"I don't know," I shrug as I sit by the edge of my bed, I hear him cursing at Soonyoung as he rummages through the clothes. I wince at his words, secretly glad that he doesn't know I'm the one who invited Soonyoung this time 'cause I felt bad for always being invited but it's not something Seungkwan should know, at least for now.

"This would do," I hear him sigh in relief as I see him walking back to me before shoving the clothes to me before plopping down on the bed with his half finished chips packet. A white turtleneck sweater and a maroon brown jacket and a pair of black heavy jeans. "You don't have much time to daydream, remember?" he cocks a brow at me and I quickly dash towards the bathroom.

"You sure you don't want a ride?" Seungkwan asks for the third time and I roll my eyes at his conduct, pushing him towards the car. Vernon opens the passenger door for his boyfriend as I push him inside. He huffs, puffing his cheeks out like an angry bird and Vernon looks at me apologetically. "Be safe," he finally grumbles and I barely hold myself back from cooing at him.

"Don't worry, the diner is just a block away," I add as Vernon looks at me, almost showing me his puppy eyes along with his boyfriend just to make me agree. "Also, I'm a regular there. Now, chop! chop!" I urge. I leave them on their own after Vernon climbs back to his car before walking down the cold street, continuously rubbing my hands to keep them warm.

The chimes of the bell goes off as soon as I enter the diner, I sigh in relief as soon as the gust of hot air hit me. "Yo!" I look up to find Hobi hyung showing me his blinding smile from the counter. I smile back. "I thought you forgot about us." I chuckle, hanging my coat over a hanger.

"So, the regular?" he asks and I shake my head at him. "Nah, I've got a guest today," he stares down at me, wide-eyed and I leave him be before finding a seat by the glassdoor from where I can see the winter Seoul city. My eyes lit up when I see a familiar figure running over the street.

I crane my neck towards the door when I hear the familiar chime going off, there's standing Kwon Soonyoung in flesh and I can hear my heartbeat doubling up against my ribs as if it's hammering on the ribs painfully when he smiles at my way, frantically waving his hand. He quickly makes his way to my table.

"Hey, Jihoonie!" his smile widens as his eyes take me in and that bloody smile of his takes my breath away. "You look handsome with your hair half-tied," he nods to himself before taking the seat opposite of mine and I have to pinch my thigh under the table to remind myself not to stare at him like a hungry predator.

Maybe I really am falling for him.
