A Smile That Hides Pain (Karina x Male Reader)

Matchmaker

"So, where are we going today?" Winter spoke. "You tell me. I haven't been here in years." Y/N spoke. "We could stop by the mall. I'm craving some... pizza." Felix joked before running off. "I'm gonna kill you." Y/N said as he ran after him. "So do we follow them?" Winter asked. "Guess so." Han said as they all started to run after them.

"C'mere boah!" Y/N yelled as he chased Felix down the street. "Nah, I'ma do my own thing!" Felix yelled back. "BOAH!" Y/N said as he tried to move his legs faster to catch up to Felix. "Wait up!" Han said as he and everyone else tried to keep up with them.

Felix kept running, but stopped when he got to the mall. "Pizzeria, prepare to meet teenage love." He said before he ran inside the mall.

"FELIX!" Y/N said as he ran into the mall behind Felix. He saw Felix sitting at one of the tables and ran over to him. "Get up, I need you to hit me first so when I go to court for your murder, it can be ruled as self-defense." Y/N said, partially out of breath. "Oh? But look behind you, Y/N." Felix joked and pointed to behind Y/n. Y/n turned around and saw Yuqi at the counter. "You cheeky little-" "Oh, hey Y/N!" Yuqi spoke as she noticed him standing next to Felix. Felix leaned back in his chair to look at her and then looked back at Y/N. "You get my stamp of approval." Felix said. "I hate you so much." Y/N said as he walked into the store.

"Hey Yuqi." He said as he walked over. She was smiling ear to ear at him and when he walked over to the counter, she actually walked around and hugged him.

Karina POV

"You guys! You ditched us!" Seungmin said as we all walked up to Felix. "My bad. Had to be a good wingman." Felix said as he pointed to Y/n who was being hugged by Yuqi. "Is that-" "Yup. That's Yuqi, I think." Felix finished. "He has my stamp of approval." Hyunjin joked. "That's what I said." Felix spoke. "That girl's trying to steal your man." Winter said to me. "Dang, she home wreckin'? That's crazy." I.N. joined in on the joke. "Me personally, I'd ne-" Yunjin began, but I didn't hear her. I was too busy marching into the pizza place.

Narrator POV

"So, what can I get you?" Yuqi asked as she pulled away from Y/n. "We'll take one-" "One order of get the hell out of here." Karina cut off Y/N as she walked over. "Oh, it's you! Hi, I'm Yuqi, ni-" "No, it's not nice to meet you." She cut off Yuqi and smacked her hand away when she reached it out. "Let's go." She said as she grabbed Y/N and tried to drag him away. "Uh, why? I still want my pizza." Y/N spoke. "Why? I cooked you pancakes like 4 hours ago." Karina interjected.

"Yeah, 4 hours ago. And I could use a snack." Y/N said. "Well, good thing I'm here." Yuqi flirted.

Y/n turned red at her words, but Karina turned red with anger instead of blush. "Let's go already. I'll cook you something." Karina said and tried to drag him away once more. "Why do you get mad when I'm around her? You even got mad when she kissed me yesterday." Y/N asked. "I don't." Karina interjected. "Then can you let me order the pizza please?" Y/N said again. "... Fine, but be fast." She said as she walked off.

"So she cooks for you?" Yuqi said with raised eyebrows. "It was just breakfast. And she actually cooked for everyone else too. I just happened to be a part of everyone else." Y/N spoke. "Okay, what did you say you wanted?" "Well, I was gonna ask for 1 cheese pizza, but let me get 1 cheese and 3 pepperonis for my other friends." Y/N responded. "Okay. By the way, I'm clocking out in a few minutes. Why don't we hang out?" Yuqi asked. "Yeah, Christmas sounds like a good time for a first date."

She blushed and giggled, but said she'd be ready in a few minutes.

"Ah, my young protege. Have you acquired her number?" Felix spoke. "I should kill you for that. Especially because you made me pay for that pizza. I should make the pizza your Christmas present and give your actual present to someone else. I know Haerin would love it." Y/N spoke. "Woah! Let's not be hasty. Plus, I helped you get closer with her. I saw that hug." Felix said.
"Did you also saw Karina wild out in there?"

"I didn't wild out. She's just bad for you." Karina interjected. "You said the same thing about Lia." "And you two broke up, didn't you? Plus, Lia isn't the kind of girl to kiss someone when they deliver them a pizza." Karina said. "She kissed you?!" Ningning asked. "Oh yeah, I forgor you were in the bathroom when the pizza came. But it was a cheek kiss. And she was just thanking me for the tip." I said. "With a kiss? You're unbearably naive." Karina said.

"Also, and you guys are gonna kill me when I tell you this." Y/N began. "Well you might." He said as he looked at Karina. "What is it?" Felix spoke. "Me and Yuqi are going on a date after she clocks out, which will be after she brings us our pizza." Y/N said. "... Hold please." Karina said before she walked over to the nearest vending machine and got some water. Then she walked back over to the table, drank some water and spit it out at the floor. "WHAT?!" She yelled. "Wow, how inconsiderate. Y'know a janitor's gonna have to work overtime to mop that up right?" Y/n joked, but Karina didn't chuckle, giggle, not a sound.

"You're going on a date with her!" Karina said. "Yeah, what of it?" Y/n asked. "... There's something off about her. That's what. We saw her at the mall yesterday. She brought us pizza last night. And we run into her here. She just happened to work at this pizza place instead of any other pizza place in this town." Karina said. "She told me that she lived here when I mentioned we were coming here for the summer. Why are you so torn up about this?" Y/n asked.

"Okay, here's your pizza!" Yuqi suddenly said as she walked over to the table with the pizzas. "You got some for us too? Aw, what a great friend. Have fun on your date, love birds." Han said as he opened the box and got a slice. "I'll be taking a few though." Y/n said as he opened the box and got 2 slices.

"Want one?" He asked Yuqi as they walked away. "Thanks." She said as she took the slice.
