ENHYPEN mini fics

03; heeseung (jealousy)

I stood nearby the door of my apartment waiting for her to arrive. She said she'd be here soon, like five minutes ago. Although, I have been waiting at the door for the last half an hour when she told me that they were coming back from their 'shopping'. Shopping for them is code for 'We're going to sit sipping on iced coffees at the park and gossip for hours'. I made that mistake of following them once on this 'shopping' of theirs and then never again. And by 'them' I mean, her, my beautiful girlfriend and her best friend. Her male friend.

They were friends long before we even started dating about a year ago and I'm not one to control who my girl is friends with, but I can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever she mentions him. They know everything about each other, I'm still learning certain things about her. He even knows all her secrets. (I wonder what they could be. Is she just shy to talk to me about certain things?) He even goes in her room to help her pick out outfits. (She doesn't even let me in there when she dresses. What could she be so shy about with me? I've seen it all already anyway...)

The door beeped as the code was punched in and they both walked in. To no surprise, there were no shopping bags in their hands.

"Hello, my love," I said and greeted her with a kiss. "Did you have fun?"

She grinned. "Oh, yeah. It was great~"

"Sounds like it was a successful shopping trip then."

"It definitely was~"

As she removed her shoes, her friend smiled at me. "Hey."

I didn't want to return the smile, but I did anyway to be friendly. I don't want to be one of those terrible boyfriends that they so brutally gossip about all the time. "Hey. Thanks for bringing her home safely."

"Yeah, no problem."

"Are you staying for a bit?"

He checked the watch on his wrist. "Sorry, no, not this time. I have to go meet up with my sister. She's throwing a whole fit over what she should wear for her friend's wedding and needs my opinion."

My girlfriend pouted. (Could she be any cuter? Ugh, my heart.) "Aw, okay. I'll see you next time then."

"Yeah, whenever we can make time." He opened his arms for a hug which she quickly returned. They hugged tightly and my heart clenched. (Geez, Hee. Get it together. They're just friends.)

They let go of the hug and her friend looked at me and smiled. "Nice to see you again, Heeseung. Thank you for being a good boyfriend for her. Especially after the trainwreck that was her ex."

She laughed. "He's never not going to catch any strays from you, huh?"

"Girl, never. I told you he was no good. You didn't listen." Her friend glanced at me one more time before waving. (Why does he always look at me like that? Did I do something wrong?) "Bye. I really need to go."

"Okay~ Bye~" She waved and the door closed. She turned to me and grabbed one of my hands, pulling me into the apartment. "Come~ Let's cuddle~ I know you missed me."

I laughed. "I definitely did."

She pushed me to sit down on the couch and sat comfortably in my lap. We wrapped our arms around each other and she laid her head on my shoulder.

"So? How was your day without me? Boring, I bet."

I nodded. "Mm. I didn't know what to do."

"Well, I'm here now, so what do you want to do?"

A smirk formed on my face and without even looking at me or even saying anything, she giggled and playfully hit my shoulder.

"Not yet. I really just wanna cuddle right now."

I chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "Okay. Later then."

"By the way, earlier, why did you have that look on your face?"

"Hm? What look?"

"The one you make when you're faking like you're being friendly. You know him. Why were you faking?" She looked up at me and her eyes shined.

(Ah, I couldn't get past her amazing observation skills, I see.)

I debated on lying, but the truth is, I can't lie to her. Not when she's giving me those cute eyes. "I... I don't know."

"You weren't jealous, were you?"

"No." I tried to lie. She raised an eyebrow. (Damn. She figured it out.) "Maybe a little."

"Hee, seriously? He's just a friend."

"Yeah, I know. I swear, it's not an issue. It's just... I get worried sometimes. You know what happened."

She nodded and adjusted herself to straddle my lap. She cupped my face in her hands and looked me in the eyes. "Listen to me, stop worrying. Okay? I'm not... going to do that. I'd never dream of it. Besides, you have nothing to worry about him. He's clear. You're good."

I frowned. "What does that mean?"

She blinked. "You... oh, I didn't tell you. I'm so sorry. I forgot."

"Tell me what?"

"He's gay. If anything, it's me who has to worry about him. I know he wouldn't try to steal you from me, but I catch him ogling you all the time. I mean, who wouldn't though when you look like this?"

I nodded slowly, the realization of a lot of his actions finally hitting me. "So that's why he's always looking at me. I thought it was because I did something wrong or he didn't really like me and was keeping an eye on me."

She laughed and shook her head. "No. He's just looking at you all the time because you're hot."

I grinned. "I'm both flattered and relieved. At least that means he doesn't hate me."

"Yeah, but he's out of luck." She wrapped her arms around my neck and grinned. "Because you're mine and I'm not good at sharing."

I smiled, hugging her waist tight. "Damn right, I'm yours and only yours."

She leaned forward and we shared a kiss. None of us seemed to want to pull away from each other and, I fear, our neighbors are probably sick of us.
