ENHYPEN mini fics

13; jake (first kiss/confession)

“Hey, are you busy?”

I texted her that about an hour ago and now she was on her way over. This is the first time she’s coming over and honestly, I’m kinda freaking out. The two of us have been friends for a while but she’s never been over because when she’s not busy, I’m busy and when I’m not busy, she’s busy. 

I actually have a secret I’ve been keeping from her. I’ve liked her for longer than we’ve actually been friends. She used to work at this cafe I used to go to. (I stopped going because she changed jobs haha) She was the barista and she knew my order. I was her regular. It actually wasn’t until one day when she turned up at my part-time job when we started to become friends.

Today, hopefully, I’ll get to tell her how I feel. I’m not sure if she feels the same. I hope she does. 

I heard the doorbell ring and I rushed over to the door. I opened it after confirming it was her at the door and grinned. “Hi, welcome.”

She smiled. “Thank you.”

She walked in and removed her shoes. I helped her take off her coat and we entered in the apartment.

“It’s about time we get to hang out like this,” I said. “It’s been a while.”

“Yeah, it has. And it's my first time at your place too. It’s nice~”

“Thanks. Uh, make yourself at home. Do you want anything? Water or a snack?”

“No, not right now. Thank you though.” She sat down on the couch and looked around. “This place feels so you. It is a little empty though, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, well, I live alone so I wouldn’t really know what to fill it up with.”

She chuckled and nodded. “I wish I knew the feeling, honestly. I still live with my parents. That’s why I haven’t invited you over and my parents are a little bit crazy. It’d probably scare you off.”

“They can’t be that bad.”

“No, but they really do seem to care about my love life. My mom keeps trying to set me up with random men that walk into their restaurant or her friend’s sons. I’m just a little tired of it. I’m only young. Why do I need to look for someone now?”

“You’re not looking?”

“Not really, no. If it does happen, by some miracle, I wouldn’t be opposed. I just think it might take someone special to date me.”

I laughed and nodded. “Mm, same here actually.”

“No, please. Any girl would be lucky to have you.”

“Any girl?”

She nodded. “Yeah. You’re great. Plus, I think your place could use a little bit of a feminine touch. Some plants here and there. A little bit more color here and there. Maybe some cute photos of you and her on the walls.”

“Maybe. I haven’t had a relationship since I was in school so I don’t know how it’d be to date now.” I sat down on the couch and leaned back. “Maybe I’ll just become a hermit.”

“Or have one of those cheesy marriage pacts with one of your friends. One of mine jokingly said we should have one for when we turn thirty-five. Surprisingly, she’s actually married now. I didn’t think she’d get married so young, but she’s loving it so I’m happy for her.”

I laughed softly. “Ah, well, other than you, my only friend closeby who’s crazy enough to agree to this is Jay. Sunghoon would look at me like I’m insane.”

She laughed. “Then your apartment would be decorated with instruments. I don’t know about that one.”

“Then would you do one with me instead?”
