Smile // GOT7 Jinyoung

13. Unexpected

I actually found myself walking to the parking lot, in a slow and easy pace. I still am hesitant about my choice.

But it's still better than becoming dead.

Was that my subconscious mind? Whoa. Its been a while. It only speaks up when I'm getting nervous and I'm feeling teased now that it only chooses to speak today.

I sighed and walked a bit faster. It would probably be better to arrive on time than be late.

There, I saw Kang Jiwon, leaning on the trunk of her Porsche. She looked at me and motioned her fingers as if telling me to come closer. There wasn't anyone else here.

"Why do you want to talk to me, Jiwon?" I asked, trying to hide the fear in my voice.

"Mina..." She held both of my hands in hers and swayed them.

I gave her a confused look. "Uhhh. Yes?" I raise my left eyebrow.

"Can we... be friends?" She asked.

"What?!" I almost shouted, out of shock.

"I want to get closer to you." She said.

I didn't reply and I still have the same expression on my face from thirty seconds ago. I don't know how to react.

"Please?" She asked, showing her aegyo charm.

"Okay then." I simply said.

After that encounter with Jiwon, I went home immediately, ignoring the seven's worried text messages. I should reply later.

I flopped on my bed, already in my comfy pj's. Mom still hasn't come back. Instead of feeling angry like last time, I'm feeling worried.

She should've at least told you her reason, right?

Wow. You're speaking a lot lately, I thought, talking to my own mind. Yeah, I'm just weird like that.

I looked over at my bedside table to check the time. 9:37 pm, it says. I sighed and closed my eyes trying to sleep.

You can't and you won't

Oh just shut up. I'm trying to sleep here. You're not helping.

For a moment there, my subconscious obeyed. And he's right, I really can't sleep.

So I got up from my bed and stood. Something seems weird. It's scaring the crap out of me. Halp.

TAK

I prayed to God. Oh please please don't kill me. I have ambitions and dreams. I'm too young to die plea-

"Yah! Lee Mina!" Someone shouted from afar.

The voice was too familiar. I immediately ran to my window and opened it.

And there, I saw, a handsome young man, named Park Jinyoung, standing outside my house. His left hand is in his pocket, the other one is holding a pebble, ready to throw.

"Yah! Are you not going to let me in?" He shouted once more.

I just nodded because I still couldn't find the words to say. So I ran downstairs to the gate and opened it to let him in.

"Nobody's home?" He asks.

I nodded and went to the roof, dragging him with me. It's already been a while since I last came here. And now, I'm with him.

The roof is not even so I held on to his arm for support. He didn't complain and held me til we both were safe.

I sat there, next to him in a distance, probably ten and a few more inches apart. He sat next to me too.

"I was worried." He finally spoke.

"Oh. Sorry about that." I say.

"What happened, by the way?" He ask.

"I just met with someone. Nothing special." I reply.

"You should've told me. I almost died worrying." He says.

"Really? I'm sorry."

"Nah. It's fine. Now, I'm okay by just seeing you. I'm not worried anymore." He say.

I felt heat rising to my cheeks. Oh thank god, it was dark. He wouldn't see my blushing face.

"Thank you." I said.

He looked at me, I still gazing over to the horizon. "What for?" He asked.

I wanted to thank him for giving me a memorable childhood and him coming back also made me happy, even though he forgot how we started. It's surprising how he still makes me feel giddy even after so many years of being apart.

"Because, you're a good friend. And you listen and be there everytime I need you. I'm just so thankful to have you in my life." I say.

"It's nothing, really. I'm thankful to have you too." He smiled.

After that, we just sat there, looking at a beautiful view, for a few minutes. It wasn't awkward. It's a comfortable silence for both of us because with him, everything is never awkward.

I stood up, realizing the time. It's soo late.

"Hey, you not coming home? It's getting late." I told him.

"It's already late but yeah, I'll be going now." He reply.

I held out my hand to help him up, he took it but he was too heavy, I almost fell to my death.

He grabbed my hand and brought me close to him, hugging him. My eyes went wide, my mouth hung open in surprise.

"Goodnight, Lee Mina." He whispered softly in my ear.
