Rainbow Life | NCT Jaehyun [Edited]

Chapter 22

" I.. No- what are you saying? That's not how I treat my friends. " he said. " I think for now, we're just friend. Wait, no, actually I don't think of you as a friend in general but I don't want to rush things up. You know, I had a bad experience before so I got kinda insecure about everything but I'm trying. "

" Trying..? " all I could hear after his words is my beating heart. It's so loud.

" Yes. I was trying to get closer to you, to know you more like, we could go on several dates if you don't mind? I'm sure you're the one but I wanna take things slow instead of rushing. I..hope you understand that. I'm not trying to play with your feeling or anything. I'm sorry if I confused you. " he said gently, I could hear how sincere he is even without seeing his face.

" No, it's okay, it's true that I kinda got confused but now that you made it clear, I'm okay now. " I said, secretly smiling.

" Also, sorry for earlier. I did such an impulsive action earlier. "

" No..it's not only your fault. " I said back.

Then we goes silent for a while until that moment when I decide to do something.

I slowly zipping my tent down to my neck level only and peek out from there. Jaehyun is sitting right in front of my tent. He quickly turned around, his eyes meets mine just in seconds.

I bits my lips, contain myself from smiling any wider than this, at him. " So what did you say about go on several dates earlier? "

Jaehyun bursted out the biggest laughing I had never seen before. His eyes were twinkling by the light surrounding us, along with his cute dimples. I can't help but laugh with him as well.

" Yeah sure. Let's discuss it when we get back to school. "

Then we could hear a rustling sounds of many footsteps approaching us, it's getting louder and louder, nearer and nearer with sounds of laughter and excitement of those students.

" They're back. " Jaehyun said, still smiling. " I'm going back now then. " he said once again then surprised me with a light knock on my forehead. Geez this guys.

Once I spotted Irene and Sana, along with Taehyung and Donghyuk and a few more walking together. I immediately zipped down my tent completely and get out to approach them.

When they saw me, they quickly greet me with endless questions can worrying about me ankle. Donghyuk is back to normal again, I'm really glad.

But the way Irene look at me is kinda weird. She didn't say anything though.

When I look around, I could found Jaehyun sitting on the same chair, chatting with Ten and his classmates while laughing happily. His eyes quickly found its way towards mind. I give him a soft smile before looking back at these exciting people around me. I didn't missed it when he smiles softly at me back though. Arggg I'm shy.

Half an hour later, all of us began eating our dinner. After that, our teacher had a little speech regarding our trip, how well it goes, how fun everyone had and how amazing this place is.

There's no more schedule after that, our school decided to let us have the time of this night to ourselves but everyone still had fun with their own group of friends.

Some of them are having a dance party around the bonfire. Some are playing some games and some are just chilling with each other, talking about little things while having their nighttime snack.

I was sitting in circles with five of us while chatting and debating with fun, soon later, Ten brought his friends and Jaehyun along with him then joined us as well. Jaehyun was being seated right in front of me. All of us were laughing nonstop. I often caught that subtle glances from Jaehyun as well.
