Imperfectly perfect.

2. "Ill make it up to you"

Jaeil's POV-

So far I've gone through all 7 periods without dying... NEW RECORD!! Now to think about how I should make it up to Minjoo-
I could bring her over to my house and show her my newest addition to my stuffed animal collection, but I don't think that's very interesting. *phone starts buzzing*

Oh it's my dad!

"Hey Potato, do you wanna take my spare boat tickets to jeju? The company (bighit) I used to work for gave me some extras and I don't need them." Yes my dad calls me a potato. He says I'm too lazy. Go figure...

" Sure but who would I go with? I'm just a kid and I don't think I'll be able to go over to an island by myself dad..." how does he expect to go by myself..???

"Just take a friend or something! I'm really busy at work so I won't be able to go with you"

I SHOULD TAKE MINJOO WITH ME!!

"Hey dad, do you think it would be weird to ask Minjoo to go with me? I feel like it sounds like I'm asking her out on a date but I just wanna give her a really nice birthday present for her 16th ya know?" I felt really awkward asking my dad for advice...

"I don't think it's weird but just remember that I'll be sending a body guard with you so no funny business young man!! GET SOME MY LITTLE CHILD" my dad replied hysterically.

" I can't understand you sometimes dad. You're literally telling me to go have sex with my bestfriend..." tf.?

"I don't mean it like that but just please be careful on your trip. I cant have my favorite kid getting lost or injured." I'm his only child...

"Ok dad please be safe too. I'll see you in a few days! Byee" I replied to him.
*line suddenly cuts off*

Umm ok? I guess maybe my dads busy. Now to go find a way to ask Minjoo on this fucking trip-

Minjoo's POV-

I'm so glad that classes were all easy and simple today... Now to wait for Jaeil to "make it up to me" lol. I hope he doesn't go all out on me just because I'm finally 16. He always try's to make each birthday special for me but I feel like I'm making him do so much! I mean I don't even ask him for anything but he still goes out of his way to make each birthday even better than the last. Its really sweet but I just wished he could realize that his existence, is the best present I could ever ask for. I don't know what I would do without Jaeil. He walks me to school every morning, texts me 24/7 to make sure I'm feeling happy, and he even helps me study before every test so that I can maintain good grades and stay in the same class as him!
He's the only one who truest cares about my well being and I couldn't thank him enough for every thing he's done for me in the past 11 years that I've known him. Sad thing is, i don't know how to act when I'm around him. Lately, I find myself speechless and too happy on the inside when it's time for me to strike a conversation with him. He's always so bubbly and cute near me but I don't know how to respond back.??

I just wish that things could go back to normal. I want this weird feeling in my stomach to go away everytime I'm around him.. Can someone tell me what I'm feeling because I clearly do not know.

*2 missed calls from Jaeil and 1 left voicemail*

Oh shit I completely forgot about my phone! It's probably Jaeil just trying to see what I'm up to.  Lets see what he had to say in the voicemail-

"Um hey. This is Jaeil. Oh yeah you already know that. Anyways, my dad gave me a free trip for two to a resort on Jeju Island and I was wondering if you'd wanna go..?? If you don't want to , I totally understand and I won't be upset lol. Love you! *mumbles* oh shit I didn't mean to say that.. WELL BYE AND CALL ME BACK SOON PLEASE."  *voicemail ends*

DID HE JUST SAY HE LOVED ME..?!

No. he probably just thought of his mom and the words just plopped out or something. I should probably text him back and say that I can go.  Yeah. I'll do that now

Minjoo:
Um hey. I can go but I just need to know when we're leaving that way I can prepare for the trip lmao...
Jaeil:
Okay good. I didn't wanna be lonely all weekend lol. Plus maybe this will make for my sucky birthday present!!
Jaeil:
The ferry leaves at 11:00 am tomorrow so we can just meet up tomorrow at my house and go to the ferry station together. That way there isn't so much hustle and trouble on our way lol.
Minjoo:
Sounds Great! I'll head over there around 10:15 that way we can avoid all the traffic.  I gotta go. My phones about to die kms..
Jaeil:
Haha same. Okay I'll start getting
My stuff ready for tomorrow. See you soon!! Bye~

I legit don't know how to talk to him anymore lololol;;; I hope all the tension goes away once we're at Jeju..
Guess I'll be going for now; I have to go pack all my stuff and make sure I pick out outfits that actually look cute. Ughh so much work for a short weekend trip..BYEEE

Sorry that was so short... well it felt short to me. I'll have 3 chapters ready by Saturday so don't worry, you'll find out soon enough what happens on the sudden trip to Jeju..
