Tender Love {Chanyeol/Jongin} [English Ver.]

~19~

After Naeun finished washing the dishes she went to her room and changed into her pajamas. She grabbed her phone and walked to Eunji's room. She softly knocked on the door and then opened it. Eunji was lying upside down on her bed while covering her face. Naeun went to her and bent down next the bed.

"Unnie. . . ." She touched her arm. "Are you okay?"

"No," she answered and by her voice Naeun noticed she was crying.

"Talk to me."

"I don't want to."

"It will make you feel better," she replied and waited for an answer.

Eunji stayed silent for seconds until she decided on telling her what happened. She sat up against the back of the bed while hugging her pillow. Naeun saw her face and it was more than obvious she was crying. She sat next to her and looked at her.

"Do you want details?" Eunji asked.

"I always want details," Naeun replied with a chuckle. Eunji sighed and nodded.

After Eunji y Jongin ate the amazing dinner Eunji prepared, they went to the living room. They were sitting in the couch facing each other while listening some music Jongin had put on his phone, to have a good atmosphere.

"Christmas is just around the corner. What are your plans for that day?" He asked as he caressed her right hand with his thumb.

"I will spend it with my family," she answered, smiling, while staring at their hands together.

"What will you gift me?" He asked. She looked at him with eyes wide opened and laughed.

"Nothing."

"Ah. I get it. I think I'll have to return your gift then," he joked.

"Have you already bought a gift for me?" She asked surprised.

"No. . . ." he muttered with a chuckle. "But I'll give you something you'd like."

"Like what?" She asked with curiosity.

"Wait until then."

"Aish," Eunji whined.

"After we come back from spending time with our families, let's do something. . , just the two of us." He kept playing with her fingers.

"Okay." She smiled. He looked at her smiling.

"Don't make other plans, you're mine as soon as you come back." He pointed at her with his finger.

"Yah! What are you planning?!" She exclaimed joking. He quickly noticed that what he said had a double meaning.

"No, no. Nothing like that." He chucked nervous. "I'm not a pervert."

"I didn't say you are," she softly said with a smirk. Jongin couldn't hold his smile back.

They stayed in silent for a couple minutes, just enjoying being together. They stared at each others' eyes for quite a while.

"I like you," he told her.

That was something she knew. . , but she had never heard it from him. And the fact that he actually told her he liked her made her feel a tingling in her stomach, a nice one.

"I like you, too." She blushed the second she said that and he smiled big after hearing what he wanted to hear.

"You do?"

"Hmm." She nodded looking at their hands. "I like your bracelet." She tried to change subject as it was making her shy.

"How much do you like me?" He asked, ignoring her question. "From 1 to 100, 1 being the lowest."
