[#1] boy next door :: im youngmin

chapter eight

"Why did you like her, Youngmin?"

"Because she's nice, she helps me out a lot, and she just... she just makes me happy."

It's just amazing timing that Yerin and Woojin suddenly arrive behind them at that time, and Yuna thinks it's because they're best friends and secretly can read each others' minds. Yerin and Woojin both have their cheeks flushed and sits down on either side of them. Yerin on Yuna's left, and Woojin on Youngmin's right.

"Hello," Yerin swiftly takes the container of fries from Yuna and pops a fry in her mouth, chewing slowly and turning her head to look at the two boys.

Then she looks back at her friend again, "So what did you guys do today?"

"Uh-"

"Isn't this day supposed to be about you guys? How was your date? Here- just take it." Youngmin suddenly interrupts, handing his fries container to Woojin who has been sneakily taking some since the moment he sat down.

"Well, yeah-"

Then Yerin launches into a story of their day, how Woojin kept bluffing before they went into a haunted house but ended up behind her the whole time they were inside, how Woojin accidentally hit himself with a churros, and other funny things.

While she is going on and on about their day, Yuna catches Youngmin's eye and gives him asmall smile, mouthing a thank you.

At this moment, Yuna doesn't notice Woojin staring at Youngmin intently with his head tilted before going back to the remaining fries in the container he's holding. Youngmin tears his gaze away from her and focuses on Yerin, chuckling at the story she is currently telling.

"Ya- Yuna, are you even listening to me-"

Yerin is suddenly tugging on her arm then her ear respectively and when she looks back, Yerin is pouting and she can hear Youngmin laughing.

"Maybe Yuna would like to go on a blind date, too,"

Woojin speaks up, his voice soft as he turns the container around in his fingers and peeks through the cracks as if looking for something. Yuna's eyes widen and she turns her head to look at him.

He puts the container down beside him and looks at her as well, a playful smile forming on his lips and a snaggletooth showing.

"Who would she go on a date with, though?"

Yerin quickly joins in their conversation, her elbow on her knee and her chin resting on top of her hand, her eyes flitting from Yuna, to Youngmin, and to Woojin.

Yuna twists around to her original seating position and keeps her eyes focused on the concrete ground in between her sneakers. By this time, she's pretty sure Yerin has told Woojin something she probably shouldn't have, being the amazing friend she is.

"Do you even like anyone, though?" Youngmin asks her curiously, tapping her shoulder for her to look at him. There's also a playful and curious glint in his eyes now, and he feels like such a kid that she finds it, him, cute.

Before she can say anything, though, Yerin beats her to it. "Of course she does, she's just too hard headed to confess to him."

"And you never told me?"

Now, Youngmin is pouting at her, and she is deliberately avoiding his eyes. If she looks at him now, she'd definitely blush, and Yerin being Yerin,would expose her crush.

"Well, I don't think the topic ever came up."

"So, would you tell me when we get back home?"

Now, Yerin is watching the both of them like a sitcom, and Woojin has suddenly disappeared from the bench.

She glances at Youngmin for a split second, before she shakes her head. "No."
