It would be a lie that Joo's heart didn't flutter when Youngmin smiled at her and said those words. The way he looked down and had his eyes sparkling made her the happiest person on earth. Who wouldn't feel this way if their bias offered to walk them home?Joo happily nodded and began to walk with Youngmin following by her side.
He was awkward, she was awkward. The two didn't know how to start a conversation. Joo personally didn't mind if Youngmin didn't speak at all, but Youngmin on the other hand wanted to know more about her. He just didn't know how.
He texts Donghyun on what to do and the only answer he got was "Get her damn number you idiot."
Youngmin groaned in annoyance which made Joo stop her tracks. She quickly looked over at Youngmin who tilted his head back with his face scrunching as if he hurt himself or something.
"Hm?" Joo hummed and raised her eyebrows.
"Ugh..no it's nothing. I just.."
Joo kept her eyebrows raised showing Youngmin that she was waiting for an answer, but he shook his head.
"Did you hurt yourself?"
"No. I just...yeah I have a headahe." Youngmin sighed and facepalmed himself.
He couldn't be straight up with her. He was always dumb founded whenever he has some words to say which annoyed him and the fact that he ended up lying made him feel even much more of an idiot.
Joo felt worried again. She thought to herself that maybe she was right. Maybe he did have a fever because he was sweaty and heated in the first place. Maybe he said she was pretty because he was having an illusion. She pouted at that thought because she was actually hoping he was calling her pretty which made her question herself again. "So am I pretty?" She mumbled.
Youngmin immediately brought his head up, but hits a pole that was in front of him. He was looking down at the floor as he was contemplating on how stupid he was that he didn't realize what was coming for his forehead.
The big thud made Joo flinch and she pinched her eyes closed at the sound of it. As soon as she peeked them open, she sees Youngmin covering his forehead and hissing through the pain.
"Ah...uhm...oh my gosh." She said as she rushed to Youngmin. "Let me see it."
"No, it's fin-" Joo quickly cuts him off and snatched his hand away from covering his forehead. Of course Youngmin was embarrassed, but Joo didn't care at that point. She knew the boy needed help anyways since she assumed he had a "fever" when honestly, we all know the truth.
