KAI

Aryx Yinje Lim?

Yeah, she's pretty, to be honest. But there's one problem-she has a resemblance of a tsundere. A tsundere is someone who is violent or mean on the outside, but shows sweetness later on. I wonder if I can change her and ever see her good side? From the girls I met, she's the only one that made me feel different-really. I had never felt like this. I wanted to see her smile, through just my simple actions. What is up with her that makes me feel this way?

"Kyungsoo?" I heard her call out from the kitchen.

"Yes, jagiya?"

"You need anything? Snacks? Drinks? I'm heading out for grocery shopping." She tucked a piece of her hair in her ear. He put his index finger on his chin, "Nah, no snacks for me. But can you pick up some fresh tomatoes in the market? I need them for tomorrow."

"Sure." She kissed Kyungsoo on the cheek and went to the shoe cabinet. "Kai," she turned to look at me while tying her shoes. "Is there anything you need?"

"No, thanks. But, thank you." I replied to her. Well, I didn't want anything but to know her more. Cheesy, am I right? You would think someone like me would just come up to a pretty girl, grab her waist and tell her to be mine for the rest of my life? Uhm, nope. I'm definitely not that type. I just really wanted to know her more. I grabbed my bottle of juice while listening to Just One Day by BTS.

"Kyungsoo?" Sehun peered over the kitchen door. "we'll just go back here when dinner comes, okay?"

"Oh sure! No problem." He didn't even bother to look at us. He was busy cooking dinner for all of us. Haha, I get him. I knew it was his passion. And I'm telling you this honestly-he has some excellent cooking skills, tbh. "Oh by the way, Aryx didn't ask you what you wanted? She's going grocery shopping."

"Nah, noona knows what I want."

"Hey, come on, dude." Sehun grabbed my wrist forcefully as he tried to make my lazy ass stand up from the couch. "Promise me that you won't disturb me in sleep later, okay?" He rolled his eyes, successfully pulling me out of my own misery.

As we were silently making our way to the house [ which was so near their house that it only took about two minutes to travel ] Sehun spoke up and broke the silence. And let me tell you-I didn't like what he did. "Kai, do you like her?" I spilled my drink on the pavements and wiped my mouth. 

"What kind of question is that? Of course, I don't!" I said firmly while looking at my now wet shirt. "Seems like you do." I heard him mumble. Uh, this fucking maknae. He just irritates the hell out of me sometimes. For God's sake, if he wasn't cute [ or atleast he didn't look and act like a twelve year old ]

I swear to myself I would have slapped his face earlier. "Look, Sehun. I just want to be her friend, that's all."

"Oh, for God's sake, Kim Jongin, stop fooling around with me. I know you do, but it's all about Kyungsoo, isn't it?" I raised my eyebrow, looked up the sky then looked down again. "I kind of do...?"

"Then do something about it!" He yelled at me like my life was his too. I don't want to mess with anyone's business right now. "I don't want to ruin their relationship, Sehun. They've been both your friends for a long time-you shouldn't be condoning such things like making them break up."
