saturday - dance for me / lee daehwi

40: over-protective

+ haeun

daniel, daehwi, justin, samuel, baejin, and i were sitting by a fountain.

kids were running around, couples were on dates, families were out having fun.

" i am tired already and all we did was ride a bus to this part of town... and sat by a fountain. " i say, laying my head on daehwi's shoulder.

" you can rest if you want... we can all go play at an arcade nearby later on. " justin says, putting his blazer over my lap because it was very windy outside... and sitting down while wearing a skirt on a windy day isn't the best thing.

justin was very protective when it came to those things. he would always have an extra jacket in his bag if i were to ever be cold. he would carry around extra masks whenever my allergies act up. and he always had two snapbacks in his bag because i like wearing snapbacks and i usually end up stealing his.

he encourages that i wear the hat though because he says that i am "too pretty to be walking around with my beautiful face shown to everyone".

" so... what's the deal with sarang? " jinyoung asks.

" well... samuel hyung and her... aren't a thing anymore. and she's apparently 'sick' right now so we can't do much. " justin says.

" i don't wanna hear about this while i am drowsy. i might fall asleep and have a nightmare about her. " i mumble.

" i didn't think she was that bad. i just thought she was pretty. and i thought she was introverted and liked to keep to herself. but i guess she has a little squad in another class... and she doesn't have much power without them. she acts all nice for the first few weeks but after that, she gets tired of you and immediately looks for the negative in you. apparently she's still salty about how haeun thinks she has the power and chose to slap her or something. " samuel mumbles.

" hey dongsaeng! are you hungry? " daniel asks, taking some snacks from his bag and handing them to me.

" thank you! " i say, feeding one to daehwi.

" open your mouth! yeorojwo! " i say, tapping his cheek.

he smiles, then opens his mouth so i could feed him.

he takes one of the snacks and feeds it to me and after munching on the small snack, i went back to resting on his shoulder.

" hey, haeun. how's your eye? " jinyoung asks.

" it's alright. it doesn't hurt as much anymore. " i say, softly.

" you keep on getting hurt. " samuel says, giggling. " when i first became friends with you, you hurt your ankle. "

" and then she got sick with some headache thingy, worrying a lot of us. " justin says.

" and then she got beat up by seulbi... her fingers had cuts all over them because they were squished in the locker. and then her face was all bruised. " daniel adds.

" that happened right before i moved to our school. " jinyoung adds.

" and now she was attacked by some seven year old. he kicked a soccer ball at her face... and she looks like that guy from the fire nation in avatar. " justin says.

daehwi played with my hair. he was surprisingly not very talkative.

" at least i look cool! zuko looks super legit! " i say.

" i mean, you don't look as cool with that eye patch on. " daehwi says, adding to the conversation with a laugh.

" true, true. woojin gave me this eye patch for school, though. mine as well keep it on or else i will lose it. " i say.

" let's go to the arcade! i wanna beat haeun in something! " baejin says, getting up from his seat.

" me? well, that's gonna be challenging because baby, i am a flipping legendary and invincible human being! i can beat you at anything and everything! " i say, standing up and making a confident and powerful pose.

justin's blazer almost fell on the floor because of that, but luckily daehwi caught it in time.

" she is good at everything except for the claw machine thing. " daehwi says, handing the blazer to justin.

" shut up! " i say, skipping beside baejin.

he begins to chuckle at me.

" aww look at how cute! but i promise i will beat you at something! how much you wanna bet? " he says.

" th-- "

" three cents. " samuel mumbles, cutting me off. " everytime someone asks to bet, she says three cents. "

" oh, by the way, samuel! you owe me three cents because of last time. " i say.

" mm... okay. " he says, humming in response.

" well...? let's go! " i say, pulling the four of them off of their butts.

jinyoung and i were leading the way for we were way too excited.

once we got there, we played almost every single game.

leaving a few hours later, i was smiling.

" hah, i beat you in everything! " i say to baejin.

" i mean, i beat you at the claw machine. you really suck when it comes to that game. " he responds, chuckling.

" ooh, and i beat you in that car racing game! " daniel says.

" i'm beat, though. i didn't know that haeun was that good. " samuel says earning a nod from justin.

" she's always been in love with games. but i always lose no matter how confident i am so... " justin says.

" see? my girlfriend is unstoppable! " daehwi says, putting his arm around me.

" thanks for winning this candy, daehwi oppa! i was hungry. " i say, munching on the candy.

he pats my head happily and pecks my nose.

" you're welcome~ " he sings.

" eww... you guys are nasty. " justin says, covering his eyes with his hand.

samuel pretends to throw up and baejin just chuckles.

daniel fake cries. " my dongsaeng is all grown up... "

" welp... let's go to justin's house. binge some drama and eat ramen? " i say, smiling.

" i am soooo down! " jinyoung says, laughing.

the rest nod their heads agreeingly, causing me to smile in excitement.

i love my little group of friends... i couldn't do anything without them.

(a/n: the hurricane hit earlier today + i had no power... now that i have power, i chose to update! it's all flooded by where my school is, so i won't have school for a few more days... i will try and update then! :))
