[Exopink: Kaieun] I'mperfect life

Confession

The practice sessions have began, both naeun and kai were excited at thought of meeting each other. Their eyes shined as soon as they received a text about their meeting place and time. Naeun was in the dorm watching the text blankly. Hayoung who was passing by glanced at her phone and grinned. She tapped her shoulder making her snap "So? Your fate brought you again together? At least stop running now" she advised. Naeun smiled weakly "It is probably too late" she replied. Hayoung sighed "Is it fine if take a chance?" she asked excitedly. Naeun wondered "For what?" she asked carefully. Hayoung blushed "Hmm...I am interested in kai. I want to ask him out. If you are uninterested then i might...you know" she said shrugging her shoulders. Naeun froze "O...oh...Y..Yeah....b. but....of course...why not" she answered hesitantly. "Fine...then. Better late than never" hayoung left grinning. Naeun was disturbed by her sudden confession. She felt troubled thinking about the possibility.

The scheduled meeting was at dance studio kai owned. It was naeun's first time coming over so she was really excited. She saw it many times on the internet about his academy but looking at it personally is the best. The receptionist welcomed her "This way please, you can wait for him here. He had some personal stuff to take care of" she said guiding her to his room. "Is it really okay? I mean i can wait for him at the dance room" naeun suggested while the kind lady objected. Telling her to relax, she left the place leaving her alone. Naeun felt awkward and glanced through his room. It was a pretty simple room but every inch of it screamed dance and passion. Her eyes landed on the pictures placed on the table. She took them each and giggled as they were his childhood pictures "Cute" she mumbled gently touching them. "Really?" asked jongin from behind making her gasp. Hurriedly she put the pictures in its place and turned around "Sorry...I...without permission" she stuttered.

Jongin walked towards her after a giving a slight glance at his phone "It is fine but what are you so sorry about?" he questioned. Realizing he might have not heard her she relaxed "No, nothing" she gave a short reply. The air was awkward again. "So, shall we start?" he went straight to the point. "It's fine by me" she gave a short reply probably because she was holding her breath. Things were strictly professional between them. They discussed the details, jongin choreographed the performance in his head and the same was explained it to her. Needless to say, naeun was impressed yet again. His eyes which showed the passion were inspiring yet adorable to her. Somehow, it reminded of the days they were at school but now they are adults but one thing she noticed were her feelings. Still, she yearned for him, for his love "Of course, they won't go away so easily. My feelings for jongin aren't an illusion or a passing fancy. Trying to get over him is next to impossible" she thought.

Jongin was the same; perhaps the professionalism was just a mask to cover his anxious and nervous self. Never had he felt this feeling with anyone but she, whenever she was with him, his actions and words doesn't match. He knew he can't run away anymore but he doesn't want to push her. Was he ready to commit another mistake? Probably no but how would he explain it to her that he was...is still in love with her. "I wish you could see these feelings through my eyes" he thought to himself, his eyes set on her. Their practice continued for a while. Both fell down breathing hard on the ground. "I didn't know you could dance this well" he expressed. A smile passed on her face on his complement "I started loving it" she simply said. "Oh! It might because of that inspiration i guess" he asked carefully. Naeun nodded "Probably it is less than his passion" she explained. Jongin was curious "It's taemin, isn't it?" he asked coldly thinking she still might have feelings for him. "No!!" naeun declared, her voice rose a bit. Jongin was startled. "I mean....no....it is not him.....i didn't talk to him since then" she expressed calmly this time. Jongin sighed. A call interrupted them.
