Love Is A Tricky Thing || i.jaebum

part xi

it's thursday today, and the performance is tomorrow. i'm a little stressed since he and i haven't practiced together in a while.

so i go find him again at lunch today.

"hey," i say, no doubt blushing. "since we couldn't practice yesterday, do you think we could today? i can ask ms. lee to let us borrow a practice room after school."

his friends whistle behind him, and he gave them a glare before looking back at me. "sure. i'll see you then," he says, smiling.

i smile back and excuse myself before leaving. i'm such a mess in front of him, and the time i can seem to calm down around him is when we're rehearsing or performing.

before i get that far, i heard someone from the roof ask, "hyung, who's that?"

and then i hear his voice, soft and gentle, "my partner."

i know he meant a performance partner, but hearing him say that made me so happy.
