Naeun didn't look like herself today, I'm so worried. "Naeun, are you okay? you don't look yourself today." "Yeah I'm okay. you don't need to worry about me." Naeun told him with a smile. "So oppa? what happened? why did you look so mad just a while ago?" Naeun asked. Taemin laughed " oh it's because my hyungs went to a party without inviting me." Naeun laughed before she could speak "oh really?" that sucks big time" "yeah it does" *Taemin laughs* *Taemin gets Naeun's hands and holds it* "Naeun, i love you and will always will!" *Naeun tears up a little* "i love you too, Taemin oppa!" *both* "forever and always" After a while the waiter went to us with our food. "Here are your orders sir. 2 classic pastas and 2 cokes." "Thank you" Taemin said with a smile.

Naeun's POV

*while eating* i kept thinking to myself "no. I can't tell him yet. I don't wanna leave him yet. i love him so much, i can't leave him" *Taemin* "hey Naeun?" *Naeun* "yes?" "your phone's ringing" oh shoots it's mom. "oh sorry, i will answer it hold on" *Naeun's mom* "Naeun, have you told Taemin yet?" *Naeun* *talking to Taemin* "um Taemin oppa, may i be excused for a while?" *Taemin* oh sure! okay! *Naeun leaves right away* *Naeun* Umma, i haven't yet. i don't want to leave him yet. *Naeun's mom* But honey, we have to let him know before the day comes. *Naeun hangs up and goes back to Taemin* *Taemin* are you okay? why did your mom call so suddenly? *Naeun* oh it's nothing, she just wanted to check on me you know the usual mom questions. *both laugh* *Taemin* Awww your mom is so cute. *Naeun looks annoyed* *Taemin* But of course you're cuter. *smiles and holds Naeun's hand* *Naeun* thank you!
