Love Is A Tricky Thing || i.jaebum

part xix

the next time i saw him, my voice caught in my throat and i couldn't speak.

my voice had ditched me.

"hey," he said, smiling that cheeky grin that makes my heart flutter.

"h-hey," i stutter, trying to lace a smile onto my face.

"so, i heard that jinyoung told you about my little crush?"

"um, yeah? why?"

"well," he says sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck, "i was hoping...maybe you could give me some advice?"

this is a side of him i hadn't seen till now. the embarrassed shy side.

i started at him. "advice...? you know i've never been in a relationship right?"

he seemed surprised at that. "really?"

i nodded.

"oh...then, can i ask a few questions anyways?"

i smiled at him sadly, trying to conceal the pain my heart was enduring. "you don't have to ask me to ask. we're friends."

friends.
