Walk You Home || L. Jeno

Chapter Eleven

• JIE •

It's monday again so it means that we have classes.... WHICH IS GREAT!

I'm happily walking to school on these quiet pavements thinking how my day will end today.  I hope it ends well though.  

Me and Jaemin have been getting well along.  It's too bad that I haven't been with the girls and the others that often because of our schedule conflicts.  There was an announcement that they will be extending their stay on their project, promotion or whatever you call it so... I'll be with the Dreamers for a while.

Jeno has been acting very weird.  It's not that I do not want him wanting my attention, it's just that he acts all of the sudden! 

"JIE!" I shot back to reality and looked at the very obvious person who called me.

"What the hell are you doing here early in the morning?!" I asked him and ran to him.

Together, we walked side by side.  Out from the Village.

"Picking you up! Don't you like it? a handsome boy picking you up? huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows and I just rolled my eyes at him.

Seriously, what is wrong with him today? Did he eat something contaminated?

"Na uh, I eat fresh food.  I just wanted to see you so I came to pick you up! From now on, let's go to school together." The atmosphere suddenly became hot.

I looked down didn't know what came over me.  My lips just suddenly curved upward and I became shy. 

I felt a finger poke my cheek.  I turned to look at him and gave him a death glare. 

"You're blushing! I wasn't informed you blush!" He said teasingly.

"No! I don't blush!"

"Oh really? Then what do you call a person who's face suddenly became red?" 

"Oh shut up! It's just hot" 

"It's hot but you're already wearing a sweatshirt and a jacket." 

Accepting my defeat, I shut my mouth.  I'm not gonna lie, what he said a while ago really made me have the butterflies.  

Taking a sneak peek at his beautiful face, he accidentally also glaced at me.  Or... Was it accidental?

My heart skipped a beat.  I think I'm slowly falling in love with this guy.

"I might melt if you keep on staring at me.." I tried my best to look at another direction.  

Damn! I'm scared... I'm suddenly scared that I might get attached to him and fall then what? He won't catch me? huh! Great! turns out I'll be hurt again.

But.. this is Jeno... He's not like any other guys isn't he? Arrghh!! I don't know anymore!

"Hey, what's wrong?" He gently asked.  I didn't mean to answer him arrogantly, I didn't even know what got over me!

"Nothing! Nothing is wrong!" I yelled at him and ran to Neo Tech not minding him anymore.

Why am I suddenly like this?!

I stopped running as soon as I reached the campus.  I quickly went to the garden and hid there panting heavily. 

Taking a peak at the gate, I felt disappointed, angry and sad because he didn't ran after me! Of course! who am I to him?! Who am i to expect him to run after me?!  

I got so angry that I accidentally hit the tree beside me repeatedly, I kicked it due to my anger.  I didn't even know I was already crying.

"Hey! hey! Stop! stop! Please! You're hurting yourself!" That familiar voice said. 

I didn't bother looking at him because my mind is closed.  Not right now.  Not when I'm angry.

I didn't stop hitting the damn tree.  I kept on hurting it.

The person who made me stop a while ago just hugged me.  He hugged me like there was no tomorrow, like he's holding onto dear life.  He held me really tight! 

He slowly dragged me away from the tree still hugging me.  

"Sshhhh, stop crying.  Who made you cry? Tell me! I will kill that person!" He said.  He grabbed my head and but it on his chest.  

He was gently caressing my head, soothing me, comforting me.  My crying had quiet down, and I calmed down.  I am now listening to his heartbeat.  His heartbeat is so fast.  Did he ran after me?

I looked at him.  When i did, he flashed his beautiful smile at me and stroked some strands of hair away from my face.  My chin is still resting on his chest while he's hugging me and caressing the back of my head.

"Did you just ran after me?" He smiled and nodded.  I again, put my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat.  That's why it's so fast.. He ran to catch me.

If you would look at us, you might think we're a couple having a PDA moment here.  I'm glad he's always there for me.  I don't know what I'd do without this guy.

I'm so thankful I met him.  I met Jaemin who is now hugging me, comforting me, soothing me.  Somehow, I feel really happy that Jaemin ran after me, just for me.
