"You okay?" I ask, tapping Jaemin on the schoulder.

The sun had already set when we got back. Right now we were all heading back inside the house for dinner.

When Jaemin doesn't respond, I grab him by the arm.

"Hey Jaemi-"

"-Just leave me alone!" Jaemin screams, turning to face me and shaking my hand off.

My eyes are wide.
But I'm not the only one. Chenle and Jeno freeze in their tracks and turn to face us.

"Wha..." I trail off, licking my lips that suddenly felt dry. For some reason, I felt all choked up. Jaemin never raised his voice at me.

I don't know why but for some reason, my eyes start to water a bit although I try to blink them away, opting to stare at the ground so that they won't see my possible tears.

When I look back up, I see Jaemin staring at me with wide eyes as well.

"Wait y/n-"

"-Fine. I don't know why the fuck you're suddenly acting like this but fine. I'll leave you alone"

I take a deep breath before walking passed Jaemin and heading towards the house.

At first, I felt sad at the fact that he screamed. But when the situation sunk in, I felt mad. Mad at the sudden out burst.

"Hey you're ba-" I hear Mark say, but before he could finish his statement, I already slammed the door to my room shut. As cliche as this sounded, the first thing I did was drop my bag and jump face down on the bed, screaming on my pillow before rolling around and messing up the covers.

"What the fuck was his problem?!" I muttered in frustration, staring at the ceiling.

I continue to mutter a string of curse words but a knock on the door cuts me off. "Who is it?" I mutter, still a little irritated.

"It's me"

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. "Come in 'Le" 

Chenle slowly walks in the room, closing the door behind him before gesturing for me to move aside so that he could lay down beside me.

"y/n-"

"-if you're here to tell me to make amends with Jaemin then just leave please"

"I was here to ask you if you wanted to talk about it but-"

"-oh. Okay them um..." I purse my lips as I try to organize my thoughts. "Well. I'm sad. And mad. And... very confused"

At the end of my statement I notice Chenle sit up and turn to face me with wide eyes.

"Confused?"

"Yeah"

"Why?"

It's my turn to sit up and stare at Chenle with a shocked expression. "What do you mean why?"

"I mean why are you confused"

"I don't know"

"y/n that doesn't make sense. There has to be a reason wh-"

"-Because I'm not really mad!" I suddenly burst out. Chenle just furrows his brows. "What do you-"

"-Chenle I know that I'm supposed to be mad at Jaemin's actions but for some reason I can't seem to stay mad and I actually want to run to him right now and apologize even though I don't what the fuck I did wrong and I don't know why I'm like this" 

Towards the end of statement, voice goes soft and I break down. Chenle immediately engulfs me in an embrace. "Hey hey... relax. Things will get better"

"Why am I like this?" I whisper. When I hear Chenle chuckling, I pull away, wiping the tears in my eyes.

"Why are you laughing?"

"Just because" He says, unable to hold back his giggles which eventually turn into dolphin like laughter.

"YAH ZHONG CHENLE!" I hit his arm, still not understanding what he's trying to say. "OW"

Chenle rubs the spot I hit, a pout forming on his face before he says "You seriously don't know why you're acting like this?" 

I nod my head. Chenle sighs.

"Does Jaemin make you smile a lot?" 

"Yeah I guess"

"Does he make your heart race?" I roll my eyes at Chenle's random questions. "Yeah duh" "Does he make your cheeks feel hot?" "Yes he does Chenle" I notice the fact that Chenle's trying to hold back his laughter but choose to ignore him.

"Does he make you happy?"

"Yes he does! Chenle I don't see the point of all of these questions. Just tell me what's wrong with-" I stop speaking and my eyes go wide when I realize what Chenle's trying to say. When he sees my reaction, he ends up bursting into another fit of dolphin laughs.

"You get it now?" He asks with an amused smile. "ISN'T NORMAL TO FEEL THOSE THINGS AROUND FRIENDS?!"

"WHAT THE FUCK Y/N IT ISN'T" Chenle says in between laughs. "SO YOU'RE SAYING-" I stop myself from finishing my statement before I cover my mouth in shock.

"Holy shit" I mutter, still not fully processing the situation.

"I think I like Jaemin"

"Well congratulations y/n! You're officially the last person to know" Chenle says, patting my back.
