Love Letters

4: Oh My Hoshi!

Momoe's POV
"So like... are you guys a thing now...?" Mark points at me and Jinyoung.
"Yup." We nod.
"So have you guys kissed yet?" Jaebum blinks at us.
"Jaebum, we barely got together a few days ago." Jinyoung sighs.
"A few days ago?! Why didn't you tell us on that day?!" Jackson shakes me by the shoulders.
"Because you'd do that." I poke his forehead.
"But you guys were meant to be! Like look how cute you are! You're already holding hands!" Jackson fangirls.
"Shut up." We both give him a look.
"Dang, you're already in sync too?" Jaebum's eyebrows raise.
I sigh in annoyance and bury my face into Jinyoung's chest. He rubs my back and whispers to me it's okay and to calm down.
"They're annoying." I mutter in his shirt.
"Not me! I haven't said anything!" Youngjae shouts.
"Except you, sunshine. You're pure." I turn my head to smile at him.
"What did I do?!" Yugyeom pouts.
"You made another bet with BamBam on  who would confess first!" I raise an eyebrow.
"I didn't win!" He pouts.
"You still shouldn't be making a bet on stuff like that."
"Can you forgive me, noona? Please! I don't like you mad at me." He frowns.
"Buy me some food then maybe we'll be okay." I smirk.
"What do you want?" He leans closer to me.
"Hey, don't get so close. That's too close for my liking." Jinyoung pushes his face away.
"Can I steal her away for today?! We need to do stuff for linguistics and I need help with my Japanese!" Jackson begs on his knees like the dramatic person he is.
"Google it." Jinyoung states.
"That's so mean!" He pouts.
"I'll help you, Jackson." I laugh, standing up to get off the couch when I get yanked back down.
"Who said you can leave me?"
"Jinyoung, I have homework to do."
"But I just got you." He frowns.
"Ew that's gross. You two acting cute is not cute." BamBam gags.
"You're so rude!" I pout.
"It's true!"
"Fight me." I motion for him to come.
"Momoe! Come on~" Jackson whines.
"Fine. I'll let you go, but come right back to me after." Jinyoung whispers the last part to me so only I can hear.
"Of course." I smile before walking away.
"YOU ARE SO IN LOVE WITH NOONA!" I hear Youngjae yell as soon as I'm gone, making me laugh.

"I'm so glad you called us up. I never thought I'd be so excited to see someone get ready for their first date!" Brooklyn smiles.
"Yeah, it's cute that you're excited for this. Sometimes I wish I had a boy, but at the same time I don't." Duyen looks to the side as if she's contemplating life.
"Why won't you wear a skirt?!" Maeum complains to me.
"Because I feel like they show my underwear!"
"Then what about a dress? You need to look nice on your first date with him, Mo." Jia points her chip at me before stuffing it in her mouth.
"I mean I guess, but-"
"But what? You'll look pretty in it, even though you're always pretty, but I'm sure he'll melt for you when he sees you in it."
"Jia." I whine.
"Momoe." She mimics me.
"Ugh fine. But I'm wearing spanks under the dress so I feel comfortable."
"Eek! I'm so excited! Let's pick something out for you!" Maeum squeals and pulls me into the closet.
After about half an hour of changing my outfit a million times, I finally choose a simple pastel purple dress with some matching wedges. Jia curls my hair and applies some blush and mascara. Once I'm done, they make me walk into the room dramatically and take tons of pictures of me, screaming in excitement.
"Guys, calm down, please." I laugh, covering my face in embarrassment.
"No! You're so cute!" Jaslene hugs me tightly.
"Jas~" I pout.
"Alright! Alright! We'll leave you be. But when he comes to pick you up, we're gonna watch to see his reaction of you." Maeum smirks.
"Aish." I roll my eyes, smiling a bit as she hugs me from the side.
Just then the doorbell rings and I freeze. The girls all squeal and I have to cover my ears to keep myself from going deaf. Someone enters the rooms and we all stop and stare at the person entering. My dad stands at the door and stares at me. His eyes widen, but eventually it turns into a smile.
"Is that my daughter? I can't even recognize her." He smiles, grabbing my hands and spinning me to get a full 360 view.
"Arigato, papa." I smile.
"I think your date is here." He whispers to me.
"Oh! Jinyoung!" My eyes widen and I run down the stairs, faster than I have in my entire life.
I quickly open the door, out of breath already. Jinyoung turns his body to face me and his smile widens. He softly laughs, examining me.
"Beautiful~" His smile becomes brighter.
"T-thank you." My cheeks heat up.
"Shh! I'm trying to record this moment and you're ruining it!" I can hear Jia whisper yelling to the others.
"Jia Wang." I turn around, giving her a look.
The girls all freeze and pretend to look everywhere but us. I roll my eyes and turn to see my dad walking towards us. Jinyoung notices him too and I move out of the way for him to see my dad. Jinyoung bows politely to him, smiling confidently as he greets him.
"Hello, sir." His heavy Korean accent showing when he attempts to speak to him in English.
"Hello, Jinyoung." My dad nods at him, greeting him in Korean.
"You didn't tell me your appa knows Korean." Jinyoung whispers to me.
"Did I not tell you he wanted me to learn my native languages?" I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Well..." He shrugs.
"Please, be nice to my daughter. She's my precious angel." My dad gives him a look.
"Papa!" I cover my face, groaning in embarrassment.
"I'll make sure she'll be happy the whole time." Jinyoung smiles at him.
"What're they saying, Maeum?"
"He just told her dad that he'll make sure she's happy." Maeum squeals after translating for them.
"Aww!" They all say.
"Lets get going then." Jinyoung smiles as he grabs my hand.
"Bye, papa... Bye, girls!" I scream so they all hear me.
"Bye, Mo!
"Have fun!"
They rush to the door and wave bye to me with delight. I smile at them before walking out with Jinyoung. He walks me to the car and opens it for me, being the gentleman he is. I thank him then we're off to who knows where.
We arrive at a drive in movie theater about twenty minutes later and my eyes widen in joy. I turn to Jinyoung and already I see the smirk on his face.
"We're at the drive in!" I state.
"I know! We're gonna see Beauty and the Beast."
"Really?! Oh my goodness! I'm excited! I love the original!" I clap, laughing a bit.
After he pays for us, we drive to a spot we think would be great to watch the movie from. As soon as he pulls into the spot, we unbuckle and get comfortable in our seats.
"Do you want any popcorn?" He asks.
"Please." I smile at him.
"Okay. I'll be back then." He smiles back before going to buy the snacks.
He gets back just before the start of the previews and I thank him when he hands me the popcorn bucket. During the movie, I can feel him occasionally staring at me. At the part where Belle starts singing the song "Something There", I can really feel him staring at me and he won't look away.
"Jinyoung, I can feel you staring." I smirk, not looking at him.
He doesn't say anything so I get suspicious. I look over at him weirdly only to be surprised with lips against mine. My heart pounds as my head spins from the sudden attack of love. I don't kiss back immediately, in fact I'm surprised he even had the courage to go for the kiss. I sigh into the kiss and cup his cheeks. He pulls away with wide eyes and he laughs a little, a small smile coming from him.
"You kissed back." He states.
"Of course I did. Why wouldn't I?" I giggle.
He simply smiles and grabs my hand. He sits back in his car seat and smiles as he looks up at the screen. I smile, biting my lip a bit before turning to the screen too. I lean my head on his shoulder and I feel him look at me. He squeezes my hand tighter before going back to the screen. The next thing I know, my eyes are droopy and I fall into dreamland.
-
Screams and horror music reach my ears when I regain consciousness. I feel pressure on top of my head, soon realizing Jinyoung fell asleep too. I open my eyes and rub them, making Jinyoung move too. We look at each other and blink without saying anything. We both turn to look at the screens just as a jump scare in the movie happens. We scream and I fumble to put on my seatbelt, immediately covering my eyes.
"Why'd you fall asleep?! I thought you were going to stay up!"
"It's not my fault I fell asleep! You fell asleep so I fell asleep!"
"Well lets go home, please. I hate scary movies."
"You're lame." He chuckles teasingly.
"Shut up."
He drives off and as soon as I know we're far from the drive in, I sigh in relief. He looks over at me once in a while and I can totally see the smirk on his face.
"You really don't like horror movies, huh?" He asks.
"No! I'm a baby." I pout.
"Yes... You are."
"You're so mean!"
"Yet you like me."
"Be quiet."
He laughs. The rest of the car ride is silent, mostly because I fall asleep. I feel him pick me up when we arrive at the boys' apartment. But because I'm all out of energy I just cuddle up to his chest and let him carry me inside, listening to what's going on around me.
"Geez, you're so lazy..." he sighs, "But you're too cute when you sleep." He whispers.
I smile unconsciously and take a deep breath as I relax more in his embrace. Loud noises enter my ears as I hear the boys getting excited that we're home.
"You're home! Where'd you go?!"
"Did you have fun?!"
"Did you kiss?"
"Ooh~" The boys tease him.
"First of all, shut up. She's asleep." He lifts me up a bit, "To answer your questions... We went to the drive in, of course we had fun, and... yes."
"Eek! Finally! I've been waiting for this moment since you guys met!" Jackson squeals.
"You're annoying. I'm gonna lay Momoe on my bed. She'll be sleeping in there tonight. Do not bother her, you hear me?"
"Yes, mom." They all sadly agree.
Once he sets me in bed and tucks me under the blankets, I blink my eyes open and turn to face him, tiredly.
"Jinyoung?"
"Oh, you're awake?"
I hum in response, rubbing my eyes.
"Can you s-stay here till I fall asleep?" My face reddens.
His smile widens and he nods. He lays above the covers and faces me. We stare at each other, not saying a word. We don't need to. He looks down at my hand and intertwines ours together, placing our hands in between us.
"Get some sleep." He whispers.
"Okay." My voice is barely audible, but I close my eyes and do as told.
"Goodnight, my princess."
