Foreordained. || Park Jinyoung fanfic

I like you.

"If you feel better tomorrow, can I take you on a date?"
.
.
"Where are you going when you just got back?" Carl asks confused as he observes me reapplying my makeup.
"Date." I reply busily.
"Elaborate." Short sentences means he's getting annoyed.
"Why are you annoyed?" I ask as I look at him through the mirror.
"I'm not annoyed."
"Jackson." I answer.
"Yesterday's guy?" He asks again.
"Okay Carl. Enough. What's wrong?" I finally turn towards him as I put down my mascara down.

"I didn't say anything." He shrugs his shoulders.
"Alright." I say sarcastically as I turn around to finish up my make up.
"I don't like him." He says
"Who?"
"That Jackson guy."
"Why not?" I ask unbothered because he doesn't like any other guy apart from him.
"Something about him isn't right." He sits down to pretend more serious.
"Okay. Let's talk about it later." I say as I wear my shoes.
"Don't go. I don't like him. He's a player."
......"A player?" I scoff at Carl.
"Let's not have this conversation Carl. At least not now."
"Carl just let her be, she knows what she's doing." Vernecia says as he leans against the door.

Carl looks at me dead in the eyes as he speaks. "If you leave right now, I wouldn't be able to consider you my friend anymore."
"Are you serious? You really gonna fight over something like this?" I hear vernecia speak as she positions herself infront of an angry Carl.

I'm sorry Carl, but I really don't see why I shouldn't be going.

"I'll be back early." I finally speak as I grab my keys and reach out to door knob. I could feel Carl's electric shots running through my body and yet, I turn the knob and walk out to the place I was supposed to meet Jackson.
.
.
"Can we not eat here?" I turn to Jackson as I scan the menu.
Jackson looks at me confused as he looks up from his menu but seemed to comprehend.
"Don't worry about the price." He smiles
"I have a place we could go." I whisper.
.
.
"LELYAN!" The old man greets as he sees me.
"Mr. Tom, how have you been?"
"Very well. What would you like to have today?"
.
.
"Woah. Vendors actually have food like this." I hear Jackson say as he munches his food.
.
.
We go to the near by park...
Should I tell him? What if I get embarrassed? Would it get awkward later? Ugh jsjeboslalwodbbs!!

"Lelyan?"
"Oh?" I say immediately as I realize I've zoned out.

"I like you."
