NANA
34: concealing ourselves.
it was monday, as a normal lunch break we all sat in the canteen with a tray filled with delicious food. i tried to twist open the cap of the bottle of orange juice. what did i expect? i'm very weak. i felt jeno's fingertip touch my hand, so slightly and deliberately grabbed the bottle away from mine. "here let me help you." he whispered softly as i looked up at him, smiling widely since he's being such a boyfriend material. he opened the bottle with a snap and handed it back to me. "thanks."
"are both of you feeling better?" harvey asked after he took a bite of his sandwhich. both me and jeno didn't answer, since we didn't realize he was questioning us. "jeno, nana." mark spoke which made us look up.
"ehh?" me and jeno both made the sound. they all stared at us for each other, but then mirae giggled. "aww you guys spend too much time together, even nana starts saying ehh." mirae made it obvious and smirked at me as i tried to keep an expressionless face.
"are you feeling better? both of you?" mark asked while smiling. "why wouldn't we?" jeno nervously asked, both our eyes locked into each other and was never so anxious before. had they already noticed? "yeah, we are totally fine." i assured them while firmly grabbing tight on the bottle with trembling hands.
"i don't know." harvey shrugged his shoulders. "we saw you guys wiping off your tears, after you both went back inside where we cleaned after the party at friday." jaemin explained which made everyone nod.
shit. they must have seen us with teary eyes when me and jeno decided to go back in, after we both confidently confessed to each other. at least they didn't see us confess, hug each other and all that had to do with romance. if harvey, i don't know about mark but if harvey saw that we would possibly be kicked out.
"ohh..." i gulped. "what even happened back there? did something happen?" renjun asked and was curious, even now attentive at the topic. both me and jeno blinked rapidly as mirae looked nervous, as nervous as me.
"maybe she's just sad she had throw the garbage." jisung guessed. everyone looked at him as he shyly blushed. "trash throwing a plastic bag of trash away!" chenle started to laugh, his laugh was melting my heart. he's always this adorable?
i laughed at his sayings, not even showing if i got offended or felt pain. "very funny chenle." i giggled as the others laughed as well.
luckily after that, chenle commenced to tell more joke which made the topic about me and jeno slowly fade away. i thank chenle for changing the topic. it was so difficult, imagine if chenle didn't made that joke what could've have happen to us? this was so much difficult that i expected. are we even gonna last for long? i really hope we do.
i looked at jeno as we both exchange a weak smile. in our eyes, we could tell that we both spoke to each other that we could do it. but it seems pretty impossible.
note: i love gfriend. i love umji, she's my bias. i love their voice is so stable ahsjagakskegs!
