Dormmates | NCT Jaehyun

Chapter 18

There you were, standing by the dining table, wearing a white dress holding a birthday cake like a beautiful angel.

The way you smiled brightly, the way your eyes turned crescent-shaped, the way you laughed. Jaehyun's heart raced and he knew you were the one.

"Y-you all did this for me?"

"Correction, it was Y/N's idea. We only brought you out."

"I thought...I thought all of you forgot..."

"We wouldn't forget about the Valentine boy."

Jaehyun grinned so widely, his dimples and whiskers were visible on his face.

"Make a wish, dummy, the candles are melting into the cake." You giggled.

He closed his eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candles.

Doyoung, Mark, and Haechan laughed and made fun of how red Jaehyun's ears were.

"Let's eat! The food is getting cold already!"

"Y/N, you made all this?"

You nodded with a smile.

"Yah, she baked the cake too, you better finish it, hyung! I will tell noona to send a picture to us!"

"Oh you won't have to worry about that." He smirked secretly at you.

You swallowed a lump, braining spinning on what is he gonna do.

Jaehyun placed the cake into the fridge and all of you proceeded to have your meal.

-

It was exactly 6 o'clock in the evening when the three boys decided to leave. We only watched movies, played games, and had some good talks in the living room for the few hours. People say good times end fast, and they really do. You thought only an hour has passed.

"We'll be leaving now. I'm driving them home." Doyoung said.

"Don't you want to stay for dinner? We could have pizza delivery."

Mark glanced at Jaehyun before turning back to me, "No thanks noona, hyung has a confe―ouch! Why did you slap me?!"

"There was a mosqitoe on your face."

Mark frowned at Haechan before Doyoung decided to drag them out before they could randomly blurt anything else.

"Bye! Happy Birthday Jae! Hope to hear good news from you!"

"Bye hyung! Bye noona!"

"Use protection!"

They screamed through the hallway.

Jaehyun gasped and closed the door immediately. The silence was so awkward, especially after Haechan said to use protection.

We never used them so...

Your dormmate dragged you to the living room and sat you down on the couch before sitting beside you.

"Uh...I uh...have something to ask for your advice..."

You stared at him in confusion.

"It's about the girl I like..."

Oh.

You totally forgot about it. Your smile dropped a bit but managed to look back at him.

"When are you confessing to her?"

"Should I do it now?"

"S-sure! I'm sure anyone would accept you! You're the sweetest person I've ever met!"

"I guess I'll call her...I don't think I could confess in front of her..."

Suddenly, your phone rang from your room. You thanked it for ringing at the right timing.

"Oh, I guess I need to get that call, tell me whether she accepted when I come back aight?" You smiled at him and turned to your room with a broken heart.

With tears brimming and blocking your vision, you picked up the call without looking at the ID.

"Hello?"

"I like you, Y/N. I, Jung Jaehyun, fell in love with you."
