"Is it fine with you?" Hyunjin asked, as he and I started talking.

"Of course. It's meant to happen, Hyunjin. It's better if we talk about it," I replied, and then he smiled at me before nodding.

Actually, he went to my room while the boys have are in my living room. Stray Kids said they wanted to hang out, but here we are, in my room, because he said he wanted to talk about something.

"I told you, Yejin. It's not just me. I'm not the only one who likes you. Seungmin... he, he likes you too but he's too shy to admit it. He told us he won't confess to you even if his body would rot. I just... I wanna ask if he has a chance with you?" Hyunjin asked, and I widened my eyes.

Didn't he say that he likes me, too? Then why is he saying these words to me? What was I supposed to think?

"Hyunjin. You shouldn't have told me that. We should have waited for Seungmin to tell me about it himself. Why would you ask me?" I said, and then he sighed.

My brows furrowed, as he took my hand. He looks anxious, somehow.

As much as I was a little annoyed that he spoiled Seungmin's supposed feelings, I couldn't help but find him cute. The way his lips would slightly turn into a pout as he told me about it, I couldn't resist it.

"I just... wanted to know if he stood a chance. We both... we both like you, Yejin. And he doesn't have any intention of ever confessing to you. I felt like he was missing out and maybe he stood a chance, and-"

I shut him up. His eyes widened, and I gripped on his sleeve. I was embarrassed about what I did, but I couldn't stop.

My lips were on his, his soft sweet lips slowly moving in sync with mine.

To say that my heart was racing was an understatement. I felt like I ran a whole marathon, in the way my heart was beating.

I was about to pull away because I felt really shy that I made the first move, but he placed his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me closer towards him.

I fluttered my eyes closed, melting into the blissful moment.

I realized one thing.

I've always liked hanging out with Hyunjin a tiny bit more than the other guys, whether I'd like to admit it or not. Maybe that was because, at the back of my head, I found a part of me having this little crush on him.

When he pulled away from the kiss, his brows furrowed and he stared at me. His eyes held confusion, and I could say that I was teary.

What am I going to do? I don't want anything to change. I don't want our friendship to be ruined. I don't-

"Jinnie. Why did... why did you kiss me all of a sudden? You know I can't hold back anymore, right? I told you I like you. Stop playing with my heart like that," he whispered, staring deep into my eyes.

When a tear slipped down my cheek, I bit my lower lip.

"H-Hyunjin. I like you, too. I just realized, I always wanted to hang out with you more because you hold a special place in my heart. You were just supposed to be my best friend but-"

"Really? God, Yejin! Stop kidding, you'll break my heart if you-"

"I'm not! I'm not, okay? But I'm scared. I'm scared that things will change, I'm scared of changing. What if we start to avoid each other and-"

"I won't avoid you, Yejin. Ever. You're like a magnet, I'm always drawn to you. I like you so much that I just can't afford to be away from you for so long," he replied, and I looked down.

I suddenly felt my heart beating faster as I thought about the possibilities of Hyunjin and I being a thing.

Having little dates with him. Seeing his smile everyday. Private singing. Little kisses here and there. Cuddles. Hugs. Holding hands. Movie nights.

I only ever wanna do all that with him. I know it.

"I don't wanna stay away from you, either," I muttered, and then he grinned at me.

The way his grin flashed across my mind, I knew I was whipped. Hwang Hyunjin is such a cutie, everyone knows that. You just can't help but fall for him more each day.

"Then, be my girl," he suggested, and I felt myself blushing before turning away. "Yah, Jinnie. Look at me."

"Y-You, You idiot!" I said, hiding my face, but he chuckled before taking my hands away.

"What do you think?" He asked, winking at me, and I almost swore to God that I will die from heart attack if he keeps doing that.

"S-Sure, okay. But-"

"YES! SCREW IT, I LOVE YOU, YEJIN! SO MUCH!"

"Shh! They might hear you!"

"Well, I'm actually proud of it. I can call you mine now, baby. We're picture perfect."
