Chapter 53

[Jaemin] (let's pray that I won't fuck up Jaemin's point of view in this chapter, I swear my writing is getting worse each day)

I was looking at the photos in my camera when Yugyeom called me, I turned around to see Jiho, who was also busy with her drafting before leaving to go to Yugyeom. "What is it?" "Can you help me with sorting these out?" he asked, which I accepted. 

The work in the Journalism Club was hard as it is, we should help each other out. I quickly grabbed my laptop, turned it on, and inserted Yugyeom's flash drive. "Sort out the game photos and the other photos, please. I'll be the one to work on the other ones."

We are currently in JYP's Journalism Department private office, and it looks more lively that our office in SMA. Not that I'm saying that I hate it, I just wished that it can look a bit more fun in order for the members to enjoy working in there. 

Right now, the office is filled with papers, laptops and used coffee mugs. I also checked the clock and it said 7:30 pm, I need to work faster so I can take Jiho home early.

While scrolling through the photos, my mind wandered off somewhere else.

I am slowly losing control of my feelings, I lost my shit a week ago in front of Jiho, and I am letting myself be with her most of the time, even though I get weird looks from the others, especially Jeno. It still worries me that he might hate me for liking her. (oh shut up you like Jeno #NoMin)

Am I being too carefree? Am I hurting Jeno? 

Because of overthinking too much, I made a mistake by putting the wrong photo in the game folder, but I immediately got shocked when I saw Jiho in the photo, it was a candid shot, and she was sitting on the bleachers, smiling. 

"Yugyeom, what's this?" I asked him. He surprisingly smiled at me, "What? Jiho's pretty, that's why. She looked so cute while smiling, do you think she's available?"

(Jiho over here snatching the boys lol)

I raised my brows, "Why do you ask?" "Duh, I'm planning to ask her out, like a simple dinner. Do you think she will like it> You're close to her, what does she like?" he asked, making me more irritated.

Is this guy serious?

"Nope, she's not available. She's the type to prioritize her studies first." I lie, well half of it is true. She's single but I know that her love for studying comes first.

"Really?," he pouted, ", what a bummer. I was looking forward at taking her out for dinner though, she seemed to really like eating."

Are you kidding me? She loves eating, I don't even where the carbs on her food go.

I cleared my throat before talking again, "Anyways, it's wrong to take photos of people without their consent."

"Eyy, keep it there. Just a remembrance, we won't be able to see each other often after the sportsfest." What a relief.

I secretly inserted my own flash drive and moved Jiho's photo in there, there is no way that I'm letting this dumbass keep this photo of her. I'm having hard time on being with her, I won't let this guy add on my problems.

When I got done sorting the photos, my eyes automatically searched for Jiho. "Ryujin-ssi, where's Jiho?"

"Ah, she's with Jeonghan in the cafeteria, I think she got hungry and coincidentally, Jeonghan was heading to the cafeteria also."

Jeonghan, the long-haired guy who seems to be a guy magnet. Yeah, guy. He's a nice guy, but coincidence? I think the fuck not.

I made my way to the cafeteria and it is kind of crowded, but my eyes immediately saw Jiho, laughing with Jeonghan. My aggravation was building up again, but I chose not to let it get the best of me. I just breathed deeply before approaching the both of them, "Jiho-ya."

"Jaemin! Are you done with your task? Jeonghan and I decided to grab something to eat, I finished the draft and I got hungry so Jeonghan came with me." she said, in a happy tone, which I didn't like by the way.

"I can see that," I muttered then gave Jeonghan a look, "are you done with task, Jeonghan-ssi?"

His expression changed drastically, he almost spilled his cup of coffee, "Oh shit, thanks for reminding me Jaemin-ssi. I gotta go now Jiho-ya, see you tomorrow I guess?" he said before running out of the cafeteria. Thought so.

When he left, Jiho hit my arm ,making me frown, "What? I did him a favor, he might get scolded for slacking off."

"He wasn't slacking off, it was actually nice of him to offer that he'll come with me, I'm not good at remembering things."

Yeah, and you're not good at understanding things.

"Then why didn't you ask me to go with you?" I ask, with an irritated voice, making her frown also, "You were busy with helping Yugyeom, and I didn't want to disturb you.."

You're always disturbing me though..

I shrugged the awful feeling off me before looking at her again, "Are you done? I want to eat jajangmyeon."

If eating jajangmyeon means I get to be with her a little bit more, then give it all to me. (Cheesy, I know)

Her eyes twinkled and I automatically smiled, "Me too, let's go now. I'm hungry."

To my surprise, she held my hand and pulled me outside the cafeteria. But she immediately retrieved it as she looked embarrassed, "S-sorry, I didn't mean to--"

I took her hand and intertwined my fingers with hers, "I like it..this way." I said before pulling her with me.

I remained my cool of course, but as seconds pass by, holding her hand is making me smile like an idiot.

There it is again, the familiar feeling of liking somebody. It is sometimes infuriating, it can mess up with your mind, but when I'm with her, everything seems to be in a breeze. It was just the two of us.

(In short, Na Jaemin is whipped)
