[Jaemin]

That night, I couldn't sleep. Jiho seems to be okay with me liking someone else, she's unaffected. And it made me think that I don't stand a chance on making her mine, even if I know that Jeno was the first one to like her. 

How is she so fucking dense? I literally spent my whole study time that night just to check up on her, but only to be told that she knows who's the girl I like. She's so near yet so far, I can't keep up with my feelings towards her, it's getting stronger every time I see her. (cringe)

I opened my laptop and searched for her photo, I stared at it until I got lost in my own thoughts again.

It's getting harder to hide it, and I don't know until when can I hide this stupid liking of mine towards her. Why must thinking about her make me feel so little yet so happy? Why is she fucking up my mind to the point that I can't even rest right these days.

I hate seeing her smile in front of others, I don't want to be away from her, heck I don't even want to not see her for a day. But it sucks to feel these things when in the first place, I know that she doesn't like me back.

I was snapped out of my reverie when my phone rang; Jisung calling..

"What?"

("Ish, why so jumpy? I just called to tell you that Jiho is at the mall, alone. I saw her there and I did plan to stay with her but I had things to do, this is your chance to spend time with her, you coward.") 

My brows furrowed, "What is she doing there? And does Jeno know about this?"

("She said that she just wanted to go out, since she's okay now. And let's just say that I did you a favor, now go.")

I quickly ended the call, grabbed my jacket and ran outside. I'll thank the kid later, but right now, the only thing in my mind is her. And what is she doing there alone.

[Jiho]

"That will be 45 dollars, Miss." says the cashier in the supermarket. Since I finished my school works and got better faster that I thought, I decided to get some things from the mall. 

It's been a long time also since I got to go out by myself ever since I became a part of Dream. I thanked the cashier before exiting the supermarket and started to stroll around the mall.

Well, it's still a mall. The only thing I don't like about it is people tend to know how to do lovey-dovey things inside, and make single people jealous, a.k.a Kim Jiho. 

I sighed and averted my gaze to the random shops inside. There's Nature Republic, The Saem, Tonymoly, and etc. "Should I buy my first ever lip tint?" I whisper, but my mind quickly thought about the cons of putting tints. I shook my head lightly and continued to walk.

Soon enough, I found myself in front of a dessert cafe. I'm not in a mood to eat rice so maybe eating sweet food will suffice. 

I ordered myself a cup of hot chocolate and a box full of brownies, and I was about to take a bite when I saw a familiar guy wandering on about, brownish black hair and a tall figure, my eyes widened when I saw Jaemin, who was wandering and doing something in his phone.

Then automatically, my phone buzzed and it showed Jaemin's caller ID. I answered it while looking at him, "H-Hello?"

("Where are you?") 

"What are you doing here? Did Jisung tell you about me being here?" I ask, that rascal. I was supposed to have a me day!

("Just tell me where you are, Kim Jiho.") he said in a serious tone, making me shudder slightly. "I-in the dessert cafe in front of you."

He then frantically looked in front and saw me, I awkwardly waved my hand and ended the call. He came walking inside and sat in front of me, "How long have you been here? You could've called me."

"It was a me day before you came though.." my voice trailed off, making him purse his lips, "Oh, um, sorry, I should leave--"

But before he can stand up from his seat, I held his hand, and almost immediately, my heart is going crazy again, "Stay, you just got here. It would be a bummer if you leave already."

"But you said it's a you day," he said, almost sounding like a whine, making me smile. "Just do it, Na Jaemin. Help me finish these, I'm getting full already."

Liar. You just want to be with him.

"By the way, what's the update between you and that girl?" I asked him, making him stop eating.

"We're still friends, I think. She's dense that's why she doesn't know." he answered, making me nod. When will he introduce the girl to me?

"Dream knows her right?" I ask, and he nods. So I'm the only one who doesn't know her just yet, and it makes me more eager to see her.

"You'll meet her, soon." He muttered, making me force a smile. "Okay, I hope I don't seem stupid in front of her." I joked.

When did I became a liar? 

An hour passed and Jaemin offered to take me home, wait no, he didn't offer, he did it without hesitations. Even small acts from him makes me giddy and smiley all of a sudden. "Wait, really?"

I nod, "They're dating for, I think, a moth now." I said, I was talking about Jangmi and Seojun. They're still together, and most of the time they make me a third wheel. It's okay, they buy me snacks while they're doing couple stuff. Perks.

When we arrived at my house, I showed him a smile, "Thanks for sending me home, Jaemin-ah. Just promise me that you'll introduce your crush to me and we're cool."

I was about to open the door when Jaemin pulled me back, making me bump my forehead on his chest lightly. I made eye contact with him, feeling myself blush, "What? Aren't you gonna leave? It's 7 pm, Jaemin. Your mom might be looking for you."

"You want to meet my crush, right?"

I nod, "Yeah I do, but not now. It's night time Jaemin-ah, who would--"

"You'll meet her now."

I raised my brows in confusion, "Huh?"

His hand made its way to my cheek, making me nervous. He slowly lowered his face to meet my eyes. Suddenly, I felt something warm on my lips, and I immediately knew what is going on.

Jaemin is kissing me, and I am not dreaming. He's here, kissing me in front of my front door.
