Chapter 14

"Wooseok-ah! Come help in the kitchen" I hear Yuto call for me. "COMING!" I scream back at him, sliding across the floor to get to the kitchen.

"So Yuto what do you nee-"

Y/n POV:

I look up and see Wooseok, staring at me and Yuto from inside the hallway. I know what I said earlier, about apologizing for yelling at him. Past me was so confident that I could do it, but now I'm standing here in the middle of the kitchen, unsure of what to do next.

"Ahh Wooseok, come help Y/n with the pancakes please. I need to go do something" Yuto says, hastily rushing out of the kitchen.

"Wait Yuto-" I call for him, desperate for him to come back. I wasn't quite ready to talk with Wooseok yet, I didn't really know what to say.

"Y/n?" Wooseok says, slowly walking over to me from inside the hallway. He doesn't get to close, and rests his back on the counter. I do my best to look unbothered by his actions, but instead am met with this weird feeling in my gut.

"Wooseok I-

"I'm sorry. Y/n. I really am" Wooseok says, looking up from the ground and taking a look at me. I can tell his feelings are genuine, and he means what he says.

"I shouldn't have stepped over the line like I did. I'm the one who caused this weird relationship between the two of us, and to be honest, I would like it if we could stay as friends. If you could find it in your heart to do that for me" Wooseok confesses, his words running together due to nervousness. I smile at him, and put down the tray of pancakes I had taken out from the bag I brought.

"It's not completely your fault. We both know Yuto could've stopped this a long time ago," I joke, and lightly hit Wooseok's arm. It comes off as a joke, but I'm dead serious. Yuto really should be more assertive sometimes.

"Plus I yelled at you and handled the situation very poorly. I'm sorry too" I apologize, rubbing Wooseok's arm comfortingly. Wooseok nods his head and accepts my apology, then turns to the tray of pancakes I brought, and at the same time, Yuto re-enters the kitchen.

"Aww you two made up~" Yuto teases, making puppy dog eyes at both me and Wooseok. Wooseok and I give him an equally annoyed eye-roll, causing Yuto to smirk and walk towards me.

"So what did you make?"

"I made one batch of blueberry and two batches of regular!" I perk up, smiling and Yuto by my side. Yuto lovingly pats my head, then comes up from behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. Wooseok, who notices how the atmosphere is slowly changing, quickly grabs the entire batch of blueberry pancakes and leaves.

*ding ding*

I hear my phone go off and try to shuffle to the side to grab it, but Yuto's got such a grip on my waist, that it's difficult for me to even move. As I struggle to try and move, Yuto burrows his face in my neck, and gives it a light kiss.

"Yutoooo~" I whine, reaching my arm out for my phone. Yuto makes a high pitch whining sound, and holds me even tighter, the weight of his body almost caving me in.

"Yuto baby let me answer this and then you can be needy okay?" I reassure him, returning the hug by placing my hands on his arms. Yuto groans and reluctantly lets me go, and I burst out of his arms to check my phone.

                |unknown number|

>Hey! It's me!

>Would you like
to eat with me sometime?

                            I'm sorry who is this?<

I place my phone back down on the counter, and turn to face Yuto, who is pouting with his arms crossed. From over here, I can get a good look at him. Yuto is wearing a black tank top, showing off how muscular his arms are, and a pair of jeans. He always looks good but today, he looks particularly better than he usually does.
