Serendipity || Na Jaemin FF (Ongoing)

-«« XII »»-

While waiting for the other council members, I decided to help Eunkyung and Renjun with their handy props to be used for the annual body meeting of our department.

The annual body meeting is where all students from our department come together to compete in various activities that the council prepares.

Our office wasn't that big and the space got crazy limited because it also served as a storage for the materials to be used for the event.

We sat on the floor and formed a small circle to minimize the space.

Behind my back was a wide couch, where most of our bags were placed.

Haechan, Jisung, and Chenle sat beside me and started cutting some colored papers, too.

"Jeno! Stop flirting there and help us out here!" Haechan teased Jeno who was over the phone talking to his girlfriend.

Jeno mocked him and we chuckled at his reaction.

Jaemin came in just in time and he was already bringing his laptop with him.

"You guys haven't started yet?" He said as soon as he entered.

He casually excused himself from our small circle and sat on the couch behind me.

"Excuse." He muttered.

"YAH! Why don't you just sit over there?! You know how limited the space is!" Haechan nagged at Jaemin but he just shrugged.

"I'll sit wherever I want to sit." Jaemin answered back.

Haechan sighed and rolled his eyes.

Since there wasn't enough space, I was apparently trapped in between Jaemin's legs.

I can almost feel his knees touching my arms.

I continued to do what I was cutting and acted normal.

I had no idea what he was doing, but I'm pretty sure he's silently observing our group and I felt my cheeks heating up.

Though we were already close as friends, I still can't help but feel these stupid butterflies when he's around.

"Hey Soojin, can you pass me the scissors?" Eunkyung asked which made me get back into my senses.

"S-sure. Here." I said, reaching it out to her.

"What are those for?" Jaemin asked as he leaned closer to my right side.

I can clearly see his side profile and I gulped because of nervousness.

I felt him close to me and I just couldn't move a part of my body.

"We'll be posting these on the stage once all of them are done." Renjun explained.

"Ohh...Those are nice." He whispered and I sighed in relief when he leaned backwards.

I was trying so hard to shrug the feeling when I suddenly felt him play with my hair.

I slapped it away but he just chuckled and continued to bother me.

"Stop bothering me, Jaemin." I warned and glared at him.

He stuck his tongue out and I scoffed.

I turned my back on him and proceeded to do the props.

But he continued to mess with me by squishing my cheeks using his palms and I groaned in annoyance.

I turned to him and slapped his knee and tickled his side which caused him to laugh.

"You know what? If I didn't knew you guys are close, I'd think you two are dating." Haechan muttered out of the blue.

"WHAT?" I scoffed.

"I agree." Renjun casually answered.

"Me too." Jisung agreed, too.

Jaemin finally stopped and he had this huge smile on his face.

"You guys are insane." I mumbled.

But the truth is, I felt giddy deep inside.

Good thing the others came in and we proceeded the meeting in the case room.

"16..17..18..There~ we're finally complete." Soo-ah said as she finished counting the members.

"I know all of you guys had been busy and tired preparing for the annual body meeting so I'm so excited to announce that we'll be adding members in a few days~" She announced which surprised us.

"That's nice to hear! We really need some man power for the stage and props." Renjun said.

We talked mostly about the event and while they were still planning, Jaemin and I started with his layouts.

We sat closer to where the sockets are and got lost in our own world.

"I don't think I can finish it here." Jaemin said in worry.

"Why?" I asked as I pushed his swivel chair a little so I could use his laptop.

"I don't have the apps I wanted to use on this laptop." He said as he moved closer.

"We can just uhh...continue it at the dorm, right?" He casually asked.

I gasped.

"I almost forgot I agreed on that..." I said as i bit my lower lip and he pouted.

"I'd still go and help you out!" I said.

"Really?" He mumbled.

"Of course." I chuckled.

"Soojin, Jaemin. Are you two busy?" Rihyun asked.

We shook our heads.

I walked towards them and Jaemin followed behind.

"Why? Do you need help?" I asked.

Rihyun nodded.

"We just need to put these up on the stage and it's done. Would you guys help us out?" She said, pertaining to the shaped cardboards that Eunkyung and Renjun did.

"Yeah sure." Jaemin said.

I was about to carry the huge box that was nearest to me but Jaemin snatched it away.

"That's heavy, chubby cheeks. Let me carry this one." He casually said.

I pursed my lips and tried hiding a smile.

He walked out of the room before us and I smiled to myself, thinking—

'How can I stop myself from liking you every single day, Na Jaemin?'
