[M] New Kid || Yeonbin

chapter 21

"You can do it, Jun... You're gonna do great."

"I don't know why I'm so nervous."

"Hey..." Soobin said and stopped Yeonjun from pacing back and forth. He gently held Yeonjun's hands and softly said, "You're already going to the next round, Jun... Just think of this as practice."

"B-But it's the finals."

"I know, I know... Just take a deep breath, ok?"

Yeonjun took a deep breath, but he still looked really nervous.

"Close your eyes, babe."

"W-What?"

"Close your eyes... It'll help you calm
down."

Yeonjun hesitated for a moment before shutting his eyes and taking another deep breath.

"Ok... Imagine something that puts you at peace. Like somewhere you wanna go or something you wanna do... What is it?"

"Ummm... Hiking in Alaska... o-or the Alps... o-or the Andes mountains to Machu Picchu."

Soobin smiled softly and said, "Yeah, babe... Imagine we're hiking in Alaska, looking over a glacier. And you're holding my hand, helping me stand because my legs are dead while you're completely fine."

Yeonjun laughed a little and said, "It's ok... I got you, bin."

"Breathe in the fresh air, Jun."

Yeonjun took another deep breath and felt a lot calmer than before, "Thank you."

"Better?"

"Yeah..." Yeonjun opened his eyes again and gave Soobin a kiss, "You're the best, thank you."

"You're gonna do amazing... You got this, Junie..." Soobin said and gave Yeonjun a kiss. He pulled away and said in English, "Good luck kisseu."

"You practiced that, didn't you?"

"Uhhh... Maybe..." Soobin replied in English, making Yeonjun smile.

"You're too cute." Yeonjun whispered before giving him another kiss.

"How 'bout you go out there and kick some butt?"

Yeonjun giggled a little and said, "I will... Thank you, bin."

. . . . .

Soobin held Yeonjun's hand as they got out of the car, "Thank you, Mrs. Choi."

"Of course... Yeonjunie, lemme know if you need anything."

"I will, mom."

Mrs. Choi smiled at them before driving away. Soobin dragged Yeonjun towards the café.

"Bin, you don't have to get me anything."

"Stob it... You won and you deserve a nice date." Soobin replied, saying the first part in English.

Soobin opened the door to the café and held Yeonjun's hand as they waited in line, "What would you like?"

"Herbal tea, please."

"That's it? That's only fifteen hundred won."

"I don't need anything, bin."

Soobin rolled his eyes, "I'm getting you pie."

"You're too cute."

Soobin shyly smiled as he moved forward in line.

"Hi, welcome t— Oh... Hey Soobinnie, hey Yeonjun-ssi." Jin said with a smile.
