Lovely Nights || Zhong Chenle

28

I arrived at school a little earlier than usual. I figured that if I arrived early enough, I could get to my class and avoid Jaemin for now, or at least until my head was clear.

I was wrong.

I felt a soft pair of lips kiss my cheek and I immediately knew it was him. He snaked his arms around my waist while I was collecting my books that I needed from my locker.

"Y-You're here early." I nervously stammered after slamming my locker door shut. I slowly turned around, holding my textbooks out in front of me to create some distance between us.

"I could say the same for you." He chuckled and leaned in closer to my lips. I turned away, quickly avoiding his kiss. "Is something wrong?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"No." I vaguely muttered.

"Are you sure?" He asked me again.

I nodded my head. "Of course I am. W-Why would something be wrong?"

He let go of me and crossed his arms. "I don't know but you're acting strange. Are you sure everything is okay?"

I rolled my eyes, annoyed by his persistent questioning.

"I'm fine." I muttered out more firmly.

Jaemin looked at me with a worried expression. "Okay I believe you, but if-" He stopped talking when he looked down at my wrist. "You're not wearing the bracelet." He took my hand and pouted his lips. "You hated it didn't you?"

I looked down at my wrist and shook my head. "No I loved it." I answered truthfully. "I'm certain I was wearing it last night. It must have slipped off without me noticing." I looked back at him with a sad expression. "Are you mad at me?"

He cupped my cheeks gently and kissed my forehead. "Never." A small smile formed on his lips.

Guilt began to overwhelm me. I leaned my head into his chest and bit the inside of my cheek. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's my fault for not making a better bracelet." He patted my hair.

"No, I'm sorry for kissing Chenle. I'm the worst person in the word and you deserve much more." That's what I wanted to tell him.

"What did I do to deserve you?" That's what I actually told him. But I knew the truth, I didn't deserve him. I was just as bad as Yoona, possibly even worst. At least she didn't kiss one of his best friends.

"That's supposed to be my line." He teased and grabbed my textbooks out of my hand, wrapping one arm around my shoulder.

He walked me to class as he did everyday. He stopped a few steps away from the entrance, leaving a small kiss on my lips before rushing to his own.

A loud sigh left my lips when he was gone.

"What's wrong with you?" Sarang who was standing by the entrance of the door asked me.

"N-Nothing." How did she even know something was wrong?

"Are you sure? That sigh sounded like anything but nothing." She judgmentally eyed me up and down.

"Yes I'm sure." I suddenly snapped back.

"Woah it was a simple question. No reason to get mad." She pursed her lips. "Anyway....." She began to change the topic of conversation. "You remembered to tell Jaemin to pick us up from my house tonight right?"
