I Love You 3000 (Y.Jw)

Chapter 26

There were a mere 16 hours left until the next test would be revealed to us and everyone were quite excited as it would be the last test before the finale. Everyone seemed to either be anxious or excited, mostly because of the unknown elimination that would take place in just two days time. No one knew who it could be, but just that it would be second to last elimination before the finale. As of now I had taken a break to sit down and finally get to study some more Hangul.

"Ah, no, no, no. It has to be ㅅ," Sunghoon corrected me as he was helping me with my hangul exercises, watching over whether I was doing it right or wrong.

"Why?" I frowned at the name I had written down.

"It's only one, not two," he pointed out and pronounced the name for me, "you hear? Just ㅅ not ㅆ."

"Ah..." I nodded in realization... sort of, "I see, I see."

"Do you really or do you just want me to shut up?" he let out a bright laugh at me, having seen right through my façade.

"I'm actually not sure," I admitted making him let out a louder laugh once again.

"What did she do wrong this time?" Sunoo questioned as he approached us, whilst he munched on some snacks from the pantry.

"Write your name wrong," Sunghoon pointed out making Sunoo dramatically gasp and run over to my other side and look down at my notebook before gasping dramatically once more as he slumped his shoulders.

"Aish, Jiyeon-ie," he complained at me with a pout on his face, "why?"

"I'm learning!" I defended with an exclamation making him exasperatedly roll his eyes at me.

"Aish! How can you write my name wrong? I thought we were besties," he complained at me as he gestured between us with his small bag of snacks.

"Kim Sunoo! Let me live!" I exclaimed at him with a laugh as he just shook his head at me, placing his hands on his hips, while Sunghoon just laughed at our bickering.

"Ji~" Jungwon happily jumped his way over to us, his hair bouncing up and down on his head as he just grinned widely at us.

"What is it pretty boy?" I questioned him, making him grin even wider as he threw his arms around me from behind, as he looked over my shoulder on my notes.

"Oooh, it's lover boy," Sunoo commented with overly widened eyes at Sunghoon, "we should leave."

"What about my tutor?" I questioned looking to Sunghoon who had quickly gotten up from his seat.

"You have Jungwon now, you don't need me," Sunghoon pointed out to me as he walked over to Sunoo with a wide smile on his face.

"Why? But Jungwon is merciless towards me if he's going to help me. He doesn't let me breathe!" I complained at Sunghoon, grabbing out after him, but I was restrained by Jungwon's arms around me as Sunghoon and Sunoo just walked away laughing at us, finally showing their true Mean Girls side.

"I'm not merciless," Jungwon complained as he sat down beside me with a small pout lingering on his lips.

"Yes you are," I reminded him," remember that time you wanted to help me in part one? You were so mean!"

"Okay... maybe a little bit," he admitted and I eagerly nodded in agreement trying to desperately prove my point.

"Exactly," I pointed out to him, "so what do you want pretty boy?"

"I wanna talk," he muttered laying his head in his arms on the table before looking over to me.

"What's up?" I questioned brushing his hair out of his face with one stroke of my hand, making him smile slightly.

"We never got the chance to talk after the last performance," he reminded me and I nodded in agreement.

"I know," I assured him as I laid my pencil down on my notebook.

"I still think about what you said... how you felt the same and... I'm not gonna lie... I really wanna kiss you again," he admitted shyly, the last few words just in a small mutter.

"You really wanna settle it, right?" I questioned him with a small laugh and he silently nodded, looking all pouty. I let out another small laugh and ran my hand through his hair, he was just too cute, "well... what do you want then?"

"Oh... well..." he sighed as he straightened up once more and frowned as he looked out into the air in front of him with his head slightly cocked to the side, "I want to... be able to take you out to do things, arcade, laser tag, karaoke, maybe a picnic in the summer. To hold your hand whenever I want. Hug you whenever I'd like and however I want. Mostly I want to be able to give you a kiss whenever I want to," he listed carefully making me smile softly at him before he carefully looked over at me, "that's what I want."

"You're absolutely adorable," I said in awe making him smile slightly, showing his dimples that made my heart just go boom boom, "but you want us to be a couple, is what I hear."

"Mhm," he hummed and showed a small nod, making me sigh at him.

"I'll promise you this... or I'll come with an offer, I'm not rejecting you," I pointed out to him and he eagerly nodded, "say what you want, but I don't want to distract you or take your mind off this competition. So I'll say that for now, until the end in two weeks, we don't do anything about it, but the moment we finish here I can agree that we become a thing. Is that alright?"

"So... now it's not happening, but in two weeks?" he questioned and I nodded in reply.

"I don't want to be a part of the reason for you to not debut," I pointed out to him making him shake his head.

"You could never be," he assured me quickly, "but if that's what makes you feel comfortable with this too, then I can agree to it, as long as you keep your promise."

"Of course," I grinned widely at him.

"Just one last question. Can I hug you whenever I want?" he questioned and I let out a light laugh before nodding at him.

"Of course!" I exclaimed at him making him grin widely at me, "you've always been allowed to!"

"I should begin using that advantage some more then," he muttered before happily getting up from his chair and turning to me with a wide smile, showing off his dimples, "I'll see myself off then and let you study!"

With that he happily skipped away as I just shook my head at how childish he sometimes could be. He really was one of a kind, truly.
