It's around 4:00 pm, and I'm under so much stress about what to wear. I was thinking about wearing a dress, but that is too fancy, so I was going to wear just shorts and a shirt, but that is too casual. then I figure it out, I put on a beige skirt followed by a cropped long sleeve shirt and my platforms. I arrived at the restaurant exactly at 4:58, then I remembered. It’s been over 2 years since I have been here. The last time I came here was with my mom. that was the last time I had dinner with her. I pushed away those memories and took a sip of my water, letting the cool water hit my very dry throat. I waited for about 5 minutes, then he arrived. I should have known that la bernardin was a fancy restaurant because jaebeom was wearing fancy clothes and I felt so out of dress. “hey y/n, you look lovely”, “thank you, I forgot that this was a fancy restaurant, well anyway you look……amazing.”, “oh, thanks.” we both looked at each other, remembering the old days before we sat down at a table near a window, seeing the amazing view of new york.
jaebeom kept complimenting me on how I look even though I was wearing the most basic thing ever and he was wearing such a nice outfit. I couldn’t help but stare at him, admiring his facial features. how can someone still be so perfect? before I knew it, he caught me staring and started smiling at me. I like you lim jaebeom, more than you could know. “so y/n, I need to ask you something important…" my eyes grew in size and my hands became sweaty. "umm how do I put this, well, um, so you know how we used to like each other. well you didn’t know I did, but I secretly d-did...” I practically choked on my water when that sentence left his mouth. THE lim jaebeom likes me? Is this actually happening?! “um yeah I remember. I-i didn’t think that you liked me back, and we both know I was way too shy to ask you in person if you did. but.. um, I have a question..”, we both hesitated for a moment but then we both talked. “do you still like me” we said that at the same time, slowly picking our heads up to look at each other, immediately making eye contact with each other. the only people who knew I liked him were woong, donghyun, daewhi and woojin. I didn't wanna tell the other boys because they were in the same group as him. “can I go first?”, I asked him, “yes, please do.” “well first off, yes, I still like you, there was something about you, you were different from the other guys. you were kind, you cared and stood up for people you didn’t even know. that’s why I fell for you. because of your kind heart, your soft words and your personality. but I knew you could do better than me, so I kept it to myself, all these years. and the day you left, I didn't think you were gonna come back...”, “y/n… did you not hear me”, he said, grabbing my hands,
“park y/n, I like you."
