Playing Matchmaker (BxB)

Chapter 46

Hope you like it!

"It isn't the right time to do it," Kyung sighed annoyed. "You'll fuck up his whole vibe if you confess."

"Does it look like we care?" Eunwoo asked while Min was nodding in the background. "Oh, how romantic that'd be. Under a cherry blossom tree at school and seeing Parker's flustered face when Jumin tells him our feelings," she sighed and squealed out of excitement. "It'll be a dream come true!"

"I guess, but not right before they have their fucking exams!" Kyung shouted. "Get your mind out of your bullshit! This isn't one of your stupid books at home or that shit Min watches."

"So mean," Min pouted.

Jumin looked back up at them. "I'm going to do it," he stated. Eunwoo squealed, clapping her hands as Kyung glared at him. "Everything will work out, don't worry."

Jumin blinked when he heard Parker's loud footsteps coming down the stairs and grabbed the pack of rice crackers. "Right, he wants... this..."

He turned around with a look of disgust and saw Parker grinning at him. "Do you really want those?"

After Parker forced him to try a piece and took a juice pack out of the fridge, they went out and walked to school. During the walk, Parker pointed at the colorful flowers which were blossoming. Jumin got absorbed in Parker's excitement that he didn't notice the few pink flower petals on him that fell from the trees.

Parker looked back at him again and chuckled. "You look pretty with these petals on your head," he grinned, picking them out. "But I'm sure that you wouldn't like it if they stayed there."

Jumin put his hand on his head after Parker took them out, feeling his face heat up. They continued walking and when they saw the gym in the distance. As they came closer to it, Jumin stopped in his tracks. "Before we go inside, I have something to say."

"What is it?" Parker smiled nervously.

"Well, here it goes." Jumin took a deep breath to calm himself and looked him straight in the eye. "I like you," he confessed.

Parker stared at him as his eyebrows shot through the roof. "Huh?"

"I like you," he repeated. "And I don't mean as friends."

"I-Is he serious?" Parker's cheeks flushed as he looked at Jumin's serious eyes. "W-wait! Hold up! You like me? Like, like-like me?!"

"I do, Parker," he answered. "Look, I just wanted to tell you so you know and I want your answer next week when we're done with the exams. In the meantime, don't contact me or look for me. Only focus on your studies."

"B-But Jumin!" Parker shouted as Jumin speed-walked past him.

"You better promise me that!" Jumin shouted and went into the building.

Parker watched him go, baffled at what happened. "It's mutual? He likes me? Am I dreaming?" Parker pinched his cheek and rubbed the spot afterward. "Not dreaming. Why did he have to tell me this right now? What am I supposed to do now? I can't just leave it at this."

"Parker! Are you still coming?!" Mr. Rowan shouted from the building. "You don't want to miss this, do you?!"

"Oh, yeah! I'm coming!" Parker said, walking to him.

"Say, did you come alone?" he asked as Parker looked confused at him. "It's just because I see you and Jumin always together, so it's kind of weird to see you alone. Anyway, get inside."

3 hours later

"So much pain," Parker groaned as he let himself fall on the couch. With his legs dangling at the end of the couch, he thought back at the events that happened a few hours ago. "I can't see him for a week, huh?" he whispered to himself.

"Hey, boy! How did your first exam go?" Benjamin grinned and dropped a bag of waffles on Parker's chest. "Annabelle shipped some things for us. The box is in the kitchen if you want to look through it."

"Yeah, okay," Parker mumbled and poked the waffles.

Benjamin's grin faded at Parker's dejected expression and sat down on the armchair. "What's wrong? Did you fuck up the exam?"

Parker shook his head and opened the bag. "Dad? What would you do if someone tells you that they like you?" he asked and bit the flat waffle. "And I mean, like-like."

"Are you talking about Jumin?" Parker choked in his food and shot up to sit straight. "Bullseye."

"How did you know?" Parker coughed, hitting his chest to get it out of his air pipe.

"You're really dense, huh? That boy has liked you for a few months now, from what I saw. He always has some kind of soft look when he talks to you and some of the other alters too, like Kyung and Eunwoo," he explained. "And I knew you liked him this whole time."

"How?"

"You're my son. Of course, I'd know," Benjamin grinned. "And you don't have to worry. I won't tell Lisa or our family about it that you guys are together. You can tell them yourself when the time is right." He turned the TV on. "You guys are together, aren't you?" Parker stayed quiet and looked away from Benjamin. "You aren't? How can my son be so useless?" he sighed.

"I didn't get a chance!" Parker defended. "He told me and said that I can't contact him for a week!"

"What kind of bullshit is that?" Benjamin asked as loud laughter erupted from his mouth. "I've never heard anything like that in my life! But I can understand that if he wants to focus on his studies right now."

"I guess," Parker mumbled and lay back down on the couch. "But I just want to know why he had to tell me at the worst time. He had all the time to say something, but kept quiet."

Benjamin glanced at him and turned back to the TV. "You'd piss your pants if you were in his shoes," he scoffed.

"That's not true!" Parker cried. "I've tried to tell him a few times already, but every time we got interrupted. Like that last time when Miracle cut me off mid-sentence. I was so close dad!"

"I can't believe that. You're too scared to even ask for extra fries at a restaurant."

"I was," Parker corrected him as he crossed his hands.

"Sure..." Both of them went quiet and listened to the laughter from the talk show. "Think about the situation for the time being and don't annoy Jumin by texting and calling him constantly. A week passes by quickly and maybe even quicker now that you're busy almost every day. Just don't do something stupid, as always."

"I never make stupid decisions," he pouted and felt his phone vibrate. He turned his phone on and saw he got a message from Miracle asking how dead he feels. Parker decided to ignore it for now and turned it off.

"Do you want to eat hamburgers tonight?" Benjamin asked after staying silent for a while.

"Yes, please."

A/N they both are some dumbasses. I have an idea for the next chapter and it won't be Parker confronting him. That'll be next Sunday. I'm still not sure how many chapters are left of this, but I'm sure it's less than 10. I just love these boys too much. I'll see you guys Wednesday again with the girlfriends. Don't do dumb shit and don't kill mice
