Matchmaker: BOOK I [Y/N X KAI]

✨ Chapter 64 ✨

I quickly grab Piyuu by the wrist and corner her.

"Hey, it hurts!" she pouts.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I growl.

"Let's see.." she taps her chin, "I think I'm standing with you in a corner."

I palm my head, "Not this! God, what'd he think.." I groan frustratedly.

"What'd who think?" she plays with a string of her hair.

"The photographer!" I groan.

"Oh, what'd he think?" she smiles.

"That I'm dating Nini!" I blurt out trying to keep my composure.

"That's such a weird thing to think about! Why'd he think that?" Piyuu says.

I stare at Piyuu's face for a solid few seconds in pure disbelief, "Because you just told him I date him, literally just a few seconds ago!"

"Really? Why did I do that?" she asks innocently.

"That's my goddamn question, Piyuu!" I growl.

"Oh..do let me know when you get the answer!" she smiles. Honestly, I literally want to stab my face in the wall and punch it with a boxing gloves.

"What'd happen if he tells this to everyone?" I borrow my head in my face.

"I don't know. Everyone will want to feature you on Elle Korea?" she says unbothered. I really can't with this girl, I just can't.

I corner myself, taking a few breaths in and out. How the fuck am I supposed to fix this?

"Hey, at least you're gonna get featured on Elle Korea! That's a huge deal!" her voice comes from behind.

I sigh frustratedly, "What the fuck will I tell Nini if this guy tells him? I mean, he's definitely gonna tell him!"

She jumps on my back, "If he finds out, then you're gonna actually date him."

My eyes literally pop out, "Date him? Have you gone crazy?"

She shrugs, "Come on, Niki, do you really think I can't tell you're into him?"

My heart starts beating a million kilometre per second and my hands get cold as ice.

"It's literally written all over your face. And I'm sure he feels the same way. So why are you not doing anything about it?" she frowns.

"Sh-shut up," I shift uncomfortably, "Let's keep moving. We still have to meet a lot of people and they're waiting for us."

"Just so you know, you're only getting away this time because you're actually right. We've a lot to catch up on. But next time, you won't get away with this" Piyuu smirks.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

It takes a while to get to the rest of the crowd, which is kind of braggy. But hey, it's true. And finally, it's just Piyuu and I.

"How are you doing, miss professional fashion designer?" I wink.

Piyuu squeals in delight, "They like my work! They really, really like my work!"

I nod laughing, "Well, of course, they do. And to think that a few hours ago you were scared to send this dress down the catwalk."

"Thank you so much for talking some sense into me, my model!" she squeaks in a high-pitch tone.

"Hey, you're very welcome. Now, what do you say? We get lunch and celebrate?" I suggest.

"Right behind you!" she says.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

After soaking up the rest of what the wedding convention has to offer and enjoying a very long, satisfying night's sleep at the hotel, the next morning arrives and I meet Piyuu in the lobby.

"Ready to go?" I wiggle my eyebrows.

"Yeah, I guess so.." she responds with a frown.

And..I guess not.

"Aw, what's wrong, baby girl?" I ask squeezing her shoulder.

"Nothing. I'm just being silly. It's just that this weekend has been so nice. I don't want it to end just yet, you know?" she sighs.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. It feels like we just got here and we didn’t even get to see the falls," I sigh. I mean, we've came to a place that's named after its waterfall, known for its waterfall and we haven’t seen it. It doesn’t sound fair to me.

"I'd suggest staying here for the morning. But again, I know you've to get back to work," she whispers.

"Wait a second, no I don't! I thought that you had to get back to the dress shop! That's why I've been rushing!" I confess.

She shakes her head, "No, I don't have anything urgent. I've cleared out all my previous tasks before coming in here."

"So..do you think that there's a chance that we could get a last-minute tour of the falls?" I ask.

She nods excitedly, "We totally could! They run boats every twenty minutes and it's not gonna be crowded in Sunday morning. You in?"

"Of course!" I squeal "What are we waiting for? Take me to the boat!"

She grabs my wrist, "Follow me!"

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

It only takes a few minutes to get back to the docks and sure enough, the tour boat has plenty of room. Piyuu's looking around, eyes wide.

"Is this your first time on a boat or something? You've got this look of wonder," I chuckle.

"Quite the opposite, actually!" she says "I must've rode this boat a hundred times when I was a kid. I'm just really amazed that it hasn’t changed at all!

"Wow, really?" I gasp.

"It's like I've just gone back to 2007, except I'm somewhat taller," she chuckles.

She runs over to one of the seats and flips over the cushion, revealing a slight maroon stain.

"That's from when I was seven and I spilled tea," she laughs. Why does she seem proud of this like it's an achievement?

"So you're basically an expert," I toss my hair.

"Yeah, you could say that. I had a ride in river every year in my childhood as this is how we go to our hometown. I take it that this is your first time?" she asks.

I nod, "Actually, yes, this is indeed my first time."

"Ohmygosh!" she squeals, "I accompany you in your first time!
