"Just maybe, creating another reality with you isn't so bad after all, Jaemin."
He's persistent and she's stubborn, add some bumpers on the road and it's already one hell of a life story.

"This is enough."

H-huh? What's actually going on? We stayed in that position for a few seconds till he let me go. I touched my hot forehead due to my reaction and glared at him.
"What was that for." I hissed dangerously. He sweat dropped and looked at me nervously. "You actually think i would get flustered by that? I'm not one of your fangirls who scream over you even if you're just breathing."
"I-i thought the atmosphere was suitable." This time, he looks flustered. "Sorry, you're wrong about that." I rolled my eyes and picked up my bag that fell before. "Please hear me out!" I sighed and kept quiet.
"I want to be your friend. I promise I won't cause you trouble and I won't fall in love with you! I'm sincere and genuine about my intentions so please give me a chance." He blurted out. "We can take it slow. As long as you give me a chance. That's all I'm asking for."
My face is slowly turning to a light shade of pink. What's with his determination? Why is he so persistent? Why me? What if he finds out about my family? There were millions of questions flying around right now.
"Fine." My answer was so short and so simple. Enough to make him sigh in relief and throw the tension away from his face. "Thank you so much!" He gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen in my life before running back home, leaving me alone. Unconsciously, i smiled softly.

Monday soon came by after two days passed. Suddenly, I'm feeling nervous to school and anxious to meet him as well. "Relax. He just wants to be a friend." I chanted inside my head like a mantra.
On my table, there was a small note pasted to it. More like a warning.
Hey. One of our members saw you and Jaemin together after school on Friday. Guess what she saw? If you want us to keep quiet about it, stay away from Jaemin.
-Jaemin's Fanclub leader
In the middle, a picture of jaemin kissing my forehead was glued to it. Oh my god, i swear people are getting on my nerves. "Like i give a shit about rumours. I've had enough of them." I crumpled the paper and threw it in the trash can.
"Good morning, Y/N!" A sweet voice sung behind me. The black haired boy stood in front of me with a box in his hands. "What now, Jaemin?" I muttered. He handed me the box and a fork.
"Eat it during lunch! I'll see you soon!" He waved and skipped out of class. I opened the box carefully and saw 2 pieces of cake laying there safely. Mango and chocolate flavour. "You silly thing." I whispered and placed it under my table.
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
During lunch, Shimizu bombarded me with questions. "He gave it to you himself? That's so sweet!" She squealed. I took another bite of the chocolate cake which has a perfect moisture and not too sweet.
"What are you so excited for?" I sighed and gave her a hint to take a few bites. She gladly ate it with happiness. Sadly, our peace didn't last that long.
A slim pair of hands snatched the box before i could take another bite and threw it out the window. Aggressive. "Oi, what the hell?!" Shimizu frowned. Without glancing at the culprit, i already knew who did it.
"Looks like you didn't follow our orders." The leader cackled along her minions. "Sorry, this isn't McDonalds." I said teasingly. Looks like the leader is a third year after all, how childish.
"What orders? Y/N?" Shimizu asked in confusion. I signalled a sign later so she stopped asking. "This is your last warning. Get your filthy hands off of Jaemin. We won't hold back." She smirked. Can you try and guess who is the leader?
"You should tell him that, Jia." I snickered. To be honest, i have no problem in standing up for myself but sometimes I'm too lazy to do it so i choose not to. It's a different story if i need to stand up for someone else, especially Shimizu.
"Oh honey, Jaemin is probably forced to act like that with you. After all, who would want a girl who got abandoned by her family?" I could sense her confidence grew after what she said. Oh sweetie, you've gone too far.
"Hey, can you shut your stupid-" I stood up slowly and stared at Jia. "At least I'm not a girl who sucks of peoples faces everyday and act all petty just for people to notice. At least i have my pride as a woman and be mature for my own age. I'm sorry you don't know how it feels."
With one last glare, i left the classroom leaving everyone shocked. I talked to much, now I'm tired. But before anything happens, i need to find that cake and dispose it properly. It's not nice to do such thing even if I don't like Jaemin.
In the garden, i spotted the smudged cake kissing the ground perfectly. But also, i noticed a few people standing right in front of it. "Jaemin?"
They turned around and i was ready to see his disgusted and angry face but instead, he flashed a confused smile at me. "I though you love this flavour? Hmm, maybe i should buy you something else?!" He said excitedly.
His friends stared at him weirdly too as if he said something foreign. I almost quirked a smile in front of them. "No." He looked at me. "No?" I walked closer to him, tiptoeing carefully and pat his head. "This is enough. I appreciate your efforts." Our eyes inches apart and i swore i could see stars in it.
