Chapter 23

It's Okay, It's Love

DOUBLE UPDATE!

 


 

 

It was a Monday morning, a day after Jongin told me his feelings.

And, no, nothing much happened other than the fact that I said that I needed time to think.

He looked taken aback for a split second but he said that he understood. He even offered to give me a ride back home which I refused by saying that I live nearby. But (thankfully) he insisted to get me back home safely. So at 7:24 in the morning, with the birds chirping behind our backs, we were walking side by side. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would leap out of my chest.

School day went by as per normal, despite of me having butterflies all over my tummy. I had been caught daydreaming for like three times by two different teachers; it was so embarrassing but what could I do? My mind was literally filled with Jongin, Jongin and Jongin.

If this was what I defined by "I need time to think", I was seriously foolish. But don't blame me just yet, feelings are sometimes too big to handle that they have to be put away. And at that moment when Jongin asked me, it just felt right to put away my feelings. It just felt right to let my brain takes over even for a while.

It was lunch time and I braced myself for what lies ahead in the cafeteria for me. Jongin and his friends would be there. Speaking of which, that little poophead which goes by the name Oh Sehun was not in any form of urgency. He lied to me. He in fact was in this whole set up of helping Jongin to confess his feelings. So sitting with him today would be out of the options because I didn't want to die from his endless teasings just yet.

After queuing for a few minutes, I took my tray of food and headed back to the table where my classmates were. My hands were a little full and I accidentally dropped the fork on the side of my tray.

"Ugh! This is a torture." I sighed to myself and attempted to bend down while balancing my tray with my right hand only.

I used my left hand to pick up my fork but when I touched the floor, my hand met another hand.

I looked up only to meet the most beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen in my entire life.

"You should be careful next time." Jongin told me.

He gave me my fork back and smiled reassuringly.

The inside of my heart was exploding in glee and warmth and cheesiness but I liked it. Jongin's smile brough warmth over my chest and I could only nod meekly back at him.

That little skinship we had at the cafeteria had successfully sent me to detention because I failed to pay attention to my Math teacher during the subsequent period.

Great, I had to clean the Hall every afternoon for a week starting tomorrow.

Everyone was already out of the classroom when I saw a group of students passing by at the hallway. I noticed they were the dancers. And in the middle of those lanky students, I spotted a tall guy with dark brown hair. He was being entertained by his friends and he was laughing so hard that he started hitting the guy next to him. The scene before me brought a soft smile on my face.

That was when I decided to face my feelings head-on. These feelings were indeed new for me. And it was true that I was scared beyond words but I wouldn't know if I didn't try, right? I didn't care if I didn't make sense because I knew then that my feelings were true. And I was finally willing to give these feelings a try.

I tore a paper out of my notebook and scribbled something on it. I quickly packed my stuffs into my bag. The beating of my heart grew stronger by every second. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins, I even ran out my classroom.

Once I was at the place I intended to be, I ceased my running. I faced the locker in front of me and stared at the note that I scribbled a moment ago.

It read, "If we meet on my 24th step tomorrow morning, I'll give us a try."

I drew in a deep breath and folded the paper. I kissed it a good luck charm and slipped it into Jongin's locker.

I smiled at myself. Whatever that was gonna happen, I know I'd be okay because I followed my heart. And that was the best feeling I've ever felt about myself so far.

Chapter 29: Hi! I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your story very much. I hope I can read more of your stories in the future. Keep up the good work!

P.S. I'm just curious about a few things. Did Sehun and Yoora end up together? Did Jonging really send the love letter en those roses to Krystal or is 'J' Joonmyun? You gave some hinds in your story that Joonmyun is not al that bad to Krystal and pays attention to her, so I thought it might be him. Actually I hope it is him. Anyway thank you for your lovely story ^^

Chapter 25: Yahhhhh~ the end? Wahhh so dramatic! And aaaahhhhh dude that moonlight wave gif!!!!! I'm dying!!!!! And it focuses quite close to Jongin and Sehun!!!! Aaaahhhhhh!!! I kenot!!! ! Shoot myself! Fangirls mode totally on and I blame you! Aaahhhhh!!!! Lol

Ok enough! Relax! Breath in breath out. Woooh~ ok ok I'm fine now. Ok let's continue!

Hmm ok the ending is happy ending of course but like this one reader said in the comment that she wanted more Haneul and Kai yeah I want that too. Why? Because I love Jongin duh~ ok for real now because I think there's just too little JoNeul moment in here! There's actually quite a lot of SeNeul not that I don't like it but considering the main couple yeah JoNeul should be revive? Lol

Bonus chapter? Huhuhuhuhu don't mind me shoot! Bye~ I love you for this story! Let's be friends!

Chapter 20: Nahhh I think Krystal would be different in this story. I mean like maybe instead of the y girl who wants the guy, she could be the good girl who rejects the guy because she already has her eyes on someone else. Lol that would be differenf but yeah she is just the same like the stereotype characters that every high school love story should have. But I agree with you Krystal is dropdead gorgeous! Fiercely gorgeous. Hot and gorgeous! I honestly am a KaiStal shipper but in this story I couldn't help but want Jongin to end up with the main character because well that's the whole point lol. And yeah I kinda suddenly ship SehunxYoora since Haneul had mentioned that just now ><

By the way, I compliment you for having such a balance oc! Well she still has too many good traits for a balance character but at least she is not the girl who act tough and has a deep hatred towards the kingka of the high school. You know what I mean? Yeah I like that Haneul admit her liking towards Jongin and her acknowledment towards those handsome bunce of guys! Yeah kudos!

Chapter 8: Omg! Writting those letters and not to mention cheesy and sickeningly sweet must be a hassle! Huge hassle! Why didn't they write one themselves and just put it in a box to be delivered? So anyone wouldn't have to read such personal things! Urgh I pity Haneul for that! And other girls that have the same task.

Ooo Oh Sehun is something! Why why it must be him to have that such character in Jongin-centered story? Hmm it makes me like Sehun more than the main character~ lol but serious Sehun is annoyingly charming with his warning and his liberty to give the lunchbox back! Yah Oh Sehun! And now he didn't just meddle into JonginxHaneul complicated relationship.

Jongin! Who do you like seriously? Krystal or Haneul? One thing that Jongin has in every story I read is that he is unpredictable and couldn't be read. That is Jongin in most of the stories I have. Huhu also Krystal's weird action towards Haneul! Wooo now I'm curious!
