She had been feeling all too mushy for Jaehyun it was crazy to have the same feelings to Taeyong. 6 days had passed since their first kiss yet that’s the only thing she could feel on her lips and the only things that had been playing in her mind. It was just… crazy.

“Are you okay ?” Taeyong asked her concerned with her sudden silent. She snapped from h er daydream and smiled to Taeyong. “Nothing. I’m just pretty much anxious for our exam. Have you been studying well??” she asked him and Taeyong shrugged. He took another sipped on his matcha latte. “Nothing had been going on as well as I wanted to..” he sighed.

“Wanna take a walk?”

The two of them walked out from the cafe and took a walk at the park near the park. Taeyong was holding her hand and she was smiling at the mere contact with him. Hayeon was confused. There’s no way she could have like Jaehyun more than she likes Taeyong. Taeyong was the only man she had been having a crush on since elementary. Touching Jaehyun had never gave her the same spark as what Taeyong was doing at that time. So why..

… does the kiss felt so mesmerizing?

Taeyong’s step stopped and they stared at the sky, watching as the sky slowly turned blue. “Taeyong,” she called him softly. Taeyong turned to look at her who was already looking at him. The two stared at each other in silence. She tiptoed and kissed him without saying anything. Taeyong was surprised but he smiled into the kiss. His body shifted for a comfortable position and his held her by her waist, leaning down a little bit.

When she wanted to pull back, Taeyong leaned in and secured the kiss for another good 20 seconds then he retreated. “I should have been the one to initiate a kiss,” he chuckled.

She just smiled and nodded a little.

It was finally exam week. Hayeon haven’t contact Jaehyun for 2 weeks now and they didn’t really talk at school. Jaehyun would still put her favourite coffee milk along with her favourite chocolate under her table. And sometimes he would left notes telling her to text him because he missed her.

She wanted an alone time for this exam. Everything was a mess for her. Her feelings and thoughts mostly. It was surprising that she did okay in her exams. Thanks to Jaehyun’s tutoring. Everything that he taught her, she clearly remembered. If her grades are good after this, she might as well get something from her parent as a present

After their final papers, Hayeon packed up her stuffs and walked to Jaehyun’s class, waiting for him. She leaned against the wall while waiting for Jaehyun. The boy finally came out with his arms around Jungwoo. He was smiling as usual but for some reasons it didn’t look genuinely happy.

When he looked up and saw her , the smile changed. “Hayeon!” Jaehyun let go of Jungwoo and quickly ran to Hayeon and opened up his arms but stopped when he remembered about what happened. Hayeon raised an eyebrow at Jaehyun and went up to hug him instead. The latter was surprised but hugged her anyways, getting all the ‘wuu’ and ‘boo’ from the people passing by.

“I missed you a lot,” she mumbled and let go of the hug. Jaehyun seemed a little taken back but he smirked proudly. “And here I am thinking that you don’t care about me anymore,” he pouted a little and linked arms with her. Hayeon chuckled and walked. “Just need some times. Why would I do that to you?”

“Because I’m Jaehyun?”

“shut up, Jae.”

The two laughed and went to the nearest cafe to grab some coffees and light lunch. Jaehyun noticed how tensed Hayeon was and he was concerned about it. Her sudden cold shoulder to him for the past two weeks had made his brain go wild with thoughts. It was to the point he had a feeling that he’ll flop this mock test because of her. He doesn’t want to blame her but he had to. He couldn’t think of anything else except for her and her only.

The kiss. The touch. The confession. And Taeyong.

He knew Taeyong had another girl behind her back. That was why Taeyong was ‘out of town’ for the whole week that time. He was with his girlfriend that was not Hayeon. That was also the reasons why Taeyong never posted about Hayeon on any of social medias. He hated him.

He wanted to expose him.

Jaehyun let Hayeon took a seat while he went and ordered for their drinks and something to munch on. He bought one salmon bagel and a slice of tiramisu cake. Just the way she liked it. He went back to the seat with the buzzer. When he approached the table, Hayeon seemed to be so out of zone. “Something bothering you is it?” Jaehyun asked. Hayeon looked at Jaehyun who was taking a seat infront of her.

“I guess.. I do have something to tell you..” she sighed. “I don’t want this thought to bother me and bother you because it’s not long till we’re going to sit for our finals..” she said. Jaehyun was nervous. He was scared even. He cleared his throat and waited for her to continue. “G-go on..”

Hayeon was a bit hesitating but that was the only time he could talk to him. “Is it crazy if I tell you that the only thing I’ve been thinking these past few days was us kissing?” she didn’t look at him but god knows how much Jaehyun liked it. She had been thinking about me.. he told himself. “It’s crazy because you effect me more than Taeyong does. More than anything. It’s crazy because.. I liked Taeyong so much but why you effect me so much?” she looked up and was greeted by Jaehyun beautiful features.

“See. Even right now.. I feel like my heart is racing so bad because of you. What have you done to me, Jung Jaehyun.” she covered her face with both of her hands and whined. “I don’t want us to be awkward and I know I’m the one who’s making everything awkward…I ju-”

Jaehyun hold her wrist and moved her hands away from her face. When she looked at him, he was already kneeling on the floor staring at her. “I really wish I can kiss you right now but people are watching so I’m just gonna peck your hands.” he pecked the back of her hands and, haa, that charming prince smile was drawn across his face. “I have something to tell you too but let me go take our order first,” he showed the vibrating buzzer and stood up. Hayeon nodded and looked at him as he walked away.

She did notice people were actually staring at them and she somehow got embarrassed. Jaehyun got back with their orders and she couldn’t help but to smile. He always knew what she wanted without having to actually tell him anything.

“You know,” he said as he began to cut the bagel into smaller pieces so that they could eat together. “The best option for you is to actually date me,” he said with a chuckle and he pushed the plate to the middle so it’s easier for them to eat. Hayeon looked at him, a little dumbfounded. “What about Ta-” he hissed at the mere mentioned of Taeyong’s name. He had enough with his bull.

“I want to show you something but I don’t want to make a scene here.”

“You expect me to cry is it?”

“It could happen. You love him so much..”

“I,” she paused, biting on her lower lips. “Don’t ruin your lips. That’s mine to be ruin,” he made the comment so casually, she had to kick his leg underneath the table. He just chuckled. “You’re ruining the sad mood,” she said and took a piece of the bagel. “We kissed..”

“Yeah, I know,”

“Not us you idiot. I meant me and Taeyong..” she retorted and Jaehyun let out a soft ‘o’. shaking her head, she continued. “But I felt nothing. No sparks and I feel like it’s fine if we never kiss again.”

“Who kiss first? Your or him?”

“Me..”

“Lucky bastard.” he clicked his tongue and stuffed another piece in his mouth, munching on it angrily. Hayeon took a sip on her drinks. “I just.. need a reason to not stay with him. He’s not making me feel happy..”

For a moment there, she swore she saw Jaehyun’s eyes twinkled. The boy took out his phone and unlocked the screen for her. “since I have a feelings you won’t really cry that hard… I should just show you here..” he went to his Instagram and opened up Yuta’s account page. “I want you .. to break up with him right now. I don’t care anymore..” he showed her the stories. Thank god Yuta saved it.

Hayeon’s hand was trembling a little when she held the phone in her hand. The video played and she could clearly saw Taeyong dancing on the floor with a girl. Too handsy. Unlike the Taeyong she’s with. The stories moved to a new one and literally there, with a caption. ‘our lovebirds’ Taeyong was kissing someone there.

Even though she swore she wont cry too much, she did. Her tears dropped without herself knowing. She could feel her heart broke to pieces and how all those memories of him with her played. He played her. He tricked her. What does she mean to him when he has that girl as his girlfriend?

Jaehyun was watching her all the time. From how her eyes glistering with the tears until the tears fell down from her eyes. He quickly took a seat beside her and covered her up. Hayeon put down the phone on the table. “How long have you been knew about this?” she asked and tried so hard to remained herself calm. Jaehyun put an arm around her and his thumb caressed the tip of her shoulder lovingly.

“earlier than you do.” he answered simply and that made her scoffed. “Can we go home?” she asked him. At that moment, he knew that she’s going to cry out her heart content alone and possibly she would do harm to herself again and he doesn’t want that to happen. “No.” he said sternly.

She gave him the look and before she could say anything, he pecked her lips. “I said no. I’m not letting you cry over a trash can. I’m telling my mom so she can tell your mom you’re having a special lesson with me.”

“Jaehyun our papers finished today.”

“Let’s create a paper for tomorrow.”

-

He was really not lying about it. It’s just a super miracle that his mom was in this scheme also. Jaehyun and Hayeon went to stay at one of Mrs. Jung apartments for the night. She gave the children food and some pocket money for them to stay the night.

Hayeon was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Jaehyun to finish heating the food that his mom packed. Jaehyun did also offered to buy some alcohol but she refused to drink any. She wanted to be sober and don’t want to waste her first time drinking with stressing over trash can. Jaehyun approved so he bought them milks instead.

“Dinners ready~” he sang as he put down the dishes and a bowl of rice for each of them. Hayeon sat on the floor next to Jaehyun and they began to dig in while watching some random movies on the television. Everything felt so normal and casual for the two of them and truth be told, she wasn’t thinking about Taeyong as much as she thought she would to. After finished dinner, the two of them washed the dishes together.

“i can’t believe I’m doing this,” Jaehyun said as he wiped the plates before placing it on the shelves while Hayeon washed it. “Why?”

“Feels like I just got myself a wife,” he chuckled shyly and that made Hayeon to choke on her own saliva. Jaehyun pat on her back with his wet hand purposely leaving marks on her shirt. “Jung Jaehyun!!” she whined and splashed the water to him. Jaehyun laughed and moved away from her. “Don’t! you’ll get soap all over myself~”

After washing the dishes and washing their face, they sat down on the sofas watching Christopher Robin. It was her choice. She just wanted to cry and that’s the best movie to cry to. It wasn’t even half of the movie and she was already sobbing. Jaehyun too but he had to remain his cool because he doesn’t want to cry in front of her.

“Do you want to share blankets?” he asked as he flap the blanket. Hayeon nodded and got closer to him. Jaehyun placed the blanket on them and comfortably let her rest her head on his chest. Hayeon couldn’t help but to cry over and over again while watching and Jaehyun even offer his sleeves to wipe her tears off while he used his other sleeves to wipe his.

“Why are we crying at a winnie the pooh movie?” she asked as she wiped her tears. Jaehyun chuckled and wrapped his arms around her, squishing her small figures. “Because we are humans with feelings. And we’re the soft ones that cry easily. Is it a crime to cry?” Jaehyun stated and that made her to look up only to find how close their face were. She couldn’t help but to stare at his lips. Therefore, the memories of them kissing replayed again.

Jaehyun smiled. “Why do you have to stare when you can just have it?” he caressed her arms softly and Hayeon looked away. “I don’t want to throw myself to people anymore.”

“Lucky bastard,” he mumbled under his breath but she caught him. “Why you keep on saying that?”

“Because you kissed him first but you don’t want to ‘throw yourself to people anymore’ to me,” he quoted her and she giggled. “Oh god, you’re so childish..”

That’s because I genuinely love you, Hayeon.. he said that in his mind. He could never voice that out. Maybe not yet. He don’t want to pressure her.

“I’m going to talk to Taeyong about it..”

“About what?

“Ending it..”

Jaehyun heart did a thing. He was scared if she noticed his heartbeat suddenly sped up so he shifted himself a little bit. Hayeon fixed her position and she chuckled hearing his heartbeat. “I didn’t know you’re an easily nervous guy..”

“who said I’m nervous..” he tried to defend himself. “I’m just a little h-hot..” he slapped himself mentally for stuttering but that made Hayeon laughed and sat up properly. “You’re weird and ugh..” she bit her lips. “Please wait till I end things first.. I don’t want to be like him..”

Jaehyun rolled his eyes. “You’re way better than him. If you’re not gonna kiss me then I will,” he said and held her chin. “I’m going..” he giggled as he leaned in and kissed her who was also giggling at his actions.

To be continued.
