Prom? Park Chanyeol

Minji POV

I entered school like any other day. But today, was CHAOS! This was the last day to find a date to the prom and then POOF! Prom night... Seems like everyone has a date now by the looks of it... except me. I don't go to prom. I never went in the past years and I am not going to start. I entered my classroom and it was as talkative as ever, my class. When I was passing my seat, I couldn't help but hear the conversations going on. They were all talking about prom... of course. I just don't get it! Why spend all your money on a dress that you are only going to wear ONCE and but a pair of frickin expensive shoes all for one night. Come on! It's just like any other dance expect you are dressed up nicely. Why not just wear a dress you already have? Sigh, I just don't get people these days. I sat in my seat and took my books out, getting ready for class

"Minji-ah!" my best friend shouted. I didn't jump but instead, I looked up with a questioning stare

"What?" I asked him. He looked disappointed and he pouted. I laughed on the inside. I knew my response wasn't what he expected. Hehe~ that's what I planned and it worked. Oh, Chanyeol...

"You're no fun" he joked. I preteneded to be angry and slapped him on the shoulder

"OW! Minji what was that for?" he rubbed the spot I hit. I stuck my tongue out at him and crossed my arms over my chest

"No reason at all" I responded. I noticed that Chanyeol didn't reply, but he looked rather... quiet. I poked his arm

"Hey, look I'm sorry I hit you" I apologized. He looked up and gave me a weak smile. I was confused. Why was he acting like this all of a sudden? Just yesterday he was his regular happy virus self! I poked his arm again

"Yah, what's wrong?" I asked him. Of course, being the good friend that I am... It took him a while to respond. I was about to give up when he started to talk

"I-i want to confess to this girl, but I don't know how" Chanyeol finally said. My heart dropped... Oh, that's it. No one knows but I have a HUGE crush on him... 5 years now. But I knew that he will never like my back. You see it all the time in dramas...

"R-Really?" I tried to keep myself from trying to punch someone next to me. I wanted to cry out in frustration but that would just make me look stupid

"Yeah, and I want to ask her to prom but I just don't know what to say" Chanyeol let his head bang on the table, making my jump in the process. I didn't know what to say

"Uhh, ok, well how long have you liked this girl?" I asked him. I know, I know. You think I should try to get him into going with his crush but that's not what best friends do. I can't let my feelings take over. I have to help him even though it's breaking my inside

"I liked her since 6th grade so... about 7 years now" My mouth almost hung open. I know FOR SURE that I lost now. I gulped

"Ok so obviously you have strong feelings for her. I think you should just tell her that you liked her for that many years and tell her all the things you like about her... i guess" I suggested. Not one of my best ideas but that's the only thing I could come up with at the moment. Chanyeol thought for a moment

"That's a good idea! Hey! Since you're a girl, how do you want to be asked to prom?" he asked me. I got really into thought about this. I would never think that someone would ask me to prom and of course they didn't, so I never thought about it. I had an idea!

"Well, I would want to be taken on a date. Even though I don't know about that it's a date. And since prom is tomorrow, I would want that person to take me on a date tonight" I told him. Chanyeol was thinking again. Hard too. I never seen Chanyeol think like this. Wow, he must really like this girl. She is one lucky chick

"What kind of date?" he asked after he was done thinking. That made me get thinking

"Well... a romantice date. No eating out or like any other normal dates you see now. I want that person to take me up on a hill, that has an amazing view of the city and night. I like to look at the lights and its just so... beautiful" I imagined the perfect date in my head... and I imagined it with my best friend, who was my perfect guy. But, not going to happen... Chanyeol was about to speak but I continued on

"And I want us to just sit there, enjoying each other's presence. Me laying on his shoulder and his head resting on top of my head. And when things could get any better, I could want him to confess to me right then and there, asking my to prom" I sighed, thinking about my fantasy. I finally snapped out of it and turned back to Chanyeol and gave him a smile. He was looking at me differently. A look that I never seen him look at me before. I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly

"Silly right?" Chanyeol shook his head frantically

"NO! Not at all! It's actually, really romantic" Chanyeol stated. I blushed at the comment

"T-Thanks... But! It's just my own little fantasy and it would probably be too much work for that guy..." I laughed awkwardly. Finally the bell rang, singaling that it was time for class. Chanyeol, who sits in front of me, turned around and started paying attention in class... well not really. It looked like he was writing down notes but he wasn't. He was planning down everything he was going to do tonight. The top of his paper said Operation Confess to Love <3

I laughed at it, but then I sighed. I started to drift away from the lesson and looked out the window, letting a tear drop from my eye. I quickly wiped it away before anyone could notice it.

Finally school ended and I rushed out of the building. When I passed the school gates, I slowed down my pace. I heaved out a heavy sigh and swung my bag around. I then placed my bag in front of me and continued walking at my slow pace. The reason for my racing out of the school is because of Chanyeol. I didn't want to face him now. I just couldn't. I passed a few dress stores on my way home. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous. I saw a bunch of high schoolers like my, trying on a bunch of dresses. They looked gorgeous too. I sulked. Now I was imagining, Chanyeol's love being in a dress like that and having to go to prom with the perfect guy. I sighed and I didn't realized that I reached home already. I must have been in deep thought

I finished my homework and decided to take a shower. Once I was done drying my hair, I checked my phone to see if I had any messages. Surprisingly, I had 1 new message. I opened it up and it was from Chanyeol

To: Minji

Minji-ah! Come over to _____ hurry!

From: Chanyeol

I texted him back. I thought he was going to 'confess' to his crush

To: Chanyeol

Wae? I thought you were confessing to your crush tonight? You better hurry up before it's too late

From: Minji

I waited for him to reply back. After 5 minutes, Chanyeol texted back

To: Minji

That's the thing. I got rejected. So can you please come here? I don't want to get up and I need someone for comfort me :(

From: Chanyeol

I gasped in his text message. He got rejected? I was having mixed feelings right now. Should I be jumping around all happy because he got rejected and that leaves me a chance? Or should I be sad that my best friend/crush got rejected by his crush who he liked for 7 years... Anyway, I decided to go and cheer him up. It's the least I can do for him

I arrived at the location where he was at. Surpirsingly, he took my advice and he confessed at a hill... that looks over the city! Wah~! I never knew we had a place like this. I looked out into the city looking amazed. I realized that I was here for Chanyeol, not this. It was hard to look away but I managed to do it and I looked for Chanyeol. He was on the floor looking depressed. I felt pity for him for like the first time ever. I went up to him and sat down next to him

"Hey" I nudged him. He looked up and he started to grin and now he looked a lot happier. Like his happy virus self

"You made it" he said. I nodded

"Yep" we sat there in silence. Both of us looking at the pretty lights and beautiful scenery that overglows the city. I started to get sleepy and laid my head on Chanyeol's shoulder

"Sorry..." I mumbled

"It's fine. Go to sleep for now" Chanyeol's deep voice was like music to my ears. I smiled and closed my eyes. Even though this was a sad time for Chanyeol, this has probably got to be one of the best nights of my life. This moment right now is perfect. Exactly how I imagined it and I never thought that it would also be with my crush

"Minji?" Chanyeol called my name. I hummed in responce. His shoulder moved and I also moved my head. I sat up straight and turned to him. He didn't respond but looked me in the eye.

"Chanyeol, wae?" I asked him. Chanyeol grabbed me by the shoulders tightly still looking into my eyes. I gulped. Oh my god, what is he gonna do? Is he mad at me because of my wrong advice? Or is it because I didn't ask him what happened? I was suddenly pulled into a hug. A warm, and comfortable hug.

"C-Chanyeol?" I stuttered, heat rising in my cheeks

"I like you" he suddenly blurted out. I was frozen in my spot. W-What did he just say. When I didn't respond, he pulled away from the hug, looking into my eyes again

"I said... I like you. No. Scratch that, I love you" he confessed. I was so stunned. I looked from left to right, and kind of behind me. Then I looked back at Chanyeol. He looked so serious. I pointed to myself and he nodded. I wanted to say something but I was tight-lipped right now

"Minji-ah, please say something" he begged. I want to say the same things to him but I was just too shocked to even respond. After a few moments trying to calm down, I started to speak

"Chanyeol, you like me?" I asked him back. I could see that Chanyeol was a bit disappointed that that was my answer

"Yes. I, Chanyeol, am in love with you, Minji" he firmly stated. I couldn't be any happier. I hugged Chanyeol tight and I could sense that Chanyeol was a bit surprised. He finally relaxed and hugged me back, also tightly. After our hug, I pulled back and gave him a loving smile. He returned the smile

"Minji-ah. I know it's a bit late but... will you go to prom with me?" he asked. I could tell that he was nervous as hell. I didn't need to think, I already knew my answer. I pulled him in for a kiss. Chanyeol again was surprised, more surprised than last time. I smiled into the kiss when he kissed me back. I pulled away the kiss and gasped for air, also Chanyeol. Our foreheads touched and the only sound was our breathing. Chanyeol decided to break the silence

"So is that a yes?" I laughed and pecked his lips

"It's a yes"

Well, this was longer than I expected... hope you like Chanyeol's story ^^
