The night ended in unwanted farewells. Jongin was still confused about what Baekhyun meant by his text. It was already 11:08 and he was fidgeting behind the brunette as he gave Chanyeol his phone number.

“I’ll be waiting for your reply.” If Jongin wasn’t so focused on Kyungsoo, he would’ve noticed the model blush a deep scarlet as  he nodded sheepishly. Joonmyun had left an hour ago, due to “issues.” It seemed Kyungsoo understood perfectly for he asked no questions.

“Kai?”

Jongin’s heart skipped a beat as he smiled at Kyungsoo. He was fidgeting his fingers and awkwardly swallowed. Jongin felt glad he was not the only one who got nervous.

“Baekhyun told me that you have something to tell me?” he mumbled cutely. Jongin noticed that Chanyeol and Baekhyun were nowhere in sight. He thanked Baekhyun a million times in mind before giving his attention to the cutie in front of him.

You’re a genius, Baekhyun. Jongin beamed and nodded. Maybe his friend actually knew what he was doing. He seriously underestimated his best friend too much.

As Kyungsoo led him to a more secluded area of the residence, it began to transform into a garden filled with flowers that Jongin only saw in castles located in Europe. When Kyungsoo stopped at a marble bench and sat down, realization set in.

What was he supposed to ask in the first place? He awkwardly took a seat next to Kyungsoo and gulped rather loudly.

He decided to ask the first question that popped into his mind. “What time is it?”

Kyungsoo blinked twice before reacting. He glanced at his phone and smiled.

“Eleven eleven.”

At that moment, a rush of emotions overcame Jongin. He starred as Kyungsoo shut his eyes and mumbled softly.

“Have we met before? As in before you transferred?” Jongin blurted out as Kyungsoo opened his eyes.

“No, why?” he questioned. Jongin narrowed his eyes and shrugged. “Deja vu,” he replied. He let it slide and grinned at the doe eyed male.

“So what were you mumbling about?”

Kyungsoo blushed and looked down. “You’ll think I’m silly...”

“I already do,” Jongin reasoned. A good kind of silly. Kyungsoo hummed in agreement.

“Touche. Well, someone once told me that eleven eleven is a special  number. It’s supposedly the luckiest time of the day. So everytime I see the clock at eleven eleven I-”

“-make a wish.” Jongin finished, surprised at his knowledge. Last time he heard that was when his mother was still alive. And that was more than 12 years ago.

Kyungsoo clapped in awe. “Yes! Glad to know I’m not the only one. Make a wish before the minute ends!”

Jongin smiled lazily as he was melted internally by Kyungsoo’s natural cuteness. He complied and wished deeply.

Um, eleven eleven god? I’m sorry I don’t know who you are, but anyhow please never take Kyungsoo away from me. I don’t expect him to reciprocate  my feelings, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to live without him. As long as he is near. I’m okay with that.

“It’s 11:12 now! Did you create a wish?” Kyungsoo questioned intensely as he eyed Jongin’s dumbfounded expression. He desperately yearned to know Jongin’s wish.

Jongin playfully rolled his eyes before nudging Kyungsoo’s side. “Kyung, I’m glad you’re my friend.”

Kyungsoo’s heart broke at the sound of those words. Those are not the words you would want to hear from your crush. Possibly, even the person you may be in love with him. He faked a coughed and nodded. “F-friend?”

Jongin bobbed his head without hesitation as he stood up and stretched his defined arms. “Of course, you’re my friend, silly. Let’s go inside, I’m pretty sure Baekhyun is looking for me now.”

Plus, before I kiss you. But Jongin kept that part to himself. That is not exactly the thing you inform your friends of.

“You’re right, Baekhyun is probably at the entrance. Let’s go...” Jongin couldn’t help but notice a tone of disappointment in Kyungsoo’s chocolatey voice. Unfortunately, he shook it off as a sign of tiredness.

Both boys made their way back to the entrance. They were surprised when they found a shocking image of Baekhyun and Chanyeol lip-locking. They didn’t notice their presence until Kyungsoo cleared his throat. Talk about awkward.

Baekhyun shrug it off as nothing while Chanyeol blushed furiously and pulled Kyungsoo inside with him as a taxi arrived since it was too late for buses.

As Jongin and Baekhyun made their own way home, the brunette huffed and puffed as he gave Jongin stink eye.

“The whole point of this plan was to get you and Kyungsoo to hook up. You came way too early.”

“Well sorry I ruined your make out session.”

“Not just any make out session. A make out session with Korea’s top model.”

“Whatever.”

The ride home was silent as the tan boy and brunette refused to communicate with one another. That lasted only 3 minutes long however. A pop song from their childhood came out and they couldn’t help but burst into Britney’s Spears Hit Me Baby One More Time.
