Awkward
It's Complicated
Han Mi-na's POV:
Choi Jonghun has been talking to me the whole night. I can’t seem to find an excuse to not talk to him. Everyone was busy talking to someone else and they had this feeling of not wanting to “disturb” us or something. So the whole night I was so tense. I stopped drinking since I might end up drunk with all the nervousness i was feeling because of this guy. Then suddenly, a voice saved me from all the emotions I was going through.
“Ya! Jonghun, we have to go!” Lee Hongki was pulling Jonghun off his seat.
“What? WHY?” Jonghun looks confused at Hongki’s nagging.
“Ya! What’s wrong with you? Did you forget? Today is…” I did not catch what Hongki said since he whispered it to jonghun. I did not bother to listen as well since it seems private. Jonghun however, looks pissed and disappointed at the same time. he jumped from his seat and looked towards me.
“I have to go…” He sounds so disappointed I don’t know why but I didn’t bother to ask either. I hate to say it but im kind of relieved since I have been nervous the whole time I was talking to him.
“Bye-bye then.” I don’t know what face I was making but I’m pretty sure I failed to hide how relieve I am since his face became more disappointed after I said goodbye.
Hours went by and it has gotten pretty late. Chulsoon asked if I wanted to leave already. we go home together most of the time since we live close to each other. But Jung-Oh stopped me and asked me to stay. “But if I don’t go home with Chulsoon now, no one will take me home. And it’s pretty late.”
“You live near Jaejin right? Why don’t you go home with him instead? Just stay a bit more. We barely get to be with you and Jognhun-hyung was talking to you the entire time.” Jung-Oh reasoned out. But I just gave him a face of disbelief when he said I GO HOME WITH JAEJIN. I leaned closer to him and whispered, “We don’t even talk personally! Even though he picks on me, it’s not directly addressed to me! Are you ing kidding me?!”
“Eh? But I’m sure it’s all right with him. Just stay a bit more!” and with that, Jung-Oh went to Jaejin and asked if he could take me home instead so I can stay a little longer. I see him nod and Jung-Oh went back to tell me that Jaejin agrees.
“Chulsoon, I’ll stay a bit more. You can go without me. Careful on the way home okay?” we all bid goodbye to Chulsoon and went back to our business after he left. I noticed from time to time that Jaejin will look at his watch and will look at me. I’m not sure if it was just my imagination but I saw him did that for like three times. So I gathered my strength and talked to him for the first time.
“Jaejiin, what time are you going to go home?” I asked him. Wow. I was pretty composed despite the struggle of bringing myself to talk to him. I feel no awkwardness though but rather, it felt just like talking to a friend. He looked at his watch and said, “You? It depends on what time you want to go home. I’m fine whenever.” I just nodded and went back to talking with the others again.
Time flies sure really fast and this night is getting longer than I expected. It’s 3:30am already. I’m so dead when I get home this late. He must have noticed me looking at my watch concerned, he then said goodbye to everyone then came up to me. “Let’s go home.” I just nodded and everyone decided to end the night also.
