Jin's soft yet strained smile made you worry in an instant. What could make such a kind man like him, worried and strained, especially when he looked at you? But the look in his eyes was all too noticeable and it hurt you. It made your mind travel back to his behavior yesterday and you tried to reorganize your thoughts so you knew what you wanted to say. His soft hair shone a lighter tone under the sunlight and it made his expression seem even sadder, if that was even possible. Damn it! He looked like a kicked puppy for God's sake!

"_________." He spoke your name in a mere whisper that made your heart drop a little.

"Jin? Is something wrong?" You asked softly, wondering if that was even the right thing to say. 

Jin took in a deep breath, the scared look in your eyes made him feel horrible, he never wanted you to be anything but happy. When you asked him what was wrong he became overjoyed. Knowing you, he knew that you cared almost too much, even if it's for someone who cared for you even more. He knew he had to just say what ge needed, get it over with. But there was an obstacle. He needed to ask and say everything in way that wouldn't hurt you. His mind spun and he didn't know what to do with himself, besides just letting the words tumble out seamlessly, hoping you woukd take then the right way. He placed his hands on your small shoulders and took in a deep breath, visibly letting you know that he was going to say something big and hard. 
"Before you respond or take any of this the wrong way I want you to listen to me and understand that I was just upset and worried. I might have thought of things wrongly and I just want you to tell me if I'm wrong. I don't want to be chasing after something I can't have." He explained quickly, hoping his words were right.

You took in every word like a sponge, wondering what he was going to say that made him worry and think so hard, but you had to admit.... He was damn mature for saying something like that at his age. When he spoke it reminded you of an adult. But only sometimes.

"Whatever you have to say I will listen wholeheartedly and won't judge you, no matter what you have to say." You nodded to him.

The only thing you hoped was that he wasn't going to tell you his preference was for his own gender. You didn't have anything against people that liked the same gender. But it would be a damn shame if this gorgeous man was only on the market for men.

"I feel like I took things the wrong way, but just hear me out." Jin took in a deep breath, preparing himself, "I saw you yesterday morning acting close to your first hour teacher. I just want to see if my thoughts are right... are you related anyway or in any kind of... relationship?" Jin asked awkwardly and you couldn't help but smile sweetly.

Even though you could've laughed your off with the thought that your cousin and you were in a relationship, you didn't. You kept a promise to Jin and stayed quiet, not openly judging what he had said. Deep down jin was very grateful for you quiet response, but it also worried him that he was right and your silence didn't help in any way.

"Jin, my first hour teacher is my cousin. We are related. I'm also related to Mr. LuHan and I'm really good friends with all the other male teachers. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Never did I think that you would have taken it that way. I'm sorry." You apologized and you realized that you both were being very civilized about the subject, "I do thank you for being so nice and calm about this. Anyone else would have been worse." You ended with a compliment.

Jin smiled happily, he was so happy that he could die. He was also very happy that you didn't take things like the normal person would have. The normal girl would have called him an idiot, or even laughed in his face and refused to explain, but not you. Out of pure happiness he could just hug you! But that was a week ahead of his schedule and he wanted to stick to his not so complicated schedule.

Both of you began giggling about it and both agreed that explaining things calmly like this was the best way instead of shouting and getting in any way upset. You spent the last of lunch talking to Jin about art and wondering what he was going to draw. He lied and said he didn't know, but in reality he wanted to take a picture of you without your knowledge and use that. He had the same plan as you, but you both didn't know of the others.
