jykyungri:

( ... )

     is she ready for this? 

     she has no choice now, does she? she’s put on the dress and the shoes and she’s gotten ready. there’s still time to back out, of course, but there’s a voice in the back of her mind telling her that she’s got to do this. 

     okay, no turning back. 

     taking a deep breath, kyungri puts her keys into the clutch, along with her phone and prince’s and casper’s pokeballs, making sure that there was food set out for topaz and victoire before she steps out and locks the door behind her, bidding farewell to her pichu. no turning back, she reminds herself, heading out of her apartment and down to the street in front of it, eyeing an unfamiliar car. she takes another deep breath before she walks up to it, feeling a bit awkward in the formal wear and she tries to peer in through the side window. 

     “… j?”

              waiting for her to come outside was agonizing. but then again, most girls would take a while to prepare. especially a girl who didn’t know where she was being taken to and was only given a note, an expensive dress paired with equally expensive shoes. jaehwan could hear his wallet crying. but he still had his savings that he set aside for...for the future. so he cast all of his worries away and made sure his hair was still looking sleek and in order. he hated having any sort of styling product in his hair since he felt awkward and vulnerable. but his mother always told him that he looked the best with his hair pushed back. so he tried. for her.

              once he heard the door open, he straightened up in his seat, hands immediately grasping the steering wheel. he tilted his head downwards in an attempt to conceal his identity. he had changed his hair color to an “ash gray” for this occasion which made him very unrecognizable. he stepped out of the driver’s seat and slowly, very carefully, walked around the front side of the car to open the door to the backseat as gracefully as he could. he wanted to seem princely for kyungri at least just for this day only. 

              “please step inside, princess,” he said, almost choking on the last word. it was hard to get it out of his mouth and he wasn’t even sure if the other heard it clearly. this time, he looked up, trying his best to muster a confident smile. “j will be waiting for you at our destination. i’m just his trusty driver.” once their eyes met, he couldn’t help but smile widely, hoping that she would really believe that there was another guy waiting for her. when in truth, it was him all along. just lee jaehwan. the best friend.

jytia:

Though she’d been in contact with her older cousin since arriving earlier in the year, Tia hadn’t actually had the chance to go see him. She’d been so busy with contests and everything that had to do with them that she was unable to spare even a day to go visit. But this time around, Jaehwan had managed to catch her when she was completely free, something that almost seemed like a miracle for her these days.

She was quick to punch in a few reply texts and once she pressed send, she tossed her phone to the side immediately and started getting ready.

[ ✉ → JAEHWAN 💪] UGH, I’VE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH [ ✉ → JAEHWAN 💪] I’m actually FREE for once so I will definitely get ready right now and get the next train out!

              Jaehwan flipped through the channels in the television, just half listening to his mother’s nagging. Ever since her “change of heart”, his mother had done her best to get back to everyone’s good side. His, specifically. It came to the point where she would invite relatives out of the blue and Jaehwan had to deal with a full house with little kids running around and using his draft and calligraphy pen as drawing tools. But Tia was much older than his other cousins, nephews or nieces or whoever they were in the family tree. Jaehwan was extremely fond of her and so he took the liberty of contacting her first.

              When his phone vibrated, signally that she had finally replied back. His face lit up, tapping against his screen eagerly. “MOM! Tia’s coming over!” He shouted excitedly. He could hear his mother’s excited gasp and her small feet running around the kitchen. Probably to make more food. It’s a miracle Jaehwan was in good shape.

              [ ✉ → TIA  ♥ ] — WE MISSED YOU TOO!!!

              [ ✉ → TIA  ♥ ] — Tell me if you want me to pick you up, okay?  

              [ ✉ → TIA  ♥ ] — Mom’s readying a buffet just for you.

[jykyungri-blog]

    checking the mail was just part of her daily routine, always had been. she’s used to it by now, receiving cheques and bills and magazines and everything that everyone else got as well. she wasn’t exactly expecting anything different today as she empties out her p.o. box as well as the mailbox once she’s home, idly flipping through everything as she walks up to her apartment. the letter is a surprise to her, blinking at it quietly as she opens it.

    “what?” it’s surprising to her, blinking at the letter in front of her door before she steps inside, closing the door behind her with her hip as she puts the rest of the mail onto the counter, reading the short letter again.

    the golden “J” doesn’t give her much of a hint of who it may be – she has an inkling of an idea of who it may be but she has no idea, in all honestly. deciding to just go with it and wing it on the way, she smiles to herself and tucks the letter back into the envelope.

[jyjaehwan]

he had planned it to perfection. at least, that’s what he believed. sometimes, a silver of doubt would creep in and he would shout his frustrations. there had been one too many times that he wanted to return the dress, the shoes, cancel the reservations he made. just like he had been doing these past years. he knew that this was a grand gesture and if kyungri rejected him, he’s gonna be broke for a month. but his best friend...the first person who showed him a world beyond the hospital rooms he frequented and his bedroom...the girl who made him feel so warm and at home... she deserved everything.

he held the two boxes in his hand, both colored in cream and glossy. he had shed his hoodie and slacks in favor for a sleek suit with a burgundy tie. his chocolate brown hair was pushed back with a side part, revealing his face. he remembered going through the pain of a make up artist putting on make-up on him. he was only pampered this much when he had book signings or social gatherings to attend to. smiling awkwardly to himself, he locked the car and stepped closer to the door and pressing the doorbell.

his nerves got the hold of him and he looked down at the boxes he was wearing, almost dropping them. “i-- i came with a special delivery,” he said through the receiver, his voice shaking audibly. sweat seemed to run down the sides of his forehead and he had the insane itch to wipe it off. but he would, in that process, ruin his whole look. “j will be waiting for you in the car when you’re finished,” he said next, carefully placing the boxes down on the front of her door with a singular lily in an intricately designed see through box on top. 

lilies meant...

i dare you to love me.

and jaehwan hoped that she would understand its meaning. he ran away so fast after he placed the boxes that he was panting when he slipped inside the driver’s seat. he could only hear the thundering of his chest, his hand reaching out to pat his chest, asking it to calm down.

     the grin that spreads across her face when he accepts the invitation is a wide one, and she’s honestly so relieved when he agrees that she almost questions her intentions in the first place. “you will? promise?” she asks, having to make sure he was being entirely sincere about it, though there’s no doubt in her mind that he is. its just a habit of hers, wanting to hear him confirm that he wants to see her walk in a show, always just enjoying the fact that he wanted to be there for her. 

     she waves goodbye to his mother when the older lady takes her leave, bringing the trash from the snacks they had devoured with her, glancing at her best friend on the ground before watching as he plops himself onto the bed next to her and she laughs. “she talks to me so much because she knows everything you’ve been doing, silly, you live with her.” 

     “oh, yeah i can look for one for her,” kyungri smiles, laying down next to him and she rolls onto her side, pillowing her head against her arm as she looks in his general direction, amused because his face was blocked by the pillow he was hugging. “she liked the one i got her last time, right? the one with the soft bristles?” she notes it to herself quietly, taking out her phone from her pocket to type it into her notes so she wouldn’t forget to grab a new brush for his ninetales, tucking it away once she had written it down. 

     stretching out comfortably on his bed, she nudges him gently, deciding to get his attention so she could bring up a question she had had for a while. or well, a few questions she had had for a while and she considers all of them in her mind before carefully deciding on one, knowing that she would get to the rest of them eventually. 

     “do you like anyone?” she asks softly, waiting for him to give her his full attention and she’s been curious for a while. “it’s been forever since the last time you told me you had a crush on anyone … actually, i don’t think you’ve ever told me if you liked anyone.” she pouts at him, jutting her lips out in an attempt to be cute to try to convince him to tell her these things, huffing softly and nudging him again. “aren’t i your best friend, jaehwannie? i used to tell you everything when i was dating hakyeon and about all the guys who gave me their numbers and stuff! but you haven’t told me a single thing about your love life … a girl’s gotta know these things about her best friend!”

[jyjaehwan]

              ah. her smile is so beautiful. it made his heart ache. how can she be so happy just because of him? it still baffles him to this day that she truly valued him the way she did. he always thought it was one sided. “i will, don’t worry. i don’t have much to do lately. plus, i don’t think i’ve ever seen you model.” he grabbed another pillow and lodged it in between his legs for extra comfortability.

              “she loves you,” jaehwan said, resisting the urge to said that he too, loved her. it wasn’t the right time for that. he always convinced himself that there was never a time for that. he couldn’t believe that it had been months since he had kyungri over at his place, in his room and this close. his grip on the pillow tightened, resisting the urge to initiate some form of skinship towards her. he was afraid that once he got to that point, he won’t be able to control himself. so he just kept a fair distance between them. but then his breath catches in his throat, but not before he could inhale her scent due to their close proximity. he buried his face further against his pillow, grip tightening.

             “thanks,” he said, leaning back away from the pillow so that his voice isn’t muffled. “she did. but yoyo borrowed it and accidentally...ruined it...by sitting on it...” he groaned and tried to mask the laugh that was about to spill from his lips. he stopped when he feels a nudge, lowering the pillow only a little so that he could see her. her eyes had so many questions in them and he knew what they would ask him. but still, he didn’t get ahead of her. some sick part of him liked the careful questions, the nervousness in her voice and how she always used her best friend rights to know everything.

               and the questions came in waves. he wished she could see how his eyes softened, warmth in them reflecting the true feelings he hid in his heart throughout the years, the way his lips parted in awe at her beauty and how his fingers tingled, wanting to caress her cheek. the corner of his lips curl slightly, seeing her pout. ah...you don’t need to act cute like that... “yeah, you are my best friend. and well...” you’re a good liar. you can do this. “i have a crush...o-on this guy for a while now... but he’s straight. so i can’t make a move on him. plus, he’s someone you know. so well...” he just laughed, feeling pathetic once more. “there really isn’t anything else that i can update you with.”

                 allowing himself this much, he reached out and pushed her hair away from his face, the tips of his fingers coming in contact with her cheek. it was so soft, his hand stilled for far too long. “yah, what moisturizer do you use? your skin feels smoother.”

     she won’t deny the fact that the invitation coming from lee jaehwan, someone who had always seemed somewhat intimidated by her, is surprising. it catches her off guard, if she’s being completely honest. she simply hadn’t expected the author to have the guts to approach her at all. 

     it’s obvious, however, what this is for. one would have to be blind (or kyungri, apparently) to not notice the painstakingly obvious crush that jaehwan nurses for the model. it’s been like this for far too long, and it’s all hyuna can do not to grab her best friend and shake her, demanding to know how someone so blatantly in love with her could possibly be gay. but she thinks that kyungri has been around too many people falling ‘in love’ with her to even consider the possibility anymore, at least until proven otherwise. 

     desensitized, she decides. when the little mini pulls up outside of pikaboo, she locks up the building, exiting and heading for the waiting vehicle. opening the passenger door, she slides into the seat, closing the door and arching a delicate eyebrow in his direction. “hello, jaehwan.”

[jyjaehwan]

        once jaehwan could see hyuna step outside of her cafe, he immediately froze. was he supposed to step out of his car, open the door for her? it would be the polite way but that would also be weird. since they weren’t even really that friendly. and he hasn’t done it for someone other than his mother. while contemplating whether or not he should open the door for her, hyuna was already inside his car.

        shoot.

        “h-hey,” he greeted her, releasing the break and driving towards their destination. he was actually meaning to ask hyuna this since yesterday but he spent the entirety of that day contemplating his life decisions. and when he finally had the courage to, he asked her to help him with something very important. probably one of the most nerve wracking thing he would ever do in all of his life: ask his first love to go out with him. now, this would totally make every effort he put in making himself appear gay go to waste. but it would also finally put a stop to it.

        “you both aren’t getting younger. if kyungri finds a man and marries, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life,” his mother said one night as they were drinking together. and let it be known that ever since that night, lee jaehwan has been afraid.

        “so...” jaehwan began, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. “i have a favor to ask of you. you see...i-- i’m not actually gay.” why was telling the truth harder than lying? he felt as if he just took back his coming out story and erased it from his tumblr. as if that would help. “all this time...it was just an act. and i’m finally ready to face the truth. that i love my -- and your -- best friend and i’ve loved her ever since i was a scrawny and sickly boy who didn’t know what love was.”

he smiled as he watches the batches of messages get sent, stretching a bit where he was sitting which was his desk chair. his mother made too much galbitang for the both of them and wanted to give some to her cousin. despite the both of them having their respective fields, jaehwan and tia were ultimately very close. had it not been for their contrasting looks, they could have been mistaken as siblings. which made jaehwan smile always. seeing his little sister figure was always a comfort since he grew up with no siblings.

“mom! i might pick up tia at the station, okay?” he shouted.

his mother’s shout could be heard from a mile away. “okay! remember to clean your room!”

shaking his head, he leaned back against his chair, playing games until the younger responded.

Happiest birthday to my boyfriend!

There are not enough words that even I, an author, can describe how important you are to me. You’ve been a constant source of strength and support through the hardest times in my life. It makes me eternally grateful that someone as wonderful as me and you would make such a great team. Fate, destiny and sheer luck brought us together yet the reason we stayed strong was because of our mutual understanding and L O V E for one another. I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my life. You are everything I could ever ask for and I hope we are #blessedt with more years to come!

Let’s have a little date later, okay, jagiya?  ♡

     the door slams open after a moment and she jumps, though when it’s just his mother she can’t help but smile. she really did adore the older woman. “auntie ~” she laughs softly, eyeing the giant pile of snacks the older woman had brought into the room, and while she had wanted to spend more time alone with jaehwan, she wasn’t going to complain about this either. “i have a fashion shoot next week! are you trying to fatten me up?” she asks, laughing. 

     it’s easy and natural to fall into conversation with jaehwan’s mom, having known each other since she was much, much younger and when jaehwan wasn’t the bouncy person he was nowadays. her father being a pediatrician had helped her meet a lot of kids and she’s very happy to say that she’s still friends with a lot of them today. she talks about hyuna and how pikaboo seems to be doing a lot of good for her other best friend and how she’s been travelling less because of her commitment to her cafe but she ends up gushing about france anyway. her conversation with jaehwan could wait a bit, right?

[jyjaehwan]

jaehwan hated when she called him like that. it made his heart skip a beat and he’s suddenly back to being thirteen when he first realized that park kyungri was more than his doctor’s daughter and a friend. how can she be so effortlessly beautiful and cute and... ahh he closed his eyes. he listened though, maintaining a smiling facade despite his nervousness. distance did make the heart grow fonder. “yah, how can i miss that? i mean, i would have followed you anywhere but my ass is tied down here.” he smiled broadly. “of course i’ll come.” 

he laughed at her obvious nervousness, wanting to reach out and pat her silky hair gently. boy the temptations are strong. he wanted to ask himself how he can restrain himself. the will of a god, he always told himself. he watched the two women converse, pretending to play with his phone though he was actually just looking at kyungri. and he was wearing that expression again that told everyone else but her how much he loved her. his mother was too immersed in their conversation but kept giving glances at her. he drank his latte already because they were talking so much.

smiling, he stood up from where he was sitting and sat on the floor beside his mother. “yah, don’t you have other things to do? you said you were going to cook for our neighbor who’s getting married,” he said, grabbing a handful of chips and shoving two pieces at a time inside his mouth. his mother gulped down some water and looked surprised. “ah right,” she said, turning to look at him. “my jaehwannie is so reliable sometimes.” he resisted the urge to roll his eyes and watched her take out the empty packets. then he looked up at kyungri and smiled. “are you sure you’re not my mother’s real child? she asks more about your life than mine.”

he rose up and plopped on his bed flat on his stomach. “i don’t think i’ll need to ask about what you were doing since i heard it all.” he stretched a bit on his bed, hitting his headboard. feeling comfortable, he closed his eyes and hugged a pillow. “by the way, duchess is demanding for a new hairbrush. i’m not sure what to buy so maybe you can help me?” duchess was his ninetails whose mane he enjoyed brushing whenever he was stressed. she was also very fond of kyungri. honestly, she was fond of anyone who looked attractive. 

everyone was fond of kyungri in this house. even yoyo who was very shy towards women. it made things harder for him. especially since he always thinks that this gay facade is nothing but a big mistake. of course, he was too stubborn to actually admit that.

[jyhongbin-blog]

— no homo,

bro — w. @jyjaehwan 

     there’s something to say when it comes to his friendship with jaehwan. the older male always seems to be joking – or, he thinks he is. he’s honestly unsure this time though, staring at the author like he was crazy. 

     (he probably is.) 

     “you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?” he repeats incredulously and he makes a soft sound as she shakes his head after a moment, his eyes wide as he stares at his friend. “kyungri nuna knows that i don’t like you in that way though …” he huffs, antheia squeaking in his lap and he glances down at the little petilil who doesn’t seem to be as distressed as he feels right now. 

     “i might still be considering if i like guys but that doesn’t mean i want to pretend to be your fake boyfriend hyung!”

[jyjaehwan]

honestly if his friend circle was a bit bigger and there were more people who knew about this stupid plan of his... maybe he wouldn’t ask hongbin. but he had faith in his friend and their friendship. he knew that his proposal was crazy and out of the box. but he had no choice. he was desperate and he couldn’t hold it in anymore. if more time passed, he felt as if his feelings would burst.

“well yes. that’s what i said. loud and clear,” he said for the umpteenth time. he could see the younger’s disbelief and honestly, he was trying to joke about it to make him feel less like an idiot. “well...feelings change and so do people!” he grinned and patted hongbin firmly on the shoulder. “don’t worry about it! i’m pretty sure she’ll feel better knowing that it’s someone she knows rather than a random dude.”

jaehwan let out a frustrated chorus of groans and ruffled his hair. “yah, i have pride too, okay? i didn’t want to ask you but i’m really, really desperate.” jaehwan clasped his hands together and closed his eyes firmly. “please, hongbin ah. it’s my last favor. i owe you my life and i’ll grant you anything you want. just help me or i’m really going to confess to her!” yoyo mimicked his actions beside him earnestly and he thanked his snorlax silently for helping him.

“help a gay out.”

that was what sparked this impromptu meeting with one of kyungri’s longtime friends and the 1/3 of their little circle. jaehwan wasn’t as close to hyuna as she was to kyungri. mainly because he was still the shy little boy who felt nervous around pretty girls no matter how many years passed. plus, hyuna was a bit intimidating, if he were to be honest. but once he moved past those excuses, he knew he should have approached her first. smiling a little after he sent the message, he tried to dress decently. this person was important to kyungri and this was their official solo hang out. he needed to make a good impression.

what he actually wanted to do was to ask her for advice. and perhaps to let another soul know what was obvious. it was mostly for advice. and to know a few things before he actually thought of something remotely close to confessing. maybe hyuna will also have the judgement to confirm his long withstanding belief that he will never be good enough for kyungri. of course, it’s also because he wanted to get to know hyuna better. at least, if he felt shitty after, he’d come out of this whole thing with a friend.

he agreed to pick her up at pikaboo, and with a silly excuse to his mother, he hopped inside his mini (a car he bought when his book became a bestseller), and drove to the familiar establishment.

     “your mom is so funny,” she comments after a moment, flopping backwards onto his mattress, her coffee forgotten on the side. it was only around jaehwan (and hyuna) that she could really be herself and she wasn’t planning on making that weird by confessing or anything. she couldn’t. 

     the feelings had been a long time coming, creeping up on her without much notice as all before they were looming in on her on all sides and she was cornered. she hadn’t even realized when she started gravitating towards him, or thinking about him during her off time, or just wanting to see him in general. she had written it off ages ago, thinking it was just how people felt around their best friends. (hyuna was also her best friend, but considering she saw the older girl almost everyday, there wasn’t the same sense of longing. or so she convinced herself.) 

     “mm,” she hums softly, shrugging as she rolls over to rest her chin on her hand. “not really? married to my job and all that,” she points out, laughing softly and she flops back onto the bed, rolling onto her back and letting out a long sigh. “if i find anyone worthy of my best friend, i’ll be sure to let you know.”

[jyjaehwan]

“yeah, she could own her own comedy show. bet dad’ll be on the front seat,” he answered mischievously. he was extremely fond of his mother and she was a source of happiness for him, one of the reasons why he hadn’t given up. while their relationship was almost comical and she often beat him up -- verbally or otherwise -- her love for him, like all motherly love, was unconditional. hence why she always (albeit reluctantly) helped him through his stupid ideas. 

he honestly could have thought of a better question. he had realized this after he asked it, his throat constricting and his hands busying themselves so that he wouldn’t be obvious. oh boy. everyone in suwon who knew them knew that lee jaehwan had been in love with park kyungri ever since they met. at first he thought it was because she was the first pretty girl to befriend him. but knowing other people and living through the years knowing her, he knew it was for another reason entirely. so it was safe to say that he wasn’t really ready for kyungri to say “yes” to his question. or tell him about this amazing guy that she met while modeling overseas that he could never compete with.

it was with great relief that she answered that. though he felt a bit conflicted. it would only mean that he had to put up with his little show for a long time. really, why was he such a wuss? why couldnt he just step out of their little comfort zone and tell her? perhaps they won’t be like the other best friends who drifted apart because the other couldn’t reciprocate the other’s feelings. ah...but jaehwan had too much to lose and he couldn’t handle it.

“if he has a nice ass, then what else matters?” he asked, laughing. he kept his distance, sitting by his study table with stacks of papers and reference books for his newest work. sure she wasn’t looking, he took his time to take the entirety of her in, his features soft and eyes tender. it was almost a pain to revert back to his normal self during these moments. he was about to say something when his mom burst inside the room.

giving her a meaningful look before looking away as he saw the amount of snacks she was carrying in a tray, he sighed. “mom, couldn’t you knock at least?” he asked, watching as she set up his foldable table to put the tray on top. “why do i have to knock in my own house? it’s not like you and kyungri will be doing anything i haven’t seen before.” she answered with as much sass a fifty year old woman can muster. and that would be a lot. his eyes widened visibly but he didn’t comment any further, afraid to be roasted under her scrutinizing gaze. “kyungri, tell me everything about your travels. how is hyuna and pikaboo?” of course his mother would sit down beside kyungri and hoard her to herself. sometimes jaehwan wished they weren’t as close.

“can’t you ask her later?” jaehwan asked with a frown. “we haven’t--” 

“shut your pipe, lee jaehwan.” 

well. so much for a one on one.

     the moment the door opens, she’s unprepared for his mother tugging her inside and her eyes widen just slightly. it had been a long while since the last time she had been over to jaehwan’s place and she had forgotten how much his mother seemed to adore her and she spends the next couple minutes fending off pinches to her cheeks and whatnot, telling his mother that she had missed her too. 

     she can’t help but laugh at his comment, considering just how him it was. who cared about being considerate of her feelings when she literally went to him for advice half the time. that was what gay best friends were for, right? right. for some reason, her chest tightened at that thought an she as quick to brush it away. jaehwan had been her best friend for a long, long time and there was nothing between them besides mutual camaraderie. 

     “please,” kyungri laughs, reaching out to slap him on the shoulder as well. god, she had missed this so much. just laughing and hanging out with him, being carefree like they had been when they were younger. “i have a lingerie shoot next week, i can’t afford to be fat.”

     holding out the tray with the two coffee cups, she smiles a bit, offering him the iced latte as she pulls her own drink out of the tray to let him take his own. “sorry auntie, i didn’t know you were home or i would’ve gotten you one too,” she apologizes to his mother, quiet and she bows her head slightly to show how sorry she was. 

     she realizes much too late that she hadn’t planned out what she was planning to do once she got to jaehwan’s house. she had the impromptu visit and stuff in mind but she hadn’t exactly worked out what came after that. 

     “let’s go to your room?” she asks after a quick run through of possible things she could suggest. “or we could go on a walk? it’s been a long time since the last time we caught up with each other!”

“please, jaehwan, you’re hurting my feelings!” he shouted, rubbing the place he was hit out of pure habit. he tried to stop it but failed. his grin was already making his cheeks hurt. kyungri looked even more beautiful (if that was humanly possible. which he honestly didn’t think but hey, here he was trying to deal with reality) than the last time he saw her. she didn’t gain weight. and even if she did, he knew she would still be beautiful in his eyes.

“oooh!” he cooed, both at the coffee and his (mock) excitement at the lingerie shoot. honestly, his stomach started forming knots at the thought of her exposing so much skin. “do you think they’ll give you some for free? i’ll tell you my size so you can snag me some.” he winked flirtatiously, and in the corner of his eye saw his mother gag. he had already briefed her about everything ever since he first decided to play the role of the gay bff. her response was a very disappointed, ‘wow. i thought i would feel guilt thinking i raised you to be stupid. but maybe you’re naturally stupid.’ and he agreed.

taking the iced latte from her, their fingers brushing and tingles running down his body due to the short contact, he smiled and silently thanked her. jaehwan’s mother assured kyungri that it was fine, she didn’t like coffee that much anyways. jaehwan bit back a comment and almost choked in the middle of drinking his latte at her question.

well.

“s-sure!” he answered hastily, already walking towards his room. he had forgotten that there was an ‘or’ option due to his nervousness. his mother raised her brows when he glanced at her briefly and made a motion indicating that he should open his dresser drawer. oh. my. god.

“i’ll be out to buy some groceries!” she announced, happily from downstairs. did his mom really think that he and kyungri were going to do something like that? he was gay! not really, but he was acting like one. he opened his room’s door and left it open, sitting down far away from the bed and on his computer chair. “so other than work and pikaboo, is there anything else going on in your life? have you even dated while i was gone? or do you have anyone to sell to your lovely best friend?”
