‘When I am older I am going to marry you.’
You shook your head. 'No, I don’t want to marry you.’
The eyes of the boy in front of you widened, a 'why’ escaping his mouth.
'Because you don’t mean it.’
'I do mean it!’ He started yelling.
'No you don’t!’ You yelled back.
And with that, the 5-year-old Youngmin awkwardly pressed his lips against yours.
You smiled as you intertwined your pinky with his.
'Oh come on Y/n, you’re seriously wasting all your time on that guy. Don’t you realize he is no good? You’ve seen it with your own eyes. Break it off.' Youngmin sighed as he rested his head on his hands. You just bit your lip, trying to hold your tears back. It had been the fifth time in a month that your boyfriend rejected any of your suggestions to go out together, saying 'he was busy’ or something. You just let it slide, wanting to believe him.
That was until you went out to the mall today together with Youngmin, your best friend of 14 years. The two of you met in kindergarten and Youngmin never was a violent person, but today he swore he could punch your (soon to be ex-)boyfriend right in his filthy face when he saw him sucking another girl’s face off.
Youngmin had quickly grabbed your shoulders, leading you the opposite way while screaming something along the lines of 'Oh would you look at that I am craving ice cream let’s go!’. You didn’t fall for his bad acting as you turned around, only to lock eyes with the jerk. Before you could snap, Youngmin dragged you out of the mall.
'Listen if you’re not gonna do it I will.’ Youngmin huffed as he grabbed your phone out of your hands, dialling your boyfriend’s number. 'Hello? Y/n? I’m sorry for what happened today it’s not what it se-’ 'From now on I think it’s better if you leave Y/n alone, it’s not like you actually love or even care about them, have a nice day.' Youngmin ended the phone call, throwing your phone on the couch.
'Come here.’ Youngmin patted next to him on his bed. You sobbed as you nuzzled into his warmth. 'Go ahead and cry, I’m here for you. You know that right?’ Youngmin stroked your hair. The small yet genuine gestures immediately calmed you. It had always been like this. Whenever you felt sad, stressed, scared or alone Youngmin would always be there to comfort you. Something about the way he’d let you nuzzle up against him and stroke your hair made you forget about all your worries.
A few days later you were greeted by an enthusiastic Youngmin running towards you. 'Y/n! Y/n I am going on a blind date tonight! Remember how you always nagged me on how I should start dating? Maybe I will get a girlfriend soon!’ He cheered as he jumped up and down. You quickly congratulated him and shot him a smile, however deep inside you felt like crying, you honestly had no idea why, it’s not like you had feelings for him, right?
'Hey earth to Y/n?’ Youngmin waved his hand in front of your face. You must’ve blanked out or something, much to Youngmin’s dismay as he dragged you to the small cafe you two always went nearby. 'So you’re coming with me after school ends right? You told me you needed help with mathematics and I need you to help me get ready for my date’ You could only stare at your cup of coffee, slowly dragging the small straw, the flowing movements allowing you to get away from your thoughts for a second.
'Do I look good?’ Youngmin sat down next to you. You reached forward, fixing his soft bangs a little bit. 'Yes, you do.'
All the times you have said he was good looking or handsome before you two were just joking around, however this time, you meant it. The way his bangs would fall in front of his eyes, the way his eyes sparkled and the way he always greeted you with his warm smile, immediately making you feel happy. But it would all be gone when he came back with a girlfriend, wouldn’t it.
As soon as it was 7PM Youngmin hurriedly ran to the door as he quickly said goodbye to you. You let yourself fall down on his couch, sighing as you looked at the pile of mathematics homework. Normally Youngmin always helped you a lot, but today he seemed to be way too distracted with his blind date.
7:30PM. You had draped yourself over the couch, totally given up on the homework, looking at a program you didn’t even want to look at. Then you heard the front door open. 'You’re home quick… shouldn’t you be with your date now?’ Youngmin let out a quiet laugh as he removed his jacket.
'Dear Y/n.’ He walked over to you as he cupped your cheeks. 'Stop. Making. Me. Worry. About. You. So. Damn. Much.’ Your eyes widened, did he find out? Did you act too strange? 'If you didn’t want me to go on that date you could’ve just told me, you aren’t really good at hiding your feelings either. You should’ve seen the sulky expression on your face today.’ You felt your cheeks turn bright red. Shit. Great.
'I’m so sorry Youngmin, I know I shouldn’t fall for my best friend and it’s probably just because I’m in a kind of sad mood right now and I really didn’t want to let your first blind date get ruined like this and I totally understand it if you-’ You almost stumbled over your words as you felt your eyes water, no you shouldn’t cry now. 'Go ahead and cry.’ Youngmin repeated the words that have always made you feel at ease, made you believe it was okay to cry, because it was. But you bit your lip and shook your head, not wanting to cry in front of him now. Youngmin sighed as he made you stand up and pulled you against his chest.
'Cry. It’s okay. I’m here for you. Did you forget about that?’ You shook your head as you heavily sobbed against his chest, leaving tearstains on his white shirt. Once you had calmed down Youngmin stepped back, putting your hair behind your ear with a loving gaze.
'I didn’t expect you’d like me though. Having these feelings for you at that time, didn’t feel right to me. I wanted to give you some time and space so I decided it was time to try new things out. But if you are feeling the same way..'
Youngmin seemed to black out for a moment, but he took a step forward and pressed his lips on yours in one swift motion.
'You know, I’m still going to marry you.’ Youngmin said happily as he looked up at the night sky. The two of you lied down on the grass, stargazing. You just smiled contently, intertwining your fingers with his.
