"Felix Felicis, also called "Liquid Luck", is a magical potion that makes the drinker lucky for a period of time, during which everything they attempt will be successful. It is meant to be used sparingly, however, as it causes giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence if taken in excess"
Doyoung reads to sicheng as they both witness their best friend looming closer to the devil. You.
"Do you think we'd ever see him again?" Sicheng whispers, unable to hide his worries for his friend.
Slamming the potions book shut, doyoung replies aggressively,
"Of course we would! She's not allowed to use any forbidden curses man but- but maybe he'd end up in the hospital wing."
"I hope not."
You are made aware of his approach before you could raise your head. Your friend amira elbows you while you are eating evening snacks. You catch jaehyun in her vision, the man walking towards you in very lazy steps.
"Here comes your silent lover y/n. Now he's going to stand on our food for 5 minutes with that hopeless lover look. Neither he's gonna utter something nor he's gonna let us eat." Amira says before standing up, "you know what. I'll fill my pockets and gobble somewhere else. Deal with his antics."
She makes a motion to leave but you were too fixed on the boy to give her any attention. From the rose in his hands, you could already sense something unusual on the way. You wondered if your fingers would be able to touch those petals before he runs away. Again.
The slight sway of his hips makes you a bit uneasy.
The smile he's wearing is the one you've never encountered before.
Not just the smile, the rolled up sleeves of his uniform and his white shirt bare of any sweater was making you dizzy. If a boy with his looks modelled for you, it was only fair that you falter.
Suddenly, he was way more noticeable than he had ever been!
"Y/n"
Before you know, his towering figure greets you and your gaze shifts to his arms, connecting to the hand secured in his pant pocket. His presence makes you gulp down some saliva in anticipation, something that has never happened in the past two years. But as he speaks, you immediately compose yourself.
"Jaehyun. Why are you here?" You question with the same authority that he was regularly subjected to by you.
Your craned neck aches from the stretch but it's all worthy when you notice his wide grin. He shakes his head to release the tension or this is what it seems to you, given the times he has almost peed his pants upon seeing you.
Extending his hand, he boops your nose with the rose and ends up laughing at himself as he pinches his nose with two fingers, shaking his head again. You could swear you heard some audible gasps as well, not from jaehyun because they were too distant. But something unknown was surely lurking around you.
When you don't respond, confused at his actions, he boops your nose again and the feathery touch elicits a sneeze from you.
"What the fuck is wrong with you jaehyun." You shouted, getting up at the same time. Rubbing at your nose, you continue,
"What do you want this time, lover boy?" You address him by a nickname that he doesn't adore so much. But you certainly do!
Instead of speaking, he draws out his wand and your eyes widens in horror due to the gravity of the situation.
"Ja-
"Flagrate" he recites and some firey letters float in front of your eyes. You read them but being unable to decipher it in one go, you spell each alphabet loudly while avoiding his shit eating grin as much as possible,
"B E M Y C H A R M I N G G I R L F R I E N D. Be my charming girlfriend?" You repeat.
"P L E A S E" he says, mimicking your way of reading. You merely scoff at his sudden change in demeanor.
"Do you want me to incendio you right away?"
"No. Just be my girlfriend. I'll be incendio on my own!"
You would be lying if you said he hasn't said the most romantic thing in the world. You were not soft, not for him at least, but something in the air was unexplainable and inevitable at the same time.
"Please. Please. Please.please."
Again, before you know, you let out a chuckle at his childish voice.
"What makes you think I'd say yes." You play along.
""I saw you in the mirror of erised y/n, holding hands with me." If it wasn't for his steady tone, you would have thought he was high on something. Maybe he was!
"Mirror of erised was removed years ago." You point out his lie.
"I saw it in my dream y/n"
"You are lying jaehyun."
"You love me though." His sensitive words catches you off guard, the confidence alluring and cheesy.
"I.do.not"
"You will though." Quaking your head and snatching the rose, you jest,
"Maybe i will but for that to happen, you should try without liquid luck, pretty boy."
His eyes zooms out in realisation as you walk past him, leaving a pouty jaehyun and his another confession behind you.
Closing his eyes in crescents, a goofy smile curves his lips. " Next time y/n. Next time."
And the never-ending saga continues.
