Chapter 2
Kim Hajun's POV:
I blushed as I went inside. Minjun ran in to go tell everyone about what he saw. My heart beat fast as I replayed the moments in my head. 'Buttercup', he called me 'buttercup'. And that was enough for me. I found my heart fluttering as I looked at the picture me and Minho had taken. It was a bit recent, we were in a group project, and he was looking at me while I took the picture. I blushed at the butterflies in my stomach as I hugged my pillow. I'm so lovesick.
"Hajunaaaa!", yelled my mom a few hours later, as I went to the living room to see my little sister, Haeun, crying at the table. "Appa is a bit busy, so can you go to the market and get some cookies? We ran out of snacks".
"Sure, eomma. I'll be right back", I said, as I grabbed my phone, a loose hoodie, and some cash.
I entered the store a few minutes later, as I went to the snack aisle. I saw a familiar hoodie in the medical department as I tiptoed behind them. I tapped his other shoulder as he looked the other way and then at me. "Hajun", muttered Minho, as a smile made its way to my face. "Here for another kiss?". My cheeks turned red as I looked away. "I'm kidding but I wouldn't mind giving you one".
"Minho hyung", I groaned, as he smiled sweetly. "Opening up to me, huh?".
"Yeah", he said confidently. "You're fun and I like you". He left to go to the register as my face turned red. I stiffly ordered the cookies and waited next to Minho as we passed glances at each other.
We exited the store, as I noticed Minho had bought something. "What did you buy?", I asked curiously.
"Nothing", he simply said.
"Are those....painkillers?", I asked.
"My grandma...said she needed them", he said, as he looked at the bag.
"Well, I hope she becomes better", I said, as I offered him a small smile. He smiled lightly as I walked to my house.
The next day, I went to school wanting to see Minho. My heart raced as I was nervous but I wanted to see him. I bumped into Tae who had a smirk on his face. "Looking for Minho?", he teased.
"You wish", I muttered, as my face went red.
"It's okay, but are you planning on telling him about your feelings?", asked Tae.
"What?! No! Never!", I said, as I tried to cover my face.
"Really? I think he feels the same way", said Tae as I paused.
"Are you sure?", I asked hopefully.
"You like him, don't you?", asked Tae.
"No! I was just wondering!", I said, as I awkwardly looked around.
"Hey guys", said Jeongin, as he pulled Tae closer and Hyunjin and Felix were behind him.
"Is Minho here?", I asked.
"I don't know, he may be sick", said Tae.
"Sick?!", I gasped, as Jihoon laughed at my reaction. "What? He could be hurt".
"Who could be hurt?", asked a voice, as I turned around and saw Minho.
"Hajun hyung was talking about how he thought you were h-", began Wan before I covered his mouth.
"Nothing", I quickly said, as Minho brushed it off. I watched as Minho walked over to Chan as the two of them began whispering something. I found my heart racing as Minho was close to Chan. I felt upset that Minho was too close to Chan. I blushed as I knew I was feeling jealous. Even though Chan was dating Jihoon and like an older brother to Minho, I felt upset. I shook it off as Minho appeared beside me.
"Want to walk to class?", he asked quietly.
"Y-yeah", I blushed, as we went to our class. The walk was silent. It wasn't awkward necessarily but it was peaceful. We were taking a different route as Minho led it. I didn't say anything...well because I trusted him.
We sat down in class as the teacher began teaching. I noticed Minho was nervous as he picked at his skin. He would shake his leg or he would look at the clock. "Can I use the bathroom?", he muttered, as he raised his hand. The teacher gave him a knowing look as Minho jumped out of his seat. Minho didn't return even when the bell rang. I went for break but the other kids were faster. They blocked the door as they all slowly filed out. I went to approach my locker and as I opened it, some confetti fell on me. I looked in confusion as I noticed balloons and streamers. I saw everyone look at me as my friend's group approached. I saw Minho come forward. His cheeks were red and his face was flushed as some students pulled out their phone to record. I was confused as he took a step closer to me.
"Hajun", he whispered, as I noticed there was an earpiece in his ear. I gulped as he looked me in the eyes. His eyes were shaking and he pulled his hands out from his back as he held a rose. I noticed his hands trembling as he held the rose the wrong way. I flipped it over as he smiled and everyone laughed. "This is for you", he muttered. I blushed as I took the rose and closed my locker. "I wanted to let you know that I..like you. I wondered if you felt the same way". His hands went to his neck as he shyly looked at me. My heart raced as I stared into his eyes. Butterflies invaded my stomach as the cold boy I've ever known confessed to me. Dating him would be a dream come true but it has its expense. Minho's very handsome meaning that people would hate me if he got together with someone. Do I really like him? Or is it just because he's becoming more social? "It's okay if you don't feel the same way, Hajun ah. I just wanted you to know".
"I'm not sure", I whispered, as he looked at me. "I'm not sure how I feel. Whatever it is, I don't want to mistake it for feelings and hurt you. You're one of my best friends, and I can't get myself to hurt you".
"Now you make me fall in love with you even more", he muttered as everyone teased us. I watched him look at me as his earpiece blinked green.
"Hyung", I said, as my face was bright red. My friends looked at me from the side as they offered us teasing glances.
"Let me court you", he blurted as the room went silent. Everyone began cheering as my face went red. "Let me court you and show you how much I really like you. What do you say, buttercup?".
"I....a month", I muttered, as I looked away. Everyone continued the cheering as I just wanted to hide.
"Hajun ah, I got what I want. It's just that you need to come get yours", he whispered huskily, as I melted to his voice.
"Hyung", I blushed, as his hands went to my back. He pulled me closer as I buried my face in his chest.
"I like you a lot, and I mean every word of it", he whispered, as I wrapped my hands around him. Everyone cheered as they soon had to go to class.
"Mhmm, so someone also has a relationship", teased Felix, as we ate some victory brownies.
"We're not dating", I blushed.
"Yet", said Minho.
"Wow look at you getting Minho hyung out of his shell", said Han.
"Hajun does somethings which no one else can do", said Minho.
"This next month will be fun", smiled Wan, as I hid in his shoulder.
