Troublemaker - Kang Daniel

7 - Text

A/N: The name in bold (e.g. Me:) indicating text messages.

"Aren't you gonna move?" Daniel asked suddenly.

I quickly got up after I regained my senses.

"Aw, my back. Jeez, you're so heavy. Help me," he asked then I pulled him up.

"Could you please just sit there, so I can clean the room?" I asked as I pointed the farthest chair from me, and he nodded.

Silent moment.

"Oh, why is it so quiet? What if he heard my heart that's beating so fast? God, what should I do? Aaargh!" I screamed in my mind. Then somehow I finished cleaning up the mess in a flash.

"Huff! I'm done!" I said, then he got up from the chair and approached me.

"Come on. I'll take you home," he said as he grabbed my hand.

"WHAT?" I panicked in my mind. "You don't have to. I live nearby, I can just walk by myself," I said.

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Do you prefer me dragging you, like what Jihoon and Woojin did?" he asked as he looked at me.

When I saw his eyes, I knew it wasn't a question. It was a command, so I gave in.

Minhyunieee~:
Hey. Did you arrive home safely?

Me:
Yes. Hbu?

Minhyunieee~:
Thank God. I wanted to wait for you and take you home, but the guys dragged me to the arcade. I couldn't escape, you know the Goofballs 😭

Me:
Awww. It's okay, Daniel took me home. I hope they didn't drag you like they dragged me 😂

Minhyunieee~:
Daniel did? I see. By the way, do you wanna go to see a movie tomorrow?

Oh.God.Did.He.Just.Ask.Me.Out????

"Whoaaa! What should I do? Oh, my heart is beating so fast," I said while rolling around my bed then kicking my feet as if I was doing a front crawl swim.

Then I heard another text notification. I was excited to open it, until I saw it's from Daniel, not Minhyun.

Kang Pote 🤓:
My back is still aching because of you. How much do you weigh?

Me:
At least lighter than your big fat ass 🍑

Kang Pote 🤓:
OMG. I didn't know that you're checking out my ass 😱. I'd file a restraining order for you.

Me:
Just go to sleep. You're delirious 😴

Kang Pote 🤓:
Who's fault is it that I got a punishment to clean the classroom for a week and ended up hurting my back?

"Aaargh! Right! The punishment! Minhyunieee, what should I do?" I wondered.

Me:
Yeah, about that, could you cover up for me tomorrow? I have something to do. Please 🙏🏻

Kang Pote 🤓:
What thing?

Me:
None of your business

Kang Pote 🤓:
Exactly. Bye 👋🏻

Me:
Wait, Minhyun asked me to go to see a movie with him ☺️. So could you cover me up, pretty please? 😣

Kang Pote 🤓:
Ewww. What's with the blushing emoticon. Is this the first time someone asked you out?

Me:
So, do you wanna help me or not? 🙄

Kang Pote 🤓:
Only if you promise you'll do whatever I say

"Hmmm. He wouldn't ask for anything weird,  would he? Anyway, what's more important is I'll get to go out with Minhyun. Yippee ki-yay!" I said excited.

Me:
I promise. Thanks Kang Pote 🤓

Then there's another text notification. "Shit, I forgot to reply to Minhyun," I panicked.

Kang Pote 🤓:
I don't look like that. Is that how you saved my number?

Me:
Yes you do 🤭. Gotta go 👋🏻. Good night 😴.

Kang Pote 🤓:
What an ungrateful fella. Sleep tight.

Minhyunieee~:
(y/n)?

Me:
Sorryyy. Went to take care of something

Minhyunieee~:
Fiuh. I thought I scared you off. I didn't, did I?

Me:
Nooo, you didn't. I was just asking Daniel to cover up for me tomorrow

Minhyunieee~:
So?

Me:
He said yes! So we can go to see a movie.

Minhyunieee~:
He did?

Me:
Yeah. Why? Is there a problem?

Minhyunieee~:
No. Nothing. Anyway I'll see you tomorrow at school. And I can't wait for our date 😊. Sleep tight 😴

"He said it! It's a date. Yeaaayyy!" I said as I did whatever it was. I wasn't sure what, because I was beyond excited.

Me:
Me too ☺️. Have a nice dream.

Minhyunieee~:
I'll see you in my dream then 😉

He.Did.Not.Just.Say.That

I couldn't reply as my soul was leaving my body 😱. I didn't know he's such a flirt.

Minhyun Hyung:
Daniel. (y/n) said that you agreed to cover up for her tomorrow?

Daniel:
Hahaha. She told you already? Yes I did. Why?

"So they were talking too," Daniel wondered.

Minhyun Hyung:
Nothing. I was just wondering if you're okay with me asking her out

Daniel:
Hahaha. Why wouldn't I? Of course I'm okay, you silly. Have fun you two!

Minhyun Hyung:
Alright then. Thank you Daniel 😊. Good night

Daniel:
Good night

"I'm really okay, right?" Daniel asked to himself
