A/N:Hi guys! I'm back :) School still hasn't given me a break yet (I've got two essays to be written sigh) but I've been a lot happier nowadays.
I hope things are going well for you all too, and if not, hang in there. "Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving... you will come to a better place." - Uncle Iroh, ATLA (I just rewatched the entire series and adjjafjkahfl feels)
Anyways, thank you so much for 700 reads! I still can't believe I even got to this point 😭. Since some of you commented, I decided to make a part two to this imagine :) I hope you enjoy!xx

You and Jaemin were eating at a restaurant downtown, sitting at a table outside in the sun. The view was beautiful and the food was great, but you couldn't help but feel distracted. You were fiddling with the straw of your drink when Jaemin finally decided to ask you.
"What's on your mind, y/n?" Jaemin asked, leaning over the table.

"Hmm?" you instantly let your hold on the straw go. "What do you mean?"
Jaemin's lips pulled into a smile as he looked at you. "I know you well enough to know when your mind is busy. And right now, you seem to be preoccupied in the middle of our date."
He reached and took hold of your hand. "What's up? Talk to me."
Immediately you felt horrible. Here you were, on your first date with Jaemin after such a long time and you were already spoiling the mood with your insecurities. "Sorry," you sighed, biting your lip. "It's just...."
"Renjun. I don't think he likes me yet."
Jaemin's eyes softened at your confession. His thumb began to caress the back of your hand in a comforting manner, which was effective in your opinion. "You don't have to worry about Renjun. He's just being protective," he said.
You couldn't help but sigh. "It bothers me that someone so close to you doesn't approve of me. I want him to be my friend, too."
"You don't need his approval, or anyone's for that matter. But if it really bothers you, I'm sure he'll come around soon," Jaemin reassured. "He just needs to get used to you."
You gave Jaemin an appreciative smile before changing the topic. You didn't want to spend your entire date whining about yourself.
The rest of the day was perfect, ending off with Jaemin walking you to your front door. You stood in front of each other for a few minutes since neither of you wanted to part ways just yet. His fingers were laced with yours, spreading his warmth to you. That small contact was enough to distract you from what he was saying.
"The boys and I have practice tomorrow," Jaemin mentioned at one point, still holding your hand.
"Oh?" Your eyes fluttered to his when you finally registered what he said. "Until when?"
