over the next few weeks, hyein continued to show affection towards y/n. she would often brush her hand against y/n's, or lean in close to whisper something in her ear.
y/n couldn't help but feel giddy every time hyein touched her. she had never been the object of someone's affection before, and it was a new and exciting feeling.
but as time went on, y/n couldn't help but feel a bit confused about hyein's intentions. she was always teasing and flirting with y/n, but she never actually asked her out.
y/n started to feel a bit frustrated. she didn't know if hyein was just playing games with her, or if she actually had feelings for her.
one day, y/n found herself spending more time with haerin, the girl who worked at the coffee shop. they had been chatting for a while, and y/n found herself opening up to haerin in a way that she never had with anyone before.
as they chatted, y/n noticed that hyein was watching them from across the room, looking almost jealous.
y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at hyein's reaction. maybe now she would finally ask her out.
sure enough, later that day, hyein approached y/n with a determined look on her face.
"hey, y/n, can we talk?" hyein asked.
y/n felt a sense of excitement wash over her. finally, hyein was goingto ask her out.
"yeah, of course," y/n said, trying to hide her excitement.
hyein took a deep breath. "i know i've been teasing you a lot lately, and i'm sorry if it's been confusing. the truth is, i really like you, y/n. i have for a while now, but i didn't know how to tell you."
y/n felt her heart skip a beat at hyein's words. "i like you too, hyein," she said, smiling.
hyein grinned, looking almost relieved. "really? i was afraid you didn't feel the same way."
y/n chuckled. "did i have to make you jealous for you to ask me out?"
hyein blushed, looking a bit embarrassed. "maybe. but i'm glad i finally worked up the courage to ask you."
y/n smiled, feeling a sense of happiness wash over her. she was excited to see where this new relationship with hyein would take her.
as they walked out of the classroom hand in hand, y/n couldn't help but feel grateful for haerin, who had unknowingly helped y/n realize her own feelings for hyein.
