"Sick my face. You don't look sick at all.." Felix paused. "Tho, you look like a mess and nervous." Jeongin sighed heavily.
Felix rushed to his house immediately as soon as he sent him the message but Jeongin doesn't want to go so he came up with that excuse.
"Why are you like that?" Felix asked as he examined Jeongin's face. "Oh, wait! Are you still worried about your crush? Dang, it reall got you huh!"
Jeongin let his body fell on the sofa. He wanted to say something but he couldn't. "I'll pass this time. Tell them I'm really sick."
"Lovesick." Felix chuckled as he sat beside him. "Lurking here won't help you. You should go and hang out with us to forget about her."
"It will get worse." Jeongin mumbled to himself. "It's fine, hyung. I can handle myself."
Felix rolled his eyes. "Noona will get mad if she didn't see you there. You know the last thing I want to hear is her nagging voice. Damn, I can't handle that one."
Jeongin flinched. "Tell her that I'm really sick."
"Wow, you're lying. That's bad."
Jeongin glared at him. "What am I? A kid?"
"You are."
"I'm 18."
"And I'm 19."
"You're just a year older than me.
"And you're still a baby."
Jeongin groaned. "I don't wanna be a baby anymore."
"No, you will always be our baby. Let's go!"
Jeongin couldn't get a chance to resist when Felix already pulled him and dragged him out of his house to Seungmin's.
Damn. He's not yet ready to face her again.
"GOOD morning, everyone!" Felix shouted as soon as he stepped inside the Im's house.
"Shut up, Felix. You're ruining my morning." Nayeon, Seungmin's older sister, said while eating a slice of pizza.
Seungmin turned to look at Felix."Eyy! You really came! I'm about to finish these all off."
"You selfish jerk." Felix sat beside Seungmin and took a slice of pizza.
"Where's Jeongin?" Nayeon asked.
"Outside. He stepped on something, I think it's a pin or what." Felix answered
Jeongin cursed inside his head as he watched them having fun eating pizza. Good excuse again, Jeongin. But fuck, he can't go there. It's just her back that he can see yet he's already acting that way. He's so screwed. But what if he's wrong? What if what he felt yesterday is normal? Or what if he's just overthinking?
Jeongin pulled his hair in frustration. He's back at it again. He's getting crazy again. Fuck! This need to stop! There's only one thing he needs to do. He need to face her and if it still feel the same way he felt yesterday then he really do like her.
He took a deep breath and stood straightly as he prepared himself. He turned around but froze when he saw her standing there on her white v-neck shirt and a denim short with a slice of pizza on her hand.
"N-noona.." Oh, no, no, no. Calm the fuck down, boy. Stop your heart from beating faster.
"Is your foot, okay? Felix said you stepped on something."
"Y-yeah.. i-it's fine." he said as he wiggled his foot.
Nayeon gave him her bunny smile and ruffled his hair. "Let's go inside. I'm worried those two might really finish all the pizzas off." she grabbed his arm and pulled him inside.
Jeongin just let her and listened to his heartbeat. When will this stop? He's scared she might heard it.
"Hey pigs, slow down!" Nayeon yelled at those two as she sat in front of them, Jeongin then sat beside her.
"Me?? A pig?? I'm fit as fuck!" Felix defended himself.
"If I'm a pig then it's fine. You're a pig too." Seungmin said.
Nayeon glared at him. "How dare you disrespect me?!" she raised her voice. She grabbed a pillow and threw it to her brother.
"You're always like that, noona! You will diss me first and when I diss you back you always get mad!" Seungmin shouted back.
"And what's wrong with that?!"
"You're unfair!"
"You disrespectful, pig!"
"I like Jaebum hyung more than you!"
"WHAT?!—" just as Nayeon was about to really hit her brother with her fist, she stopped midair when her elbow hit Jeongin's forehead.
"Ah!" Jeongin cupped his forehead.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry!" Nayeon immediately wrapped her hands at the both side of his forehead as she checked on it. "Shit. I'm sorry. Did I hit it hard?"
"No, it's..." Jeongin lifted his head just to get greet by Nayeon's ethereal beauty. Damn. He just realized how beautiful she is especially when her face's closer to him. He couldn't help but to admire her beauty for seconds.
"Oh shit, he just lost his memories. Bro, do you know me?" Felix exaggeratedly asked him as he snapped his fingers.
"It's all your fault, noona!" Seungmin yelled.
"Shut the fuck up!" Nayeon yelled back. "Hey, are you really okay?" she tapped his cheek lightly.
"Uh, y-yeah... I'm sorry I think it really hit that hard." Fuck! He just fucking gawk at her! He just hopes she didn't notice it.
"Oh god, I'm sorry." Nayeon glared at Seungmin. "Blame this pig."
Seungmin just made a face.
"Come here," Nayeon pulled his head to rest on her shoulder. "Let me massage it."
His breathing hitched. Oh fuck, her shoulder and hand feels good. She feels good.
Jeongin tried to act normal as he listen to their conversation. He tried to focus on their conversation but his attention's more focused on her.
"Oh, I forgot. Why are you there on Yuna's birthday yesterday?" Felix asked Nayeon then took a malicious glimpse on Jeongin.
Jeongin just shook his head inwardly. Felix still thinks that he likes Yuna.
"I'm friends with her sister. How 'bout you guys? I never thought that Yuna befriended you all—" she looked at Jeongin. "Well, except to you, baby. You're kind so I didn't doubt that."
"She's our classmate." Jeongin said.
"But you're close to her, right?" Felix grinned.
"No, we're not that close."
Felix just chuckled.
"Oh, wait. I'll just get something." Nayeon stood up. "Jeongin, come with me."
"Okay." Jeongin nodded as he followed Nayeon upstairs.
"Here!" Nayeon pointed to the large box as they stepped inside her room. "It's not that huge but I don't think I can carry this alone. Wait, I'll just check this one." she opened the box as she checked something inside.
Jeongin then roamed his eyes inside her room and it's unbelievably clean. Usually when he goes inside her room, it's all messy. "Finally, I can call it a room."
He flinched when a pillow hit his body.
"I heard that!" Nayeon glared at him. "How dare you, huh?"
Jeongin couldn't help but to laugh a little. "Sorry, noona. It's just my first time to see your room like this... oddly nice."
Nayeon hit him again on his arm, this time, using her fist. Jeongin just laughed at how cute she is. She maybe older but she totally looks like a kid.
"I now forbid you to stop hanging out with Seungmin and Felix. They are bad influence to you." Nayeon snorted. "But seriously, I just realized that I'm not 20 anymore and that I should start fixing my life and get pretty. You know... I became conscious."
"But you're already pretty, noona." Oh shoot! He wasn't supposed to say that! Damn that clumsy tongue!
Nayeon chuckled at his reply as she ruffled his hair. "You'll be like me too when you reach that age." She gave him a smile before she turned her back at him and went to fix the box.
Jeongin smiled too as he listened to his own heartbeat. It's beating fast again. And it's been like that every time she's near. So, he must be really like her? Jeongin shook his head while still smiling.
It feels good now. It feels good to feel this way. To adore someone, to feel in love. Oh fuck.
"Okay, it's all perfect!" Nayeon lifted her head at him. "Hey, help me here."
Jeongin smiled as he went in front of her and help her lift the box but as soon as he lifts it, he immediately dropped the box when he saw something.
He felt his cheeks heated and his heart beats even faster. What the fuck Yang Jeongin?! It's just a cleavage! Jusy a cleavage of a woman! It's just Nayeon noona! Oh fuck!
"Why??" Nayeon looked at him confusedly.
"I can carry this alone." Jeongin said without looking at her.. or at any part of her as he continue to lift the box and carried it downstairs with his face still blushing.
