Jaemin is typically a very quiet guy around people, but a complete goofball around his friends.
Like when they are together? It's a complete mess.
"Look at him, I don't really understand him sometimes." I said while staring at Jaemin who was being very loud along with his group.
"I know." My bestfriend said as she shook her head.
"Y/n! Can you hand this to Jaemin for us? We really couldn't talk to him." One of our classmate said as she handed out a folder.
"Pleaseeee~" another one added.
"Why does it always have to be me? You can just hand it to him and not talk..." You said as you scratched your head.
"Why not? You seem to be quite okay with him. Sorry Y/n just this once hmm?" She pleaded.
I had no choice so I took it.
"Fine..." I said.
"Thank you so much!! Please tell him we need it by tomorrow-"
My eyes widen.
"HEYY. I only agreed to hand it over!" I protested.
They gave me a cheeky smile and left.
"Yah!!" I called out and they ran faster.
"What are you gonna do now?" My bestfriend asked.
I folded my arms and shrugged.
"Well, I don't have any other option. Anyway, I'll just have to hand it to him and say it's due tomorrow and done right?" I said.
I was honestly feeling uneasy deep inside.
Jaemin is my seatmate during the entire semester and everyone assumes we're quite close.
They tend to give us sort of stares cause he was being okay with it.
"It's really a surprise that he agreed having someone to sit with. I mean he usually would choose not to sit with anybody unless it's his friends." My bestfriend said.
I sighed.
When the bell rang, Jaemin went back to the classroom while his friends waved goodbye.
"Jaemin-ah! See you later~" his friends bid goodbye.
He nodded and proceeded to sit beside me.
My bestfriend patted my shoulder and mouthed 'goodluck' before leaving my classroom.
As soon as he sat, I slowly handed him the folder.
"Jaemin. They said it's due tomorrow." I plainly said while trying not to look at him.
I felt his gaze and gulped. I decided to make myself busy by looking at my notes.
He slowly grabbed the folder and placed it away.
"You didn't have to hand it for them." He said.
I looked at him and he was still staring at me.
I felt uneasy.
"It's okay though." I said as I looked back at my notebook.
"Thank you." He suddenly said which made me surprised.
"Oh. N-no worries." I said.
Just then our professor came in and started discussing.
I was trying to write down notes but I was having a hard time reading some of the words written on the board.
I was minding my own business when Jaemin slowly moved his lecture closer for me to copy.
He nodded at me signalling that I can copy his notes.
I smiled and copied quickly as possible.
I mouthed 'Thanks" and he smiled.
HE SMILED.
NA JAEMIN FREAKING SMILED AT ME.
It was more of a small smile. But still!
I blushed and continued to write down notes.
He suddenly wrote something on his paper and of course since I was copying his notes, I almost wrote the exact same thing.
"Want some candy?" It wrote.
I looked at him and he raised his eyebrows.
I smiled and nodded.
He grabbed some on his pocket and placed some on the desk we share.
He continued writing notes while there I was enjoying the sweet candy.
I saw him smile and it made my heart skip a beat.
Our classes ended pretty good. We had small chats and the awkward air was lessened.
Since I was sitting next to the windows, I felt the heavy blow of the wind. The sky grew darker and heavier, too.
Looks like it's gonna rain today...I thought.
Good thing I had my umbrella with me.
I didn't realize most of our classmates already left. I was one of the cleaners today so I had to stay.
"Jaemin. Aren't you gonna go home yet? You might get caught in the rain." I looked at him as I aligned the chairs.
He shook his head and I shrugged.
I was about to wipe the writings on the board when Jaemin suddenly stood beside me.
I was startled when he suddenly grabbed the eraser from my hand.
"Hey, it's okay. I can do it myself." I said.
"Let me." He said.
I nodded and allowed him to do so.
I continued sweeping the floor while my other classmates went to clean the windows.
"Guys, let's be quick. The sky is getting darker. I think it'll rain any time now." Our class president said.
Once Jaemin was done, he went back to his seat.
"Huh? Why isn't he leaving yet?" I thought to myself.
I slowly went to my seat and arranged my stuff.
"Guys I'll go ahead. I still have some things to submit. Be careful on your way home. Byeee" Our president said and i nodded.
"Wait we'll help you!" Our other classmates said.
It left us two alone in the room.
"Uh...are you waiting for your friends?" I asked.
"Oh...I think they already left." He plainly said.
"Oh-kay. L-let's go then?" I said.
He nodded as a smile appeared on his face.
As we were walking down the hallway, the rain started pouring.
"Oh no." I said.
But then Jaemin seemed not to be bothered by the rain.
"Did you bring an umbrella with you?" I asked.
"I don't. But it's okay I'll just wait for the rain to stop." He said nicely.
I didn't wanna leave him there alone. Besides he kind of helped me with cleaning too.
After some moments, students started filling up the exit.
I didn't want us to be stranded at the exit since there were way too much students.
So I quickly grabbed my umbrella and tugged his uniform.
"Let's go to that convenience store. We can wait there till the rain stops." I said.
He seemed shocked.
"Come on, Jaemin. My umbrella can fit two people anyway~" I said and he chuckled.
We slowly went in the rain and he told me to wear my backpack in front so it won't get wet. I chuckled cause I didn't expect him to be that caring.
I was handling the umbrella handle with my left hand and i was startled when Jaemin held it with his left hand and his right hand held me closer to him.
I looked at him without speaking a word.
"I'll hold it for us. You might get wet, so keep close." He said with his signature smile.
I smiled and continued walking.
As soon as we reached our destination the rain poured much heavier.
He bought us some coffee and offered me his handkerchief.
"Thank you, Y/n." He said as he reached the coffee he bought.
"No worries." I said as i took the coffee.
I heard him sigh.
"I think the rain won't stop anytime soon." He said.
I peeked at the dark skies and agreed to what he said.
"The skies may be grey, but I don't seem to feel gloomy." He suddenly said.
I was quite confused.
I looked at him and our eyes met.
"Y-yeah me too." I said as I awkwardly looked away but I still felt his gentle stare.
He sighed and took his earphones.
He tapped my shoulder and offered me the other end.
I was in total shock
Doesn't he know, that what he does makes women's heart skip a beat?!
He does it as if it's normal.
I didn't want to be rude, so I took it.
"So you like these kind of songs, huh?" I blurted out.
He chuckled and looked right in to me.
"Hmm, those are the songs I like. How about you, Y/n? What kind of music do you prefer?" He asked while looking straight at me.
"I don't know?" I shrugged as a response and he shook his head with a soft chuckle.
I heard him humming and swear, it was so heavenly!
I guess I had an answer to his question.
I like him...I mean I like his music the most.
But who am I trying to fool? I knew deep inside I like him...too much.
I was secretly staring at his beautiful self. How he smiled amidst the sad pour of the rain was breath taking.
"Y/n?" He suddenly called.
"Hmm?" I replied.
"Thank you for making me feel happy. You always did. Since day one. I'm glad the rain made way to get you closer to me." He said while his gentle gaze cradled me.
It was as if I was the most precious one for him. The type of gaze that only Jaemin could give.
Time got so slow and I never thought gloomy days could be that beautiful.
