12 - Fishing Cat

Kyeom pov.

"Do you think this looks sexy enough?" I asked Hoshi as he judge my 5th outfit I tried today.

"Dude, we are gonna be late. You look great already! And I don't wanna comment about your sexiness!!" Hoshi complained as I tried another one. It's the first Tuesday of the month today and every time that happens our school permits us to wear anything we want. And this is  my weapon for later. I'm gonna make Joshi eat his words.

"You know if you help me out right now, we could be going already." I told him and he shook his head and then put his game face on as he slapped both of his cheeks like a maniac.

"Alright give me your best!" He said as he pushed me to the closet.

"How about this? It's see through" i asked.

"Uhmmmm next. It does look good but it doesn't scream sexy." Hoshi says with jazzhands on the word sexy. So I changed.

"Alright then how about this... imagine me outside.."

"Uhmmmmmmm giving handsome rich boy but not sexy..." he commented again and told me to pick one more. Honestly he's pickier than me.

" Alright let me get into that closet. You suck at picking clothes for yourself." He said and I just stood there in the bedroom waiting from him tod dfiss sh.

"Here try this and give me a sexy pose" Hoshi said and then I tried on the shirt he wanted me to wear.

"So? What do you think?" I asked.

"Dude that is S-E-X-Y SEXYY." He commented and I smiled. Alright then I'm so ready to be fashionably late.

"Now that's what I'm talking about. Come on! Let's get going. We are so late." I said and then he just laughed at me.

30 mins later... (Hoshi also wanted to be sexy and wore a crop top. Isn't it crazy?)

"Oh I see we have a theme today..." Kwannie told me as he saw me and Hoshi coming out his car.

"Yes and that is..." Hoshi giving them time to answer.

"Sluts!" Hannie suddenly interrupted and they all laughed. They seriously have no filter whatsoever. I punched his arm and he pretended to fall to Cheol who just tolerates his boyfriend. I'm not really sure if they really are officially together but I just assume at this point. I mean kissing each other goodbye? That's too much even for a bestfriend.

"It's sexy alright??? We were going for sexy." Hoshi corrected and he laughed with them.

"Oh I see. You guys look great." Wonu said as he sipped on his milkshake.

"Thank you Wonu. Godbless you." Hoshi said and I laughed.

"Why are you guys gathering here outside early in the morning?" I asked in confusion because clearly we are both late already yet they are still here outside.

"'Oh the principal said something about having an announcement. It seemed that the Swimming team had won the an award. And we have to acknowledge it or something." Cheol answered for all of them and they nodded.

"Oh they are finally back?" Wonu suddenly said and we all looked at him in shock. He's excited? That's new.

"Anyways... this is better so that Joshi could see me and regret even challenging me." I whisper to Hoshi who knows everything already because I told him everything about the bet. He just shook his head and didn't mind my psychotic behavior as he suggested.

"Holy Shi—" Hannie suddenly said as he looked back. We were all curious what made him almost curse and turned our backs at the direction he was pointing to.

"No way... he dyed his hair." Hoshi said in disbelief.

"Woah.. it's like he's shinning and he's hard to look at."  Kwannie said as he pretended to be blinded by the guy that just got out of the car.

"Dammit!" I said as soon as I saw him. How the hell can he rock every type of hairstyle and outfit like that's just not fair! My confidence is now back to zero.

Girls started shouting and fangirling over him. I could hear whispering and gasps all around. It's like a celebrity just entered. I feel so irritated.

"And that outfit?!? Wow." Kwannie suddenly commented. I could see Vernon rolling his eyes and covering Kwannie's eyes. Seriously this is getting out of hand.

"Looks like he beat you today." Hoshi whispered.

"I don't care! This is not how I envisioned this at all." I glared at him as he smiled and waved at people like a star. Then our eyes met, he smirked and winked at me. This guy really knows how to annoy me so much. But dammn I would be lying if I said he didn't look like a god right now.

Damn it!

"Alright everybody, may I have your attention. Let us all welcome back our Swimming Team that brought back not only 1 or 2 but 3 gold medals for the school. Please give them a round of applause." Mr. Hao said as he initiated the welcoming of athletes.

We clapped our hands and everyone cheered. It's been a while since the swimming team went to Singapore to compete.

"Thank you everyone. Is behalf of my team, I would like to offer this recognition to our coach and my gold medal to someone special. " Mingyu said as he handed the medals and trophies to their coach.

"Wow his body is ripped." Hannie commented again. This earned a glare from Cheol. Well he really is a slippery one isn't he.

"What? Stop sulking I like your dad bod. Much sexier than him." Hannie said to Cheol but he was still angry. I just laughed at both of them.

"Also I wanna. Take this opportunity to say thank you to my main inspiration that helped me in the competition." He said all of a sudden and murmurs started erupting.

"Ohhh is this a confession?!???" Kwannie said excitedly.

"Boo you're too invested." Vernon commented.

"Winnie.. wherever you are! You are my number one inspiration and I offer this award to you too. Let's meet soon!" Mingyu said and I noticed Wonu flinched beside me.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, just got a muscle cramp" he said and then I nodded.

"I wonder who Winnie is?" I asked in curiosity. No idea, probably one of his girlfriends. He's known to be a playboy anyway.

"Alright that was not part of the script but alright! Everyone the announcement is done, please proceed to your respective classes." Mr. Hao said after the little program we had.

"See you guys later!" I said as I have my vocal lessons in the morning unlike everyone else that were scheduled in the afternoon.

We all decided to go back but as I was making my way to class. I felt someone following be behind and I looked back to see the one and only Joshi-boy.

"Alright point made. You look great." I said to him honestly.

"Thank you And You look... very sexy too." He commented and I smirked well at least he saw what I wanted him to see. Then he chuckled a little.

"You like my new hair? This was definitely not a plot for you to beg at me and confess to losing the bet." He said teasingly and I rolled my eyes.

"You look the same." I said to him and he laughed a little. I continued walking without minding him.

"These girls behind me would say otherwise." He said and it finally made me stop to look back at him. And it was true that girls were following him. Hate it. Hate it so much.

"Whatever. Go entertain them then." I said as I continued walking.

"Glad to." He said as he stopped and seriously talked to the girls while looking at me and winking. Seriously he's back to being his cocky self. Not my Joshua at all. Wait it's been a while since I compared them. I should probably stop this. Note to self. Joshi is a whole new other person.

I made my way to the left turn and hid myself to look at him. He was busy talking and being shy around those hideous girls. I could just remove all their fake hairs and feed it to them. Wait too violent. Kyeom! Pull yourself together, don't cave! I thought to myself.

I inhaled deeply and closed my eyes.

Relax.. relax..

I put on a smile and walked to my class normally not even caring to look behind me anymore. This is a challenge and I accepted it so I will not lose!.

Joshi pov.

"Thank you so much girls but this new look is actually for someone I like." I said and they swooned right away.

"O??? So luckyyy who is she??" Some asked.

"It's a secret. But don't tell anyone alright?" I said knowing full well this girls will talk about it. Maybe spreading rumors can speed this arrangement right?

Because I didn't expect this at all. I almost confessed right then and there. How could he wear something that sexy in school. His chest is practically showing.

It's a good thing that those girls distracted me because if they didn't, I would have dragged him in the nearest room and made out with him. Like damn, whose idea was this?!?! Wait it was mine. Dammit.

—————————————————————————
Kyeom pov.

My vocal lessons went smoothly and I even got to be dismissed early. I had that class with Woozi and he got dismissed early like me too. I asked him out for a walk and he agreed since he had nowhere to go as he mentioned.

"So... what's up with you? Been a while since we hang out. You are super busy with whatever your making this time. A play, a song, a performance I don't know." I asked and he chuckled.

"Nothing much really." He answered shortly.

"That's impossible." I said to him and he chuckled again.

"Well alright,  there's this guy." He said and then I looked at him and stopped.

"There's a guy?!?" I asked excitedly.

"Don't pretend you suck at acting. You know him. He's your bestfriend." He said without hesitation.

"Oh right. Full disclosure I know he's being weird to you right now." I said not saying anything more.

"Right? What's up with him. He's avoiding me at all time, even missing some classes. I don't understand him. He told me he wanted to be friends again but he's making it hard to do." He said and then I smiled.

"He's being weird because he's embarrassed. He told me that he stayed the night?" I said.

"Yeah he did. He was drunk and we already talked about it. I thought he would improve but he got worse." He said with sadness in his voice.

"Is that why you've been distracted earlier??" I asked.

"Well partly. I thought that maybe it was better when we hated each other?" He asked and I stopped him again.

"Sorry about my friend he is kinda weird about people he likes". I said accidentally and my eyes went wide hoping for all the gods that he didn't hear it.

"What?" He asked.

"Oh. I mean he gets weird when he wants to get close to someone he admires. He's kind of a fan. But you didn't hear that from me." I said trying to be as nonchalant as I can.

"Oh.. well can you just tell him that he can talk to me normally from now on." He asked me and I nodded. My friend really is an idiot. It's so clear that Woozi wanted to be friends too.

"Oh right, I need to get something from the studio. See you later!!" He said and then ran off without waiting for me to say bye.

"Bye I guess." I said to myself.

"You guys look close." A very familiar person suddenly emerged and you guessed it, it's ofcourse Joshi.

"I look close to everyone." I said not stopping my walk to the gazebo.

"That you do. I was just worried you are already replacing me." He teased and I rolled my eyes.

"Don't you have a class to attend to?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Well, for your information, I am already a star pupil and if I don't go to any of my classes until the semester ends, I can still pass and even get an award." He said confidently.

"That's something Joshua wouldn't do. Don't forget that you're still him in this school." I said to him seriously because academic is not something to play with.

"Well I'm not him." He said.

"But you're doing it for him right?" I said seriously.

"I don't know about that anymore." He said and I looked at him In confusion.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing. Let's stop talking about him." He said and his expression changed.

"Why are you upset?" I asked.

"I said I don't wanna talk about it so drop it." He snapped at me and I looked at him in shock. I didn't say anything and just nodded silently. I noticed people whispering because they heard him too.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout." He suddenly said as he grabbed my hands. I didn't even noticed that I was walking faster.

"It's fine." I said but deep down I was shook. It was the first time he snapped at me like that in school.

"Kyeom look at me. I'm really sorry I don't know what came to me." He said and I did look at him.

"Joshua it's fine. You have a lot on your plate right now. And being nice to the person that helped you is too hard to do right." I said to him without blinking. I know I was being petty but he was the one who started it.

"Sorry Kyeom. Maybe I should just go." He said sadly.

"Maybe you should." I said and then he left with his head down. I know that was bitchy for me but he should learn to control that anger issues he carries.

I continued to walk to the gazebo and I saw Hoshi waiting for me. I waved at him and smiled and so did he. I told him about Woozi and how he was being a crazy person and he panicked even more. Seriously my friend really needs help. I didn't mention our little spat with Joshi and just tried to finish the day without thinking about it. He was being weird and I know it.

Later that day.. while I was with my friends. I received a text.

"I was a jerk. Up for please forgive this jerk date?" He texted and I rolled my eyes.

I didn't reply and Then I received another text

"Pretty please? I'll even take you shopping. You can get anything you want." He said.

I still didn't reply.

"I'm so sorry Kyeom. Please reply 😭😭😭" he texted once again.

I just left him on read. Then I waited for another text.

"I'm seriously going crazy. You can slap me once in the face even id if it hurts. 😢🥺"

I shook my head at his attempts to say sorry.

"Ohhh someone's smiling while texting... is there another husband you failed to introduce to us?????" Hannie asked as we were currently hanging out under the tree we always go to during breaks.

"What? I'm not smiling". I said.

"Ohhhh.. our friend is in denial." Kwannie added.

"Guys drop it. He obviously farted and didn't tell us about it." Hoshi said and earned a laugh from everyone. I slapped him in the head and laughed too. Why are my friends like this.

Then we stopped laughing when the person texted me went to our group.

"Excuse me but can I please talk to Kyeom?" He asked really mannered way. Everyone looked at me and I was acted confused about all this. What is he doing talking to me in public like this?!?

"Sure thing handsome." Hannie said flirtingly.

"You're too wild when Cheol's not around." Wonu commented and hoshi nodded. Which earned a slap from Hannie to both of them.

I stood up and followed him. When I saw that it was a safe space I started talking.

"Dude why are you talking to me openly?!? They are gonna ask questions and I told you I hate lying." I told him and he looked at me with a sad expression.

"Because you're not answering my texts.. are you really mad at me? I really didn't mean it." He said and I almost faced palm myself.

"That's crazy. Just because of that? Seriously you are mad." I said to him and walked away but before I could he stopped me again.

"Kyeom. Talk to me." He pleaded.

"Alright alright let go of me. I was mad. Emphasis on 'was' because I was just shocked that's all. But now that I think about it, it's not so bad after all. So I'm not mad now you can relax." I told him.

"Oh thank you. But the offer still stands." He said and I looked at him.

"What offer?" I asked.

"The date I told you earlier. I'll pic you up in your house later 8:00pm. Wear something sexy again. I'm loving it. Can't wait byeee." He said and then ran away not letting me say no.

"Wait! What do you mean???" I shouted but he was already gone.

"He's making me go crazy." I mumbled.

"That you are." Wonu suddenly said behind me.

"Omygod. How long have you been here?" I asked.

"Just by the time Joshua went running away from you. Seriously stop confessing already." Wonu said assuming I confessed my feelings again. I mean I would totally do that if I knew that he was not Joshua.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I have a little bit of a problem." He said and I looked at him. Never did Wonu come to me for a problem, he would solve it himself or not at all. That's how he thinks.

"And you're telling me because?" I asked.

"I don't know. I feel like you could relate somehow." He said and I looked at him.

"Alright then. Lay it on me." I said as we both sat on the bench.

"First promise me not to tell anyone. Even Hoshi. And don't laugh at me! This was totally not my intention" He said and I nodded.

"I am Winnie." He said and I looked at him with a blank expression.

"Winnie? I think I heard that before. Wait. Winnie that Mingyu mentioned earlier?!? Is that why you flinched earlier????" I said as I put two and two together.

"Yes, yes and yes. But the problem is that he thinks I'm a girl." He added and I looked at him. Well this is new, I know Wonu's Pansexual but crushing on Mingyu?? That is really new. An athlete above all things.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"Because I told him to. But I didn't mean it. I was just joking at first but then we talked and talked and talked a lot more. And I realized that he was actually interesting. But failed to tell him I'm me. And me is not a girl." He said.

"When was this?" I asked.

"We have been chatting for about 1 and a half months now.? I guess give or take." He said and my jaw dropped.

"A month?!?" I asked in shock.

"Shhhh keep your voice down. Yes a month! It's no big deal!" He said.

"How???" I asked again.

"We met at a video game. It was just my name there is Winnie. People underestimate girls in games so I was using a girl as an avatar just to mess with the players. That was just a dummy account." He explained.

"Woah. W8 you talked to him Same time they left for singapore?? Dude that's too long already. Why didn't you tell him it was you? He's gonna find out eventually. I mean he practically shout you out in the ceremony earlier." I said.

"I know. That's why I wanted to come clean." He said.

"And you don't know how." I continued his sentence.

"Yes I don't know how. I'm thinking maybe you could tell him it's you. Just so I will know his reaction." He said.

"That's not the best of plans you have ever made. And probably the craziest. Just tell him yourself." I said.

"Kyeom please. I really like him. Like, really really like him." He said to me. And I looked at him. Oh he's serious. Then he looked like this!

"Come on dudeeee I have many problems already...." I complained.

"Just this once. I will owe you big. You can use my phone case because he bought me a phone case the same as him. So it's proof that I'm Winnie." He pleaded again with that face. I mean look at him!! He looks lie a big cat about to cry! How can I say no?!?!  I'm dying here.

"Alright alright stop pouting already! I'll tell him. You can go with me now!" I said.

"Wait now?" He panicked.

"What??? Let's get this over with already!" I said.

"Maybe tomorrow?" He asked and I shook my head.

"It will be now or you can tell him yourself tomorrow" i said to him and he gulped and followed me. We went to the room where Mingyu was in. He followed behind me.

"Mingyu!" I shouted from the door.

"Ey? What's up?" He said as he made his way to us.

"Are you sure about this?" Wonu whispered behind me and I just laughed as Mingyu walked closer.

"To what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked smirking at us.

"Let's talk outside." I said and he nodded.

"Alright, I'm not sugarcoating it already. I am Winnie. The girl you've been chatting with for the past month while you are in Singapore." I said without blinking. I could feel Wonu shaking behind me.

"No way. Winnie's a girl." He said.

"Nope. It's me." I said and looked at him seriously.

"No way. Prove it to me." He said with worry in his face.

"Alright then. I'll message you." I said as I purposely showed my case to him and immediately got his attention.

"Wait where did you get this??" He asked.

"You sent it to me remember????" I said.

"No way." He said.

"Yes and it's true." I said confidently.

"You played with me?" He asked.

"No I genuinely like you." I said trying not to gag.

"No offense but I don't swing that way." He said and then left us both stunned. I looked at Wonu and he looked really down. I probably should have phased that better.

"Wonu- " before I could say anything he stopped me.

"Thank you Kyeom. I guess I know how he stands about this now." He said with hurt in his voice. Damn I feel like a jerk to Wonu.

"Wonu just tell him it's you. He probably didn't like it because it was me." I told him.

"No, he said it himself he doesn't swing that way." He said and I didn't wanna accept it.

"No! We are not giving up! Let's make him see you." I said and Wonu looked at me like I was crazy. He was very hesitant but I continued to nag him not to give up.

"No I will just continue doing what I do best. Being invisible." he said as he walked away. Damn I feel bad. He really put himself forward today and we both failed miserably.

As soon as Wonu walked out. I called Mingyu again.

"Hey you! Move your ass over here." I said pretty loudly. And then people looked at me like I was crazy.

"What?" He asked.

"First of all. I don't like you I was just testing you. And second of all.. Did you see my friend right there?" I asked.

"Oh I figured. I know you have a thing for Joshua. And do You mean Wonu?" He asked.

"Oh you know him Good. I just wanna say that he's really good at the games you guys play. If you want a fifth member, he's the number one choice." I said.

"Why are you saying this." He asked with confusion.

"What? I'm just being nice. You guys suck at the games you play. Maybe he can help you guys out." I said with a wink.

"Well that's just rude." He said and I laughed.

"Whatever! Just think about it. He wants to play with you guys. He's just a little shy. You guys talk to him first alright? Here's his number. Text him." I said with a thumbs up and Mingyu just nodded as if he was forced to.

As soon as I walked away, I texted Wonu.

"You're still in the running don't give up." I said  he replied with a question mark.

I love playing cupid. But this is gonna be a hard one.

———————————//////———————-/////

A little bit later... at 7:00 pm

"Alright, I have no idea what to wear." I talked to myself in the mirror.

"And that's why I'm here!" Hannie said as he entered my room. What? Why is this guy here?

"What? Your brother let me in. You obviously forgot about our performance but I don't mind because I finished it already. A.k.a Daddu! Did" he said looking proud at himself. I really forgot.

"Oh s— sorry about that Hannie. It really went out my mind. Is Cheol really okay with him doing all the work?" I asked.

"Yeah he just needs a little sugar and he's good to go." He said while throwing kisses in the air.

"Dude you guys should just date already." I told him. And he laughed.

"But you can't just tie me up like that??? I am a free birddd who will be incharge of flirting if I said yes to Cheol????" He said without thinking properly and I laughed.

"So he asked you already. You are such a tease." I said and he laughed.

"You caught that huh Hahahaha never mind let's go pick you an outfit. You suck at choosing one for you. Obviously a date right?" He asked.

"Yes but I wont tell even if you beg." I told him and he laughed.

"Now worries. There is no such thing as a secret in my world. I'll find out eventually." He bragged and I got nervous but still I needed his help so I just agreed.

"Alright I'm going for cute but fun look. This is not actually a date.. i think. Maybe I actually have more idea" i said.

"Well where are you going?" He asked.

"He told me it was nothing fancy just dinner." I said and he laughed.

"Well alright. Let's go with fancy pants." He said and I looked at him in confusion. Because I just said it wasn't fancy.

"Believe me." He said and then proceeded to raid my closet.

30 minutes later... we are finally done.

"Omg you look great. Alright give me your hand. i'll send this to my boys." He said as he took a picture honding hands with me.

"What for?" I asked.

"What? You look straight enough to be one of my boys. Just to tease Cheol too." He winked and I just felt sorry for my boy Cheol. But well he wants this guy, he gotta suffer 🤣
———————————————————————-

"Wow 5 minutes late. You really prepared for this date." He said as soon as I walked out the house.

"I literally went down when you told me to go down. Whatever. Can't even say I look nice? Start of the date 0/5" I said and he laughed because I rated the date right away.

"You look really good." He said as he moved to open the door. Alright then.

"Thank you and you don't look bad yourself." I said as I went inside the car. He also did and then we drove to the place. It was actually a pretty far place but actually cute. It looked like a vintage cafe and the interior is really gorgeous.

Only a few people were inside and it feels so cozy already.

"Woah you actually know a place like this?" I asked him.

"What? Just because I'm a little carefree I can't know something like this? It feels like an insult." He joked and I just punched his arm. He smiled and led us inside.

He ordered food for the both of us. A little steak and for dessert he ordered us toast. I don't know why he eats like this. I also ordered ice cream and he wanted to share when we can get two instead. He seemed childish.

"The food is great and the vibes just right." I said.

"Really? I was worried for a second because you were barely talking to me." He said and I shook my head.

"You're more of an over thinker than I thought." I said and then he took out his phone and raised it.

"Did you just—?" I asked.

"I took a picture." He said and then he showed me the one he took.

"That looks good send it to me." I said and he laughed.

"I'll take one of you too." I said and then he smiled just as I clicked.

"You look like a baby." I told him and he laughed.

"How about we take one together?" He asked and I hesitated.

"Maybe next time. I don't want any proof we are together now. People might talk." I said and his smile faded.

"Come on don't sulk. You know why." I said.

"I won't even post it." He said and I just laughed.
He is acting like a baby now.

"Joshi, please." I said and he finally agreed.

"Excuse me are you by any chance on a date?" Asked an old lady beside our table. I immediately blushed because even though he asked me on this date, it was still a little embarrassing to call it that.

"Yes ma'am" Joshi answered right away and I just looked at him and nodded a little to agree.

"Awe what a cute couple you both are." She said and then smiled at us.

"Actually we are not yet a couple ma'am because someone here doesn't wanna admit that he likes me too." Joshi suddenly said and I glared at him. Is he making fun of me here in front of a total stranger.

"Really? But you guys looks so good. It'll be a waste not to like this young man back. He's a very handsome man." She said and her husband held her hands to stop her because he was the nonchalant one.

"It's a little more complicated than that heheheheh" I reasoned out and laughed a little.

"Sorry about my wife. She's really a romantic person." He said and then we both smiled.

"No worries sir. You both are a very cute couple as well." Joshi said which made the old woman beside us smile.

"Actually we are just gonna ask you guys if you can take a photo of us too." The old woman said.

"Sure thing maam." I said as I took her digital camera and took a photo. I even suggested them to take one while kissing because it would look really cute. Joshi just smiled behind me as I took my job really seriously.

"Thank you dear and don't let that beautiful man go. My husband is as handsome as him in our prime." She whispered as I laughed at little.

"He is pretty handsome right?" I said trying to agree to her and she laughed. Joshi asked what she told me but I just brushed him off.

"They look really cute". I said as we saw them walking out the restaurant. He even kissed her forehead as soon as they went out the door. I mean it could melt your heart.

"We could be that, if you admit you like me." He said to me and I rolled my eyes at him.

"And lose?" I said and He smiled.

"Pretty competitive. I like it." He said as he poked my nose. I blushed and he just laughed at me. He's being unfair.

We talked a little inside and then we decided to go. It was already pretty dark outside so we decided to go. As we were going out the restaurant the waiter caught up to us.

"Sir." He said as he handed Joshua a little box. It looked like a cake.

"Who's that for?" I asked.

"For my side chick." He joked and I punched him in the stomach this time.

"Oww. Dude it's a joke. It's for Dino." He said as he struggled to stand up straight.

"Oh sorry. But you didn't have to do that." I said being embarrassed that he even thought of my brother.

"It's fine. We left them there alone. We should atleast bring him something." He said and I smiled. How thoughtful.

"He's gonna like that. But actually he's with Jeonghan right now. I'm just worried what Hannie would do to my brother." I joked and he laughed.

"Hannie's pretty crazy" he agreed and We went back to the car. We decided to go home and then as soon as we arrived, he gave me a box.

"What's this? Is this one of your silly jokes again?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Nothing like that. It's a little gift. Open it." He said.


"What's this?" I asked still in awe of the gift.

"I know it's a little tacky but it's a preserved sunflower. As soon as I saw it I remembered you so I got it right away. I still didn't know how to give it to you but I guess it seemed like the perfect time." He said and I smiled. He's acting like we are already a couple and It's making me blush.

"Thank you. I really like it. Sorry I don't have anything for you." I said and he shook his head.

"You being here is already a great gift". He said and I blushed again. Seriously, I can't count how many times he made me embarrassed tonight.

"Alright.. so I guess this is me." I said as I prepared to go out the car.

"Does this mean I won't have a goodbye kiss?" He suddenly said and I looked at him and punched him in the arm again.

"You wish." I said and then all of a sudden he took off his seatbelt and moved really close to me.

"Really?" He said as he leaned closer moving my chin to face him with his hands and made me face him. Our faces were literally an inch apart from each other and I can't move. If I move even just to talk, we would definitely kiss.

"Uh—mm" U stammered as I tried my best not to smash my lips to his! He stopped the eye contact and looked at my lips then back to my eyes again. Lord I'm not your strongest soldier.

"Just kidding I would never force you. Want me to walk you to the door? Maybe you'll change your mind." He said winking and then let go of me. I was already bright red at this point.  I was already being awkward and he added to that.

"You're seriously something. Stay here. If you walk me back people are gonna see. Bye." I said and then left the car in a hurry.

"Hey! The cake." He shouted.

"Alright alright!" I said as I ran back to the car and back to the door.

"See you tomorrow!" He shouted with a smiled and I just smiled at him and waved. Seriously if he walked me to the door. Who knows if what I could think of and do. It was the safest thing to do.

I opened the door to see my brother and Hannie having a wrestling match. They stopped as soon as they saw me.

"Oh? You're back early? Is he still there?!?!" Hannie panicked and pushed me out the door as he ran outside. I fell down on the floor and Dino laughed at me. He's pretty strong for a soft guy.

"Here! You guys can eat this." I said handing the cake to Dino and he cheered like a child.

"Damn it he's not there already!" Hannie said and then went back to tackling Dino. I just shook my head and told them to enjoy. I guess he's gonna have a sleepover.

I smiled and brought my gift in my room. I held it close to me. That was dangerous, I almost kissed him for real. I thought to myself as I sat in my bed.

I got ready for bed and I placed the gift on my night stand and then looked at it for a second.

"Cute. What a nice surprise." I said to myself and slept really soundly that night. I guess he's not that bad.
End of the date 10/10.
