there was silence but it wasn't awkward it was peaceful. I took some glances over her, the way her eyes lit up while looking at the view, everything about her was different. I could spend my whole day just by looking at her.

"you're beautiful" I blurted out. oh shit, here I go again. don't look at her dahyun, just don't. I focused my whole soul at the road but I could feel she was looking at me.

"what did you say ? I didn't catch your words dahyun" Now she was teasing me. "i said you're beautiful" I repeated, my gaze still fixed on the road.

She had a small smile on her lips as she turned her gaze to the window. after few seconds she spoke "you're more beautiful"

I felt myself smiling at her words as my cheeks heaten at the compliment.
"cute" she whispered underneath her breath but I heard it.

"turn to right and drive for 5 more minutes then there comes my apartment" she said as I nodded at her. We reached there really fast I guess or is it just me ? I didn't really wanted to say bye but I had to. I enjoyed having little talks with her and I realized that Miss grumpy isn't that grumpy.

"thank you for today dahyun, if you don't mind then do you want to grab dinner for tomorrow at a restaurant or something ? I just want to thank you properly for today so... please?"
i didn't want to deny her request also
I guess it was a nice idea

"sure we can Miss hirai” i said as she unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to me “all this time you called me momo now no need to be formal” her statement made me chuckle. I said her goodbye and went towards my apartment.

"chaeyoung-ah, are you inside" I shouted standing in front of the door. there was no response, I was going to shout again but I saw door opening revealing chaeyoung who was busy typing in her phone. I sighed and went inside to get some water

"why are you smiling like an idiot just by looking at your phone" I questioned taking a glance at her before sitting in the couch. "I'm not"
that's all she replied with. "I'm sure there's something c'mon say me" I whined as she sat in her bed.

"I'm just talking with someone ok ? it's business talk"

"oh well I didn't knew business talks can make a person happy" I said as I rolled my eyes and turned on the TV.

"well..this person is a new model for the upcoming magazine and i am her dress designer for now, so yes we were just discussing about the photographer and all. also before your gaydar starts functioning- yes she's really beautiful and nice" chaeyoung said.

I was surprised ? not really I looked over chaeyoung and smirked "oh. yes. beautiful and nice oh sorry I mean really beautiful" i fake coughed looking at the TV

"dahyun, stop teasing me ok ? I just said she's beautiful can't I admire someone's beauty"

"what's her name tho ?"

"mina" chaeyoung said. I was trying to see if she's blushing or smiling but she just had her face neutral.

"and no don't think about teasing me cause I know about your crush over that girl named domo or something like that"

what the hell ? domo ? seriously ? I laughed at her.

"momo, her name is momo and don't you dare to misspell that beautiful name again" I joked as chaeyoung rolled her eyes again.

"already in love miss kim ?" chaeyoung said smirking, in a teasing tone. I just scoffed at her words as I remembered momo.

I am too afraid to fall in love, or maybe you could say it's not easy for me to confess, or maybe you could even say I'm afraid of rejection. but I'm just afraid of love itself, not the word but the feeling. yes I agree it's beautiful how you feel butterflies exploding in your stomach whenever they touch you or whenever they kiss you, but it hurts and your heart burns when you see them with someone else, it hurts when they break your heart as if all these feelings meant nothing to them.

I sighed as I told chaeyoung goodnight and went to my room. I tried to sleep but me being a over-thinker couldn't really sleep.
