I.N.
The guys have been practicing day and night for their upcoming comeback. They usually take ten minute breaks so they can rest up and drink water.
So during their break, they sat down on the floor of the practice room and either ate snacks or took a small nap.
Changbin and Felix were playing rock, paper, scissors to see who will get the Pringle's. Neither of them had the chance to eat it because Han quickly grabbed the red tube of chips and shoved a few into his mouth. Both Changbin and Felix looked him disappointedly.
"Want some gummy worms?", Jeongin asked Felix, showing him the bag.
Felix grabbed one that is blue and red, which were his favorite. As they ate their snacks, (y/n) came running in and went towards Chan who was on the small black couch, checking his laptop. While she talked to him, Jeongin glanced at her as his cheeks turned red.
"Aww look at Innie, he's blushing", Hyunjin teased as he squished his cheeks.
Jeongin pushed his hands away and stared at the floor, chewing on the gummy worm.
"You still haven't asked her out?", Felix asked as he stole the gummy worm that Changbin got out of his hands, eating it before he could do anything.
Changbin glared at Felix before grabbing another gummy worm, only to have it be taken away by Felix again.
"Why would I ask her out?", Jeongin asked.
"Because you like her, dummy", Han said quite loud.
Jeongin shushed him and made sure (y/n) didn't hear, which she didn't because she's too busy talking to Chan. He sighed and told them to leave it alone.
"Why? Don't you want her as your girlfriend? Your babe? Cuddle buddy? Lover-", Hyunjin stopped as soon as they looked at him.
"Just leave it", Jeongin begged, sighing as his eyes landed on the gummy worms.
(Y/n) is still across the room, telling Chan about the song that they worked on. Since she's still a newbie, Chan helped her start the song and she had to finish it, which she did. He gave back comments and what she needs to work on before submitting it.
While Chan kept checking the lyrics on the paper, (y/n) carefully turned her head to look at Jeongin. He was fighting with Felix over a bag of gummy worms. Without realizing it, she started smiling.
Chan quickly looked up and raised an eyebrow, wondering what she's smiling at. He turned and smirked, realizing she's checking Jeongin out.
"Someone's got a cruuuush", Chan sang as he poked her side.
She slapped his hand away and blushed, telling him that it's not true though she couldn't hide it because her whole face is red.
"You don't need to lie to me (y/n). We've known each other for how long? You gave the same look to Shinee's Taemin except this time you're in panic mode", Chan laughed and glanced over at the guys who were doing the same thing.
"Want me to tell him to come over? He's looking this way", he said.
(Y/n) laughed awkwardly and told him that she had to go. So without saying anything else, she grabbed her file and quickly ran out.
Jeongin watched as she left and felt his face cool down. Han threw a gummy worm at his face and said he could've made his move.
Chan sat down near them and smirked at Jeongin. He wanted to tease him so badly but the others are already doing that so he didn't want to make him feel more bad.
"Are you gonna ask her out?", Han asked.
"....I don't know", Jeongin mumbled.
"Oh............can I ask her out?", Han asked, slightly raising his hand.
His question caused the other guys to give him death glares.
"No one is allowed to ask (y/n) out.....except Innie because he liiiikes heeeerrr", Chan sang teasingly while poking Jeongin's cheek.
"Stop it", Jeongin whined, hoping he could eat his snack in peace.
"Come on, you never know she may like you back", Chan chuckled.
"I know for sure she doesn't. I overheard someone say she likes Changbin", Jeongin said.
"What? Really?", if Changbin was a puppy, both of his ears would be up out of curiosity.
"Who said that? It's not true. I'm sure she likes you. I can tell", Chan said.
"How?", Jeongin asked.
"Because I always catch her staring at you", Chan responded.
Han dramatically gasped and said, "oh my god. She's just like you. Both of you are perverts."
No one paid attention to him, mostly because he's always saying random things. Jeongin shook his head and tried to think of something else.
"Are you scared? Is that it? Because it's okay. Many people have a hard time having a conversation with people they like", Chan explained.
"Maybe he's embarrassed. He tripped in front of her the other time, remember?", Felix mentioned that moment and Jeongin wishes he could just hide.
"I'm not scared. I'm not embarrassed either", Jeongin said, trying to defend himself.
"Really? Prove it then. I dare you to ask her out", Hyunjin challenged him, knowing he won't make the first move.
"..but...we don't have time anyway. Our comeback is getting closer", Jeongin said, trying to come up with an excuse.
Sure he really likes her but he can't even say hi to her without stuttering. And getting pressured into doing so isn't helping his confidence at all.
"Okay look, once you see her, just smile and wave. If she starts talking, respond. Like if she asks how your day is going, you tell her. But don't tell her it's horrible. I'm sure she doesn't want to hear about it-" Hyunjin got hit behind the head.
"Why should he be taking advice from you? You never even kissed anyone", Han said.
"You haven't either!", Hyunjin pointed at him with an offended look.
"Guys, forcing him to talk to her is just gonna make the situation worse. He should talk to her when he's ready", Seungmin said.
"I agree with that", Chan said, raising his hand.
"Chan I forgot my-", (y/n) ran back into the room only to be faced by everyone, especially Jeongin.
Everyone gave each other looks, except for (y/n) and Jeongin. She took steps forward and tried not to look at him.
"I forgot the...paper", she said to Chan.
"It's on the couch", he tilted his head, looking over at the black furniture.
She walked over and felt uncomfortable as they watched her. Hyunjin shrugged his shoulders and slapped Jeongin's shoe, signaling him to say something.
"Thanks Chan", she said, walking passed them.
Hyunjin, Changbin, and Han kept poking, shaking, or lightly hitting Jeongin so he could do something. Out of impulse, Jeongin called out her name, making her turn around.
"Um.......hi?", Jeongin's voice squeaked, instantly regretting deeply inside his soul.
(Y/n) quickly looked back, and then at Jeongin, shyly smiling as she waved and quickly ran away.
The others laughed and teased him by the way he spoke. Now Jeongin felt more embarrassed and covered his face while groaning.
"Like you guys can do any better. I bet you don't even know how to flirt", Chan said to them, defending Jeongin.
"That's a lie. I am a master flirt. I am the king when it comes to flirting", Hyunjin said.
Minho took off his earbuds as he paused the music he's listening to. He was about to ask Changbin to pass the snacks but Hyunjin held his hand.
"What are you doing?", Minho asked.
"You said you wanted a snack", Hyunjin said, winking.
Minho slapped his hand away and gave out a little "yuck", turning his back to him.
"Okay that doesn't count. He already knows I flirt too much. But I can.", Hyunjin stood up and headed towards the bathroom.
"Don't listen to him. You don't need to flirt in order to have a good conversation with her. Just be yourself", Chan patted Jeongin's back, standing up to call everyone back to practice.
(Y/n) stayed behind to change some of the lyrics that Chan corrected. It took a few hours to start from scratch but she feels like she has the song so she went towards the elevator to head to the first floor.
When the elevator doors opened, there stood Hyunjin, Jeongin, Han, and Chan who were going to the cafeteria.
"(Y/n) hey, come in", Chan said, motioning her.
"Um...that's alright. I can just wait for the next one", she laughed nervously.
"Why? There's enough space. Come on, we won't bite....well at least some of us won't", Hyunjin's smirked and held her hand to pull her in. She stood in between Jeongin and Chan.
"You finished the song?", Chan asked.
"Yeah. It was really difficult but I got it done. I just have to submit it into the box", she said.
"Ah, can I see?", Chan asked, which she nodded.
She handed the paper to him and waited for his response. While they were in their own little world, Hyunjin nudged Han and looked over at Jeongin who was staring down at his shoes. Han stood next to him and slightly pushed him to get closer to (y/n) but instead stepped on her.
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay??", Jeongin asked, making sure he didn't hurt her too bad.
"It's fine. I'm okay", she smiled at him before looking away.
Jeongin glared at Han who avoided his stare, pretending to look up at the ceiling. Chan tried holding in his laugh so he thought of something not funny.
"So (y/n), you busy over the weekend?", Hyunjin asked.
"No....why?", she asked.
"Oh..no reason", he smiled to himself while putting an arm around Jeongin's shoulders.
Chan mentioned they were going to the amusement park this Saturday so he asked if she wanted to go.
"Amusement park? Like...with roller coasters?", she asked.
"I mean, yeah. And games. It's gonna be fun", Chan said.
The last time (y/n) went to an amusement park is when she was 14 years old. That was actually her first time and she hated it. Her sister tricked her into going on a roller coaster that had a lot of loops and turns. She said it's like a baby ride. (Y/n) cried as she left the ride.
She wishes she could say no but she doesn't want to sound lame so she said yes. On the outside, Jeongin was chill but on the inside, he's screaming.
They arrived on the first floor, (y/n) going one way while they went another way. (Y/n) just wanted to throw herself out a window. There's no way she'll be able to get on a roller coaster without becoming a crybaby.
"What do I do?? I can't bail out now. They're expecting me to go", (y/n) paced back and forth while talking to her sister.
"The answer is easy. Just go and get on the rides. How are you gonna get rid of your fears if you don't face it?", her sister said, laying down on the floor as she raised her legs.
"Excuse me?? You're the reason why I'm so afraid of roller coasters. You could've just given me a warning? I yelled like if I was being murdered. What if I do that??", (y/n)'s eyes widened and can already imagine it.
"Then take some tranquilizers", her sister joked.
She glared at her and pushed her legs before walking into her room.
Two days pass. (Y/n) is dressed and ready to go to the amusement park. She's not mentally ready though. Chan messaged her that they will pick her up around 9am and it's currently 8:50am. Her heart is racing rapidly and tried to do some breathing exercises. It sort of helped.
"Hey lil sis! Your friends are here! And they're cute!", her sister yelled from the living room.
Of course she knew what she was going to do so she grabbed her purse and ran out, pulling all the guys out of the house so her sister won't flirt.
"Sorry. She tends to do that", (y/n) said.
There's an RV, not too big but enough so everyone could fit, parked in front of her house. She's never been in one of those before so she ran in and gasped.
"This is so cool!", she sat on one of the recliners and sighed as she felt relaxed.
"We were gonna take two vans but it would just be a hassle so we got this RV. But it was actually Jeongin's idea", Chan said, pointing at the boy next to him.
He blushed and didn't know what to say. (Y/n) smiled at him, making sure she listened to her sister. She had told her about her crush on Jeongin and the struggle of not being able to talk to him. So she gave her a few pointers. Always look him in the eye so he'll know she's interested.
Jeongin on the other hand is looking out the window.
They were ten minutes into driving. Some were sleeping, others were complaining already, Jeongin is playing on his Nintendo switch which (y/n) is curious about. She leaned over and watched him play.
"Cool. I love Mario Kart", she said.
Jeongin got slightly startled and almost dropped the switch.
"Oops. Sorry", she said sheepishly.
"It's okay", Jeongin fixed himself and felt pressure as she watched him play. His fingers were shaking, which caused him to be in sixth place.
"You have the mushroom. You can use that", she said.
And he did. His character pushed the others aside and he's now in 2nd place. On his last lap, he tried getting as many prize cubes as he could to get first place. In the end, he didn't win.
"That's alright. You did great", she said.
Jeongin smiled to himself and shook his head before asking her if she wants to play. He gave her the red controller while he had the blue one. They each chose their character and cart before agreeing on which place to race. Everybody hates the rainbow road but they loved it.
(Y/n) started off strong while Jeongin struggled. She kept getting the prize cubes and used the bananas to get the characters behind her. He tried catching up but (y/n) didn't let him. She put her hand on his controller.
"Hey! That's cheating!", he said, trying to do the same thing.
They were so focused on the game that they didn't notice the guys smirking at them. Chan and Seungmin were glad that they were having fun but what will happen when they get there.
Both of them ended up losing because they kept trying to distract each other.
"Fifth place isn't that bad", she said.
"Lucky you. I'm in ninth place", he said.
"Because you were so worried about grabbing a prize cube but turtle dude wouldn't let you", she laughed and wanted to play again but they arrived at the amusement park.
Her smile disappeared and watched as everyone got off the RV. She was the last one.
They got in line and paid for their tickets, talking about which ride to get on first. (Y/n) stayed quiet.
They walked in through the gates and got excited.
(Y/n) pulled Chan to the side and mentioned she didn't eat.
"Oh, who's hungry?", Chan asked the group.
Jeongin raised his hand. Minho was also gonna raise his hand until he was hit behind the head and his arm forced down to his side. Chan has an idea and told them that they should get food while the others started on the rides.
"Call us when you guys are done", Chan said, pushing the others to walk.
"Have fuuuuun", Hyunjin laughed.
Jeongin and (y/n) walked towards one of the fast food restaurants, sitting on one of the booths. They waited for someone to give them the menus and take their order.
They stayed quiet, looking down at their laps to see if either one will start a conversation.
"S-So...that song you wrote, what's it about?", Jeongin asked.
(Y/n)'s eyes lit up and mentioned the struggles she went through in order to get where she's at. She always loves telling that story because it shows how strong she has gotten.
"I'm supposed to sing it in a few days but...I don't know. It's like I get nervous when I'm in front of a huge crowd of people", she said.
"I'm like that sometimes. I take deep breaths before going on stage though it really seems to help", he said.
"Yeah but you're lucky because you get to sing and dance with your friends. I'm singing alone. That's more pressure", she said.
"Well....I can sit in the audience if you want...if that makes you feel any better", he said, nervous about her answer.
"..really? I'd love that", she smiled.
"When is it?", he asked.
"The 21st", she answered.
Jeongin's smile slowly disappeared and remembered that's the day of their comeback. He didn't want to disappoint her so he said he'll be there to support her. Her smile was so big, her cheeks started to hurt.
After they finished eating, they took some time so the food will go down. They met up with the others and got in line for one of the roller coasters. Everyone kept talking about how excited and nervous they were, even though they rode like four of them already.
"I want to go in front!", Felix yelled.
They sat down on the seats they chose. (Y/n) sat all the way in the back with Jeongin. The bar went down on their waist, signaling that the ride is about to start. When one of the staff spoke on the speaker, the roller coaster began moving. As it slowly went up, Everyone cheered and pointed to what they could see from far up.
Jeongin looked over at (y/n) and frowned. Her eyes were closed and her hands tightly held onto the safety bar. He can hear soft whimpers and instantly felt bad. So he reached over and held her hand, all while looking forward. (Y/n) was caught by surprise, blushing against the cold wind.
The entire ride, she tried not to yell and scream out for help. About a few seconds into the ride, she held onto Jeongin's arm and dug her face onto his chest.
The ride had three loops and many turns, not as bad as the first one she went on. But she still hates it. Jeongin couldn't even enjoy it because he felt worried.
When it was over, Jeongin tapped her head, making her open her eyes and sit up, quickly getting off to run towards the exit. None of them noticed, only Jeongin obviously. They caught up to her and began walking towards another ride. (Y/n) kept behind them, facing the ground.
Until she felt a nudge on her left side.
"(Y/n), let's go play the games", Jeongin smiled.
"Mm? What about the roller coasters?", she asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "they're not fun. Come on, we'll catch up with them later."
He stopped to walk the other way, waiting for her but she glanced over at Chan and the others.
"I'll text them to meet us later. They won't even know", he said.
It's better than going on those rides that might result in the end of life. Or maybe she's just paranoid.
"Alright, I'll go", she smiled.
The first game they went up to is the one where they have to shoot a basketball into a hoop and they'll win a prize depending on the score they get. (Y/n) went first. She stood on her tippy toes to be able to throw the ball. Jeongin couldn't help but smile to himself.
"Ugh, I suck. Even in middle school when my P.E. teacher asked the class to practice. I was really short back then", she stepped aside so he can go.
"...still short", he whispered before shooting the ball into the basket. He did that three times, getting a perfect score.
"Choose a prize please", the man said.
Jeongin looked at each of the prizes while (y/n) smiled at a little girl who was dancing cutely a few feet away.
About twenty seconds later, she turned to meet eyes with Jeongin and stepped closer. He smiled before placing a small headband on her head that had a small crown attached to it.
"But you're the one who won. You should've gotten that cute hat", she said, pointing to the black cap with a rose in front.
"Yeah...but I kinda felt bad. I thought maybe this would make you feel better", he said.
"It's okay. It's just one game-"
"I'm not talking about the game. I meant you getting on the roller coaster. I didn't know you were that afraid of them. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone on", he said.
They began walking towards another game, silently glancing at one another. Her hand slightly brushed against his but since it didn't bother him, she didn't pull away.
They played almost every game, getting a bunch of small prizes. As they walked, (y/n) spotted some go-karts, eyes lighting up.
"Let's race", she faced Jeongin and pointed towards the go-karts.
He nodded and got in line. When they were up next, Jeongin decided to put a bet on it.
"If either one of us loses, we get a punishment. Deal?", he asked.
She agreed. Her grip tightened on the steering wheel before being signaled to go. She had trouble at first because this is her first time on a go-kart so it took a while for her to get used to it. But no matter how hard she tried, she still lost.
"Ha! I win!", Jeongin spread his arms up in the air and smirked.
"No fair. You have more experience. You tricked me", she said, nudging his arm.
"Don't hate the player", he laughed, feeling her small hands lightly punch his back.
"You probably cheated", she said.
"I don't cheat. I'm just good at it. And should I remind you who cheated on Mario kart? Remember you kept using your hands to block me?", Jeongin showed how she did it, making her laugh.
"Fine if you want a fair game, let's play Mario Kart again. The winner decides a punishlent", he said.
"Okay, now you have a deal", she said.
"Last one to the RV pays for food", Jeongin said, running away before she could get a head start.
"See what I mean by you being a cheater?!", she yelled as she caught up to him.
"Yes!! I win!! You get to pay for the food", (y/n) pointed at Jeongin while sticking out her tongue.
"I was gonna pay for the food either way. Okay well let's get started", he turned on his Nintendo switch and gave her one of the controllers.
They were competitive at first but then just played for fun. They didn't think about the punishment and instead just talked about what's been going on with their lives. About three hours of playing, they stopped and just hung out. Their nerves disappeared and were now comfortable with each other.
Jeongin texted Chan that they were already at the RV and will wait for them when they finish. (Y/n) and Jeongin were really tired.
"I told you that you shouldn't have eaten four popsicles", Chan said to Han who kept holding his stomach.
"It's not my fault. They taste so good", Han groaned in pain while holding another popsicle but Chan took it away from his hands.
When they entered the RV, they spotted Jeongin and (y/n) sleeping on the white couch. Her head is resting on his shoulder while his head rested back.
"That's so cute", Han said, eyes going big in awe.
Felix was about to wake them up but Chan prevented him from doing so.
"Let them sleep", Chan whispered.
Everyone carefully sat down as the driver started the RV. Hyunjin couldn't help but take pictures of them sleeping.
"I can't wait to show him", he smirked while saving the pictures.
"Don't tease him just because he likes her. They finally got to know each other. Don't make him feel embarrassed", Chan said.
"Yeah, at least he has a girlfriend now. What about you? All you do is compliment yourself when you look in the mirror", Changbin said.
"Because I'm handsome af. Many people will agree", Hyunjin said.
"Like who? Your parents? I'm sure they're very proud", Han chuckled but groaned as he felt more pain in his stomach.
"Well....they say so", Hyunjin pouted while looking out the window.
About an hour later, they parked in front of (y/n)'s house. Chan woke them up, letting them know that it's time for her to go home.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow?", she raised an eyebrow, asking them but looking at Jeongin.
"Hopefully. We're kinda busy", Chan said.
She nodded and waved good bye as she stepped off the RV. Then everyone kept nudging Jeongin to talk her to her door.
"Wait (y/n)! Let me walk you", Jeongin caught up to her and walked by her side.
She smiled and felt his arm brush against his. She went with her gut and held his hand, immediately looking forward. He didn't mind. But he did blush. A LOT.
"That's so cuuuuute", Han yelled while poking his head out the window.
Right when they got to her front door, she faced him while smiling before looking down at their hands. He quickly pulled away and apologized.
"I had fun", she said.
"I did too", he smiled and glanced at her door.
"And thanks for not making me go on the rides. Next time I swear that won't happen", she said.
"..next time?", his eyes lit up and smiled.
"Um..yeah...unless you don't-"
"Of course!..I mean...yeah..", he rubbed the back of his neck, hoping he didn't sound desperate.
"Okay. Well I'll see you", she smiled, turning away from him.
She was about to go inside but there was something bothering her. Her fingers kept tapping on her thighs, biting her lip nervously.
"Are you okay?", he asked.
Without saying anything, she turned around and quickly but softly pecked his lips, instantly turning red. It caught him by surprise, his hand hovering over his mouth. She didn't know what else to do so she said goodnight and quickly ran inside.
Jeongin kept smiling to himself, even on the way to the RV. When he got in, everyone was smiling or smirking.
"What?"
~~~
A few days pass. (Y/n) has been busy practicing her song while the guys were getting ready for their comeback. She hasn't been able to see them but she has been texting Jeongin, not as much as she'd like but it's something.
Tomorrow is the day. She's nervous and feels like she's gonna mess up. She can't even hit the high note correctly.
"Ugh, I hate this", she groaned, covering her face with the pillow.
Her phone beeped twice, signaling that she got a message. Thinking it was from Jeongin, she quickly sat up and got her phone from the end table.
'Hey sis, let me borrow $20.'
'I already gave you money. I can't spend anymore, especially with rent coming up.'
'I'll pay you back. PLEEEAAASE ;-;'
Sighing, she put her phone to the side and laid down on her bed, bringing her legs up. The reason why she loves her room so much is because there's a skylight right above her bed so she can look at the stars.
A few seconds later, her phone began to ring.
"She just doesn't give up", she answered the phone without looking at the caller ID.
"What?", she answered, putting the phone on speaker.
"(Y/n)? Were you asleep?"
(Y/n) sat up once again and grabbed the phone.
"Jeongin? I'm so sorry. I thought you were my sister. No I wasn't asleep. I'm just thinking about how things are gonna go tomorrow", she said.
"I'm sure you'll do great. And you'll have me there cheering you on. I'll be your good luck charm."
"Oh..so you're still coming to see me?", she asked, biting nervously on her lip.
"Of course...do you not want me there?"
"No it's not that. It's just...because I haven't heard from you in a couple of days, I just thought you'd forgotten or made other plans", Now that she says it out loud, she thinks it's stupid.
"No way I'd forget. I'll be there."
(Y/n) smiled at her phone like a freak and kept turning to her side.
They talked on the phone for at least an hour until they both had to hang up to go to sleep.
The next day, (y/n) woke up around 10am. She took a shower, put on the outfit she planned for today, made herself some breakfast, and cleaned the house a bit before heading out.
She had to go to the entertainment building first to meet up with her manager. They talked about at what time she'll sing and who's gonna be there. Apparently a few very important people will be there to watch and if she messes up, it'll look really bad.
(Y/n) arrived at the place where she is going to sing and make her debut. She had sent a message to Jeongin because she couldn't see him anywhere in the crowd. He said he was going to be in the front row but all she could see are people in their 40's/50's.
"Maybe he bailed", she thought.
"(Y/n), it's time", her manager said.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped out onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone. She looked around and felt her heart racing and her hands sweating. The music started but not her voice. She was in the brink of tears as people in the crowd were talking amongst each other, wondering what was going on. She was about to run off the stage but someone from a far pushed the doors open.
It was Jeongin.
He was sweating and out of breath but smiled at her either way. He sat down in the front and gave her two thumbs up.
Nodding, she took another deep breath in and began to sing. It felt strange singing in front of Jeongin and a bunch of strangers she won't even see. But seeing him made it a whole lot better.
Jeongin fell in love with her voice. He couldn't look away nor tear his ears away. For sure he's a blushing mess but he didn't care.
After the performance, Jeongin quickly met up with (y/n) back stage and gave her a small dandelion he found when he came running.
"Congratulations! How did it feel?", he smiled widely, waiting for her response.
"It was crazy. I felt like I was gonna pass out. I thought you weren't gonna make it", she said.
"Yeah..about that..I have something to confess. Our comeback is today. That's why I was a bit late. I had to run all the way here because there was traffic. I just didn't want to disappoint you", he admitted.
"WHAT?? YOU HAD YOUR COMEBACK TODAY AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?? I could've gone and cheered for you guys. And here you had me thinking that you weren't going to show up. You owe me", she said, poking his chest.
He laughed and grabbed her hand, preventing her from poking.
"Fine...how about tonight?", he asked shyly.
"..tonight? Really? What are we going to do?", she asked curiously.
"Mm I was thinking lots of snacks and a very competitive game of Mario Kart. This time, the loser will get their punishment", he said.
"Okay. You have a deal..again", she smiled.
"Excuse me, Miss (Y/L/N)."
She turned around to face a very short yet kind old man. He was wearing a brown suit with a cute little hat and a smile to die for.
"Yes?", she asked.
"My name is Lee Kim. I run a few programs around the world that helps people succeed in their most useful skills all while learning new ones. I saw your performance and noticed how talented you are. I want to offer you a spot in the program", Mr. Kim said.
"Really? Me? That's amazing! Of course I'd love to be a part of the program!", (y/n) held onto Jeongin's arm in excitement.
"Great! Well we can talk about it more as we get to the States. The only problem is that you have to pack your things right away because we are leaving tonight", Mr. Kim said.
"Wait...the United States? The program will be held there?", her smile slowly disappeared.
"Of course. Anyway, my assistant has the contract. You can read it while we get there. We have to get going, Missy", Mr. Kim smiled.
(Y/n) glanced at Jeongin and noticed he was softly smiling but his eyes were sad. She didn't want to leave now that she has gotten close to him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kim. I can't", she said.
Both Mr. Kim and Jeongin were a bit shocked.
"Could you excuse us for a sec?", Jeongin said to the little man and pulled her to the side.
"Why can't you go? You just said you wanted to", he asked.
"I just..can't", she said.
She looked into his eyes which gave him an answer. He held onto both of her hands before speaking.
"(Y/n), this is a really great opportunity for you to strive. And this may be the only opportunity you'll ever get. You should go", he said.
"Jeongin-"
"Do it for me. If not for me, then do it for that little mushroom guy character you always choose in Mario Kart. He sucks by that way", he said.
She couldn't help but smile and nod.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Flight xxx is about to board."
(Y/n) watched as each passenger started to board the plane. She stood next to Jeongin who kept holding her hand. Mr. Kim would tell her to hurry on up but she said she'd meet him inside.
"I guess you have to go now, huh?", Jeongin asked even though it's quite obvious.
"Yeah..", she answered.
"I'll see you soon?", he asked, knowing she'll be gone for a while.
She nodded before wrapping her arms around him while he did the same. To cheer her up, he opened his backpack and took out his Nintendo switch.
"Here, in case you need to let out some rage", he handed the switch over to her.
"But this is yours. I can't take it", she said.
"I have another one. I mean, maybe you can meet someone accidentally while playing this somewhere. Keep it", he softly smiled.
She knew what he meant. But there is no way she'll be able to like someone now that she really likes him.
"Miss, are you boarding?", one of the staff members asked.
"Yes, just one sec", (y/n) said before turning back to Jeongin.
"You should go. Everyone's waiting", he said.
She nodded and stepped away. She didn't feel comfortable leaving like this though. The only way she'll feel fine is if she does one thing.
Turning back, she quickly ran over to Jeongin, who's confused as ever, and kissed him, making sure this was more than a peck. It took him a while to understand but eventually he smiled during the kiss and wrapped his arms around her.
"Okay, now I'll go", she laughed awkwardly, watching Jeongin smile with red cheeks.
"I'll call you", he said.
(Y/n) waved at him as she began walking towards the plane. She took a seat next to the window and smiled while staring out, knowing something good will come of this.
