❝ Waiting for you was always worth it, you're worth it ❞

3000+ words 

You had looked out of the window before deciding what to wear today. It was snowing, and a small part in you just wanted to jump into the cold white snow and lay there for hours instead of going to the baking lesson.

Maybe you would even enjoy them if they were happening in the summer, but because it was so cold outside, and you had to wear warm clothes so you wouldn't freeze to death, you couldn't properly show off in front of the boy in your lessons.

Lee Felix.

You repeated his name inside your head. He had caught your attention immediately when you saw him. His cheerful smile, his blonde hair, and even his baking skills. You went home after the first lesson, regretting you hadn't worn something better to catch his attention too.

As much as you wanted to leave a good impression, you also made sure you wouldn't be too cold while finally picking your clothes for today. You took out a dark blue leggings from your closet that you knew fit perfectly on your body and made stand out exactly the parts you wanted.

With your top, it was a harder choice as you couldn't pick any of your crop tops. In the end, you decided that it was alright for you to just take an oversized shirt when your bottom piece was already a tight one. You looked at yourself in the mirror, slightly nodding as you loved the fit. However, it wasn't done yet. You had to take a hoodie and a coat with you no matter if you wanted or not.

"Shit, I am late," you blurted out, noticing the time on your phone. You quickly took your keys, wallet, and put a coat over yourself, rushing out of the door. With your luck, by the time you come to the lesson there will be no good spot left.

What was considered a good spot? Well, for starters it was a place in the back of the room so people couldn't see when you made a mistake, but it was also a place from where you could see the blond boy.

If you had to admit, he was probably the only reason why you continued attending the classes during Christmas time when you could be hanging out with your friends instead. And you were sure you weren't the only one who thought like that. Most of the girls in the lessons showed plenty of times that they have no interest in learning how to bake and just hoped to get closer to the pretty boy in the class.

In your defense, you at least wanted to learn how to bake unlike them.

You sighed, rushing down the stairs, hoping you could still catch the bus from the other stop. You had already missed the stop that was basically right in front of your apartment, but maybe if you'd run you could catch the next stop.

You shouldn't have ran.

Oh god, you should have just stayed at home and live without seeing him one day. But no, you couldn't miss a lesson, and you just couldn't look as a normal person for once, huh?

You breathed heavily when you finally stopped, looking if the bus was anywhere to be found. You hoped you didn't run for nothing.

You stood under the bus stop's roof, shaking your head to get the snow out of your hair when you heard the familiar voice. The deep one you swore didn't fit his cute face at all.

"The bus is already gone," he proclaimed, making you turn to him. Suddenly, you regretted not ignoring the show in your hair. You really just couldn't leave a good impression on him, could you?

"Ah, really?" You asked, trying to play it off.

He chuckled, nodding. "I wanted to catch it too, but saw it drive by on my way. You're like a minute late, and so am I." You sighed, nodding to show that you understood. "Do you want to walk with me then? Since we both missed the bus," he asked, hands in his pockets.

Your eyes widened, glancing at him immediately. You had no idea he even knew who you were and now he was asking you to go with him? "Excuse me?"

"Oh, sorry," he chuckled in embarrassment, taking one of his hands out. "I am Felix, from your baking class. I usually sit in front of you," he smiled, offering you his hand for a handshake.

You watched him confusedly, blinking a few times to make your brain start working again. "I...yeah, I know who you are," you managed to say, making his hand fall back to his body. "I just didn't realize you knew me."

"It's not hard to remember everyone from my favorite lesson," he smiled, putting his hand back into his pocket. He was wearing a white winter jacket, that looked more like a hoodie in your eyes, gray pants and a black beanie on his head. He managed to look amazing even when he put no effort in dressing up, it was unfair. "Especially when it's someone pretty."

You could feel your cheeks heating up as he took a step forward towards you, also standing under the roof now. He shook off the snow from his beanie, looking into your eyes again. "Should we go then? We're going to be late anyways, but it's not that far away."

"Okay," you nodded. You really didn't want to walk all the way there, but maybe it wouldn't be as bad with him by your side.

"So, how are you?" He asked, attempting to start a conversation. He still had his hands in his pockets, as if the gloves he was wearing weren't enough to keep his hands warm. You walked right next to him, your hands also in your pockets, but unlike him, you had no gloves on so you needed to keep them warm.

You glanced over at him, questioning his intentions with your eyes. "Ah, could be better," you shrugged.

"How come?"

"I guess I am kind of missing my friends," you chuckle in embarrassment. "We haven't hung out in a while because we are all busy."

"I get that," he nodded. "I've been trying to get my friends to go out with me but they are all busy. Either with college or their job. I think we haven't hung out as a whole group in like two months," he sighed, looking up at the snowy sky.

You glanced at him and then at the sky too. Two months seemed like forever to you. You were lucky enough that your friends weren't that busy. You've actually seen your friends not even two weeks ago and that already felt like too long.

"Thank god Amy and Riley make sure we see each other more often," you breathed out, not even realizing you said it out loud. "Ah, sorry," you tried to laugh it off right away.

"It's fine," he chuckled. "Does Riley happen to be Nakano Riley?"

You glanced at him confusedly, nodding. "How did you know?"

"You really don't recognize me," he chuckled quietly again. "Riley is my friend, and is dating one of my best friends, too. I saw you at her birthday party. I heard you baked the cake for her. It looked really amazing, and tasted even better," he smiled as he started complimenting you, making your lips curve into a grin too.

"Thank you," you smiled. "That was a long time ago though, how do you even remember me?"

"You don't forget the person who drunk kissed your best friend and then danced on one of the tables," he chuckled, remembering the scene. It was a mess back then, and Astran and Changbin had to calm you down and bring you home.

"Oh right, I did kiss Hyunjin at that party," you mumbled in embarrassment, wanting to disappear. Did he really have to remember that? "Izzy didn't talk to me for like a week after that too," you sighed. "I should never drink again."

"It was fun though," he tried to hold back his laugh, but couldn't. He put a hand in front of his mouth when he ended up bursting out into a laugh at the end anyway. "Sorry, sorry, I just remembered you on the table," he managed to get out, trying to calm down his laugh.

You glanced at him, ready to tell him it wasn't funny at all, but when you saw his laugh, you just couldn't. His laugh made you feel somehow safe. He never laughed like this in the lessons, so seeing him like this, felt like it was something just for you. A laugh only you could see. 

You two finally managed to get to the building where your lessons were, only fifteen minutes late. The moment you opened the classroom's door, everyone turned their heads your way, shocked to see you two walk in together.

As expected, Felix's place was empty. No one wanted to steal his spot and it showed. Your place, on the other hand, was obviously taken. In fact, every place in the back was taken. You sighed, watching Felix walk to his usual place as you walked to the front of the class, taking one of the empty spots.

Maybe, if you were lucky, it would be him who was watching you instead of focusing on the baking this time.

"So, as I was saying," the teacher started when the two of you sat down. "For your next assignment, please, make pairs."

Pairs?? You really shouldn't have come today. You sighed, looking around the room. The people around you were already talking with their friends about pairing together, so there was no point in asking them. You looked to the back, trying to see who was free, but the only thing you could see was a group of girls, standing around Felix's table.

"Please, Felix!"

"Felix, please, pair up with me!"

"I am pretty skilled, I would be the best partner!"

"No, I would be!"

"Choose me, please!"

A bunch of female voices were heard throughout the whole classroom and you could feel the embarrassment even for them.

"Calm down," Felix smiled awkwardly, trying to see through the group. He was looking for you. He didn't even see where you sat, and now that the girls were all around his table, he couldn't find you at all. "I am sorry, everyone. I already have a partner," he proclaimed, still looking for you with his eyes.

When he finally saw you already looking at him he smiled. "You're pairing with me, right?" He asked towards you, making the whole group turn your way immediately. They surely didn't like the idea of you being the one paired up with him. Especially not after you two walked into the class late together.

"Me?" You asked confusedly, doing your best to ignore the threatening looks from the girls. Felix nodded with a smile. "Uhm.." you quickly glanced at everyone in the classroom, trying to see if there was even anyone else you could pair up with. "Okay," you agreed. "I'll pair up with you, Lee Felix."

He chuckled. "Good," he smiled. "It's a pressure to be working with you," he said jokingly, making you roll your eyes. Then he said it. He added your full legal name at the end of the sentence, making your eyes widen. You quickly turned around to face the teacher, hoping he didn't see your face. There was no way he knew the full name of everyone in the class, right? It must have meant something, right?

"Lixie! What do you mean you're pairing up with her??"

"Do you two know each other??"

"But I wanted to be with you!"

"Ah," Felix muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. He had no idea what to tell them. He turned to the brunette on his right side. "I was with you last time, right? You...uhm, yeah," he tried to save the situation, but it was already too late. He didn't know her name, and most importantly, he had no idea if he was with her the last time or not. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't remember which one of them bothered him last time enough for him to agree to pair up with her.

"No, you weren't! You went with Jia last time!"

"Jia?" He questioned without thinking. He had no idea someone like that was even in the class.

"Yes, me," the black haired girl on his other side nodded. "I thought we were going to be together again."

You grinned, hiding it behind your hand as you looked down on your table, pretending as if you weren't listening to their conversation. The fact he knew your full name really must have meant something. You were certain that he didn't know who Jia was even though she usually was the one to talk to him first at the start of every lesson.

Once the lesson ended, you all finally figured out what the assignment was. It was simple, just as any other assignment from your teacher. Bake something together.

Felix, ignoring all the girls who were trying to talk to him, walked up to you at the end of the lesson with the biggest smile on his face. "Are we taking the bus this time or walking again?"

"We?" You questioned, picking up all your stuff. You could feel everyone staring at you again and it was all just because the cutest boy you've ever seen was waiting for you so you two could leave together.

"Yeah," he nodded. "I mean, we have the same way after all. And we could talk about what we want to do on our way," he explained. "Come on, drunk girl," Felix whispered so only you could hear him with a wink.

That smile of his, with the wink of top of it all, could convince anyone to do anything, and you weren't an exception. "We can walk," you proclaimed. Even though normally you would avoid walking all the way back to your apartment when it's snowing, it meant you would spend more time with him, and you definitely didn't mind that.

"Nice!" He exclaimed. You chuckled, standing up with all your things packed now. "Let's go then."

You two walked out of the building, everyone still watching you two with a sign of jealousy. "I think they are going to kill me," you muttered, catching his attention.

Felix fixed his beanie, glancing at you. "What? Who?"

"Jia and like any other girl that wanted to be paired with you," you explained.

"Jia is the brunette?" He questioned, trying to remember all the faces.

"No," you chuckled. "Hey, didn't you say before you know everyone's name from your favorite class?" You asked, a small smirk on your face.

"Well, I know your name," he shrugged. "That's all I really need." Your cheeks were flushed now and you weren't sure if it was because of the cold or the boy next to you. You had a feeling it was both. He chuckled when he noticed your face. "Is there anything you want to bake then? It's completely up to you, I am fine with anything."

"Well, brownie boy," you started, using the nickname everyone in your baking lessons knew. Even the teacher sometimes called him that, and it was all just because of the delicious brownies he brought to the first lesson. Almost as if he wanted to show off. "I heard you're good at making brownies, how do you feel about that?"

He giggled, nodding as an answer. "We could surely do brownies together. Everyone says my receipt is amazing so I'll gladly share it with you."

"Felix, is this your way of trying to hit on me?" You raised your eyebrow at him, catching him off guard. "What?" He asked immediately, not even thinking about it. "Are you trying to flirt with me?" You repeated your question.

"I- uhm... maybe?"

"Maybe?" You questioned him again, stopping. He stopped too, turning around to face you.

"Maybe I wanted to ask you out at Riley's party but you were kissing my best friend," he shrugged. "And maybe when I saw you again in those baking lessons I wanted nothing but to talk to you but it was impossible with everyone around."

Your eyes widened. That's why he only knew your name. "You saw me kiss your best friend and drunk dance on a table and you still want me?"

"Exactly," he nodded. "You don't know how to dance at all," he chuckled. "But I still found it attractive, I find you attractive."

You were quiet. You tried to understand everything he was saying, but you just couldn't. The pretty guy you had your eyes on for over a month now was trying to hit on you? And he has been since April?

"I am just putting it out there," he muttered, starting to walk again. You immediately caught up on him, walking next to him again. "If you feel like giving me a chance, you can always find me. I'll be waiting for you," he proclaimed, his hands in his pockets again, watching the sky. "I'll ask Riley for your number later and text you about the brownies," he added, trying to leave. Your eyes widened and you quickly grabbed his hand.

"Wait," you stopped him. "I feel like giving you a chance now. You don't need to wait for me, not when I am right here."

"You're saying..."

You nodded immediately, not risking that he would try to run away again. "Let's go out. This week," you said confidently. 

He smiled, taking his chance when you were holding onto his hand. He intertwined his fingers with yours, nodding. "It's a date then."
