My heart beats at an abnormally fast rate as Jeongin sits down between me and Hyunjin.

Jeongin: Do you guys have any movies you want to watch?

He asks us while scrolling through some movies on Netflix.

Hyunjin: Oh! Let's watch that one!

Hyunjin points at a movie with a creepy doll on the cover.

Jeongin clicks on the movie and my eyes widen as I read the description.

Jeongin: Okay then, let's watch it.

Just before he plays the movie, I grab his hand to stop him.

Chan: Wait! We can't watch this! It's a horror movie!

Hyunjin: So?

I glare at Hyunjin, who's smirking behind Jeongin.

One time, we went to the theater to watch a horror movie and it did NOT go well.

I started crying because of how scared I was!

Chan: I-I... well-

Jeongin: Are you... scared?

I nod, hesitantly.

Jeongin: Awww, is Channie afraid of watching horror movies? How cute~

I look at him with wide eyes as my cheeks heat up at the nickname.

He realizes what he said and quickly turns away to face the TV.

Jeongin: F-forget what I said. It meant nothing.

Sureeee.

I'm not like those dense female leads in k-dramas.

I know that when he said that, Jeongin's wall slightly crumbled down.

This means I'm making progress.

I smirk and start watching the movie, completely forgetting the genre.

After a sudden jump-scare 10 minutes into the movie, I scream and grab onto Jeongin's arm, burying my face into his side.

He freezes and I pull away, immediately regretting my actions.

Shit!

Now I really am acting like a female lead in a k-drama.

Chan: Uh- that was just- the jump-scare-

Jeongin: It's fine, don't worry about it.

How am I not supposed to worry about it?

I literally just ruined all the effort I put into showing Jeongin how much of a daddy material I am!

Jeongin: You know... you can hold my arm if you're really that scared.

Chan: N-no. I'm fine.

Jeongin looks away, seeming a little disappointed, but I brush it off thinking it's just my desperate mind playing tricks on me.

As the creepy doll slowly wraps her "hands" around the protagonist's neck in the movie, I wrap my hands around Jeongin's arm.

I'm not trying to show how desperate I am, I'm just really scared of horror movies and can't help myself.

Jeongin: You said you didn't need it?

Chan: And you said I was cute?

Jeongin: I-I was just joking-

Chan: Then that makes the two of us.

I stare at the TV screen, pretending that I don't notice the deep red creeping up Jeongin's cheeks.
