'i don't got this'

heck, renjun was a big mess that morning. he hadn't gotten any sleep, thinking of ways to confess back to her. it was especially hard for him as he had seen eunha a little bolder after her confession and he wasn't a liar, he knew he liked it.

but oh my Christopher bang chan, the boy's plans and confidence poofed into thin air when eunha shuffled inside the kitchen like a little penguin. wearing his hoodie with the hood over her head and had her blanket over her shoulders, hugging it closer to her body.

'what a fucking simp' was what lee donghyuck would've said if he saw how renjun was giving eunha heart eyes. and he wouldn't be wrong. (then again, when isnt he wrong? he's lee fucking haechan, he's Always right.)

"good morning," she greeted groggily
"morning.. how-" he cleared his throat, "how uh.. how're you feeling?"
"better than last night. though, i could use some vitamin"
"vitamin?"
"yeah, vitamin u" she winked

there it was. the red on his cheeks.

"im just messing with you, I'm soooo much better now"
"that's a relief"
"hm.. i could use a healing kiss to feel even better"

"OH MY FUCKING GOD RENJUN IT WAS A JOKE STOP CHOKING ON NOTHING"

he calmed down in a span of 4 minutes and sighed, grabbing eunha's tiny hands,
"listen here, Newton. I like you too and stuff, you're so cute and tiny and- JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SO AWKWARD AND CRINGE OH MY GOD I SHOULD'VE WAITED MORE UGH THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING WHEN I'VE SAID IT OUT LOUD OH MY G-"

"Picasso?"

"WHAT?!"

"do you like me back?" she asked softly, looking into the prettiest pair of the deepest brown eyes
he nodded slowly, "yes"
"then be my boyfriend"
"oh.. i uh- uhm.. well-.." he murmured something and looked down at his feet

"what did you say?"
"i said okay.."
"okay"
"okay"

awkward silence hung in the air before eunha chuckled out of nowhere and shook her head. renjun looked at her, confused, yet finding her smile cute

"what's so funny?"
"i mean, come on. it was classmates at first, then friends to best friends and now we're.. dating. it's just so.. un-imaginable"
he smiled, looking down ag the kitchen island, "i know.. when did you first come to a conclusion you like me?"

"two years ago. then when you dated minsu last week, i realized i love you. you, though, mister, took too long" she said with an eyebrow raised and he held up his hands in defeat
"okay, okay before you start to rant on about those two years of how you waited, can i sleep first? i haven't slept all night because of you."

"i never thought it would come to this, honestly.." said renjun, the smile never leaving his face since morning
"just wait until i propose to you and we make a son and a daughter" eunha said, crossing her arms

renjun began to choke on nothing again and she just chuckled at him.

"but i agree, it feels surreal. like..damn"
"i can't believe the person that really did love me was in front of me the whole time. look at me, i chased after someone who was dared to date me like a fool"
"oh shut up. at least you got rid of your infatuation for her"

renjun smirked and moved closer to her,
"why? are you jealous?"
she widened her eyes and gasped, "me?! never.."
he gave her a look which made her slump her shoulders and pout,
"okay, maybe a little bit"

he smiled, content and moved so his head was on eunha's lap, closing his eyes when she began to play with his hair
"you know, renjun.. even though we've put labels on this relationship, i feel like we're still best friends"
he hummed, "maybe its because we're so comfortable with each other. i mean, i guess that's why people assume that two best friends are a couple at first glance? i don't know, im sleepy"
"you just woke up from a 2 hour nap, of course you're sleepy! sleep some more, dude!" she scolded the boy who just rolled his eyes

"well, miss eunha, i apologize for having my father's genes of sleeping less" he crossed his arms, "oh yeah, speaking of parents, have you told yours yet?"
"no. i don't want to give them a big shocker especially when they're on vacation, even jungwoo doesn't know"

"what do i not know?"

talk about perfect timing. the moment jungwoo's name left eunha's mouth, the boy walked inside from the front door. his friend, doyoung, followed

"how's your fever?" asked doyoung, pressing a hand to her forehead, "it's gotten slightly better than yesterday"
"yeah. but the lights are still too bright for me and i feel heavy"
"you are not heavy, you're as light as a feather, what the fuck"
"no, renjun, i think she meant that her body feels too heavy for her to walk around"

"eunha, what haven't you told me yet?!" jungwoo asked, worried. he sat down next to her and grabbed her hand that was making a tiny braid of renjun's hair, making the younger boy whine

jungwoo and doyoung ignored renjun's whines and waited to eunha to tell them whatever secret she was keeping from them

"well uhm.. you see.." she was contemplating on whether to tell him or not. how would he react? how would doyoung react? she knew doyoung would over-react, but she was still anxious as to what the response would be

but someone did not.

"she wants to tell you that we're dating now," huffed renjun and grabbed away eunha's hand from jungwoo's, putting it back on his head

"well.. i guess that was expected" doyoung shrugged and sent renjun a thumbs up, "congratulations, renjun"

eunha snorted at the interaction, "you guys are so awkward"

jungwoo was silent. she had only seen him this quiet when he was nervous or when he was sleepy. he didn't say anything as renjun and doyoung tried to explain to eunha how they weren't awkward, but eunha didn't listen and instead was worried about jungwoo and what he was thinking

"you oka-"
"kim eunha"

she gulped at his stern voice and even renjun and doyoung stopped, taken-aback.

"congratulations, eun. you waited for years" his reaction was the complete opposite of what everyone had expected. his face contorted into a warm smile and he patted his sister's head

then he turned to renjun, sending daggers at him. the action made the Chinese boy even more nervous than earlier that morning when he confessed to eunha

"you," jungwoo said, "you better treat her well. though, i know you will but you know, she's waited a long time for you"
"i will. I love her a lot, hyung"
