[15 November 1999]

"So, you and Jeongin, huh?" Minho smirked and teased Y/N as soon as she entered their school to resume filming the short film.

"How did you find out?" Y/N raised her eyebrow, tugging at the bow that tightened her collar.

"We saw what happened at Chan hyung's house," Minho sighed, shaking his head, smiling. "You guys look good together."

Y/N gave Minho an awkward smile, chuckling at his comment. "Thanks?"

After conversing with Minho, they were called by Bangchan to the foyer, where Jeongin was already there waiting. Bangchan briefly explained the contents of the scene and how he expected the trio to act.

Y/N snuck a few glances with Jeongin, occasionally throwing him a loving smile, and his heartwarming smile was given to her in return. Y/N smiled nervously, realizing that the more they filmed, the closer she was approaching the kissing scene with Minho.

A feeling of dread loomed over her when she thought of it, worried about what Jeongin would think, considering that they were more than just friends.

She snapped out of her thoughts and returned to her position to continue filming with the rest of the others, attempting to act believably. After several hours of filming, Bangchan allowed Y/N and the others to have a break and eat their meals as they filmed without any breaks.

Y/N positioned herself against her locker and took out her packed lunch, eating by herself until Jeongin approached her.

"Mind if I join you?" He smiled warmly.

"Go ahead," Y/N smiled, allowing the dimpled boy to sit next to her.

"Are you worried?" Y/N suddenly asked, chewing on her food silently as she awaited for Jeongin's response.

"For what?" He asked in genuine curiosity, tilting his head to the side, almost as if we were mimicking a curious puppy as he sipped on his drink.

"About the kissing scene." It got quiet between the two of them.

"I don't know," Jeongin admitted. "I don't want to think about Minho's lips on yours, so I guess I haven't really thought about it."

"If you don't want me kissing him, it's fine," Y/N suddenly spoke, her cheeks flushing at her sudden remark. "I really don't mind."

"Don't let me get in the way," Jeongin frowned, his fingers enveloping hers. "I don't care if Minho kisses you, because at the end of the day, you're mine, right?"

Y/N flushed at Jeongin's remark and she nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm yours."

"Then there's no need to worry, Y/N. Trust me." Jeongin reassured her and squeezed her hand in his as they finished their lunch together.

Once they finished their lunch, they continued to film unrelentlessly for the rest of the day before they had to go home. Jeongin and Y/N decided to head to a nearby convenience store before they both went home.

Jeongin wandered the aisles of the convenience store, looking for food to take home to eat, with Y/N by his side holding a variety of chips and a meal. Eventually, Jeongin found what he was looking for - curry.

"Found it. Ready to pay?" Jeongin turned around to stare down at Y/N with a satisfied smile on his face, his lips widening.

"Yeah, I am." Y/N chuckled at Jeongin's facial expression, and they went to pay for their food together at the counter before they walked out of the convenience store together.

"I don't really want to go home yet," Jeongin admitted, sighing. "How about we go and hang out around the park for a little bit? That way we can spend some more time together."

Y/N chuckled and immediately agreed to the idea, nodding her head. "That sounds like a great idea, Jeongin. Let's do it."

"Perfect, let's go." Jeongin smiled in triumph and led her to a nearby park. The lamp post lights of the park were extremely dim, most likely since the light hasn't been replaced for quite a long time. The park and play structures of the park were deserted, considering that it was a late hour of the night.

Jeongin sat down at a park table and unwrapped his curry, beginning to eat it eagerly. Y/N chuckled as she watched him and began to eat her own food. She couldn't help but admire Jeongin the more they spent time together.

Y/N gently reached across the table to hold Jeongin's hand and she gave him a small smile as her fingers entangled his. Jeongin chuckled to himself and gave her a sweet smile, squeezing his palm against hers.

Y/N ate her own food and enjoyed the comfortable silence that ensued between her and Jeongin. They didn't need to talk to feel comforted or enjoy each other's presence. Whenever Y/N was with Jeongin, all of her worries disappeared.

"I love you, Y/N." Jeongin suddenly confessed with a shy smile. "I know we said we'd save all that romantic mushy stuff for later, but I thought I should let you know."

Y/N's cheeks were now aflame and she smiled at Jeongin's words. She was truly on Cloud 9, and she couldn't help but feel lucky that she had fallen for such a kind and sweet boy.

After finishing their meals, Jeongin walked Y/N home, his hand still holding hers throughout the entirety of the walk. Once they reached the porch of Y/N's house, he let go of her hand hesitantly and gave her a weary smile.

Jeongin looked down at her and leaned down to gently press his lips against her forehead. "Goodnight, Y/N. I love you."

Y/N chuckled, shaking her head. "What happened to save kissing for later?"

"I can't help myself, you're too beautiful to resist." Jeongin smiled shyly and scratched the back of his neck.

Y/N laughed and pulled Jeongin into a short embrace before letting him go. "Goodnight, Jeongin. I love you, too. Get home safely."

Y/N entered her house after bidding Jeongin farewell. Her love for Yang Jeongin was growing by the day.
