IRIS | Na Jaemin

Jaemin Na

"It's fine."

Her hands stopped from cleaning.

That voice. it can't be.

Two words were enough for her to recognize that voice. It's like cold water was poured at her, her soul dropped and she cannot move...she wanted to look up so badly to confirm it, but was she ready? what if her mind was only playing tricks on her?

Could it be??

Jeno ran towards the two, immediately helping in picking up the shattered glasses. He was nervous in all honesty.

By now, some of the elders including Jaehyun, Taeyong, and Jungwoo were downstairs, as well as the dream members who heard the incident. All looking at the two in anticipation.

Of course they knew their relationship, they knew who Iris is as they've seen her photos in Jaemin's room, and they recently knew her as Jaehyun's younger sister.

Iris tried so hard to not cry, feeling overwhelmed all of a sudden. She wanted to look up so bad, could it be finally him? but if it is him, was she ready to face him? what is she to say? was she mad? was she still in love with him? she wanted to walk away, but she knew she'll regret it if she does. So with all the remaining courage she has, she looked at him.

Those brown eyes...

Oh how Jaemin missed those. The same pair he loved getting lost in to, the very same pair he wished to see every morning when he wakes up, the same pair he used to drown in as he stared at her with nothing but love.

Her voice resonated through his ears. Even after a year, still a voice of an angel.

With hesitation, she called out his name.

"Nana?"

Everyone can hear it. the longing. the sadness. her nervous state as she waited patiently for the boy to confirm her thoughts.

"Excuse me?" He voiced out.

Her brows contorted into confusion as she realized what he just said. She saw it in his eyes, he was just as confused as she is. Standing straight as she looked straight at him.

"Nana Lim. Y- you're Nana" she voiced out as a whisper, suddenly feeling double the nervousness as she might be wrong about this boy in front of her.

But the boy did not falter. Standing his own ground as he looked straight to her eyes. Thinking he might regret his decision later on. With a stoic face, he answered.

"I'm Jaemin Na. and I don't know what you're talking about." were the only response she got before he excused himself, slightly bumping his shoulder to hers due to the given space. Disregarding all the disappointed eyes thrown his way.

He saw Jaehyun, and he could only do a small bow as a sign that he acknowledged his presence.

Iris let go of the breath she was holding. What just happened. She thought. A minute ago she was pretty sure she heard his voice. It was him. Only to be disappointed in the end.

Jeno could see her shaking hands, probably because of the nerves kicking in. She was stuck in her place, unmoving.

"Here, let me grab these." He said as he took some big pieces of broken glass from her hands before throwing it on the bin.
