Forever Waiting (Kim Jonghyun x reader)

Chapter 9: ♫ Wonderful Confession ♫

A/N: short I know and sorry for the long breaks but I'm working on the next part now, I have some good ideas for this FIC so bare with me :)

I was so glad prom was on the last day considering we had a month off. Meaning I can avoid Taemin, Micha, Minho, Key, Onew and him.

The next day I remained in bed curled under my duvet, I didn't want to get up or do anything at all. I knew Micha was probably going to come and visit considering she has key but till then I remained in my bed trying to forget what happened last night. 'Why do you have to do that when I was learning to get over you? It's not fair' I was too absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't hear someone entering my house until I felt a dip in the bed and a hand on my shoulder from above my duvet.

Out of instinct I sat up straight and whacked the hand away "ah sorry Micha Unnie..." I said quietly and looked back down when I saw her but I heard footsteps, causing me to look up to see Taemin entering with a sheepish smile. I looked back down as the guilt hit me. I know we aren't together but he was my date for prom and instead of kissing him I ended up kissing him. I closed my eyes tight when I felt the brim of my eyes water "I-I'm s-sorry about L-last night..." I whispered out as I hung my head low.

I didn't hear a reply but instead I felt the bed dip again. Hesitantly I looked up to see a soft smile on his face. Without warning he brought me in a warm hug "it's okay [y/n] , I know you have a crush on Jonghyun hyung and I probably just pushed you too much to go to prom with me when you probably just wanted to stay home or stay with Micha and I'm sorry about that...and I know what happened last night but I'm not blaming you for it. If it was my crush I'd probably do the same" Taemin let out a soft laugh and pulled away to look at me. I looked up at him and even though he was laughing his eyes seemed so sad - hurt even. "Anyway Micha told me how you're trying to get over him and I want to say one thing..." Taemin started to play with his fingers as he looked down. He seemed nervous. But why? I peered at him and soon he took a deep breath before continuing. He looked up to look at me directly in the eyes "I.. I like you...I've liked you for a while and I know you can't return my feelings but I'll wait for you... I can wait forever for you" Taemin confessed "I can help you get over him..."

My eyes were wide 'he likes me? Me out of all people?'. All I could do was stare at him as I processed everything he said. 'It won't hurt giving him a chance right? He's always so sweet, kind caring and he actually like me...'

"Ah you don't have to reply now I just wanted to tell you" Taemin smiled softly and stood up but before he could leave I grabbed his wrist.

"A-ah you're going to have to give me time but.. I-I'd like to give you a chance... J-just I need time..." I said quietly as I looked down.

Taemin nodded "o-of course! Take all the time you need" I didn't have to look up to know he was grinning from ear to ear "ah I'll see you guys around? I need to go to my dance practice"

I nodded "see you around."

Taemin bid both of us farewell before leaving. The room was silent afterwards. After a few moments I heard Micha speak "sorry for bringing Taemin, he wanted to come so bad to see you after what Jonghyun said, he wasn't going to take no as an answer"

I smiled softly "it's okay.. He cheered me up a bit..."

"[y/n]? How are you? Honestly?" Micha asked softly as she rubbed my arm softly.

"Awful, terrible and like I betrayed someone even though I'm not the one that cheated" I said quietly as I kept my eyes down. I could feel tears well up in my eyes again.

I felt Micha's arms wrap around me tightly causing me to shed my tears "w-why'd he d-do it? Why w-when he h-has a g-girlfriend that...that he's h-head over heels with? Why M-Micha?" I cried out as I buried my face in her shoulders.

Jonghyun's POV
"Have you told her?" I stared at Kibum who's eyes were staring straight into my eyes.

"N-no I haven't... I don't know how to... And I don't want to lose her..." I replied as I took a sip of my drink.

"If you didn't want to lose her why did you kiss [y/n]?" Kibum asked bluntly.

"I don't know it was just in the moment okay?"
I sighed in exasperation.

"Just in the moment?" Kibum raised a eyebrow.

"Yes. Just in the moment." I sighed as I looked down at my drink.

"Okay... Have fun explaining it to her because here she comes, good luck" Kibum stood up and patted my shoulder before greeting Siran then leaving 'why did I kiss her?'
