Mystic Life (Saeyoung X Reader)

Chapter 19: Car Ride

You and Seven sat in the car in a comfortable silence, well at least for you.

"I don't know if I should scold you for not listening to me or laugh about the situation." He said randomly.

"Laugh?" You suggested while shrugging your shoulders.

You couldn't help but smile at him. It just felt right, he usually gave off this bight and happy feeling that just makes you want to laugh and smile and joke around and...

It felt nice.

You thought about this while looking at seven but quickly turned away when you noticed you were starring.

Now it was Seven who was looking at your flustered face and couldn't help but smile.

"Just this once, I'll let it slide okay y/n?" He loved being able to say your name, if it weren't for him not wanting to weird you out, he would say your name a million times and never get tired.

"By the way...what happened today?" He asked, keeping his gaze on the road in front of him.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" You tried to avoid the question.

"I mean you looked...like you were sad..." Seven was bad at this. He really didn't know how to go about situations like this.

"Sad? Oh, um, no....I'm fine." You said trying to convince him.

"Come on Y/n don't give me that 'I'm fine' crap." He said seriously. You flinched slightly hearing him curse.

"*Sigh* I got a call from my friend...that's all." Was all you wanted to answer. You looked out your window to signal that the topic would end here.

"Alright, I won't keep bothering you with this but, I just want you to know that you can talk to me when you need someone." You looked back at him and smiled at his kindness.

"Thanks, Saeyoung." Seven felt his heart skip a beat. It's been so long since the last time someone called him by his real name. "Wait that is your name right? I just thought it was since in the game..."

"Haha, yeah it is."

"Alright then. Mind if I call you by your real name from now on?" You asked.

"Yeah, I would really like that." He looked at you with adoring eyes.

After a  few minutes passed, you looked at him and started laughing. Saeyoung kept glancing at you with a confused expression on his face making you laugh harder.

It was music to his ears.

He slowly joined you and the car filled with laughter and joy. Once it started dying down, Saeyoung asked you.

"What's so funny?" Now he tried to keep his eyes on the road.

"All of this!" You leaned on the dashboard and watched the scenery pass by. "Everything up to now. It's like something you would take out of a movie or a book."

"Is that a good thing?" He waited for your answer.

"It's amazing." Saeyoung kept looking back at you and started sliding his hand off the wheel and over to your hand.

"Oh!" You sat up, startling him and placing both hands back on the wheel. "I've got an idea." You started taking out your phone. "Mind if I put some music?" Saeyoung breathed a chuckle.

"Not at all." You connected your phone to the car and just put the last song you were listening to. It was a calm and sweet song, one you really loved.

"Do you want me to change the song?" You asked wanting him to enjoy the music too.

"Huh? Oh, no it's fine. I've never heard it but....I kinda like it.." Saeyoung listened to the lyrics as he drove down the highway. You leaned back in your seat and hummed a bit to the beat and slowly started singing along.
