Seventeen Imagines

Cherry Blossom - Woozi

"You know, I really like cherry blossoms. And you're like a cherry blossom to me." Jihoon said in a smooth and slow voice.

I shook my head.

"Areum isn't going to buy that, it was too much at once." I said.

Jihoon let out a flustered sigh and flopped down on the grass.

"Cut me some slack, y/n! I've never asked anyone out before, or even flirted for that matter!" He said.

"I have! Totally.. That's why I'm trying to help you. And a girl wouldn't like that, at least not in my opinion." I said.

"Well, you don't know what Areum likes! She could like that.." He protested back.

"But, consider this possibility. What if she doesn't like it, finds you weird, then never pays attention to your existence again? Think about that." I said.

"Y/n! Just help me think of something good. I only have a few hours until I tell her.." he said, pouting.

"Fine, but you owe me." I said.

"Owe you what?" He asked.

"I don't know yet. But don't waste time, start thinking!" I said.

We spent the next hour trying to think of something smooth yet subtle. Nothing..

"Are you sure you're trying? Usually you can come up with these kinds of things in no time." He said.

"I don't know why.. I've never helped someone ask out someone else before." I said.

He sighed and looked up at the sky, gazing over the clouds.

As he was doing this, I got way too lost in my thoughts.

I really don't want him to confess to Areum.. I can't understand why. I just have a bad feeling she won't treat him right. She's a straight up bitch. She could reject him for all I know.. Or maybe if she likes him, she'll treat him properly. I just don't want him to get hurt because of her.

I never even told him what happened between me and her.. I don't want him to think I'm trying to stop him from confessing because I'm being a jealous bitch, or spoil his first time confessing to someone he really likes, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

I'll just try to help him. If anything goes wrong and he ends up getting hurt, I'll resist he urges to kick someone's ass and comfort him. As if I could fight in the first place..

I kept thinking and thinking, yet nothing came to my mind.. I put my hand up to my head and sighed. I felt sick..

"Jihoon. I can't think of anything." I said.

"I can't either." He said.

"Your cherry blossom thing you said earlier, can't you revise that?" I asked.

"I don't know a different way to word it." He said.

"Repeat it, I'll try to think of something." I said.

He thought for a moment the exact words he said, then he recited them.

"You know, I really like cherry blossoms. And you're like a cherry blossom to me." He said.

I felt a little rush when he finished the words. I knew he didn't mean it towards me, but.. I'd like to believe he did.

"O-Okay.." I started, "how about.. You really remind me of cherry blossoms, and I really like cherry blossoms..?" I said stupidly.

That wasn't any better, ugh..

Jihoon's face lit up.

"That was good! I love it even more than what I said. Thanks y/n, I know she won't reject me now, thanks to you!" He said, crashing into me for a hug.
