BETWEEN US || STRAY KID'S HWANG HYUNJIN

26

[AERI'S POV]

it has been about two weeks since hyunjin and i started dating.

time passes by so quickly whenever i'm with him, it feels like it hasn't even been a week.

things have been going great between the two of us, we went on lots of dates and yup, hyunjin is still not sick of kissing.

he's a lot more vocal about his feelings now compared to before, which i'm so grateful for.

all our classmates know we're dating now, most were supportive. most.

i guess some girls and some guys thought they had a chance with hyunjin and i.

we're now hanging out at felix's house.

some of the boys are playing games and the rest are sleeping.

chan and yoojung are watching a movie and hyunjin and i are just cuddling on the couch.

i laid my head on his lap while he stroked my hair.

he looked at me lovingly, "you're gorgeous."

"yes hyunjin, you've been constantly telling me that the past 2 weeks." i sighed, laughing.

"incase you forgot." he smiled, poking my cheeks.

"by the way, should we tell our parents about our relationship soon?" he suddenly asked, getting serious.

"isn't it too soon?" i sat up.

"i mean, we'll have to tell them sooner or later. it's either now or when we ask them for marriage approval." hyunjin shrugged.

i laughed sarcastically, hitting his chest. "stop joking."

"whaat? i'm not joking. i'm planning on making you my wife when we're older." he started pouting, placing his hand on his chest where i hit him.

"who says i'll agree to being your wife?" i smiled teasingly, shrugging.

he gasped in shock, sulking. "are you planning to marry some other guy??"

"maaaaybe." i further teased.

he started leaning closer to me, causing me to lean backwards onto the couch.

i ended up getting pinned down by hyunjin.

he came so close our lips were almost touching but before they could touch, he started tickling my sides.

great, he remembered that i was ticklish.

i let out a small shriek because of his unexpected action, squirming around trying to escape but he held me down, tickling me harder.

"hyunjin!! AHAHA– stopp!– HAHAHA it tickles!!! i'll be your wife!!" i screamed in desperation.

he knows my weakness huh.

"that's what i thought." he smiled contently, getting off me.

"but all jokes aside, i think i'll tell my parents today. they already like you a lot so it'll be fine." hyunjin said.

"are you sure? i'm a little scared."

what if they make us break up...?

"of course. didn't you see how much my mom liked you when you two first met?" hyunjin reassured me.

"okay then.. i'll tell my parents today too." i said.

my parents are usually very supportive of whatever i do so i'm not too worried about their response.
