Insecurities (Jay enhypen)

_7_

After the party, Jay and Dea got close. They would walk with each other to class without bickering and actually enjoying each other's company. They are now sitting at a lunch table waiting for the rest of the group to come.

'Where do you get your accessories?' Asks Dea looking at Jay's rings.
'I just go around the mall and buy anything I like. Why'd you ask?'
'I want to buy new rings. Kind of bored of mine's.'
'Where did you get them?'
'Most of them are gifts from my aunts and some I stole from my sister, which are, again, gifts.'
'I can go to the mall with you if you want.' Jay says.
'You will?' Dea says, Jay nods his head. 'Great!' Happily exclaims Dea. Jay chuckles at her reaction.

'What is so great?' Says Yoonah sitting down next to Dea. The rest of the group joins them too.
'Jay is gonna help out to find new ring. You guys want to come?'
'I'm in.' Says Sunoo smiling.
'Me too.' Says Dallia.
'Me three.' Says Ni-ki.
'Wait...wait. Jay is gonna help you out? I know you guys were in better terms, but...' Says Yoonah.
'I was wondering the same thing. What happened?' Asks Jungwon. Dea and Jay shrug.

'I smell something fishy.' Says Jake.
'What?' Jay and Dea say at the same time.
'Are you guys...?' Jake says wiggling his eyebrows, earning a slap on the arm from Jay.
'What? I was just asking.' Says Jake.
'Oh, god...' Says Dea. 'We just grew up.'
'Sure...'Says Ni-ki in a sarcastic tone. 'In just a couple of weeks.'
'Why can't they? They don't have to date or like each other in that way to make up.' Says Dallia.
'Thank you!' Dea exclaims.
'But still, what made you make up?' Asks Dallia.
'I guess, we didn't used to talk. At Heeseung's we talked and turns out she's not that bad.' Says Jay looking at Dea and smiling. Dea smiles back and she feels her heart flutter, but she doesn't pay any attention to it.
