533 Words
you know you're getting slightly comfortable with someone when you use capitalized letters, emojis became daily treats, late reply were okay, and punctuation was no longer a matter.
as for jeongguk, those four were happening in between him and nara, but the late reply part was still bothering him. he was afraid if nara actually didn't feel comfortable by his presence.
JEONGGUK:
nARA!!
sent, 1:40 PM.
as per usual, it took nara quite long to finally reply his text. although this time was not so long ― only late by an hour which was a record. usually she would reply three hours after.
NARA:
hello hello jeongguk!
the not-so-late reply made him smile a little bit. after all, jeongguk was planning to tell his feelings today. an impulsive and might be a daring decision, but he rather let it out than keeping it. whether the outcome would be great or not, he would continue to fight for whom he likes.
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

NARA:

NARA:

actually it was a lie. he excused himself to the restroom so he could reply her texts.
NARA:

NARA:

JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

after making a final decision. he felt his lungs had stopped functioning for a few seconds. a tad embarrassed.
NARA:

NARA:

JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

NARA:

jeongguk scratched his nape nervously, suddenly felt his stomach contents twirling around inside, felt like a heavy weight was placed above his chest. fingers began sweating while typing the reply.
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:
i think i began to believe in love at first sight.
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:
your laughs, voice, eyes, all about you are alluring.
JEONGGUK:

JEONGGUK:

NARA:

NARA:

NARA:

NARA:

NARA:
besides, we haven't known each other for too long to start something.
NARA:

his smile dropped, frown dawned upon his face, thought clouding.
JEONGGUK:
ehh it's alright!!
JEONGGUK:

of course, he's not giving up yet.
NARA:
