Chapter 7

CHAEYOUNG

Jimin and I started to date secretly. Though it was hard for us to hide things from our friends--especially to my best friend Lisa, but we need to keep it mum 'coz they might start to tease us endlessly.

We would go on secret dates together and it was kinda fun. We rode the bicycle at Han River with masks on. I dyed my hair black so that I could blend in. We even went to Namsan Tower on our 100th day.

"So Lisa will be released from the hospital soon?" Jimin asked. We're currently cuddling inside my room. It was a perfect place to hide since my roommate was Lisa and she's currently in the hospital with her boyfriend, Jungkook.

"De. Sometime this week. Wae?" I faced him. This Mochi is so cute I can't help but cling on him.

"Would it be possible for Lisa to stay in the hopital with Kookie if I accidentally break his arm?"

"Ya!" I gently slapped him on his shoulder. "You're such a evil person!"

"But I'm gonna miss sleeping next to you..." Jimin pouted and it was the most adorable thing in the world. "Shall we move out of the dorms and get our own apartment instead?"

"Are you asking me to move in with you?" He grew silent. "Mochi?"

"Maybe I am..." Then he looked at me. "When are we gonna tell them?"

"I don't know... They might tease us so much..."

It's not that we're hiding it 100%. We just didn't tell them that we're already in a relationship. We're also very subtle when it comes to being sweet out in the public.

Jimin sighed. I looked at him warrily. Is he upset?

"Do you want to tell them?"

"Of course," he said. "They're our friends. Plus, I want to date you freely."

I sighed. I really want to. Jinja. But if many people knows about our relationship, my daddy might found out.

"Chim... even if they know, we still can't go out on dates freely 'coz daddy might found out..."

My dad--though very sweet and charming, doesn't allow us (my sister and I) to date 'til we graduate college. He said we might lose focus or something.

"Fine."

But he didn't look fine. He was all pouty and stuff. So, I kissed his cheek.

"Don't be mad, oppa. Once I graduate next year, we can date freely."

He sighed and kissed me on my forehead. I looked up at him and smiled. He then leaned in to catch my lips.

"Oppa..."

"I think I'm addicted to your lips, Park Chaeyoung..."

He kissed my lips sweetly.

"Nado..."

He kissed me again. At first it was sweet and gentle. Then it intensified. It got deeper and more... daring. A part of me wanted to stop because it might get too far but, a greater part doesn't want to.

"I'm home!"

I bolted up and accidentally pushed Jimin off the bed. I looked over the door. Was that Lisa just now?

'Ya! I thought she was coming home this afternoon?' Jimin whispered.

'That's what I thought too!' I whispered back.

'What are we going to do?!' I panicked.

I looked around. Right! I immediately pointed at the window.

'Mwo?! Do you want me to die?!'

'We don't have any choice!' I opened the window. We were already standing beside it.

'Just tell her you needed company.'

'Are you crazy? You're in my room, pabo-ya!'

"Jisoo unnie? Jennie unnie?"

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Jimin and I looked at each other.

'Go!'

'Are you crazy?!'

'She'll catch us!'

"Chaengie? Are you there?"

'Pretend you're not here Chae!' Jimin suggested. I nodded.

"Maybe they all went out," a guys voice--I'm sure it's Kookie, said.

"I texted them that I'll be home today..."

"You can stay over at our place for the time being."

"Arasso."

Then I heard footsteps away from the room. I let out a sigh of relief.

'That was clo--'

"I'll drop this off my room first--"

'Ya!' I panicked and pushed Jimin towards off window. Good thing he landed on the bushes beneath.

'Mianhe!' I mouthed.

"Chaeng?" Lisa said as she entered the room. I turned towards her immediately. "You're here! I was screaming my lungs out here but you didn't even answer."

"A-Ah, mian! I didn't hear you. My earphones were plugged in so I didn't hear you."

Lisa's forehead creased. She was about to say something when Jungkook suddenly appeared behind her.

"The hyungs said we can hangout--oh hi Rosé. I thought no one's around..."

"Her earphones were plugged in so she didn't hear me," Lisa explained on my behalf but I could sense sarcasm in her tone.

"Ah, jinja?" The guy smiled and took the duffle bag from my best friend's hand and put it on her bed. "You still coming over?"

"Yea, sure." Lisa looked at me like I didn something bad or something. "You coming with us, Chaengie?"

"Y-Yeah, sure!" I scrambled towards them and grabbed my phone lying on my bed. I also saw Jimin's phone peaking from my pillow.

It was a good thing Lisa was facing her boyfriend. So as we walked outside our room, I made up an excuse to go back.

"U-Um wait here. I'll just go back to our room for a bit. I forgot to turn off the AC."

Lisa nodded and went down the stairs. I ran towards the room and grabbed Jimin's phone and hid it in my pocket.

As we went out the house, we saw Jennie and Jisoo walking towards us.

"Lisa! I thought you were coming back in the afternoon?" Jisoo asked.

"It's already one in the afternoon, unnie," she replied. "We're gonna hang out next door. Wanna come?"

"Sure," the two answered.

"Jin's making some Gamjatang to celebrate--Jimin?!" I froze. They all looked behind me. "What happened to you?!"

"Uh, I fell."

Okay. Guilt striked. I slowly turned around and gasped.

Jimin looked like a mess. His hair tossled, some small scratches on his face and grazed arm. Not to mention he's walking funny.

My poor mochi.

"G-Gwenchana?" He looked at me and glared. Guilt. Guilt. Guilt. But he smiled.

"I'm fine. I just fell on the bike, that's all."

But with his tone, he's not. He looked pissed.

"There's a first aid kit back in the dorm. Kaja. Better prepare for Jin hyung's nagging."

They all turned towards the house next door but I went to his side and helped him walk.

"Mianhe oppa..." I whispered. "Jeongmal mianhe."

I put his arm around my shoulder for support. That gave him the chance to pull me closer to him. He whispered.

"I'm expecting one hot make out session after this, Park Chaeyoung. And I'm not taking no for an answer."

I gulped.

But I'm excited.
