PRINCE charming would've rode on a horse to find Cinderella, but jaemin doesn't have a horse. Instead, his chauffeur drove him around town, going to every house to find Yerin.

"Hi do you-"

"OMG IT'S NA JAEMIN! DID YOU COME HERE TO FIND ME?"

"Uh...no. I wanted to ask if you had seen a girl named Cha Yerin?"

Jaemin tried not to roll his eyes at every delusional lady he met, but he couldn't help but tilt his head just to avoid getting caught rolling his eyes.

Maybe she isn't at home right now?

He even had butlers go up to each level of apartment buildings to ask around, but they returned with nothing.

He came to one of the last few units in within the area the invitation was sent to. He knocked on the door as an unfamiliar lady opened it.

"You're Jaemin right? What are you here for?"

The lady had a sweet smile on her face, she looked pretty young too.

"Do you know who's Cha Yerin?"

"Yerin? How do you know her?"

"She came to the party."

"sHE wHAT?"

The lady opened the door for jaemin to enter and led him to the living room, pouring a cup of water for him.

"Yerin is at her part time job right now so I'll call her."

The lady whipped out her phone and called who jaemin assumed was Yerin.

Jaemin was quietly sipping his water until the lady started screaming.

"CHA YERIN YOU BETTER COME HOME RIGHT THIS INSTANT. JAEMIN IS WAITING FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO."

Her sudden outburst made jaemin's heart speed up as his body tensed. The lady crossed her arms and puffed out air, seemingly frustrated. There was a layer of awkward silence, and jaemin felt uncomfortable.

" So uh, are you Yerin's sister?"

" No, I'm Yerin's best friend, Soojin. I went to your party too but that was only because Renjun was there."

Jaemin's eyes widened.

"Ohh, so you're renjun's girlfriend?"

Soojin only nodded in reply. There was a click coming from the door and Yerin could be seen. Her heart beat quickened at the sight of Jaemin.

"Hey Soojin, H-hey jaemin."

Jaemin's cheeks turned pink as he hung his head, not wanting Yerin to notice him blushing.

"Before you guys carry on with whatever jaemin was here for, I need an explanation from you, young lady."

Soojin said sternly.

"Well... I snuck in last night to uh steal some food? And jaemin saw me and didn't mind so he ended up giving me a room and letting me eat all the food."

Jaemin nodded at Soojin. She rubbed her temples and frustration.

"I swear you and your love for food can drive you to your grave. Whatever, I'm going back to my room."

Soojin stood up and walked back, leaving the awkward pair alone.

"I uh, came to return your chopsticks."

Jaemin slid the chopsticks out of his pocket and passed it to Yerin. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow, as if saying "that's all you came here for?"

Jaemin cleared his throat and added,

"I also wanted to see you once again."

The blush on Yerin's face made him feel satisfied. Yerin's lips naturally formed a pout, something she'd do whenever she felt flustered, Jaemin found it cute.

"A-also..."

Jaemin bit his lips. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but the doubt in him held him back.

"C-Can I say what I want to say first?"

Yerin suddenly said, making Jaemin feel a slight sense of relief.

"I...I like you."

Jaemin could hear his heart beating, Yerin could hear hers beating. Jaemin leaned closer to Yerin, and before they even knew it.

Their lips connected. And so did their hearts.
