Chapter 37 - Getting to know each other.

Kai's POV

"What?!" We both shouted at the same time. The shock on my face could perfectly mirrored the one on hers. She narrowed her eyes at the HunHan duo that were celebrating as if they won a lottery.

"Why me?!" I blurted out. She looked at my direction with confusion on her face and turned back at Sehun.

"Yeah Why him?"

"Don't ask questions. Just do it" A smirking Luhan answered as he hi fived with Xiumin hyung, Chanyeol,Kris, Sehun,Chen, Baekhyun and Tao

Don't tell me they're in this too.

"But--" she was about to reason but Sehun cut her off with a teasing smirk.

"Do that or play the pepero stick challenge with him"

She shut her mouth at this and sighed.

"That's what I thought"

The guys moved towards the room we are supposedly going to stay for 7 minutes.
It wasn't really that much time but seeing as I'm going to be in the same room as JinHee. Its probably going to be the Longest 7 minutes of my life.

[JinHee's POV]

I frowned as the guys moved towards the room we were going to stay for the next 7 minutes.

"This is insane" I heard Jongin mumbled beside me to the boys. It wasn't really audible but it was loud enough for me to know that he's not excited about this.

We entered the room and the scent of Jongin and what smelt like Sehun whiffed past my nose. My heart was beating thunderously against my chest as I inhaled the Toxicating scent.

I had my eyes closed as I bathed in the addicting Scent. I was snapped out of my trance when Luhan touched me.

"Don't mess this up" he whispered as the rest of the guys left.

I rolled my eyes at his stupid match -making plan.

After I acknowledged the fact that I liked Jongin, Luhan entered into his match -making mode. He is so set on Jongin and I dating. I had told him that it wasn't necessary and that Jongin won't ever feel the same way for him but he rolled his eyes and told that what I was thinking was "bullshit", that Jongin and I are going to date each other and he's going to make sure of that.

Frankly, I was kinda happy that I had someone rooting for me with jongin but I was even happier when I heard that the other boys were in this too. This had made me wondered what I did in the past that made me deserve them.

I told my self that if at the end of Luhan's plan -which he still doesn't want to tell me about- I don't get Jongin to like me back, I'll give up and go with what fate got installed for me.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt someone's hands on my shoulders. I looked up to be met with the warm chocolate eyes of Sehun.

"We'll be counting" he smirked and moved towards the door.

"Don't mess this up Kai" he turned and said to Jongin as he went out. Seconds later, I heard the door locking sound.

I furrowed my brows at Jongin asking what Sehun meant internally, but the latter only shrugged and sat down at the other side of the King size bed.

"Have fun you two!" Someone's voice that sounded that Baekhyun shouted from outside as he banged on the door.

Kai rolled his eyes and moved towards the wardrobe while I stood there awkwardly like a potato.

He flung open the doors of the wardrobe and brought out a tank top. Seeing as it Was his room, he moved comfortably around it.

I was wondering what he was going to do with the piece of clothing in his hands when he took of his coat, then his blazers leaving him on with a shirt.

My cheeks got warm and my eyes widened as he proceeded to take off the shirt. I caught a glimpse of his bare back and I choked out.

"Y-y-yah w-what are y-you doing?"

Damn you Jinhee, why the hell are you stuttering?.

He turned towards me with widened eyes. He's probably forgotten I was in the room as well. His shock expression slowly turned into a sexy smirk that sent shivers up my spine.

"Why JinHee?--" he said huskily as he strode towards me with dark eyes and a smirk that didn't fail to leave his plumb kissable lips.

Okay JinHee get your shit together.

This is a side of Jongin I've never seen.

I gulped as I watch him walk towards me with peering eyes.

He slowly walked towards me and I mirrored his actions as I did the opposite. He moved forwards and I moved backwards. This repeated until I felt my back hit something. The door. I was trapped.

"Is seeing my body making you hot?" He was looking intently at me. I felt really small under his gaze but, I gathered my senses together and looked up at him - bad move- cause his face was so close to mine that I could feel his hot breath fan my face.

My face got warm as I looked back
into his eyes that were looking at me.
His eyes moved down to my lips and I internally gasped.

I-is h-he going to kiss me?

"I-I--" I stuttered. He looked back up at me and flash of hurt passed through his eyes and he backed away.

"I'm Sorry" he apologized and moved back towards the bed side.

I blinked as I tried to comprehend what just happened. My heart was beating crazily and I was sure I was as red as a tomato.

Did Jongin just do that?

"You might want to turn around" his voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up and he had the other tank in his hands as he looked at me.
"I want to change"

"Oh" I blushed and turned around not before catching a glimpse of his abs.

Oh my holy mother of abs! They look so solid and hot.

"There. Done." I rubbed my cheeks in an attempt to cool it down.

"You can turn around now" I complied and turned around. Bad move cause he was standing undeniably close to me again.

My breath hitched and I choked out;

"K-kai--" he smirked and moved away. He sat at one end of the bed and gestured for Me to sit beside him.

I blinked as I comprehend what was happening.

He knew I was getting flustered because of him. He knows so damn well and He is enjoying it.

I composed my self and sat few meters away from him. We sat there in silence as I looked around the room.

"Oh" I mumbled softly as I noticed the White couch in the room. The Room was large with a small Table and chair, a king sized bed, a bathroom and a wardrobe. My eyes trailed to the wall clock and I noticed that it hasn't been up to 4 minutes.

"So---" Jongin spoke up snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at him and blinked as he was already staring at me.

"Let's play a game" I raised my brows surprised that Jongin was suggesting this.

"What game?" I asked as I sat properly on the bed- Jongin's bed.

A blush crept on my cheeks as I realized that I was literally sitting on Jongin's bed. My hands caressed the soft material of his bed sheet and a smile tugged on my lips. It was a like dream come true.

"The twenty-one questions game" Jongin said snapping me out from my thoughts.
"Are you okay?" He asked. "Why is your face red?" He stretched his hands towards my forehead but before I could ask what he was doing, he withdrew it and clenched his fist.

"I-i'm o-okay" I choked out. "Its just too hot in here "

"Really?" He looked at me in disbelief.

"Yes. Really"

"Oh" he stood up and grabbed the A/C remote and switched it on. He sat back down and the only sound I could hear was the soft humming of the A/C.

"So--" I trailed off and he looked at me.
"What's this 20 whatever game about?" I asked as I loosened my ponytails. I brushed my hair with my fingers and tied it up in a messy bun.

"Its twenty -one questions actually and its a game where two people ask questions to get to know each other more" he explained.

My heart skipped at the "get to know each other" part. So does this means he actually want to get to know more about me?.

"G-get to know each other?" I confirmed.

"Yes. You know. To know more about you, since we are kind of ---"

"Okay" I didn't want to hear the rest. The fact that he wants to know more about me was enough. The fluttering feeling in my chest was enough reason for me to know that I was madly and deeply in love with him.

"Yeah. So I'm going to start" I gestured for him to go on.

"what's your full name?" I looked at him in shock.

"Lee Jaden JinHee"

"Jaden" he repeated softly sending shivers down my spine.

"Oh so that's why Chanyeol hyung calls you Jay" he nodded as if he just found out a big secret. I couldn't help but smile.

"Yes"

"Okay. So now your turn"

"Your full name is Kim Jongin"

"Yes. But Where's the question in that?" He raised his brows at me playfully and I sent him a glare.

"Okay. Okay" he raised his hands up in defeat. "Your turn".

"When's your birthday?"

"14th January"

"Oh okay, your turn"

"You're birthday?"

"15th March"

"Your favourite colour?"

"Black" he sent Me a proud look and flipped my invisible hair with my tongue stuck out.

"You?"

"Red Black and red".

I made sure to store that in my memory.

"Okay. Favourite food?"

"Anything that isn't spicy" I gave him a weird look.

"What?. Spicy foods are scary"

"How can you not like spicy foods? they're the best!" I shouted.

"Oh the Spiciness of Jjambbong, Buldak--" I did weird silly hand gestures,

"oh the jjajamyeon, Ddeolbokki, galbijjim! Oh my lord I'm salivating already!" I wiped my imaginary drool.

Jongin rolled his eyes at me but he couldn't help but smile as he watched me gulped at my imagination.

"Cute" he muttered under his breath. I wasn't supposed to hear it but I did and my heart did a silly jump. I could feel my cheeks getting warm.

I fake coughed and composed my self.
"So Your turn" I said with a poker face but inwardly I was bursting with feels.

Jongin just called me cute.

He thinks I'm cute.

He thinks I'm cute.

I think I'm going to die anytime soon.

" so uhm... W-what's your ideal type?"
I was shocked at his question that my eyes were as widened as saucers.

"Why do you look so shocked?" He chuckled at my reaction.

"You don't have one?" He asked shocked when he saw that I wasn't laughing with him.

"N-no I haven't t-thought of that " I answered honestly with flushed cheeks.

He was looking at me with an emotion I couldn't comprehend.
"Seriously?" He asked and I nodded shyly.

"Okay. What do you like in A boy. Like what do your first notice?"

"Uh. It depends though but I like boys with dyed hairc--" my eyes subconsciously trailed to his natural black hair and I furiously shook my head "cross that out, it isn't valid".

He chuckled and ran his hands through his hair making my breath hitch.

"Okay I'll ask again. Have you ever had a boyfriend?" I choked on my saliva.

He raised his brows at me as I furiously coughed and handed me a glass of water that was on the table courtesy of D.O and Suho that had endeavoured to bring snacks and water for us 'in case we grew hungry'. That was proof that we weren't going to stay here for just 7 minutes.

I collected the water and gulped it down in one shot.

"Boyfriend?!"

"Yeah. Boyfriend. " he answered as he collected the cup and dropped it back on the tray.

"You don't know what that is? " he asked. I opened my mouth and closed it back as I gave him a weird look.

"You know when a girl has someone that loves her, showers her with kisses--" he looked at my lips and I blushed, "--every day, proves to her how much he loves her, tell her how beautiful she is when she's blushing. Is officially hers and she's officially his. Boyfriend"

I blinked and suddenly grew shy as he looked softly at me. My mind was telling me to read in between the lines but I pushed the thoughts back. The fact that Jongin and i were talking comfortably to each other now was enough for me - For now.

"I know what Boyfriend is dumbass" I rolled my eyes at him, he gave me a smile and I mirrored his action.

"but I haven't ever had one"

"Really?" He asked with widened eyes.

"Yes"

"Oh. Okay"

"Yeah"

He mumbled something which I didn't hear under his breath and i raised my brows at him.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"Oh. Nothing!" He answered quickly. Too quickly for me to comprehend that what he said wasn't intended for Me to hear so I kept quiet and shrugged it off.

"So its my turn now right?" He nodded his head.

"What's your ideal type and have you ever had a girlfriend?" I asked as I adjusted and sat cross legged on the bed. He froze for a second before he composed him self and answered.

"That's two questions. So I can't answer any of them"

I rolled my eyes at him but I didn't push any further. The painful look on his eyes was enough for me to know that he doesn't want to talk about it.

"I'll ask again. Why did you leave Me waiting that day at the locker room?" The atmosphere in the room suddenly become gloomy. I knew there was a reason but I didn't want to hear about it that day because I was angry at him.

"I-i'm sorry" he blurted out with a pained expression.

"Why?" It came out like a whisper.

Was I not worthy of his time?.

"No. No. Don't think like that" he scooted towards me worriedly. Turns out I had thought out loud.

"Don't. Ever. Think. Like. That. Okay?" he repeated as he grabbed my hands. My breath hitched as shivers ran down my spine. The butterflies in my stomach danced around as I felt his warm hands caressed mine.

"I was coming to meet you I swear, I had plans of coming to you but my bodyguards blocked me and told me that my dad was looking for me--"
He looked deeply sorry. I looked at his hands that were on his and looked up back at him.

He took a deep breath and continued, "I tried telling them that I had someone important to meet--" I twitched my hands and smiled. I am important to him.

"--but they told me they had orders to bring me to my dad immediately and that nothing I were to say was going to change their mind so I complied and followed them to avoid chaos. I quickly rushed back after talking to my dad but I couldn't find you and when I saw you you were already mad at me"

"I didn't blame you though but I really wanted you to hear my reasons. I was so mad at my self for keeping you waiting that day- I still am though" he looked into my eyes and all the things I wanted to say left my brain. All my reasoning and sense left my brain as his warm brown eyes peered into mine.

"I'm Sorry" he said sincerely.

I wanted to Say it was okay and that he was forgiven but I regained my reasoning and remembered what I was so mad at him for.

"Then Why did you kiss her?" I withdrew my hands from his. I wanted to whine at the loss of warmth but I bit my whinings in and looked at him seriously.

The shock on his face made me almost smirk.

"K-kiss?"

"Yes. Kiss" I answered firmly. "The one you shared on the day you met your dad with Kim sohye" Yes I asked Luhan to help me Find out who she was and he was game on doing so. He told me she was a girl in his class meaning she's a senior. I didn't know why I was behaving like a jealous girlfriend when Jongin and I are not close to being in a relationship but still, I wanted to know why.

He opened his mouth to say something but it didn't come out so he closed it back.

"Of course you can't say anything" I whispered as tears threatened to fall and moved towards the door.

I couldn't let Jongin see me Cry because of him. That'd be pathetic.

Get your shit together JinHee. He won't ever feel the same way for you.

Something wet landed on my cheeks and I realized that I was crying. I used the back of my hand to wipe them but more still came.

I was about to turn the door knob when someone grabbed my hand and turned me around.

A small gasped escaped my lips as my back came in contact with the door. I looked up to see Jongin's warm brown eyes peering sadly into mine.

"I can explain" he said softly but I didn't want to hear any of it. I tried to pry my hands away from his grasp but he only held on tighter.

"Leave me alone!" I spat.

"No!" He shouted. "I'm not letting you go until you hear my explanation"
I gave him a glare.

"Let me explain"

"Please" he begged
My eyes soften and I released the force on my wrist.

"5 minutes" I Answered but I didn't have any plans to move away from the door, So I stood there and watch him take a deep breath.

"I don't know who told you or how you knew but--"

"I saw"

"Oh. Ok then Maybe you didn't wait to see everything cause After she confessed that she liked me I didn't want to Even hear any of it cause I was in a hurry to meet you. But she kept insisting she liked me and I should date her so I didn't have any other choice than to tell her that i liked someone already--"

my eyes grew wide and I choked out,

"Y-you have someone you l-like already?"

"Yes." He stopped and looked at me.

"Yes I do" he repeated. "And after I told her that I liked someone else she grew furious and kissed me. She was a Sunbae and a noona and I didn't want to do anything to her so I allowed her kiss me but I swear I didn't even return the kiss, heck after she was done, I wiped my lips and left" he explained but my mind was still jumbled to process his Explanation.

The only thing on my mind was that he liked someone already. Someone that isn't me.

I could her My heart breaking as I asked,

"W-who?"

"Huh?" He asked clueless.

"W-who do you like?"

"Someone" he shrugged. I swallowed the lump that was forming at the back of my throat and pushed further,

"Have you asked her out already?did she agree?" I couldn't help it, i wanted to know.

"No. But I'm planing on doing it soon" he answered as he looked deeply at me.

"H-how?" I sniffed back my tears.

As I looked at him. His eyes flashed an emotion before he whispered huskily.

"Like this" he leaned down and claimed my lips.

My eyes were wider than D.O's as i felt his plumb lips on mine. The butterflies in my stomach were dancing crazily and I could feel my leg almost giving up on me.

He pulled away and grasped my chin with his hands.
"I'm going to show her how I like her by doing this and hopefully she accept by returning my kisses" his deep husky voice wasn't also helping.

"W-wha--" I was cut off as he started leaning down. My eyes widened for the nth time today as I felt his hot breath on my face. He was looking at me as if he was conveying a message but I was too shock to comprehend it.

His eyes trailed down to my lips and he gulped and licked his lips.

Reasoning came back to my head and I realized what he was about to do.

My eyes slowly fluttered shut as I waited for his lips to reach mine again. He was going to kiss me and I have plans of kissing him back.

His warm breath on my face was proof that he was so close, I gulped and stayed still as his fingers grasped my chin upwards.

I felt his lips brush mine and I was anticipating the kiss when ---

"Yah! what's taking you two so long?its been an hour and half already!"
