"Hey." Hoseok called, snapping me out of my reverie. I looked at him, seeing that he<br />
was pointing at my ice cream cone. "You gonna eat that? It's starting to melt."<br />
"Oh!" I said as I licked the side of the cone before it dripped.<br />
"You must be thinking of something serious." He chuckled as he ate his chocolate ice<br />
cream.<br />
I shrugged then looked at a distance. The two of us were seating at the bench just<br />
outside the store; sitting closely but not too close that our arms were touching.<br />
"Kaye?” he suddenly asked and I looked at him, seeing the seriousness in his gaze.<br />
"Yeah?"<br />
"I need to tell you something." I raised my eyebrows, prodding him to continue. Hoseok<br />
was looking unsure—nervous even, and I wondered whatever he had to say that made<br />
him so.<br />
"We've known each other for a while now," he drawled. "And I just… I guess I just... I<br />
think you're—“ he stuttered with his words and it was quite obvious what he was trying<br />
to do that I had to keep a smile.<br />
He huffed, "I know things didn't work out with Junmyeon sunbae and I know I'm in no<br />
position to say that things would be different with me since I'm an idol too..."<br />
My eyes widened at his confession and I felt my heart race as he opened his mouth,<br />
half expecting his next words...<br />
"I guess all I'm trying to say is that I--"<br />
"I like you." We both said at the same time.<br />
"You do?" We said again.<br />
"What?" And again, causing us to laugh.<br />
"So..." He started.<br />
"So...?" I smiled and he groaned, leaning back with his hands covering his face. "You're<br />
laughing at me."<br />
"I'm not!"<br />
"Yes you are." He argued and I stuck out my tongue at him while pushing my cone<br />
towards his face, smearing a bit of ice cream on his nose. "Yah!"<br />
I chuckled as he grabbed my waist, so he can pull me close and smear some ice cream<br />
on my cheek too. The two of us continued with our little ice cream war until we were<br />
panting for our breaths, sticky from the ice cream, and our eyes tearing from laughter.
