A Big Favor /01/
You had no idea who decided that they wanted to pound on your front door before noon. You definitely weren’t expecting anyone but you unwillingly dragged your feet across the floor in drowsiness. You caught a glimpse of the silhouette through the glass on the front door. Of course it had to be him, no other than your best friend, Wonwoo.
“(Y/N), YA! Open the door,” he continued to ring your doorbell in impatience as if his goal was to break you doorbell. “I’ve been waiting here forever,” you rolled your eyes, whining as you trotted towards the front door, feet sliding across the ground.
You couldn’t take it anymore the ringing was started to annoy you.
“Wonwoo, you can stop now,” you groaned, annoyed as you swung the door open to see a suit clad Wonwoo at your mist. You nearly choked being taken aback by his fancy attire but soon began to laugh. “What’s up handsome? Did you show up to my house all dressed up for me?” you joked while running your hand along the collar of his suit.
He just scoffed, brushing your hand off and letting out a chuckle as he passed through the door to let himself into your home. He began taking off his shoes, all while trying to hide the immense blush on his cheeks.
“It’s a long story so close the door,” his sock clad feet slid across the floor in the direction of you room but he stopped abruptly. “By the way do you have any cola left in your fridge.” You hit his shoulder but ran into the kitchen and grabbed a cola from the fridge for him anyways. He entering your room immediately flopping down on your bed.
You situated yourself next to him looking down on him with eager eyes. “So tell me, why you chose to show up to my house in a suit.”
Wonwoo sat up quickly, reaching for the soda, opening it and taking one large gulp before he began speaking. He turned to face you with a serious face, but ended up laughing nervously as he ran his hand through the back of his hair. A gesture he always did when he was either in a situation that made him nervous or things had just gotten awkward.
“Promise me you’ll hear me out and not laugh at me when I ask you this,” he gave you a serious look. His face told you that he was positive that you would laugh.
“I can’t make any promises, but I’ll try my best,” you tried to wipe the emerging grin from your face. It was hard to be serious with Wonwoo.
“Good enough for me,” he smiled again. “The thing is, I need a favour and it’s kind of a really big one. And I really need you to say yes, because if you say no then it’ll be kind of embarrassing and-”
“Okay, okay, just get to the point.” You were practically bouncing on your toes at this point.
“Well, the thing is. My families having a big fancy reunion at a banquet hall. Which explains why I’m wearing the suit because it’s kinda in an hour or two.” But, they’re kind of expecting me to bring a date,” his voice was nervous and he avoided your eye contact, fiddling with his fingers in his lap.
“And you want me to be your date? Sure, it’s not like I haven’t done it before. What was the big deal,” you laughed at him teasingly poking his cheek.
“No, that’s not all. They kind of want me to bring like a real date, like a, girlfriend,” he paused letting out the last word ever so slightly.
This was when your smile faded slightly and your brows began to furrow. “Girlfriend? Couldn’t you just have asked one of the other girls that you’re friends with? Why’d you ask me?”
“It’s cause it needs to be you.” Your heart fluttered as he tilted his head up slightly to make his dark brown orbs pierce into your own as he spoke. You quickly told yourself that he was just being sincere nothing serious. But why was your heart pounding like this.
“You know how my family feels about you. They love you and basically already consider you as ‘the only one for me,” He chuckled softly, “If I brought anyone else then in wouldn’t seem believable. So please just do me this favour and say yes, because I’m already dying from embarrassment here.” He looked away clearly embarrassed by the way he hid is face with one if the pillows on your bed.
You took a deep breath, considering how all of this could end up. You’ve been Wonwoo’s date to many occasions before because you both were really close and it seemed like nothing. But you didn’t know about how you’d feel showing up as not only his friend this time but his girlfriend. It felt like quite a burden especially when his family would definitely have a lot of questions. But looking over your shoulder to your friend in distress, already messing up his smooth white shirt, you made a decision.
‘Wonwoo?” you let out another sigh, thinking that you might end up regretting this decision. Especially if your heart started to get involved.
“Yes?” his body quickly rise up to hear your answer.
“I’ll go with you, but only on one case.” You could see him gulp at your words. “If we’re going to do this, you have to do it right. So from now on until the end of the night, I’m your girlfriend,” you tried to fake sternness but had to look away from Wonwoo to avoid his wide eyes. Finally turning to look at Wonwoo you reached up to place your hands on his shoulders. “Deal?”
His closed his mouth, which was wide enough to catch flies, his cheeks burning so evidently. He nodded. “Deal.”
“Now help me pick out something to wear,” you said laughing.
