Falling in love with him was so easy.
The wide smile he’d throw at you whenever he spots you among the crowd, the way his face brightens up when he calls out your name. The softness of his touch as he pats your head playfully, yet with a hint of affection obviously shown in his eyes. “You’re like a little puppy, I like it.” was what he always said. The bright twinkling laugh he’d let out when you scoff as you push away his hands. The stars in his eyes.
It’s just so, so easy to fall for him.

“Y/N!”
Stepping out from your lecture, you don’t need to look up to see who was calling your name. Like it was a promised routine, the boy that was leaning against the wall opposite of the door straightens up his posture as he throws you his infamous wide smile. His dimple…. Sighing, you stop your train of thoughts before it gets too loud. You’re always so easy to read, y/n, was what he always said.
Yang Jeongin. The boy that you share most of your 8am classes with. The boy who somehow always manages to bring in a cup of ice americano into every class too. The boy who ended up sitting beside you, and paired up with you for some group projects.
The boy who somehow managed to wriggle into your life after meeting up a few times for class projects, and is now oddly, after only 1 month of knowing each other, is one of the few constants in your hectic university life.
“Are you done with your classes?”
“Mhmm.” Turning to head back to your dorm, the boy falls into your pace so easily as he walks alongside you. “Are you done with yours, Jeongin?”
“Yeap!” Flashing you a little, but still ever so bright, smile, his dimple was a little more obvious now that you’re seeing it much closer, as well as his eye smile. He really does look like a little fox. A cute one. “Do you wanna go get some tea?”
Glancing at him, you let out a soft smile. “I thought you don’t drink tea?” He literally comes in class with an ice americano every single morning.
“I don’t, but I know you do.” Your heart warms up at that. “I found this cool cafe that probably sells some nice tea!”
“Probably…?”
“I mean, at least that was what Chan Hyung said…” Rubbing the back of his nape, you can’t help but laugh at his sudden bashful behaviour, before commenting, “If Chan says it’s good, then it probably is.” You know who Chan was, after bumping into him a few times while you were working with Jeongin for your projects. The older boy was a nice brother figure for Jeongin, but at the same time always manages to throw in some subtle teasing whenever he sees the two of you together. Not that you minded, of course.
Jeongin hummed a little before looking at you again. You can tell he was still waiting for your answer, and being in the mood to tease him a little, you pretend to look at your watch even though you know very well you have a free schedule for the night. It’s friday night, after all. “I mean.. I guess I have some time for a cup of tea and a night hangout at some random cafe.”
Oh the way his eyes brighten up at your words. You wish you had recorded that.
“Yes! Come on, it’s one bus stop ahead but I promise you it's worth it!” Excited, Jeongin didn’t even realize he was holding onto your hand until the both of you were standing side by side at the bus stop, waiting for the next bus. You were staring at his hands holding yours when he noticed, and he lets out a little gasps. “Oh my gosh, i- i didn’t mean- sorry.”
When he lets go of your hands, you realize that you actually like holding his hands and out of impulse, your hands reach out for his. Wordlessly, you intertwine your hands together before you look up at him. He’s a little taller than you, not too much, and you like that. “Is this okay?”
“Y-yeah…” His eyes are wide as he stares you, obviously still trying to process everything. “Yeah.”
“Good, because I like it.” giving him a small smile, you look back ahead to look for the bus, all while giving his hand in yours a little squeeze. Just a little, but enough to snap Jeongin out from his thoughts before he lets out a little giggle. Squeezing your hands back, the boy whispered softly under his breath, and if you weren’t standing beside him, you might have missed it. But you didn’t.
“And I like you.” was what he said.
God, falling for Yang Jeongin was so easy. So, so easy that it scares you sometimes. But feeling the warmth of his hands in yours, you don’t think you would have asked for it to be any other way.
