"If you think we can't see that you're smiling like a maniac then you're dead wrong." said Chenle looking at Jaemin with curiosity dripping from his eyes.
"What happened when you went there to take care of her?" asked Jeno smiling cheesily and Renjun also took a seat opposite to Jaemin eagerly.
"Guys I..." Jaemin trailed off with light blush covering his cheeks.
"Aww hyung is blushing!" exclaimed Jisung laughing sheepishly.
"Guys I like her. I like Y/N."
As soon as Jaemin said it, Chenle banged on the table and pointed at Jaemin with a face like I-Told-You-Didn't-I?
"So how are you planning to tell her now?" wondered Jeno sharing looks with Renjun and Jisung.
"Let's see... Maybe after she recovers?" suggested Jaemin with questioning eyes.
"Good idea!" exclaimed Renjun.
Yet, Jaemin looked a bit unsure as he stared at the table in deep thought.
"What are you thinking hyung?" asked Jisung after noticing it.
"Will she accept me? After..." he sighed as he leaned back and massaged his forehead. "I was such a jerk back then... God..." he muttered.
He felt a pat on his shoulder and looked up at Chenle. He smiled and spoke, "Don't worry, she will accept. She loves you. I know it."

(After 4 days) (Your POV)
I had recovered from my fever more or less and had to get back to work. I was sitting in the cafe of SM Town struggling with some new lyrics on my mind when someone sat opposite to me with a 'thud'. I looked up to see it was Jaemin.
I blushed at his sight as he smiled warmly at me and again averted my gaze back to my notebook.
"What're you doing?" he asked leaning on the table.
"Uh.. Just scribbling some lyrics." I answered tapping my pen a couple of times on the page.
"Need any help?" he asked with a cute smile.
"Uh no thanks. It's just, I am working too much I guess and my mind needs a break." I chuckled as I admitted my problem.
"Then let's go for a walk." he suggested and I couldn't say no.
We were strolling in the park, the lush green grass feeling so soft and smooth against my feet and almost tickling me gently. I held my shoes in my hands and so did Jaemin. I loved taking walks like this.
"So," Jaemin broke the silence and made me look up at him, "I decided to tell you something."
I nodded in acknowledgment gestering him to continue.
"Y/N I can't lie with my feelings anymore..." he trailed off and that is when I came to a halt. Wait–
"I'm sorry for acting like a jerk... I got scared but now I realize how much affection I have for you..."
My heart literally stopped beating. What was Jaemin saying? Was he out of his mind?
"I like you Y/N."
That's it. Those four words were enough to make my heart burst a 100 times in my chest as I pursed my lips. My mind froze and indeed I had come here to clean my clogged up mind but it just got worse.
"Jaemin I," I paused as I looked up at him. He was staring at me so sincerely, it made me more nervous than I should be. "I need time to think." I finally managed to say with a heavy heart. He had broken my heart once, I couldn't let him to do it again.
He broke our eye contact and looked away as he tried to laugh. "Ah.. Yeah okay. Take your time."
*✲ﾟ*｡✧٩۶*✲ﾟ*｡✧
After I reached home I went to take a hot and warm shower. I need to get my mind off stuff. I had to think about Jaemin. I felt this intense pang constantly hitting my chest.
All my memories of Jaemin clogged up my mind. All our good and bad times and everything I've been through because of him.
After changing into my fresh clothes, I checked if I had any texts or not and I sighed. There were hundreds of messages.
LeLe 🐬
Jaemin confessed to you!!??
Did you say yes???
Y/N!!! Answer me-
Oh wait! He's home lemme ask! :D
JisungPwark
Why does Jaeminhyung look so sad?
Did you reject him?
I don't blame you but truly he's clearly whipped for you... I mean it's visible.
Renjunnieee
Y/N I don't know what happened between you and Jaemin because he's clearly faking a smile but...
Jeno
I know Jaemin was wrong in humiliating you and rejecting you in such a manner but please forgive him. He really likes you!
I closed my phone as I closed my eyes massaging my temples. Yes or no? Yes or no? Yes or no...?
(Jaemin's POV)
Y/N looked taken aback and surprised when I confessed about my feelings to her. Her smile faltered and it disheartened me. I wanted to be the reason for her smile, not for fading it away.
Even though I said, it's okay and she should take her time, my insides were exploding, desperate for her answer. I never thought I would fall in love with a fan and when I did, why did it have to be like this.
I told the members that it's alright and did not answer to any of their questions because I didn't have the answers to it myself in the first place.
I unlock my phone and go to my gallery where I had saved a picture of Y/N from her social media. She looked cute as she smiled so brightly. It made me smile and my heart flutter. Just forgive me and accept me already Y/N...
