《12am || Hyunlix》Secret

Fuck

He heard.

He waited for an answer, but something in his eyes told me he already knew what was going on.

"W-who I was talking to?" I asked nervously

"Mhm" He nodded

I tried my best to stay calm. Maybe i had a chance to act this out.

"Oh, just the Hyunjin guy from camp" I replied, accidentally sounding more nervous than intended.

His brows curled

"You must be really good friends" he said

I cleared my throat

"I guess" I shrugged

My face was turning warmer than the sun while waiting for my dad to mention the "I love you"s he heard. I simply couldn't look him in the eyes. It was impossible.

I felt so bad for Hyunjin. I had ruined everything already. I couldn't even go one day without ruining it, and accidentally outing us.

I felt so, so, bad.

"Cool" dad said

I looked up at him in surprise.

Cool..? Did he just say cool? There had to be something more to it. There was no way he didn't hear me telling Hyunjin I loved him. It was literally the last thing I said before hanging up.

I waited for him to say something more, but he never did.

"You should invite him over sometime!" Mom suggested from inside the kitchen

«uhm, I don't know" I said

"Yeah, you should" dad added

His expression was still weird. Something had to have been going on.

-"But not tomorrow, cause aunt Ina and the family are coming for dinner" Mom said

If this couldn't get worse..

That side of the family was the worst. You wouldn't believe there was an even more conservative and strict family than mine until you've met them.

They'd always judge me if I wore even the slightest bit of makeup at our dinners. -Oh, and not to mention my hair. They hated my bleached hair. Everything that wasn't "naturally created by god", they hated.

My cousins were weirdos, like, actual weirdos. I couldn't bare hanging with them. Hopefully they'd only stay for dinner, and not much longer.

I looked down at my phone. It was starting to get pretty late, and I had an excuse to go upstairs.

"I better go get ready for bed" I said

"Good night son" Dad responded

I couldn't remember the last time he'd said that.

"Night!" My mom shouted from the kitchen.

I gave dad a tiny forced smile before standing up and walking upstairs. I looked down at my phone again.

I had to tell Hyunjin about what happened right? That dad heard us, and even asked who I was talking to. But what if I didn't?

It'd only stress him out more knowing there's like, a ninety percent chance that he heard what we were saying. I could just keep it a secret from him until it was necessary.

It wasn't wrong of me to do right? Technically, I wasn't keeping anything from him.

I spat all the toothpaste out into the sink, and looked up at myself in the mirror. My natural hair color was starting to grow out from the roots of my head. It looked kinda cool.

My freckles were very visible in the lighting. That's what I always disliked about the mirror, and lighting in the bathroom. I never found my freckles pretty, nor cool. But this time, I somehow felt extra attractive with them.

I came closer to the mirror, and inspected them. Hyunjin always said he liked my freckles. I first felt like he said it out of pity, as if he had to say something about them. But now I believe him.

I fixed my hair and put on some lip balm. I went to my room and closed the door behind me. Hyunjin had sent me a message.

I smiled. A simple heart-emoji has me feeling all bubbly. Imagining him in his room texting me, and deciding to send me a heart. It all made me so happy. I was crazy lucky. No, like seriously. I had no idea how I managed to pull this guy. He was completely out of my league. -But here I was, receiving heart emojis.

I laid down in bed, and curled myself up in the blanket before calling Hyunjin. I assumed it was fine to call him since he was just brushing his teeth.

"Hi" He said after picking up

A simple "hi" sent butterflies down my body.

"Hi" I responded

"How are you?" He asked

"I'm good, how are you?"

"Great"

It was almost like I could hear his smile over the phone. I can guarantee you he heard mine as well.

"I miss you" i said in a sulky voice

"I miss you too" he complained

"I don't want to wait until Friday" I said

"Come on baby, that's barely any waiting time" He explained

I sarcastically gasped, acting offended by what he said.

"Barely any waiting time?!" I belted

He giggled

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he apologized. -"one full day without you is torture"

I grinned

"I know"

We ended up talking for a couple hours before I became way too tired to open my mouth anymore. I was so in love with him I felt sick. To be honest, I was starting to feel nervous about meeting him on Friday.

We had another cringy "I love you more" contest before hanging up. This time without my dad standing right at the door entrance.

I kept thinking about it tho. He must've heard something? But why wasn't he saying anything? I mean, he knew I was talking to someone. He heard that I was talking to someone. I was so confused.
