Seungmin's POV

It had been three hours since i sent him the lastest message. I wrote "hello Jeongin" and added a cute smiling face. Hopefully he'd reply soon. His estimated replying time was 1hr 20 minutes.

I stared down at our messages, smiling. It was so obvious he had a thing for me. The emojies he used, and the way he formulated his sentences. He liked me for sure.

I felt so happy that we'd been talking so much since camp. I had kept in contact with almost everyone. Hyunjin sent me a message the other day asking how it was going with me and Jeongin. I told him it was going real smooth.

I had also sent both Changbin and Beomhan a couple messages asking how they were doing. Everything seemed to be going well.

"Seungmin?" I heard my mom shout from downstairs.

"Yes mom?" I shouted back

"I'm making apple pie. Could you slice up some apples for me?" She asked

"Yeah, sure!" I replied

I looked down at me and Jeongin's chat once more before turning my phone off, and jumping out of bed.

I jogged happily down the stairs, and placed the phone in my right pocket.

"Hi mom" I said

"Hello there, smily-boy" she replied

She noticed the wide smile I had on my face. There was no reason to hide it.

"How's it going with you and Jeongin?" She asked curiously

Me and mom were talking and gossiping about me and Jeongin all the time. She was rooting for us. I was so excited telling her everything that had happened when I came home. I might've exaggerated it all a bit, but come on. There was a spark.

"We keep texting" I replied, smiling

I found a cutting board and a knife and started slicing the apples. She was making the pie dough in the meantime.

"When are you telling him about your feelings?" She asked

"I'm not sure" I answered -"I kind of want to tell him in real life"

"Aa, I see" she said -"he also lives in Ely right?"

I nodded, and smiled once again.

"How about handing him a gift at his door?"she suggested -"That'll make anyone's heart flutter"

I imagined it. It would have been pretty cute. I could've left him a little note, or if I had the balls, tell him face to face. What if he told me to come in? He could show me his room, and we could watch a movie together.

"That's a good idea" I said

"Right?" She shrugged proudly

"I just don't know how I'd do it" i added

I threw an apple slice into my mouth

"Well, you need his address first" She explained

"I could probably ask him for it" I said

I wondered how he would react if I asked him for his address. He'd probably need a reason right? Nobody gives their address out just like that.

I thought about stalking the address out of him, but I figured that'd cause questions and suspicion later on.

I tossed another apple slice into my mouth while trying to think of something to tell him.

Wait

There's no way he would suspect anything if I told him I accidentally brought home some of his stuff from camp. I'd just say something like; 'I think I brought home one of ur shirts. I could come deliver it at urs'

That was the perfect idea.

"What should I give him as a gift?" I asked mom

She pondered about it for a little bit.

"How about something you make yourself, like a painting, or some baked goods?"

"I can't paint"

"You can bake tho!"

"What should I bake then?" I asked

It'd have to be something cute. Not like, a whole cake. Just something simple. I was his secret lover, not a five-star baker.

"How about cinnamon buns, or cookies?" She suggested

Cookies! That was perfect. Who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies? I could place them in a cute little basket, and top it off with a love-note.

"Mom, you're a genius" I exclaimed -"I'm so making cookies tomorrow"

She giggled

I sliced up all the apples, and mom got done making the dough. We decorated the pie together. Both me and mom were super excited and nervous for tomorrow.

Mid-decorating he replied to my message.

Me and mom kept giggling and jumping around waiting for a reply. It didn't take long until I got one.

I helped mom put the pie into the oven. She told me she was proud of me for showing my real feelings. I felt proud of myself too.

He sent me his address about five minutes after I sent the last message. It wasn't far at all. I had friends who lived on the same street as him. Walking there tomorrow would be easy. -Well, if u look away from the plot.
