Crazy over you (a Kim Hongjoong x male reader story)

Ch 3

Once school ends I excitedly bounce to my locker to put some things away humming quietly and doing a little dance. Suddenly I hear a chuckle and I freeze before slowly turning around to see an amused Hongjoong smiling. Blushing I rub the back of my neck awkwardly. "Sorry about that." He shakes his head smiling. "It's okay. It was cute." I blush even more and quickly turn around to finish putting things away and calm myself. Once I'm calmed down I close my locker and turn to Hongjoong with a smile. "We're still headed towards the diner right?" He smiles and nods. "Yeah I just came to get you so we could leave." Nodding I start following him through the sea of people but can't really keep up. Just as I think I lost Hongjoong I feel a hand grab mine making me jump and I look behind me relieved when I see Hongjoong. "Hold onto my hand so we don't get separated and so you don't end up getting trampled." I nod holding onto his hand firmly and follow him through the crowd until we finally make it outside. Breathing a sigh of relief I slowly let go of Hongjoong's hand and look over at the others. "Great they're here now let's go!" I smile at Jongho and Wooyoung's excitement everyone quickly starting to head in the direction of the diner. I try to keep up but have to practically run cursing my small stature and legs. Huffing Hongjoong looks back and stops so I can catch up. Once I reach him I give an embarrassed pout. "I'm sorry for being slow." He waves it off before giving me a smile. "Here how about I give you a piggy back ride so we can get to the diner quicker. And so you won't stress your ribs." Blinking I shyly climb onto his back holding on firmly but gently. He then starts walking catching up with the others better than I was. Once we reach everyone at the diner they raise an eyebrow at us and Hongjoong carefully let's me down. "Why was he carrying you Marek?" I look over at a curious Yunho and give a sheepish smile. "I couldn't keep up so he offered to carry me." Everyone gives me an amused look Mingi wrapping a secure arm around me. "Well you gotta admit your pretty tiny. I mean your smaller than Hongjoong and that's saying something." Hongjoong and I both yell out in offense making the others chuckle. "Hey!" Mingi just grins and starts leading us inside where we all sit in a large booth. I'm in between Seonghwa and Hongjoong and we all make casual conversation. Smiling at the good time I'm having I laugh and joke around with the boys until it starts getting late. Checking my phone my eyes widen seeing how late it is and look outside seeing that it's now dark. "Crap I should have been home by now." Hongjoong looks at me frowning. "Where do you live?" I tell him where I live and he gives me a reassuring smile. "That's on the way to my house. I'll take you home." He then gets up telling the others that we're leaving before helping me out of the booth. Once I'm out of the booth I wave to the others before following Hongjoong out of the diner and down the street towards my house. We start joking and messing around I playfully poking at him making him laugh. "Alright! Alright! Stop it!" I giggle and stop a grin on my face saying teasingly in a sing sing voice. "Someone's ticklish." He blushes a little and grumbles a cute pout on his face. Rethinking that thought my eyes widen slightly and I look down at the ground hiding the blush on my cheeks. Hongjoong gives me a questioning glance but I just ignore it walking a little quicker ahead of him. Spotting my house I give a quick. "Well here I am. See you tomorrow Hongjoong!" Before he can say anything I run off to my house and quickly rush inside. Letting out a breath I see Colin give me a look with a raised eyebrow. "You sure came running in here awfully fast." Blushing I tell him about the awkward thought I had and he gives me a soft smile. "Seems to me like you have a crush." Immediately denying it I head up to my room and collapse on my bed staring up at the ceiling before slowly drifting off to sleep.
