VI

Jungwon POV

We both started walking beside each other in silence. All we heard was wind breeze. I looked at her and saw her looking directly at the road ahead of us. I took that time to admire her from near. Her eyes looked angelic and was shining. Her bangs fall on her forehead elegantly. She looked like an angel.

I didn't realize I was staring at her for long time. But then, she suddenly turned towards me and our eyes met. I clear my throat and looked away embarrassed after getting caught.

"This is embarrassing, now she'll probably think I'm a creep or something"

Yeong POV

As we started walking together, silenced filled us. I wanted to look at him but I was way nervous so I just kept my eyes on road. As we walked and walked, I felt him looking at me. I tried to ignore it and tried not to blush. But he kept on staring so I couldn't help it and i turned and looked at him. He looked away in embarrassment after our eyes met.

"Cute"

I giggled internally as we were infront of my dorm.

"This is my stop" I finally spoke after 5 mins of silence.

Jungwon stopped his tracks too and looked at me & at the apartment building infront.

"The convenient store is at that turn" I pointed at the turning few steps away and smiled at him.

"Thank you again" Jungwon said with smile and bowed at me.

I bowed back at him as well.

Jungwon turned around and started walking away. I internally sighs.

"He was this close, we were all alone. We walked beside each other and still I couldn't talk with him. I am really a coward"

I walked towards apartment stairs which leads me inside then suddenly I felt someone grabbed my wrist and I turned around and saw it was Jungwon.

Jungwon POV

I thanked her and then started walking away from there. But for some reason, my steps were heavy. It was like I didn't wanted to leave cause something was still undone.

"Why are you such a coward Jungwon? Didn't you wanted this moment for a year? Didn't you said, only if we were alone I would've talked with her and now what? You guys were alone and still you couldn't talk. How are you even gonna sleep at night knowing you were this close and still you let go of the chance to talk with her?" my inner voice shouted at me.

I stopped my tracks right away and turned around and saw her walking inside the building. I ran towards her and hold her wrist right away. She stopped her tracks and looked at me. Our eyes met and then i smiled softly at her & let go of her wrist right away.

"I'm sorry about that Yeong-sii" I apologized for holding her without her permission and then i took her name as well. Her eyes widen. I smiled softly but what she told me next shocked me as well.

"You recognized me all along Jungwon-sii" she told with shocked yet soft tone.

This time, my eyes widen.

"You recognized me too?" I asked in shocked tone.

We both looked at each other with wide eyes and chuckled together.

"Does that mean, we both pretended not to know each other?" she asked as another chuckled skipped her mouth.

"Yeah I recognized you right away then I thought you didn't recognized me so I played along as a stranger" I replied with soft smile.

"I thought about the same thing that's why I pretended not to know you" she replied with soft smile.

"Nice to meet you Jungwon-sii" she smiled and greet me with a bow again and this time, not as a stranger anymore.

"Nice to meet you too Yeong-sii" I smiled back and bowed back at her.

"I am surely gonna remember this unexpected  meeting for the rest of my life" she giggles softly.

I nodded in agreement.

"It's getting late, you should go inside and rest. I'll take my leave as well" I told with soft smile.

To be honest, I didn't wanted to leave this early. I wanted to talk more but I don't wanna be obvious around her. I don't want her to know about my feelings for her, NOT YET.

"Okay then Jungwon-sii, please go home safe" she bowed at me and started walking towards the main entrance and waved at me before she disappeared from my sight. I smiled like an idiot.

"I would have surely regretted if I didn't stop my steps and went back to her. I would've regretted not talking with her but I am happy we talked and now I'm sure things between us will change. Before when we met each other backstage, we used to be strangers but not from now. Cause from today, when we will meet, we'll greet each other with smile. I am so happy that I won't regret anything anymore"

I was deep in thoughts as I walked towards my dorm with huge smile on my face.

Yeong POV

As soon as i entered my apartment with huge smile on my face. I directly walked towards my room and layed down on bed while looking at the ceiling and rewinding whatever happened after I exited YG today. His angelic voice, his smile, his innocent eyes and the way he hold my wrist. Thinking of everything made me turned over on my stomach as I blushed hard. Usually I am not like this but getting notice by crush gives you different level of happiness and now i was feeling the same.

I heard my phone started to ring so I sat up on bed and then grabbed my phone and saw it was Wonyoung calling me. I picked up right away.

"Hey, is everything okay? Why did you left me in seen? Where are you?" Wonyoung asked in worried tone.

"Hey and sorry about that. I just got home and was about to call you but you did" I answered with a smile.

"Oh okay no worries and what's up with your today? Your voice sounds different. Are you happy about something?" she asked in confused yet curious tone.

She really is my best friend, isn't she?

"Actually yeah I am happy today. Never been this happy actually" I said with wide smile on my face.

"Spill the tea girl" Wonyoung said like she was ready for the tea.

"Okay so what happened was-

I told her everything that happened after I exited YG building. I explained for almost 10 mins and then finally she spoke.

"No wonder I've never heard you this happy" Wonyoung laughed. "I am happy for you Yeong. Finally you talked with him or most likely he talked with you" she added with a chuckled.

"Yeah if he didn't approach me at last, I wouldn't have had a chance to talk with him & I was more shocked when he knew who I was but pretended not to know me and I was doing the same" I replied with wide grin.

"Ofc he knows you. I told you he asked about your relationship status with me" Wonyoung said in teasing tone.

"Oh come on, please stop" I was blushing hard by now.

"I know you're gonna meet him alot for a month now while you practice with Niki-sii" Wonyoung giggle teasingly.

( Imagine Yeong already told Wonyoung about the collab stage)

"What! Please no. I'll get distracted" I mumbled softly.

"More like, you will dance more passionately to impress him" She teased me again.

"STOP" I put my hands on my face even if she can't see me.

Wonyoung was laughing on the other line.

We talked for few more minutes before hunging up as she was continuously teasing me and I was blushing mess.

After hunging up the call, I took a quick shower, changed into pajamas and then sleep as I was tired from practice all day.
