MUTUAL | CHOI SOOBIN

14 | shoes

The outdoor shoot continued with a few games. Not many people were swarming the park yet so it was a good opportunity for us to finish up the shooting soon. Once it became brighter, the park got filled with people who passed by, they could identify the members, they were already going crazy, but sadly taking pictures were prohibited or you'll probably get blacklisted or maybe even sued by our company or from Bighit.

We set up the equipment again and the strong wind wasn't helping at all. Some of the scripts started flying everywhere and the members helped me to collect them. Once the equipment was set up we immediately started. The fans started to crowd around too and it was hard to make them stay quiet and follow the rules we set. TXT were happy to see the amount of MOAs that came but it was the opposite for us, it wasn't quite pleasing.

We had to stop the recording for a while because of the mic issues again. I stepped out of the crowd and sat at a bench at the end of the park, it wasn't quite a big park so it was easy for me to reach a quiet spot. I took a breather because crowded areas makes me feel a bit dizzy. I drank a bottle of water and emptied my mind for a while.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, it was Soobin. He sat beside me on the bench. I didn't react much because I was in the state of overwork, I felt a bit tired and I felt like I just wanted to lay down on the grass.

SOOBIN'S POV

We had break time because apparently the mic that we were currently using had some issues, I looked around for Seulbi but it looks like she wasn't there.

"Have you seen Seulbi?" I asked Yeonjun who was entertaining MOA.

"No, but I think I saw her going somewhere there." Yeonjun pointed and I made my way out of the crowd.

I told the staff that I had to get out of the crowd for a while because I wasn't feeling quite well. I ran around for a bit until I saw Seulbi who was sitting on the bench under a shady tree. I looked around and no one was there, I approached her and sat beside her. She looked really tired and pale, did she overwork herself? She reminded me of myself when I used to be trainee and overworked myself.

I sat beside her for a while until she noticed my presence.

"are you okay?" I asked and she answered with an okay sign, it was obvious she didn't have enough energy to even answer me.

"I know what you're feeling, I get that a lot too."I said as I admired the scenery in the park.

"Aren't you suppose to be with your members? Isn't the staff finding for you? Would MOA be okay with your sudden disappearance? Let's head back before everyone becomes worried." Seulbi said with a worried expression on her face, she stood up but her legs were jelly-ish, she didn't look like she wanted any help, so I didn't offer her a hand.

"Let's go." Seulbi said as she held her hand out. I was confused, was I suppose to hold her hand too?

"Watch out!" I shouted and grabbed Seulbi into my arms. We stayed in that position for a while as I was cursing out at the cyclist who was cycling recklessly. Seulbi wasn't looking at me instead she was looking down.

"You almost got hit by that cyclist." I said. I finally realised after a while that I was hugging her in my arms, so I let go of her. I felt embarrassed and quickly ran away from her. I headed back to the shooting area to grab hold onto one of the members, I didn't want to tell them anything but it was obvious that I just ran away because of something.

SEULBI'S POV

"That looks so familiar." I said to myself as I starred at his shoes.

Soobin finally realised that he was hugging me, he let go of me and headed back to the shooting area. I shook my head and looked at him running away, what was that? I sighed and took my phone out to look for the photo Chobin sent me. I looked at it again and now I knew where I've seen those shoes. Is Chobin, Soobin? A thought came to my mind. No way?

I rushed back to the shooting area as the director was calling out my name. I took a glance at Soobin but he avoided it. Have I really been talking to Soobin the whole time and not Chobin?
