N. City (Hendery x Reader x Jaemin)

Without You - Chapter 17

"This must be the culprit." Kun thought out loud.

The person in black was barely visible and the person left, without showing any signs of their identity.

"I'll watch the footage... There must be something more." Jungwoo said. The others muttred and sighed.

"Tell us as soon as you find something." Taeyong said. All the guys  stood up and left Jungwoo to his sleuthing.

(Y/n pov)

There's exactly 2 weeks until the championship.

Yesterday was fun, but now I need to take what I know and practice til I go crazy.

Hendery and Jaemin acted very weird too... Maybe Hendery isn't fine. Maybe something more happned that I don't know about.

I might not be as much of a sleuth like the others, but I need to make sure that they're not hurting each other.

I care about them both and it would be horrible if they hate each other.

"What seasoning do you want on your chicken Y/n ?" Winwin asked. He was fixing fried chicken for everyone tonight.

I was currently in the communal kitchen, because the guys wanted to cook something today.

"I don't know... Something spicy?" I was too distracted practicing my poledancing in my head to make up my mind about what seasoning I wanted.

In my head the same words began to repeat over and over again. Hendery, Jaemin, Championship and dancing. I was far too stressed to overthink what kind of seasoning I wanted on my chicken.

"Okay Mrs. Grumpy... Kun could you lend me a hand, please" Winwin said and continued with his stuff.

I remembered how I indirectly told Jaemin that I liked him and ever since he has been really weird as soon as I'm talking to another guy.

It's still true that I have a small crush, but I feel like he is too possessive. I mean the guy don't even talk to me!

I wish was more like Hendery...

I hit myself on the head. What am I thinking?

I sat down on a couch outside of the kitchen to not be in the way of the guy's chaos. The smell of fried chicken filled the room and the hunger started to consume my stomach.

Through the wooden door walked Jaemin, like my mind had summoned him. He immediately laid his eyes on me and smiled.

He looks so normal and warm from afar, so no wonder that anyone would fall.

I smiled back and waved. Jaemin walked up to the seating area and placed himself on a chair and crossed his arms to not have them hang on the side.

"What's up?" he asked, tilting his head in curiosity.

"Nothing really... You?" I responded. Jaemin looked down on his dirty, dark green All stars.

"I feel better now actually... Let's hang out more. " Jaemin suggested.

I looked him in the eyes. I wanted to see if he was serious this time. We've known him for almost 2 months, so I don't know how much one could trust him.

"Sure?" Jaemin got confused. "Don't you want to?" he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't really care." I said coldly so that he would get that I didn't trust him.

Jaemin nodded. "Then... how's your training going?" he asked. The guy sounded so interested and genuine.

"It's going great, Hendery has helped me a lot actually." Jaemin's expression changed yet again.
