Reading the signs

Elina's POV: During the Japan portion of the tour things got very hectic, all groups were working day and night, sleepless nights in order to practise for the show, early mornings in order to practise for the show. The tour was draining their strength and energy, and soon their health started deteriorating. Fast forward to the last stop of the Japanese portion of the tour, Osaka

{5:30 am}

"I'm so tired" Bambam whines and sits on the couch backstage to catch his breath from the dance break he just did with his group "Be thankful the tour is almost over, I love our fans but this has been the most tiring period of my life" Nayeon says yawning "That's true it's been really hard on us" Mina agrees siting next to Bambam on the couch

"Nayeon we need you" a manager runs in the room because it was time to practise for her special stage "Gotta go" she stands up, stretching lightly and heads towards the stage "Minari have you eaten yet?" Bambam asks giving her a little concerned smile "No not yet, I can't seem to eat in the early mornings" Mina confesses lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers as she thought this act of hers was stupid

Bambam noticing this placed his hand on top of hers caressing them lightly. A smile appeared on Mina's face as she looked up to him "Its okay Minari, early mornings are hard. Let's eat together, how does that sound?" Bambam gives her a smile awaiting for her answer patiently "Sure oppa" Her smile became bigger and "Great! Yo Yugyeom go fetch us some breakfast" he smiles at Mina and proceeds to shout at Yugyeom who was sitting at the couch across from them on his phone

"Heh why me?" He whines putting hit phone down "Because I say so come on" Bambam says gesturing him outside "Fine lovebirds I'm going" he sticks his tongue out at the playfully and leaves. After the "bomb" Yugyeom dropped with the word Lovebirds the room went silent, it was just the two of them. Their hands were still connected, Mina noticing this started blushing a little

"Oppa... I have something to tell you" Mina says, her grip on his hands tightens as Bambam turns to look at her with eyes filled with curiosity about her next words "What is it Minari?" A wave of hope came over him, thinking that maybe what ever Mina wanted to say was something about him but that.. wasn't the case "Doyoung sunbae asked me to be his girlfriend" Mina blurts out, her eyes stuck at the ground not wanting to face Bambam

"Doyoung y-you mean NCT's Doyoung?" He asks shocked, his grip on Mina's hand becomes looser as he is processing the news "Yes" she responds "Well, I guess that's good for you right? Doyoung is.. a good guy he'll take good care of you" Bambam felt his heart break a little, Mina had been someone he loved dearly and it wasn't until her break that he realised it wasn't all friendly feelings he had fro her

Bambam's POV: It was like a wall of bricks hit me, Doyoung and Mina? I mean yes sure Jinyoung had told me a while ago about Doyoung finding Mina pretty, since they're friends they trust each other but not dating.. he doesn't know her the way I do.. he won't be able to treat her the correct way..

"Oppa? A-Are you okay?" Mina asks worried "Yes I just need to use the bathroom really quickly. I'll come back to eat don't worry" Bambam utters getting up and heading out the room as Yugyeom walked inside holding their breakfast "What happened to him?" He asks finding his behaviour strange "I think I messed up Gyom sshi" Mina says looking at the ground once again
