exchange ? // giselle [hiatus]

1 : exposure

Giselle's POV

After the practice, me and my members went back to the dorm. It's already night. While walking back to our dorm, I noticed this door beside ours was open. No body lived there. And... no one could except when it's an artist under SM too.

"Mwoya," Minjeong went to the door and inspect the inside of the room. "Oh, Y/n-ssi!"

Y/n? She's living beside us?

"Y/n-ssi!" I ran to Minjeong and waved to Y/n who's arranging the shoe rack. "Annyeong Aespa-nim" she bowed before standing beside the door.

"You're living beside us? Are you alone?" I asked and she nodded. She's cute like her brother tho. "That's cool, maybe we can hang out most of the time. Is it okay Jimin un- where's unnie?" I looked behind me seeing only Winter and Ning Ning.

"What do you expect, ofcourse she went home already" Ningning said. "Dont mind Karina unnie, Y/n. She's like that since pre-debut" Minjeong held Y/n's shoulders. "Anyways... are you free right now? We can hang out right now" Ningning asked.

"I'm still arranging my things here..." Y/n scratched the back of her head. Omo, a cutie.

"We can help! Right guys?" I asked the others and they nodded. "Oh well... I guess you don't have anything to do?" We nodded and she smiled. She let us in her dorm and it's the same to ours. The difference is that it doesn't have that much furniture yet.

"I can clean the bedroom" Y/n nodded at me and I went to her room. It has unpacked boxes and the curtains are still untouched. I opened the curtains first and the city lights came into the view. I like night views.

I sat on her bed and looked at the picture on the nightstand. It was her family picture. She and Soobin looked like twins. They got their looks from their father.

I also saw her phone beside the picture. Should I open it? And get Soobin oppa's number? I think I should...

I smiled to myself before opening the phone. As it lit up, the lockscreen shocked me...

It was Karina unnie!

She have a crush on unnie?! I closed the phone when I heard footsteps coming from the door. I pretend to fix the curtain when Y/n came into the view. "Aeri-ssi, help me unpack this if you want" she smiled sweetly before opening the box.

I saw more picture frames inside that made me interested.

Should I ask about her life? Should I ask about Soobin oppa?

"You got many pictures there..." I approached her and take out the frames. "Yeah... my family is away so it's just me and my brother here in Seoul. I missed them" she looked at the picture sadly. "Where do you live tho?" I asked. She looked at me surprised.. Am I crossing the line? Do I look like a Stalker or something?

"They live in Daegu. Far, right?" I made an 'ah' expression, placing the picture frames on the shelf. "Tell me more about yourself"

"Well... I'm a 2002 liner, I should call you unnie-"

"Ani, Aeri is fine" she nodded and continued.

"... I used to train under Blockberry Creative but I left since they're not planning to debut another group yet... well, I wanted to debut fast and when I auditioned in SM, they asked me whether I should join aespa or debut as a soloist"

"Eh? Why didn't you join us?" I asked her. "You guys are packed already and remember Yeri sunbaenim before? She received alot of hate for Joining the group..." but the truth is you're shy, you're debuting in a group where your crush is in.

Y/n's POV

"Why didn't you chose HYBE?" Questions kept coming in from Giselle. She's really a friendly type of person and very bubbly. "My brother said I can train under any agency but not in HYBE and JYP. He got bad experiences in both"

"Ah..." Why does it feels like she's going to ask about my brother next?

"...so, are you two twins? You look alike alot" I swear she has a crush on Soobin. "Aniyo, I'm a 02 liner"

"Oh, I forgot he's 2 years older" she did research about Soobin aswell.

"You like my brother, don't you?" I mentally slapped myself, ofcourse she do and I know why she is befriending me. "A-Ani!"

"I know you do, I see the way you look at him while we're in the elevator" she sighed heavily before looking at one of my frames where me and my brother's picture in it. "I do, okay? But don't feel uncomfortable around me... I guess" She's kinda creepy? But friendly anyways.

"I know you like Jimin unnie too" wait-

"Who told you that?!"

"Sorry... I saw your phone lit up earlier" my heart was thumping so hard, my secret has been exposed! And it was Karina's member who knew, I want to jump off a cliff right now.

I was speechless, me and Giselle has been staring into each other since eternity. "We're fair now" she talked. "...let's make a deal"

Third Person's POV

You raised an eyebrow at her as she smiled cheekily. "Let's exchange... I'll help you with Jimin unnie, then you help me get close to your brother"

You thought it sounds good and you've been crushing on Karina for a long time. It's worth a shot so you held out your hand and Giselle shook it.

It's now or never. You thought.

"Deal"
