My Idol | Yang Jungwon

Chapter 10

Frustrated

School had both Jungwon and Haewon exhausted, even if the young idol went on and off, he still had plenty of work to do, together with practice he was rarely free.
The two had almost forgotten to text each other. She sent him a morning message to which he'd reply, than in the night he'd text her a sweet goodnight to which she'd answer with the same.

He missed the cute conversations they'd have ,but knew how exhausted Haewon would be after school and work, so he left her rest.

Three days had passed with the same hello-goodbye scenario, so Jungwon decided to surprise his friend during her work time, as he finally had a free afternoon.

______
As Jungwon approached the small shop he saw another boy talking to Haewon.
He was leaning on the counter, the two were laughing, he started at her a bit, admiring her smile.

-when she is with me her smile is wider-
He pouted to himself before entering the shop.

"I better get going, I'll see you some other time" the extremely tall boy says, before exiting.

"Dang who was that?" Jungwon asked as he approached Haewon, taking his mask and hat off, brushing a had trough his hair.

"JUNGWON!" Haewon yelled in surprise.
"Oh my god, did you really not recognize me... Again? "
The girl chuckled before walking up to him.
"It happens... What leads you here?" She asked not expecting a visit.

"I just wanted to see you" He blurs out not thinking of an excuse.
"O-oh that's great, I really wanted to see you too!"
The two flustered at each other fall in a awkward silence for a bit, Jungwon finally breaking it, repeating his question from earlier.

"So... Who was that guy? "
"Oh that's Connie, he is a schoolmate, he has a crush on me so he often visits the shop with some lame excuse, just so strike up a conversation"
She answers going behind the counter again.
"Do you like him back?" Jungwon asks immediately upon hearing her answer.
She chuckles before shaking her head "no"
"You probably don't have many problems like this, you are in a all boys school right?" She continues, resting her head on her palm.

"Well yeah ...I still get few notes left and right, but you are in a 'normal' school, you must get a lot of guys"
Jungwon says , his eyes traveling everywhere but at the girl.

"Well I get confessions sometimes, I just don't accept them" she chuckles remembering how Connie confessed in the middle of the hallway.

"Hmm... I see"
"Why are you jealous Jungwonnie?"
The girl asks, never missing the chance to tease the boy.
A tint of red is seen on his cheeks.
"N-no! I was just curious"

Haewon laughs at his reaction.
"Well at least I'll never be jealous since you are in an all boy school"
She blurs out without thinking.
Realising what she had just said she puts her hand on her mouth.

"Are you saying you would get jealous over me?" He asks his eyes going wide.

"Forget what I just said" she covers her blushing face with both her hands.

"Never, you just admitted you get jealous over me, that's why you asked about the trainee girl right Haewonnie!"
He continues to tease.

Haewon angrily walks towards the boy with a smirk, stoping just a few inches away from him.
"And you admitted I always make you smile when I text you, it's even recorded" she says, poking his chest with her finger.

"At least I'm not scared to admit that"
He says, leaning a bit low to get close to Haewon's face, both of them staying completely still.

The tension between the two rising so high as both of their heads lean in closer and closer by instinct.

The bell of the door snapped them from their daze.

"Hello Mrs. Kang"
Haewon bowed to the old woman who had just entered the shop to buy the usual candy for her grandkids,while Jungwon was still struggling to put his mask and hat on.

"Come" she said, walking towards behind the counter.

Like a little pet, the boy listens following the girl.

As she serviced the old lady, the boy awkwardly stared at his phone pretending to do something, though he was trying to figure out what had just happened.
What were all these emotions.
The feeling of warmth when she got so close to him, the so cold and painful feeling of seeing or even thinking of her with another guy.
He was confused, but so was she.

She felt so happy around him, not because he is her idol, but because they had gotten this close.
She felt comfortable and that bubbly feeling she gets every time she sees him, or when they accidentally touched each other.
The warmth that got over her body when his face was so close, how foggy her mind got, all rational thinking went aside and pure instincts took over.

"I should go, sorry I couldn't visit for too long" he says heading towards the doorway.

"It's okay, we'll see each other in like 5 days on the photoshoot, I promised after all"
She smiles him.
As if he had completely forgotten Jungwon's mouth forms a little "o"
"Oooh yeah, the members will finally meet you! " he says excitement in his voice.

He seemed exited though he was really worried.
-what if she liked one of them more than me?-
he though to himself as he bid her one last goodbye before exiting.

He got home and immediately headed towards the bedroom, laying down on his bed, groaning in frustration.

"What's wrong?" His eldes hyung asks him, seeing that Jungwon had a lot on his mind.
"You can rely on me c'mon"  Heesung says, sitting beside the younger boy.

"Hyung what is this really weird feeling every time I see her, it's so nice but it's so confusing,I've never felt like that. "
He explains in one breath, to which the older chuckles.

"Ah Jungwon, you gotta figure that on your own, maybe she feels similar, sorry I can't help with that, I can just slightly guide you.." Heesung says looking down at the confused male.

Jungwon just groans in response as he buries his head under the pillow.
