ELLIE'S POV

Arriving at the location i see a very worried Yunho come up to the car "Your manager is here, he hasn't seen the girls yet but he seems to be looking for them" he says hurriedly "Where are they?" I sigh getting out of the car following Yunho around the corner to find the girls and the non sober members of ateez stumbling around with each other

i walk over standing in front of them as they all stop in their tracks "Ellieeeee" Yeona shouts as she comes to wards me "How many times do i have to tell you all to only go to excluded places if you want to drink?! Someone has posted pictures of you all on SNS and plus our manager is looking for you!!" i shout in anger as they lower their heads "Look i know you wanted to have fun but please be a bit more responsible" i sigh as they keep their heads low "Right Seonghwa can you take them home i have to go and talk to our manager" i sigh as he comes over putting his hand on my shoulder reassuringly "Okay we will head back but what about you?" he asks worry clear in his voice "i have things to clear up here, don't worry about me ill be home later just make sure they are okay for me please" i say as he nods motioning for Jongho and Yunho to help him get the girls and their members into the minivan "You okay?" Hongjoong asks walking up to me "Yeah, im fine you should go with the others ill be home later" and with that i head out the front of the bar where i find a very pissed manager "Ellie May! What the fuck is going on?" he shouts, i back away flinching slightly "Do you know what this could do to your reputation?" he shouts once again as i look down "Look at me when im talking to you" he shouts catching the attention of some passbyers "Im really sorry i never ment for this to happen i just wanted the girls to have fun and let loose a little after all their hard work" i say meeting his gaze "We have many things coming up Ellie, this isn't the time for Fuck ups!" he shouts "Im sorry sir it wont happen again" i say looking down at my feet "It better not but a point has to be made, your activities are suspended for a month" he states angrily as i keep my head low as a tear falls down my cheek "Yes sir i understand" i say bowing to him "You better or next time there will be worse consequences like canceling your amrican concert in october" he says and at the mention of that my head shoots up "Please no we work so hard for that" i plead as he just stares at me blankly "Better make sure there arent any more fuck ups then" he says before walking off

As soon as i see him turn the corner of the street i let my tears fall as i slowly walk my way back home

Arriving back at the house i slowly walk up to the door, sighing i open the door walking straight in ready to go straight up to my room until i hear the girls call my name from the living room, sighing i head to the living room to see the girls spread around the room playing games with the other tipsy members of Ateez "Eliiiiiiiii!" Byeol slurs catching the attention of the others in the room as they all turn to me with a smile, Someone taps my shoulder as i look up to see Yunho standing next to me "Sorry i couldn't get them to bed they wouldn't listen" he sighs rubbing his temples "Oh they'll go to bed right now dont you worry" i say through gritted teeth "Girls!" i shout catching everyone's attention, they all freeze at my tone "All of you had better get your asses up to  bed right now before i really loose it!" i shout staring them down "What's got your knickers in a twist grumpy?" Aera slurs giggling "You really wanna know what's got my knickers in a twist? i'll tell you, i just had a lovely chat with our manager who was fuming by the way, who has now put us on a warning , threatened to cancel our American tour, oh and has also suspended all my activities for the next month!" i shout through gritted teeth "Elii we-" Yeona tries to say but i cut her off "I don't wanna hear it now get up to bed now! i shout as they all nod finally stumbling upstairs

"You okay?" Yunho ask from beside me "I'm fine i just need some fresh air" i state walking out to the garden, i sit down on the edge of the pool putting my feet into the clear water  as i look up at the nights sky lighten up by the bright moon and stars, the sound of cars can be heard in the distance, i take a deep breath looking down at my feet in the water how can they be so careless! we are meant to be so careful yet their not, sometimes i don't know if i hate or admire that, lost in thoughts i don't notice the person whose now sitting next to me until they gently tap my shoulder "Hongjoong? what are you doing out here?" i ask glancing up at him quickly before directing my attention back to the water "I came to check if your okay" he says softly "Im fine" i lie kicking my feet in the water "I think your lying to me" he states laying back "Your so annoying" i state glancing back at him "I know" he says winking at me, i playfuly slap his arm as we both burst out in laughter "So are you really okay?" he asks looking up at me, 

I sigh laying back next to him "Just a little stressed" i chuckle looking up at the sky "Mhm, Is it true that your suspended from all activities for a month?" he asks seriously "Unfortunately I am" i sigh finally meeting his gaze "why only you though?" he questions "It's always been like that" i shrug "Since the beginning if anyone of us did anything wrong, i would voluntarily step forward, i found it was easier that way, because then my members can keep progressing, i can always catch up quickly afterwards, my members mean everything to me, their the only thing closest to family that i have, i'd gladly take a bullet for any of them" i state a tear falling down my cheek "You really are so caring for your members" he smiles at me, "But you know i think you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, i can see how much you care for you members, but you seem to have the habit of limiting and closing yourself off to others, we are all here for you too Ellie so just remember to lean on us, on me, once in a while" he says meeting my gaze, more tears fall at his word, but before i have the time to wipe them off myself he cups my face wiping the tears away with his thumbs "Did you know you actually scared my members too?" he chuckles "They said the look you had on your face and the way you stared down the girls looked like you were about to commit mas murder" he chuckles wiping the last of my tears, i chuckle with him meeting his gaze once again "It's good to see you laughing" he says smiling sweetly "Your so annoying" i chuckle as he playfully winks at me

"Can i show you something?" i whisper sitting up "What is it?" he asks curiously "Come closer i whisper as he sits up complying with what i said "Okay a little closer" i whisper, he complies leaning in closer "Like this" he whispers back meeting my gaze "Perfect" i say before shoving him into the pool "What the fuck!" he shrieks coming back up, laughing my ass off i dont realize him swimming up to me until its too late and he pulls me in with him "I hate you!" i shriek splashing him in the face "You started it!" he laughs hysterically, glaring at him i splash him again  before quickly trying to get away but he soon catches up to me wrapping his arms around my waist "Gotcha!" he shouts holding me close to him so that i dont escape "Let me go dumbass" i laugh as he spins me around in the water "On one condition" he states turning me around to face him "You have to go out with me on a date" he states with a big smile "And if i dont agree to that" i ask playfully "Then i guess we'll just have to stay here in the nice cold water for ever" he laughs holding me tighter "OKay okay fine ill go on a date with you, now let me go your suffocating me you oaf" i laugh trying to pry his arms off me "Now you have to apologise for insulting me" he states with a pout "Aww is the undergrown strawberry upset" i tease, he glares at me playfully "I definitely am now" he states as we both chuckle "Okay okay how about this" i say smiling cheekily "Wha-" i cut him off softly placing my lips on his, at first he just stands there shocked but soon kisses back, as soon as he's grip softens i pull away "I-i...." he tries to stutter out, i giggle before quickly swimming away "Let me know when you wanna go out on that date!" I yell back at him as i get out of the pool, quickly running inside

I smile to myself as i quietly walk up to my room to get changed, once im ready for bed i quickly get in to bed snuggling into my covers, a smile plastered on my face as i remember Hongjoong's shocked face and slight blush, i muffling my giggles with the covers, my cheeks turning a slight shade of pink

I shake my head at my childish actions im 21 and im acting like a high schooler who just talked to her crush, finally getting comfortable i soon fall asleep with a small smile on my face...
