#11 Curiosity Cravings

Dino's POV:

I looked at the girl that I was irritated for about hours now. I guess Dahyun and Vernon can't even handle us. They're at the corner, having their own world that I don't even know they had.

"If you're going to ask a question, ask something serious."

She stopped looking at the bows and I can feel her, staring deeply as if she wants to rip me up into pieces.

"Fine. How did you guys started this thing? I mean, did you guys really want to do this?" Her hands stopped from touching the bow and arrows. She then placed it behind her, finally relaxing it in a while.

"It runs in the blood. All of our parents are already part of this agency. We just have to follow their footsteps." I simply muttered.

"So you didn't have a chance to do what you like?"

Wow. She's getting personal.

"Sometimes we have the chance. But most likely, we are more focused on our job."

"Do you guys ever have girlfriends?"

"What th- why are you asking that question?!"

"You said that that if ever I'm going to ask some questions, ask something serious."

Do you ever look at someone and wonder, what is going on inside their head?

Ugh. I just hate everything about her. The way she talks, and make faces, I'm freaking annoyed.

Knowing that I can't beat her statement, which actually came from me earlier, I'm going to cut things short.

"Some of us have in the past, but mostly none." I avoided her long stares.

Most of us doesn't share our personal lives with each other. We're just always surprised when something was revealed out of the blue. This then became a habit to us, and we got used to it. Sometimes, it just sucks. Because you can't question them even if they knew that you're craving out from curiousness.

I want to share my stories with them, but I know that they are already clouded with a lot of things. I'm the youngest and I can't deny that I need attention. I also need somebody to listen to my problems. But, there's always a hindrance. I still don't know what it is, but maybe, my mind has already convinced me that they'll just shrug me off. Worse, ignore me.

"You're thinking way deeper than the ocean dude." I blinked as I realized that I got in my small world for a second. Chaeyoung was shaking her head from side to side, as if I did something that was embarrassing.

"You're also shaking you're head way better than dogs do dude."

She sighed deeply and rolled her eyes.

Tsk.

Mingyu's POV:

She released the bow and the arrow directly hit at the middle.

Wow. A perfect ten.

"You didn't told me that you're already good at this." I am a person who compliments a lot. No matter how close we are, or how much we don't know a thing about each other, this is my thing. I'm glad that I make others happy through saying it. Although, this results to a lot of misunderstandings.

"T-thank you Mingyu oppa." Tzuyu shyly said as she tucked her long strands of hair behind her ear. She looks stunning and gorgeous. Even so, I will not put myself in this kind of situation again.

"Do you guys ever have girlfriends?" Chaeyoung's voice was loud, and it gladly entered out ears. I tried to shrug it off, but then, the girl in front of me kept staring at me. She's obviously hesitant about something.

Please, I hope she won't ask something about me. I hope she won't ask the same thing that Chaeyoung did to Dino.

"Mingyu oppa, do you have a girlfriend?" It took her time and enough courage to say that, so I stopped for a while and decided to not ignore her.

"Yes, in the past." I gave her a small smile. Reminscing those memories were not good.

"I'm sorry, but, what happened?" My gaze landed on her eyes, which is full of fear.

She's cute.

"Ms. Chou right?"

"Yes, Tzuyu, you can call me that."

"Okay, Tzuyu. Are you interoggating me now?" I cautiously leaned closer to her. With limits.

"M-maybe?"

I chuckled and went away from her.

"Wait, why don't you share your story? What happened to the both of you? Who is that girl?" She bombarded a lot of questions. It's the adrenaline because she thought I'm legit going out of the room.

"I still can't tell you that Tzuyu. It's a bit personal."

"Oh, okay." By her actions, she feel like all of her hopes dropped. Well, I think I should just give a her a small clue?

"Okay. Do you really want to know her?"

"I do." She excitedly smiled.

"Why?"

"B-because... I love to listen to a lot of stories... Of people." Her tone was full of guilt. I think she's doing this because there's something more than what she just said. There's a lot more reason behind this.

"If you want, then, you should follow what I'll command first." Don't worry, this is nothing serious. She's not a slave and never will be. It's just a small game that gives her more suspense and dedication to what she'll be doing."

"I'll do it. What should I do first?" I was surprised that she followed my orders. It's not even serious though.

"Okay, please get me some water." She chuckled, maybe thinking that the task that I set out was too easy for her.

"Okay, oppa." She took wide steps and bought the water near my face.

"Here's your water. Now, tell me who is that girl?" Up until now, she's really curious about her. Can someone give me a concrete answer?

"Her name is Bae Chul Jae." My smile lessened just by mentioning her name. I should've moved on, but I'm still trying to.

"When did you met her?"

"Op, that's enough."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"One order, one question." I cheekily laughed.

"Are you serious?" She looked so done. I know that she's not satisfied with just a question.

"Okay fine. What should I do next?" I see, she's really dedicated with the topic.

"Just do good in your training, and maybe,"

"I can answer all of your questions."
