Our way to each other | Binwoo

two

Moonbin's POV.

To say it was hard to wake up the next morning is to say nothing. I felt emptiness around and inside me.

I was alone in the room, so Eunwoo must be in the kitchen. Was I scared to go there? Yes. And it was weird that as soon as I came out of the room, everybody stopped talking.

I took a plate without asking what was for breakfast. So unlike me. I didn't even want to eat that day. SO unlike me.

Did the other members feel it too? That tension and oppressive atmosphere, did they feel it?

They started talking only on our way to the agency. In comparison to the atmosphere at home, it was very noisy in the car. We took our jackets off and after the warm-up started to learn a new choreo.

After 7 hours of practicing everyone was tired but not me. Imagine someone who had been crying for hours before finally fell asleep and now this person has more energy than everybody else in this room.

"Bin-ah! Have a seat. Rest for a bit."

I was focused on practicing so didn't even hear who said it. I didn't even hear what was said.

Dancing is the only thing that can distract me from anything.

Someone came closer, grabbed my sleeve, and dragged me to a chair.

It was Eunwoo and when the other guys left the practice room for some reason, he asked me:

"What happened yesterday?"

I knew he would ask me that.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know. Did you cry?"

"I did not. Why?"

"I heard-"

"Maybe I had a bad dream," I said, cutting off his sentence.

Then I stood up and suggested to continue practicing. To which he agreed and we spent the next 10 minutes alone practicing a couple of moves.

The 24th of December. 2016.

It's been about 3 months since Eunwoo said he liked that girl. And my heart couldn't stop aching. Except that, everything remained the same.

I was sitting on the couch while watching Sanha playing games. It's almost Christmas and it means we need to give presents to each other. Just a few months ago I thought I could tell Eunwoo about my feelings. I thought it would be nice to do it on Christmas Day. Although I wasn't sure because if he doesn't like me back (and I was and I'm still assured he doesn't) it would destroy our friendship and will affect the whole group.

"I'm home!"

It was Eunwoo who shut the door and went inside, taking off his warm jacket. He had something in his hands. This something was a teddy bear, not too big, not too small. The teddy bear was dusted with snow so was Eunwoo's hat. And his hands were red because of the cold. Did he walk home instead of taking a car?

"What's there?"

Sanha finally asked as he was pointing at the teddy bear.

"It's a present. For Mina."

"Hm," Sanha scoffed. "Cute. Will you give me one too?"

"Will see."

Eunwoo winked at Sanha and went to the bathroom.

He left the teddy bear in Sanha's arms so I kept looking at it. Will he confess Mina or it's just a friendly present? I was so interested that when Eunwoo came back from the washroom I asked him:

"Will you confess?"

"Sorry?"

My question was unexpected, I guess.

"Mina. Will you confess to her?"

"I haven't decided yet."

I just nodded.

"What do you think about this confession? Should I?"

Honestly, I didn't know what to say. It's heartbreaking for me, but if Eunwoo is happy, my pain costs nothing.

"You know, if you like someone you should let them know until it's too late."

"Right, but isn't it too early in my case? I'm an idol, what if somebody finds out?"

"Oh..."

"I should probably wait for the right time."

The next morning wasn't as magical as it should be on Christmas Day, but I still had to go downstairs and give the presents to the members. But after taking a shower and brushing my teeth.

"Yaaaa!! It's mine!" Sanha shouted.

"You! Binnie has just woken up, be quiet."

"Ah, sorry, Bin hyung."

It was a bit awkward since everybody paid too much attention to my presence so I decided to give them the presents to dispel the tension.

"I got a teddy bear from Eunwoo hyung and now I got one from Bin hyung! Binwoo teddy bears!"

I couldn't help but smile, Sanha was so cute. But binwoo bears...

"Here. Take it."

Said Eunwoo and handed me something in a small box with a beautiful ribbon.

I quickly opened it and smiled. Warm socks and a scarf.

"Thank you. I'll wear it."

"It's for you so you don't catch a cold and I won't hear your sniffling at night."

He winked and grinned. And I kept looking at the present I got. Thank you, Eunwoo. You will keep me warm even if we're far from each other.

In the evening Eunwoo went outside to meet Mina at the park and give her a present. I couldn't sit still. I was nervous like I was the one who had to give that teddy bear or the one who had to receive it.

'-'

"Yo wassup?" Said Sanha as soon as he saw Eunwoo opening the door. Don't mind it, he was messing around with Minhyuk, that's why he asked in a such manner.

"I see kids are having fun."

I nodded when we made eye contact with Eunwoo.

"Where're the hyungs?"

"Went to the studio. How's your... well, you know."

"I was nervous but Mina liked the teddy bear. And look what I got."

He handed me a very small box. It was like a jewelry box wrapped in paper with a Christmas print on it.

I took a handmade bracelet out of the box and looked at it carefully.

"She gave me this and said she made it for me during our school days."

She definitely liked him back then. What about now?

"Cute."

"I know. What do you think, did she like me back then?"

"I really don't know. But sometimes people create something for someone they like."

"You're saying this after giving me your drawing this morning?"

"I- No- I meant-"

"It was a joke, silly!" Eunwoo started laughing while patting me on the shoulder. "Don't take it seriously."
