Chapter 8

I reuploaded since I realized I did not post the full chapter successfully, I apologize for the inconvenience.

-Wonyoung's pov-

It's hard managing my time, acting and practicing at the same time. I am currently practicing with my future group, IVE. I'm just lucky that my co stars and the director of my drama was considerate as I am filming an indie lgbtq drama with Minji sunbae. Maybe that is why I was panicking when I first met her, her name is the same as minju unni. See how obsess I am? For a girl as Yuri unnie said.

I knew it was coming but it felt sudden when PD nim told me we'll be training with some fellow trainees. I figured out I am the 4th oldest, we have a member born in 2007! I can't believe it, I'm not the baby anymore. Lee Hyunseo, or what we'll call her, Leeseo. She's our baby, she's adorable. She kept approaching me and she just looked irresistible that I find myself giving her love, Because that is what she deserves.

I am currently preparing Leeseo's school lunch. Usually it would be Gaeul unnie doing it but I volunteered as I wanted Hyunseo to taste my cooking at least.

I was preparing a ribeye steak, I know pretty expensive and pretty foreign for a school lunch but I would like to flex just so that she would also flex her lunch to her classmates.

"Hyunseo ah, I cooked your lunch, grab your lunchbox!"

She comes running towards me in her school uniform and hugs me to show how thankful she is towards me, my heart can't handle this kid. Is this how the unnies felt towards me back then? It's so heartwarming.

"Thank you Wonyoung unnie!"

I find myself smiling idiotically and just hugs her back very tight. I couldn't resist her.

"Unnie I can't breathe!"

I quickly let go and proceed to pat her head.

"Sorry, Hyunseo ah. Now go you'll be late for school."

"Bye unnies!"

She came running towards the door and there I was left with Gaeul unnie who for some reason was notices while I was talking to Hyunseo. I smile towards her.

"Thanks for letting me cook for her just this once unnie."

She looks right into my eyes. I feel myself blushing, I never really get to appreciate how beautiful she looks. We have not even made our debut yet and here I am crushing on an older geez.

"I appreciate you helping me, that kid can be a little handful sometimes you know?"

She holds my hand and now I am just gay panicking.

"To be honest I didn't expect you to be this responsible Wonyoung ah. Since I've watched you in you Izone days."

She laughs and what a beautiful eye smile.

"N-no problem unnie! I think it'll be hard for Yujin unnie and you to always be acting like the adults so I would like to join, though I can say I am more adult like than Yujin unnie, don't say that to her though."

I just laughed nervously, geez what is it with me and older girls? Though I never find myself blushing with Yujin unnie, maybe because I see her too much as a role model.

"Aw, you're so sweet thank you Wonyoung ah!"

She's still holding my hand by the way, her smile is really beautiful. Here I am expressing like I am in a "To all the boys I've loved before." bullshit. Too many crushes Wonyoung! But maybe? I mean they're just so ideal if you know what I am saying.

"Well, now that the baby is gone, what do you say we cook breakfast to the other members?"

I blush at the thought, us cooking together despite barely knowing each other? Also she always cooks alone.

"Wait, you want me to help?"

"Yeah, I want you to teach me how to make cook that ribeye steak of yours since all I know mostly is kimchi fried rice."

Gosh my gayness is showing just because she's showing interest in what I do, I am going to be nervous around this unnie.

So we started cooking and I started teaching her how to cook the steaks.

"Unnie, do you think they would like medium rare steaks or should we just do it well done?"

She did her thinking pose, lol how adorable can this unnie be?

"I think we'll do the medium rare for some other day, I don't think they'd like to see a little pink area in their meat very early in the morning."

I smiled, just like Sakura unnie even if she's not the leader she still thinks about the members like her kids.

"All righty then, let me show you the method of a juicy well done steak."

And that is how ended up looking like an odd couple like I was the spouse teaching my other half how to cook their kids favorite meal. If I was being honest that was a familiar scenario except we were washing dishes, gosh just how am I always connecting everything to you?

"Wow! look at you guys, it's like I'm seeing my mom and dad learn how to eat each others face out with how close you guys are. But you guys are cooking so it obviously won't happen."

I blushed at the comment Liz made. She's lucky this is too good of a moment or I'll be snarky towards her.

But the person behind her made me nervous, Yujin unnie was glaring at me.

"Gaeul unnie, I would like to talk to Wonyoung alone. Mind if I borrow her?"

"Sure thing! I already got the hang of this steak thingy."

I walked away and went inside Yujin unnie's room.

"So, what's up unnie?"

"You didn't think I'm dumb you see what you're doing?"

"I was just cooking with her unnie, what's wrong with that?"

She walks closer to me and even though I am the tall one she's the stronger one so I stepped back.

"I know you have a hard time moving on Wonyoung, you can't fool me. So I suggest you stop leading Gaeul unnie on, because unlike Izone this group has a better chance of being permanent."

I just looked down but Wonyoung cupped my face and it made me look into her face.

"If you do what I think you'll do then you will not just hurt Gaeul unnie, but you and the rest of this group as well. So think carefully Wonyoung ah."

After that conversation I was just staring blankly at the food while everyone is enjoying the steak Gaeul unnie made.

"Wonyoung ah what's wrong? is the steak not good?"

I quickly looked up and see her with a worried expression, I didn't want to hurt her so I finally tried.

"What are you talking about unnie!?! This steak is delicious!"

she smiled at me and I smiled back it's great that I at least was able to save the atmosphere around the table.
