Swear I feel you in my memory
I think I've seen you in my dreams
Maybe you and I have history
But I don't think you know me

Have We Met Before by Sarah Barrios and Eric Nam

(This is basically Chapter 6 in Johnny's POV, but I wanted y'all to get a feel for his mindset)

Johnny POV

I walked into the sunny courtyard and scanned the area for somewhere to sit. I had signed up for an art class, since the school didn't offer photography, and was looking for somewhere quiet to draw. I saw an empty table across from Ten and his posse, and decided that would be the best place to draw and observe.

"Johnny-hyung!"

Shotaro ran up to my table and sat on the edge of it.

"Hey Shotaro."

"What are you doing here?"

I looked around before leaning in and whispering, "I'm on a mission."

Shotaro's eyes widened, "Really?! Who's the target?"

"The less you know the better."

"Okaaaay." He said reluctantly. "I gotta go, so see ya later. Can't wait for the meeting tomorrow!"

I had promised Shotaro that he could come with us to the monthly organizations' meeting, but I had yet to ask our leader for permission. Shotaro ran off and I sighed before flipping to a clean page in my sketchbook. I looked around for inspiration, and then I heard a voice.

"Thank Jisoos! I'm starving."

I glanced over Ten's table and saw him slurping up noodles at record speed. He only stopped to say something to a blonde girl at the table.

"So that's the future leader of WayV?" I scoffed. "How classy."

I turned my head back to my still blank page. I drummed my pencil against the table and was deep in thought when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw Ten in front of me.

I had to admit that he was a good looking guy. With cat like eyes and pink lips. His skin was a nice tan shade, and he showed it off in a crop top and ripped jeans. He stared at me for a few seconds, and he snapped out of his daze when I spoke.

"Can I help you?"

"I-I'm sorry if I'm bothering you. You're sitting alone, and I don't want you to feel lonely on your first day."

"Oh. Thanks," I replied, wanting the conversation to be over.

"May I sit?"

I fought the urge to roll my eyes, "Yeah. Go ahead."

I was about the go back to trying to draw and ignoring him when he suddenly spoke in English.

"Whatcha drawing?"

I was caught off guard, so it took me a second to respond, "Can't think of anything. I'm better at photography, but I consider drawing as a way to discreetly photography people."

I mentally slapped myself. Why was I sharing so much about myself with the enemy?!

The giggle he let out sounded like ringing bells, "Makes sense."

Against my wishes, I smiled at him. He stared back at me in surprise, and I wanted to laugh at the dumbfounded look on his face.

"I'll see you around, Johnny," He got up and went back to his friends."

I shook my head and stared at my paper once again. The look on Ten's face was burned into my mind, and I smirked as I put pencil to paper. I finally knew what to draw.


Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this look into Johnny's mind. The next three or so chapters will be about the meeting that Johnny mentioned. I'm looking forward to writing it, and I have so many ideas for what to do with it.

Anygays, I'll see you in the next chapter!
