avoidance and endless thoughts.

Just understand how i'll be feeling on that day.
It's just like seeing her for the first time.

song for the chapter!!
for the first time : marc demarco

"I'm Kim Mi-Sol! It's a pleasure to meet you!" That voice, even after all these years.. it never changed. It was still as beautiful as before. Hazel eyes that took you into a trance of wonder and heartfelt feelings. The vanilla scent that reminded you of christmas morning, filled with happiness.

'No. This can't be happening. This isn't happening. This isn't real.'

Hyungwon wanted to pinch himself and wake up from the dream he was in, his eyes closing tight in hopes of the girl disappearing but even after the 2 minutes of darkness. Eyes opening back up, she was still there.. standing so beautiful.

"Isn't she lovely? Sol, this is—" Minhyuk went down the line of the boys, introducing them all. Hyungwon kept silent as his eyes didn't move an inch away from the girl in front of him. "This is Changkyun, Kyun or I.M-" Oh no, he was next. Hyungwon could feel his anxiety rising higher and higher, the hand that was gripping tightly onto the cup was turning red. His breathing getting heavier and heavier.

"And last but not least we have-" A sudden thump of the glass hitting the bar, the tall male turned quickly and walked away. All eyes were on him as he tripped over his feet, trying his best to get out of there as soon as he could. The door being pushed open, he gasped for air. It was suffocating, not knowing what to do. His mouth was dry, he felt his stomach starting to turn, a nauseating feeling controlling his insides. One sudden move could be the end of him. His vision went blurry, hearing fading in and out.

Meanwhile, inside.

"Is he okay? Did I say-" The girl watched the male scurry away like she was some type of contagious disease. "No! Of course not! Hyungwonie is just a little shy." Minhyuk reassured and smiled, "Hyungwonie?" She asked softly as she looked at the door, seeing the male figure gone and out of sight.

"Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. Let's go get some drinks!" The blonde male offered before pulling her away. She waved goodbye to the others, letting herself be dragged away.

'Hyungwonie.'

"That name is too.. cutesy." Hyungwon mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest with a puff. "It is.. but it's a cute name that I wanna call you!" Sol whined, hands grabbing ahold of his as she tugged.

"Why can't it be something else? like Dooly. Everyone calls me that." He suggested, but Sol shook her head and looked at him. "Everyone calls you Dooly, that's exactly why I should have my own nickname for you. Something only I get to call you." She gave a determined smile, the boy gave her one glance before sighing.

"Fine." He mumbled. Sol gasped excitedly and gave him a tight hug, her laugh filling his ears drums. "Hyungwonie it is."

The storm was over. Feet dragging themselves against the concrete floor, hands clenching tight against the palm of his sweater. 'Dreams never sounded better.'

He dragged himself into his room, door shutting behind him. The layers of clothing ripped off his body and thrown onto the floor, feeling lighter. A small huff came out his mouth before falling onto the bed, cold sheets giving him a welcome back.
