Do I Tell You I Love You?

CHAPTER 2: Protect her

                      {Hanbin's pov}

Nov 19th, 2016:

Today is the MMA 2016, we iKON had been so busy this whole year with the iKONcert 2016 SHOWTIME  tour 
And we will soon be touring Japan next.
So this is probably the only award show we will be able to attend this year—for information this attendance was nearly cancelled too.

And duo to all of that I didn't quite catch a glimpse of Lisa after that party—which was 2 months ago.
I wasn't in korea most of the time and she was really busy preparing for Blackpink's new songs—I had heard from Mino that they didn't came out from the studio and practice room often, he himself didn't see them much .
And even when we were preparing for this MMA performances yesterday we didn't meet up, I just saw her from a far as we held a little eye contact before she was rushed inside of their practice room.

So here I am sitting on one of the sofas in front of the stage alongside with my teammates and other idols. While I waited for Lisa to show up, and though I don't want to admit it,
I miss her. A lot.
I was keeping a cold poster trying to look as uncaring as I can. While every cell of my body was burning with the urge to see her.
My thoughts were suddenly cut off by that Fuck-head Ju-ne at my side.
"Hyung , you're waiting to see your girlfriend?" He asked in a teasing voice.
I wish she really was my girlfriend,but sorry to disappoint you Junhoe.

"None of your business , Junhoe."
"Aish! So cold !" He said as he did a little fake shiver to add a bonus for his mocking.
I ignored him as I catched some familiar figures walking toward us , a certain one catched my attention .
The whole world went black as the only thing I can see right now is that beautiful lady in Red.
Lalisa Manoban taking my breath away like always.

I tried hard to control my expression , keeping an icy one instead, as we were in front of the cameras.
From the corner of my eyes I can see both Ju-ne and Bobby-hyung eying me teasingly.
I couldn't help it but to lean on pretending to rub something off my eyes as I stole more glances at her.

And just like that The show continues as I kept stealing some glances at her from time to time . Which hopefully been unnoticed by most people... well...not all of them I guess . Especially that asshole Junhoe who can't seem to be leaving me alone tonight—it was wrong sitting beside him from the start, Chan-woo is definitely the safest option out of them.

   "you are staring."
   "I'm not starting," I finally tell Ju-ne , my voice flat. Uncaring .
   "You're looking at her again." Bobby-hyung said from his side.
   My head snap in his direction, my glare hard and cold, though he ignores me , his only admission he's aware being is that smirk curving his lips .
    "When do I not?" The question is sharp like a slap to the face , not that he cares . That fucker actually laughs at me . "Fuck all this waiting around, How long has it been? You should try and ask her out, again. Maybe she won't reject you this time."
I shift my position against the cold pillar I'm leaning against , my entire body Lax . Casual. Through deep inside, I'm coiled tight , my gaze going to her once more . Yet again .                  Always.                                                         
She was sitting there , talking with Chaeyoung ,wearing a serene smile on her face...Lalisa...friendly and sweet , and so goddamned beautiful, it almost hurts to look at her face for too long.
