Anti-Hero | I-Land & Enhypen

-Awkwardness & DNA-

TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault mentioned (not from any of the contestants, but in Hayley's memory.), violence.

We just had midpoint evaluation, and it was a mess.  Everyone said they weren't threatened by I Need U, and I honestly felt really bad for Jungwon. I could see the resentment he had towards me, when he said that if they did great, then it would have more impact. Sung Deuk said DNA team was whatever, and that Fake Love's performance was honestly painful to watch. 

We are currently consoling Taki, after the harsh words of the producers. "Don't cry Taki, Stop!" Hanbin said as he hugged Taki. "It's over Taki hyung." Daniel said. "Come here Taki, it's okay." I said and I opened my arms to hug him. "Don't worry Taki oppa, you just have to work on your timing." Iseul said. "You'll be fine kid." Dara said.

I was about to go hang out on the blue room, then I opened the door, and saw that Jungwon was there. We really haven't talked since our arguement. "Oh..." I said as I was about to go. "Wait Hayley, stay." Jake said. "I'm sorry, I forgot I told Jay we will practice." I said, and left to look for Jay. 

I opened the door to my room, he was there with Heeseung, and Dara. "Hey you!" I said as I sat beside Jay. "Hi! What you up to?" Jay asked me. "Practice?" I said. "Sure, let's go." He said.

"You know, I'm really worried about my ranking." Jay said as we sat in the middle of the room. Practice of course just meant hanging out in a practice room late night. "Why? I mean 9th in top 10 is a great ranking." "Yes, but it is also a cutting point." 

"They have no reason to cut you off." I said. "But what if I'm not enough." He said. "Don't worry drama queen, I trust you." I said as I held his hand. About this time at night, cameras were already off, meaning skinship was nothing to worry about. 

"I'm glad you think that, but you never know, when I'm going to let everyone down, and show them my skills are not that great." He said, as he laid his head on my lap. We usually did this after practice. I started playing with his hair.

"Jay, you're one of the most talented people I know. Your rank is 'low' because the viewers maybe haven't seen the side of Jay, that I know. You're always worried about looking cool, that sometimes, you forget to be yourself." I told him. "Hayley, cool's my second name." He said. "Yes, but your cool you, ain't necessarily yourself." I said. 

"Honestly, I don't know what I did to have a best friend like you." He said, as he sat down in front of me. "What? Beautiful, talented, intelligent, and wise? I don't know either." I said. "Yes, but mostly beautiful, inside, and outside." He said, and I couldn't help but to blush. "What? I'm making Hayley blush?" He got closerto me, and said teasingly. "Shut up. It's just, no one has ever told me that." I told him, as I looked directly into his eyes, and my heartbeat was skipping a couple beats.

"I'm really happy to be the first one to make you feel this way." He told me, as he started to lean in, and fixing his gaze in my lips. At this point I was blushing hard. I immediately stood up, and was about to leave, but as I stepped out of the practice room, Jungwon was just awkwardly standing there with widen eyes. 

"How long have you been there?" I asked. "Enough." He said, and left. I was super embarrassed, also out of all people, it had to be Jungwon? I had to tell someone, so I ran to the purple room.

"Help me, Sunoo!" I exclaimed as he came out of the bathroom. "What's up ? Are you okay? You look really pale." Sunghoon said. "More than you? That's impossible. Sunoo come, hurry." I said, and we head out.
