Seventeen Imagines

Wonwoo: the one (pt. 1)

Wonwoo's friends have never seen him interested in any women before. He's one of the most popular people in university yet never gives anyone attention. At least until you came along. A few years ago there was a rumor about Wonwoo that spread, accusing him of being gay since he doesn't talk to women. But that wasn't true. He didn't bother arguing with people over his sexuality so his friends always defended his image instead.

You're new to the university and somehow ended up having the exact same classes as Wonwoo and his friends. On your first day three men greeted you and befriended you immediately while their other friend ignored your existence. They were Mingyu, Hansol and Seungcheol, later finding out that Wonwoo was the quiet one. Out of all the guys in your new friend group you found Wonwoo the most attractive and alluring. You're drawn to his mysteriousness.

Wonwoo's friends warned you that he doesn't warm up to new people, especially women. But you only took that as a challenge. Not only because you thought he was handsome but because you wanted to find out why he's the way he was. Something inside you knew you could get him to crack eventually. Because who wouldn't talk to someone as sociable as you?

Months go by and you've gotten close with the guys, as well as made a couple of female friends you hang out with all the time. A few weeks after you met Wonwoo and his best friends you noticed him picking on you out of the blue. You had been pestering him and purposely giving him attention that he didn't want, every single day, until one day Wonwoo flicked the tip of your nose to get you to stop bothering him. Then another day he pushed your forehead with the palm of his hand to get you away from him. Then another day Wonwoo started calling you names like "idiot", "annoying", "bossy", "shorty", "hobbit". And as the days turned to weeks, turned to months, Wonwoo continued to tease you for your height, your personality, the clothes you'd wear, the things you liked to talk about and so on.

One day you're studying in the university library with Seungcheol and Hansol and the topic of crushes came up. Actually, you started the conversation, asking the two men who they had crushes on at the university. Hansol admitted there was a girl in one of his classes he really liked while Seungcheol declined answering the question. You and Hansol tried pestering the older friend but he kept his resolve and ended up redirecting the conversation onto you. Seungcheol asked if you liked anyone and you rolled your eyes.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Yeah, it is." Hansol chuckled loudly, then was hushed by a librarian nearby.

"Why do I have to have a crush on the hardest person to talk to?" You sighed.

You put your left elbow on the table and held your face up with your hand, squishing your face in a defeated way. Wonwoo's best friends were well aware of your feelings for him because you weren't afraid to express them, while Wonwoo chose to pretend your advances weren't happening. But something Seungcheol and Hansol both said brightened your mood a tiny bit.

"Well if it makes you feel any better you're making progress." Seungcheol stated.

You raised your head up and a curious look appeared on your face. You had them continue explaining what Seungcheol meant.

"How so?"

"He teases you, right? That's more than anyone else gets." Hansol said.

"Yeah. Teasing is kind of like Wonwoo's love language."

Even though the guys said you were making progress you still felt like everything had plateaued for you. You took what little attention Wonwoo gave you anyways because at least he was talking to you. But after a while it was beginning to bother you. You were expecting to make better progress with Wonwoo, maybe get to know him better and actually have a real conversation with him, but it hasn't happened yet. All the information you get about Wonwoo is secondhand, mostly from his friends and your two girlfriends Yubyeol and Jiwon.
