✓ His eyes • Riki Nishimura

XVIV.

"Why didn't you sit next to me?" Niki asked me silently, but I didn't say anything. Niki chuckled through his smirk and then sighed. He leaned back on the couch, the smirk still on his face.

"So you won't even talk to me?" he asked again in a whisper. I looked at him and saw his eyes already on me. After a few seconds, Niki's eyes drifted to my lips and then he sighed again. His eyes dropped to my hands as he reached for one of them and intertwined our fingers together.

"Okay, let's start the live," the staff said as they were done fixing the camera. I tried to pull my hand away but Niki just held it stronger and tighter. "Niki- let go!" I screamed in a whisper and Niki just chuckled.

We started the live and soon we were already reading the comments and talking to the fans and with each other.

"SUNOO YOU LOOK SO CUTE TODAY!" Heeseung read out loud and Sunoo smiled and said thank you.

"Y/n, I love your dress, can you tell me where can I find it?" Jay said "Ahhh, I told her the same thing. This dress is probably one of my favorites from her closet," Jay added and all of the boys agreed.

While the boys were talking I read some comments in silence. That was when I saw a few comments like, "GUYS!!! WHY ARE Y/N AND NIKI HOLDING HANDS?!?!?!" "Are Niki and Y/n dating? I can see them holding hands" and "There is no way they at least don't have a crush on each other". And I feel like Niki saw some of them too because he moved his hand to the back together with mine. Now I was begging God that no one from the boys read any of the comments that said anything about Niki and me.

But I guess luck wasn't on my side as Sunoo started reading out loud "Niki, I feel like you should ask Y/n out already. We all know how much you love her and we saw you both holding hands. Or are you both already together?"

I got shy and leaned back as I again tried to pull my hand from Niki. "Guys, you are right, I like Y/n and I would like to ask her out, but I also know that at least half of you guys won't like it so even if I ask her out, you will know it later," Niki said and my eyes winded. "NO, BUT GUYS FOR REAL! Y/N AND NIKI-" Sunghoon was about to expose us when Jungwon almost jumped on Sunghoon and covered his mouth. "Shut up," I saw Jungwon whispering to Sunghoon and he nodded. Jungwon then fake laughed and sat back down in his place.

30 or so more minutes passed and we ended the live. "Okay, you all can go and rest for today and tomorrow too. You worked hard this and the other week so enjoy your free time," the staff said and all of us bowed to the staff before walking out.

Me and Niki were behind everyone else as we all were walking down the hall but Niki was walking a bit further than me. I stopped for a few seconds because I thought that I forgot something back in the room. No one noticed that I stopped and continued walking. After I made sure I had everything I looked in front of me and was about to run to the boys but then someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth.
