Twice One Shots

24. Falling in Love with Chaeyoung at a Fansign (2)

Up for a chat? Call me after. :) - Chaeyoung

   During the rest of the fansign event, this was all you could think about. The first few times you read it you thought your mind was playing tricks on you. When you got back to your and Haneul's apartment though, you realized that you had smudged the marker a little and realized that it indeed was real. You sat down on the couch, still holding the album, trying to process the day.

   "Can I see your album? I want to look at all the signatures." Haneul was standing behind you and reached for the album in your hand, but you quickly moved it away. You stood up and turned towards her, holding it behind your back.

   "Uhhh... why do you need to see mine? We have the same album and they were signed by the same people." You tried your best to not look guilty of hiding something, but every action you had made and every word you said painted a target on you.

   Haneul narrowed her eyes and slowly started to move from behind the couch. When you took a step backward, Haneul took a step forward. This continued until you were eventually bumping into the wall by the TV.

   "Why are you hiding your album from me? Is there something on it that you don't want me to see?" Haneul raised her eyebrow and leaned over, seeing the album still in your hand behind your back.

   You just shook your head and shrugged your shoulders, trying to play it off. "No. I just want to cherish this album and be the only one who holds it and looks at it." You let out a nervous laugh and stood there, unable to move from the metaphorical corner you had backed yourself into.

   Unfortunately, Haneul was faster and taller than you so when you finally made a move to get the album to the safety of your room, she had already grabbed you and taken the album. She laughed in triumph and jogged to the other side of the room, flipping the album over to see what you had been hiding from her. She scanned the album, seeing just the signatures of the Twice members, but once she flipped it over to the side with the smudged writing, her eyes widened in disbelief.

   "Up for a chat? Call me after." Haneul read what Chaeyoung had written aloud and looked you dead in the eyes. "Are you serious? Son Chaeyoung, who is a member of one of the most famous girl groups in Korea right now wrote this on your album?" There wasn't much to say since you were still trying to process everything yourself so you just gave your friend a small nod and a shy smile.

   The room was silent for a moment before Haneul ran over to you and forcefully put the album back into your hands. "You have to call her! This is like the chance of a lifetime!" She looked at you with determination and a huge smile. You could tell that she as as surprised about this as you were and maybe even more excited.

   "But what if it was just a joke? Maybe she didn't really mean to give me her number." You looked down at the album and back up at Haneul.

   "So what! That's still something you have that other Onces don't! You can say that Son Chaeyoung was fooling you with her number or even a fake number." Haneul was bouncing on the balls of her feet now she was so excited.

   You thought for a moment before taking a step back. "Okay. I'm gonna do it. But I need you to promise me that if I do this in my room with the door closed that you won't listen in if she really did give me her number." Haneul nodded so hard that you thought she was going to get whiplash. She held her pinky out for a promise and you wrapped yours around hers, sealing it by bringing your thumbs together.
