Star Planet I - Boys Planet / Zerobaseone Added Members (COMPLETED)

Chapter Four: Fast

"Gio! Wait!" Footsteps hurried toward me as I was making my way to the showers. It had been a long ass day and all I wanted was to catch some sleep and rise earlier than everyone else to train. I already had a stalker and I was not feeling it. One of my newfound roommates was a complete pain in my ass and I had known her for a good hour and a half.

"Yes, Jisoo?" I sighed and stopped, clutching my shower basket tightly.

She skidded in front of me with an overly excited smile painted on her face. Her short red bob was still swinging with the effort it had taken to follow me through the Star Planet hallways. 

She showed me her decorated shower basket by raising her left arm over her head. "Isn't it cute?"

The thing looked about the farthest thing from cute, as it was bright orange with neon yellow lettering and several severed doll heads hanging of the sides.

"Yeah..." I shrugged. "I guess." I wasn't about to make my first enemy on my first night here. Even though I couldn't stand her at all.

I shared a room with three girls, the other two, Ara and Briar, seemed cool at least. They also appeared to know each other from their company, which left me in the bunk bed below Jisoo. It also looked like Jisoo had claimed me as her friend in the room, since the other two had each other. I needed to get the fuck out of this situation somehow, but we won't switch rooms until the first elimination.

I started walking and she followed me to the shower block.

I remained silent while she kept on talking about things I was tuning out on. I did catch she had seen my season of Rap Battle Star and had been following me ever since. 

Great. Just great.

I was walking faster and faster, seeking the refuge of a lone shower stall, when I rounded a corner way too fast and straight up ran into a hard chest with a loud thud, rattling the teeth in my mouth.

Hollering male laughter sounded through the corridors as I fell hard on my ass. My shower basket skidded away towards a random bedroom and Jisoo hurried after it.

"Where are you going so fast, jagi?" The guy I had run over offered his hand to help me up. I took it reluctantly, making sure I was scowling up at the kid. Because that was what he was. A kid. He didn't look like one - not at all - with his impressive built, height and physique, but when I had heard his age earlier during the auditions, I had dismissed him entirely. I was four years older and out of this kid's league.

His eyes sparkled as I rose and he hadn't released my hand yet. I was a head shorter than him and when I finally stood upright, I got way closer than I was expecting. Now I could clearly feel the muscles beneath that white shirt and a fresh ocean scent drifted my way. He had showered recently because his dark hair was still wet.

We stayed like that for a second too long. Our eyes were talking about intentions he shouldn't be feeling. Not during this show. Not during training. Nope.

I stepped back as if he had zapped me.

Jisoo choose that moment to hand me back my basket.

"Oh hey, Gunwook," She said as she waved to him and I saw his eyes trail to her scary-looking shower basket. His brows rose a little in surprise before his eyes crinkled with laughter.

"Hi Jisoo," he gave me another broad smile before clarifying while pointing at my roommate, "we are in the same company."

I nodded, their company was represented the most in here so it was no surprise. I was not really interested in chit chatting any longer. I had shit to do.

"Well, goodnight to you both!" I shouldered passed Gunwook, who was blocking the entry to the showers.

"Not so fast!" Jisoo sing-songed as she followed me again, "I'm coming with you remember? We share the same room!"

That didn't mean anything, but I guess at Star Planet it did.
