Our Confession - Han Seojun ff

Chapter 4 = Sneaking out

I chug on my third bottle of water as I sit inside my car, my fists still clenched. I don't know what's taking manager so long. Probably they've begin writing the song too inside.

I don't know what has gotten into Suho that he's making such crazy decisions but one thing is for sure that I'll go crazy working in this company one day. If the things kept going on this way I would have to leave the group and join another agency and become a solo artist because they just can't draw conclusions without my consent. If he organizes this collab then I swear to God-

My thoughts are interrupted when the door of my company car slides open and the only person who shouldn't be here appears in front of me.

"What are you doing here?" I hop up from my seat out of shock and she hurriedly gets inside the car and slides the door close behind her.

"I sneaked out," Misoo says and I can see her legs trembling. Clearly, its the first time she has sneaked out.

"Why?" I ask with my teeth greeted as I close all the windows after checking if someone was around and thankfully no one was. "Please tell me no one saw you."

"You don't have to worry about that," she says as she sits on my now empty seat. "Our managers are planning the collaboration inside."

I sigh and sit on the other seat, "Just as I expected."

"You don't want to collaborate?" She asks whilst involuntarily tapping her feet on the ground.

"Isn't it clear enough," I say as I lie back in the seat and fold my arms.

"But what's wrong in it?" She asks and before I could answer anything my mind goes blank. I know I don't want to do this collaboration but I don't exactly know why.

"Its....." I start and then trail off. I was about to say 'uncomfortable' but that would make this girl sitting in front of me even more uncomfortable. "I don't think I can perform with a girl. Its too scandalous."

She chuckles. Not a mocking chuckle but an actual, real chuckle to lighten the mood, "We are already in a scandal."

"That is why I am saying this," I say, "I don't want this to grow even more."

"It would reduce rather than growing," she says, "If we sum this up as a collaboration it would be just a few day news to people and they would forget about it after a while. But if we claim that we were dating and have broken up or something like that then it won't pass by quickly." I listen coherently what she has to say and it is really surprising that for the first time she's not stuttering or blushing or embarrassed. "And a collaboration isn't that bad if you think about it. It would help us to explore new audience too and has potential to become successful. A huge part of the audience would die for a collaboration like this."

I tilt my head to one side and the same thing appears in my mind. Where have I seen her? I look down at her thigh and it is still jumping and falling repeatedly with nervousness. Even though she is nervous right now, she looks in much better condition then in the office or at the event last night.

"Ms Misoo, have we met before?" I ask her and she freezes.

"What?" She says, her voice coming out hoarse and almost stuck in her throat.

I fold my arms, "I don't know but since the time I've met you I feel like I have seen you somewhere."

She freezes for a split second and I could see sweat forming over her forehead. She touches her forehead and I pass her a tissue to wipe it off.

"You shall take your coat off, the car is warm enough." I say and she just nods while tapping the tissue on her forehead.

"So are you considering the collaboration?" She asks after she's done wiping her forehead. I roll my lips and think about it a little. If I look at it this way, I guess she really is right. After all its better then dating rumors. "If you're not sure yet then you should think about it with a cool mind and then answer. There's no hast until tonight."

I don't know why but at the next moment, I chuckle. For the first time in days at the idiocy of the situation. She tilts her head and stares at me in confusion. "What?"

"You really sneaked out for the first time in your life to convince me?" I ask and I couldn't hold back a giggle.

She shrugs, "Some people have unique first times you know."

I smile apologetically, "I should be the one to convince you around as you got in such a controversy because of me and got your clean record ruined. And here I am making you chase me." I look down at my feet as an apology. Even though my group members would definitely think she likes me when I tell them about this incident, it still is too much even if she does.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed of," she says and I look up from the ground to her face and this time she is looking down. In a very quiet and negligible voice I hear her say something like "its not entirely your fault" but I don't ask her about it because I am not sure if she really said that. I look at her feet and they have stopped tapping which means she has relaxed finally.

She looks up from the ground and then gets up, "I should go back now," she says, "....before my manager realizes that I am gone." I don't know why but all of a sudden, I feel disappointed.

She slides the door open and before she can walk out, I call for her. She turns around and slides the door close. "What?" She asks.

"It was nice to meet you, Ms Kim Misoo." I say.

Her face goes red again and she smiles, "It was nice to meet you too, Mr Han Seo Jun." She says before walking out of the car and sliding the door close behind her.
