love ME (redone)

The Live

Jeongin's POV

I asked her out in front of Seungmin.
I knew it was evil, but I stood in front of her, reminding her of everything she could have if she had me.

"Um..." she began to answer.
Han walked through Minho's door.
He gave me a death stare and walked away like I had stolen his gal or something.
(He doesn't have a girl and I'm pretty convinced he never will. Like Seungmin. Wow a perfect pair).

"May I remind you.." I hoped she'd get the hint by my pose that I told her Seungmin was gay. Like, I know he's not , but he might as well be since his communication with women is as good as a bag of grass. I hope the members haven't given him inspirational 'you can do it' type of speeches. He can't and won't ever date. Shame.

"Yeah" she said, almost as if she didn't want to go through with it.
"So it's official. We are a pair. Anyway, you need to go to work. I'll walk you there, just get dressed real quick" I said, pushing her into Seungmin's room and shutting the door.

I bowed liked I had finished a great performance, stuck my tongue out at Seungmin and danced out the room with pure joy.
I knew she'd say yes, but I didn't expect to feel this happy about it.
This gorgeous man wasn't single anymore! Take that Seungmin! I win!

I walked Olivia to her workplace.
"I can't believe I've never heard of Stray Kids before" she said, looking guilty.
"I'm surprised too. We're very popular"
"I was more into stuff like The Weeknd, but I'll give Stray kids a liste-"
"Listen to Hug Me. My song. Think of us when you read the lyrics" I said proudly.
"Sure thing" she smiled and looked shy, Googling the song on her phone.

I forgot how to be my boastful self for a moment. I turned into a... Seungmin?!

"I wrote this song for the perfect person who comes into my life. I thought whilst thinking of a song to write, what's the most comforting thing, and it's simple really. A hug. I guess it's just a gift from me to you. I want to get to know you more" I smiled at her. The inside of me wanted to cringe so bad, but at the same time, it felt good.

She looked shocked.
Why?

"I... that's so cute Jeongin" she continued reading through the lyrics, a permanent smile plastered across her face.

We reached her workplace.
"See you, Jeongin" she smiled at me.
"Bye" I replied, waiting for her to enter.
I couldn't help but hug her before she went in. Her cheeks were bright red as she went in finally.
Off he goes again. Good old me doing what he does best. Haha.

"We're starting in 10 minutes" a staff member yelled to us all.

"PLEASE. I BEG OF YOU. PLEASE DON'T" Hyunjin was yelling and pleading to the hairstylist not to cut his hair. He had tears streaming down the sides of his face, the makeup coming off immediately.
"Hyunjin! Your makeup!" She angrily stood him up and reapplied it.
"If you cut my hair I'll make you bald when you're sleeping" he blurted.
"Hyunjin!"
"Suzi! I ain't a child, miss. I'm a 23 year old man who wants his hair long. Is that too much to ask?"
She sighed and gave up in the end.
I kind of wanted her to do it.

"JEONGIN!" Felix ran up to me, panicked.
"What's up?"
"Apparently Chan is mad at you"
"Oh, not Chan. He's so scary when he's mad"
I never get scared of Minho, but Chan is something else.

"Jeongin, can we talk?" Changbin asked, leaning against the wall.
"Okay?"
"Why'd you do it?"
"Do what?"
"You know what"
He wasn't making anything clear.
"What do I know?"
"Seungmin's girl"
"My girl, actually. Did Seungmin not tell you? We're official. She's the one who said yes and she likes Hug Me" I smiled and walked off.

Is was not going to let them spoil my happy mood.

The door to one of the staff rooms opened. Seungmin stood there.
We both stared at each other for about 40 seconds, not knowing what to say.
Bearing in mind we are (or were) super close, this is the furthest apart I've ever felt from him.

"Jeongin" Chan greeted me in a rude tone and walked off with Seungmin's hand in his own.

The live had already started.
We were in this room where I was sat on the floor in between Felix and Seungmin. Lucky me, right?

Everyone was acting the usual but you could definitely feel some sort of atmosphere.

"We have these games to play!" Hyunjin said proudly, pointing to a few activities near the camera where the live was being broadcasted. The things we do for stay, huh.

"Right, first of all, let's do arm wrestles because we need to get our energy going" Changbin flexed.
Chan kept glaring at me.

"Let's spin the wheel. Han, care to do it?" Felix said, trying to make peace. I could feel the awkward tension between them.
Was this because of us?

Han spun it.
First time it landed on me.
"Come on Jeongin! We believe in you!" Chan said, almost completely sarcastically.
"Our youngest doesn't go to the gym at all anymore" Changbin said, patting me on the back.
So is he not mad? And why is he saying 'our youngest' like he's married to Chan's ms they have 6 kids?

"Spin it again Han" Minho said, getting bored already. You could tell he was trying, but he looked exhausted. Again, is it because of us?
It began to spin and I could see it slowly turn on Felix, but ending up just about on Seungmin.
"Ahh the two youngest. Let's see how this goes" Hyunjin laughed.

I sat at one end of the table, Seungmin opposite me. We were both on our knees.
I put my arm out for him to grab on to.
He hesitated for a while.
"What? Scared you're gonna lose"
"Scared? Why would I be scared?" He asked, trying to act like he usually would on lives.
"I don't know" I shook it off.

"3, 2, 1, GO!" The members yelled.
Our faces were close together, we were at equal strength.
"Are you scared that I'll win, again?"
He looked at me, already starting to sweat.
"I don't care who wins"
"But you care about other things, don't you. Things you have to end up accepting"
"Shut up Jeongin the live might catch what you're saying"
"Are you scared to lose this like you lost your little crush?"
"I said shut up Jeongin!"
"Too bad. No coffee machine, no girlfriend. Must suck to be you"
"I SAID ENOUGH JEONGIN"
And with that, the kid with hardly any muscle strength had pulled my arm down to the table, winning the match.
The members cheered for him, but that was only to cover up his little outburst.

"I'm going to get some water" he lied and ran off into another room.
Why so dramatic Seungmin, I didn't say anything to hurt you.
What a child.

Chan was now worsening the glare, making me uncomfortable the whole entire time we were doing other stuff. I know Jisung wasn't happy either.

"Bye stay!"
The live had ended.
They all looked at me and Seungmin.

"One call or email from JYP and you're dead. Both of you" Changbin said loudly.
He walked up to Seungmin and whispered to him, patting him on the back as he left.

He's yelling at both of us whilst picking sides too? What are Stray Kids anymore? A bunch of 5 year olds? Because that's what it feels like, but they are just going to have to face the fact that it's me and Olivia now.
Not seungmin and Olivia.
Me and her forever.
