ON HOLD‼️ Wallflower: Lee Yeonjin |I-Land| ENHYPEN

꧁EPISODE 17꧂

Shit.

I spin around in my seat as I hear my name being called. Making eye contact with Jake when I turn back around he gives me a knowing look and I sigh.

The boy comes into view of the two of us and we look expectantly at him, "Oh- your together... Well we're about to start discussing so me and Geonu was gonna come find you two but I already did, so let's go."

I exchange a look with Jake and he shrugs his shoulders getting up from his spot on the stool in process. We all walk to the practice room in a comfortable silence with Heeseung a few feet ahead of us.

"You think he heard us?" The Aussie boy says over his shoulder leaning more towards me.

I glance at him from the corner of my eye before I fully turn my head towards him, "I sure hope not" I mumble as we're taking our last steps before we're right in front of the door.

"Any recommendations for the vocal unit?" Seon calls out just as me and Jake are getting settled down next to Geonu and Youngbin.

"I recommend Jaebeom hyung, Geonu hyung, and Heeseung hyung." Sunghoon raises his hand as he speaks, getting everyone's attention.

"I am confident I can do well if you'll let me." Geonu stutters a little but nevertheless is confident with his position.

Eventually Geonu is officially chosen as one of the vocal representatives, "Heeseung, do you want to sing?" K suddenly asks.

Everyone around nodding along to others say the boy was good at everything so it was hard to choose what he should do.

My eyes watched as Heeseung fidgeted while listening to the others discuss what he should do without asking him his input.

He was shy? Nervous even.

I looked away from the boy before he caught me staring and my mind drifted to the incident last time.

Just a few days ago the people who were talking about him being good at everything are the very same people that wanted him to give up his role as leader.

And it frightened me.

It frightened me how fast these guys could switch up.

How easily Heeseung forgave them like it was nothing.

"Yeonjin"

It made me cautious.

"Noah!"

Looking up being snapped out of my thoughts I look at Jay as he looks at me expectantly, "What?" I ask confused.

Around me chuckles erupt from the contestants, "Seon asked if you wanted to dance?" He says quirking a brow up.

My eyes widen and I stumble over my words, "I mean I- I don't mind, it's not a big deal if someone does it instead of me." I say waving my hands in front of me brushing the idea off.

Looking around I scan everyone's faces, "Does anyone else want to do it?"

"Noah, c'mon you have to do it!"

"Yeah, you're one of the best dancers here!"

I look down and stare at my hands. Considering my health I don't think I would be good for the job. I mean believe me I would really like to be a representative, but... I don't wanna disappoint everyone. So I make my decision.

Sighing I look up. My finger are picking at the skin of my arm and my eyes flutter nervously as I open my mouth to decline the offer, "I don't think I'm right for the role right now. If anything happens later and we need a sub then I'll definitely consider, but for now now someone else should do it." I say hesitantly but sure of myself.

They may not know about my health issues, but others do and I notice it in the way two people glance at me knowingly. One in particular staring at the now irritated skin on my wrist.

I make eye contact with Jungwon and he mutters something under his breath looking away from my hands after I've caught him staring.

Pulling my sleeves down a little I listen in as the others start to recommend people for the dance unit.

Jay is soon chosen for the dance unit and Heeseung speaks up finally, "I recommend K" the other agree and K silently claps his hands while smiling.

"I was also going to say Noah, but seeing as he's already declined that's out of question." He chuckles and glances at me out of the corner of his eye. Which doesn't go unnoticed by me.

Finally the third dance representative is approved by everyone- the person being Jungwon. We all agree and state again that the reps can be changed at any time if necessary.

"Okay so all the representatives are chosen. Let's quickly choose our rooms and come back."

༺𐮙✧𐮙༻

After choosing rooms I ended up with Geonu, Jake, and Jungwon. Geonu's bed was closest to the door and Jungwons was closest to the wall. My bed was next to Jake's and Jungwons.

We situated our things and I put my backpack on my bed and my other bag filled with personal items next to the bedside table.

My eyes caught Jungwons as he was finishing putting his things away.

For some reason there was this awkward tension between him and me and I didn't like it.

Not one bit.

Taking a deep breath I get up and step towards the younger boy. I grip his elbow and he turns to me with a confused expression.

"Hyung?" He looks at my hand.

"We need to talk..." our eyes connect and I decide to drop his arm feeling awkward.

"I was gonna spe-" he gets cut off by a voice at the door.

"Hey we're all gonna go to the green room to talk and ease the tension between everyone. Y'all coming?" Yoonwon gestures to us four in the room.

I nod my head and turn to Jungwon to see his expression, "We'll talk later, hyung." He smiles lightly and moves backward giving our bodies some space seeing as the other people in the room look at us skeptically.

I turn around and catch Jake wiggling his eyebrows teasingly. "Mate, don't ever do that again, you look funny." Jake chuckles and jumps up off his bed roughly ruffling up my hair making it raise up in different directions.

Groaning I fix my hair as I catch up with the Aussie boy heading to the green room down the hall.

He looks back at me with an amused glint in his eye. "C'mon you slow poke, what's takin' you so long?" He nods his head gesturing for me to come along and I grin.

Yup, this is definitely my best mate.

Never thought I would find one again.

Especially this fast...
