That Month In May. Joshua Hong x Reader

64. From There To There.

Eunhi's Pov.

Next week.

I continued to walk normally but with a bandage around my foot. But everytime I always started to encounter Yeonjun and his group after that event.

"Noona!" He waved.

"Hey. What did you want to do again?" I fixed up my shoulder bag and he smiled like a cheeky fox.

"Let's hang out today!" He smiled, walking beside me.

"Well I can't turn back now, can I?" I folded my arms, coming to a halt.

"Nope." He smirked.

"Where do you want to go first?" I raised my brows, taking no interest.

"I heard that there's a good restaurant here." He showed on his phone and I nodded, going wherever he wanted to, to just please him. But I must admit, he has made me feel less lonely than my first days in America.

I didn't want to be overall that cold towards him, just because I can't move on. "Why do you want to hang out with me?"

"I feel lonely." He said so sadly but with a smile upon his face.

"What about the rest of your members?" I wondered, saying my thoughts to him.

"They're great! But it's been hard just making any other friends out of that group." He sighed, running his hand through his hair. "And..you're the only one who seems to give the attention that I want." He shrugged.

"I see." It seems he may be a little more lonely than I am. "It must be hard. I'm sorry. Especially being that young." I patted his shoulder.

"But I heard you debuted at a young age too..?" He asked and it did remind me.

"Oh that's right. But I always had people around me, everywhere I looked." Just seeing all 13 boys standing there in my mind made me relieve my thoughts.

"We're here! What do you want to order?" We walked to the front desk, staring at the menus above.

"I guess I'll have the delicacy." I pointed and he nodded, speaking for me.

"I'll order! You can find a table for us." He put up a thumbs up at me and I agreed. I found a clean and perfect table for ourselves by the window.

I placed my elbows above and watched people pass by the restaurant. It's so strange how I'm probably living my life pretty nicely and then someone on the other side was struggling. It was strange but upsetting to think about.

"I'm back-!" He came back with a number and a receipt.

"Oh- you paid? I could've paid-" I took out my bag and he placed his hand on my hand as he shook his head.

"No need." He pushed my hand back to put my bag down on the chair. "I know I'm taking up your time so this is the least I could do." He huffed with a weak grin.

"You sure?" I felt bad.

"Of course!" He exclaimed. "Just have fun today hm?" Yeonjun scouted for the meal and I checked the date today. It was late summer. It's going to be Winter soon.

My last winter didn't go overall well. Just thinking about me giving back that ring and my confusion and anger with him wearing that bracelet even after doing such things to me. But anger wasn't my only feeling there. Betrayal, sadness maybe. I cherished him so much but not long after that..he left me.

"Eunhi!" I snapped my head towards Yeonjun, realizing I had not listened. "Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.

"Sorry, just got work on my mind." I chuckled.

"You're a definite workaholic." He laughed, seeming quite amused with my dozing off.

"I guess." I scratched my head but, behind all that was just me thinking about that guy again.

I don't know when I'll ever learn.

"Thank you for waiting. Enjoy your meal." The employee came with the tray of food and we thanked them. Afterwards, we enjoyed our food together, just talking about daily life.

Joshua's Pov.

I hung out with Jeonghan again. "Shua." He suddenly said as we walked on the rustling leaves.

"Yeah?" I waited for answer as we just stared at the floor.

"Are you still wearing the bracelet?" He asked.

"I am." I replied, fiddling with my bracelet. I never wanted to take it off anyways.

"Do you think the others are still wearing it?" His questions were becoming a bit questionable.

"Most likely." I answered his 2nd question.

"So do you still like Eunhi?" He was making me slowly bring myself into the topic. But I can't lie anymore can I?

"I do. I really love her." I sighed, fixing my jacket.

"I can tell." He placed his hand on my shoulder with a smile.

"Is it obvious..?" I touched my face and he shook his head.

"No. You're a pretty good actor actually. We thought you actually betrayed us." Jeonghan kept on walking and I jogged up to him to keep at his same pace.

"Aha! Really?." I didn't want to remember that time..I mean it wasn't even that long ago either.

"Mhm. But I'm still glad you're back." He patted my back and I said nothing. How should I reply to something like that? We went to go take pictures for our instagram and went back home by ourselves.
