chapter 11 | disaster strikes

yena's pov:

"people kinda maybe saw you, me, jisung and sa-ren in the restaurant last night.. and now there may or may not be a ton of news articles floating around-"

"WHAT?" i blurt out, the stress immediately overtaking my body. i wasn't prepared for the public release that i was in the group for at least a couple weeks.

minho realised how i was reacting and that i was beginning to hyperventilate over this new situation. "hey, hey, yen. it's okay, don't worry, we're gonna figure it out, okay?"

i nod, taking deep breaths to help calm myself down, as minho places his hands on my shoulders to help comfort me. then a thought came to my mind, "do... do you think they saw..."

"saw what?" he asked softly, seemingly unsure of what i was getting at. but as soon as a small smirk appeared on his face, i knew that he knew exactly what i was talking about. he wanted the words to come out of my mouth.

i gulped. "the whole... thing you did. i dunno.. gosh minho! you know exactly what i'm talking about!"

"i have no idea what you're on about," he laughs. "what did i do, yena? tell me."

"y-you, uh..... you got all, close.. and everything," i cough out, and he raised his eyebrow, obviously expecting more of an answer. i inhale before finishing my embarrassing mess of a sentence, bright red blush creeping up onto my cheeks, "y-you touched me. right in front of ji and sa-ren too... so i wouldn't be surprised if someo-"

i was caught completely off guard when minho took a tight grip on my shoulder and pushed me onto the bed, pinning me down underneath him firmly, so that i couldn't move.

"but you liked it when i touched you, didn't you?"

my entire body froze under his seductively stern gaze, my cheeks reddening by the second at what he said. i avoided making eye contact with him, attempting to look elsewhere; anywhere at all but him.

"yen, look at me." he says, his deep morning voice making the experience even more difficult. i shut my eyes tightly, wanting to avoid it for as long as i possibly could. but of course, that was short-lived.

"yen." he spoke, strongly this time, practically forcing me to look at him as he used his free hand to turn my chin. "answer my question."

shivers ran down my spine as i remember his actions in the restaurant last night. the way his lips caressed my ear softly as he spoke to me, and the way his hand ran up my thigh... it was too much to even mentally process in the position i was being held captive in underneath him.

"i- i don't.. know." i muster out, speaking honestly. my mind ran raced when he got close to me like this. but i couldn't make out how i felt about it; because one, i've loved stray kids for a while now and minho was my bias wrecker; so in a way, it would feel wrong. and two, i've never really been close like this with any guy before in the first place.

"you don't know?" his gaze softened a little bit as he tried to read my expression.

"i've never... experienced that kind of thing before. so... i honestly don't really know," i explain, making myself clearer.

"so i'm the first one to have felt you like this?" he asked, leaning closer to me and running his hand up the side of my waist ever so lightly. i nod slowly, taking in the moment. my breath quietly hitched as i felt my entire body light on fire at even his slightest touch. the effect he had on me was insane.

just as minho was about to lean even closer to me, there was a knock at the bedroom door. luckily, we both reacted quickly before jisung entered the room, trying to act natural by sitting on the end of his bed. a good distance apart of course.

his head tilted and he raised his eyebrow, "what're you both doing up there?"

"just talking." minho said, completely unfazed.

jisung nodded, a sly smile appearing on his face, "ohhh suree, right, right... well anyways, you two, care to explain last night? can't even believe i missed your love fest right in front of my eyes. i thought you guys hated each other, too."

my eyes widened at his outburst, immediately facing minho, who still remained with an emotionless expression. the sasaengs must have seen what happened between us at the table last night. "ji... fuck, are the news article that bad? i was hoping-"

"that they didn't catch the little love fest?" he interrupted quickly, "yeah... they did, unfortunately. cause now the company has to do some recon to get the articles unpublished as soon as possible. you're lucky your face wasn't in the photos, yena. but, don't worry!! i did some talking, and you both aren't in any trouble."

my body began bubbling with pure anger. okay, sure, we weren't in any trouble with the company. but how could minho be so careless with his actions? and in plain sight too? it was incredibly childish and immature of him.

"i can't believe you, lee." i say, my mouth no longer restraining my thoughts.

"what? we're not in trouble, don't stress over it."

"it doesn't matter that we're not in trouble. what matters is that you were so fucking careless of what you were doing, and in god damn public view too! you've been in this industry for YEARS, it's only been about a month or so for me. i'm new to everything, and yet you decide to jeopardise this entire opportunity i have just to get a little reaction and embarrassment out of me. i can't believe it."

his face dropped, revealing just the slightest hint of guilt, but also hurt. he looked down, avoiding my livid gaze.

minho said nothing after that. all i wanted was an apology... or anything even REMOTELY sincere out of his mouth. but i knew i wasn't going to get that from him. i needed to clear my mind. i stood up and rushed over to the ladder, and climbed down without a single thought about my fear of heights.

i practically ran out of the bedroom, and right out of the dorm before anyone could come after me, whilst i heard jisung shouting from behind, "yena! wait up!"

i slammed the door behind me and retreated to somewhere i could hide, just to give me a bit to recharge and process my emotions before i took them out on them any further.
