Hongjong || Seonghwa 

"And maybe to avoid any trouble we cou-"

"This is so complicated. Who even thought of this plan?"

I cut Wooyoung off as he tried to explain the plan they had been preparing for in hopes of avoiding allegations and trouble. 

I didn't receive any answer whatsoever. It honestly didn't surprise me. 

I snatched the marker off of wooyoung's hand, wiped the little white board they've been working on and tied my hair up gently holding the marker in between my lips as both my hands were busied with my knot. 

I eventually opened the marker putting its lid in my pocket before saying. 

"Here. I am not repeating more than once." 

I said making sure everyone was paying attention. It didn't matter to me because I really won't repeat myself again after this. 

"Basically, you two can-" 

...an hour later. 

"Thats sounds.. much wiser. Yeah no shit, you're a bunch of dumbasses. No wonder you took the long way." 

I said glancing up at them before sending a disgusted glance over to Hongjong as I spoke. 

"Quit staring. I really don't like it. I really don't like you either." 

I don't care how out of context this is to everyone else, right now I wanted that man's eyes off of me. They made me feel both uneasy and upset. 

I turned away from him but his response seemed to trigger. He just wouldn't stop staring at me. It was pissing me off. 

"Didn't you understand me the first time? Quit staring at me idiot." 

I said once again, nice and loud to make myself clear but Hongjong just.. smiled? 

I felt my eye twitch at his behavior. What was with him? He was seriously getting on my nerves now. 

He simply smiled and plopped on the couch near me looking up at me. 

"I like that you don't like me." 

He said nonchalantly, catching not just me but everyone off guard. Yunho seemed to give him a look but Hongjong's gaze was solely focused on me. 

He kept that cocky smile on as I raised my eyebrow at his, very questionable statement simply looking away hands in my pocket reaching for the marker's lid. 

"Fuck off. I am not some challenge you ass." 

"True. Its just, you make me want to be.." 

"Better?" 

I looked at him cringing at his cliche statement and his really bad flirting skills. 

"You're literally so lame, I can't believe I ever-" 

"Its more than that. I will change if it means I have your attention Hwa."

I looked at him a little taken back by his comment. I didn't expect i to make me feel so.. hot? I picked up the nearest pillow, threw it right at his face and looked away hands in my pocket. 

"Weirdo."

I whispered to myself, my ears were red out of embarrassment maybe. I walked away from the little group heading upstairs. I remembered spotting a somewhat empty room on my way to the bathroom early, I'll just settle there for now. 

Well even in an empty room, I couldn't rest peacefully without being bothered. I hoped to take a break, a little one but apparently the universe had other plans for me.
