Phone Number

i had thought he would have been weirded out and would leave me alone but the opposite happened.

he started greeting me everyday. even asking me if i had eaten. at first it seemed he was doing that to tease me but it soon turned into a routine.

"good morning arin" he waved at me even before he reached me.

"good morning seungkwan-shi" i bowed 90 degrees to annoy him.

he gave me a side eye before plastering a forced smile on his face.

"you must have been working really hard, you look like a panda." he blurted. i was sooo offended.
"panda's are cute though" he winked and left victoriously satisfied to see my annoyed face.

it became an everyday thing. we didn't know anything about each other except our names. but annoying each other was so much fun that we didn't feel satisfied with the shoot on the days one of us was not present.

at some point, he had started to actually care for me. sulking when i didn't have lunch on time, trying to cheer me up when i wasn't feeling my best. whenever he cracked a joke during the shoot, he would glance at me to see if i was laughing and his energy would magnify after seeing that i was indeed laughing like a maniac.

our light interactions continued until 2 months after we started talking, the last shoot arrived. I had been nervous for weeks. hari had been begging me to ask for his number but i had my doubts. joking around with the staff wasn't uncommon for celebrities. i believed he would forget me as soon as the show would end. i had been making myself cry overthinking the fact that i was a nobody.

on the last day, i avoided seungkwan. i could see him search for me when he arrived but he had to give up eventually. when it was time to wrap up, i tried to sneak out while the cast shared hugs with each other.

when i reached the hallway, i sighed in relief. in my mind i had saved myself from the disappointment of saying goodbye to him. i had only taken a few steps when someone pulled my hand and pinned me against the wall. he placed his hands on the wall on either side of me to prevent me from escaping.

"song arin explain yourself." seungkwan said.

i honestly hate how my mind works. looking at the position we were in, only dirty thoughts came to my mind. I was imagining him kissing me when he repeated himself.

"explain yourself."
"sorry"

there was no explanation. at least none that wouldn't offend him. i couldn't tell him that i was afraid he was a two faced celebrity who only tried to look humble and polite in front of people and would forget me as soon as he went back to his glamourous world. all of this was of course just in my mind and far from reality.

"don't be sorry" he sulked at my unsatisfying answer.
"i wasn't sure what to do" i confessed.
"about what?" he was genuinely confused.
"now that the show is over."

hara always says that i have a habit of saying simple things in the most complicated way. i always avoided saying my thoughts as it is and completely. but it seemed seungkwan understood my doubts. his face softened as he tilted his head in slight disappointment. 

"it seems you gave up on seducing me." he was satisfied when he succeeded in making me laugh. he removed his hands from my sides and stepped back.

"don't worry i will give you another chance." he winked and took my phone from my hand. he even had the audacity to use my face to unlock it without my permission.

"oh god you seriously are insane" he exclaimed. i tried to snatch my phone from him but he lifted it up making it out of reach for my short ass. my face reddened in embarrassment. he had seen the shirtless kim mingyu on my wallpaper.

"give it back" i struggled. 

"wait a minute kid." he typed something on my phone and handed it back to me. a smile erupted on my face when i saw that it was his number. he had typed it in but he didn't save it. i looked at him curiously.

"you can save it if you want to." i smiled at his reply. as stubborn as he was, he was still very considerate. i typed in "boo" and pressed save. 

"so you like mingyu hyung" he smirked receiving a light punch from me.

:o Cookie - arin has a hard time trusting people. seungkwan once spent his birthday with her to make her believe that she was very special to him.
