‘ENHYPEN Niki and NEWJEANS  Haerin confirm break up!’

‘NEWJEANS ’s Haerin, ENHYPEN’S Niki break up after their relationship was made public this month’

‘ENHYPEN’S Niki & NEWJEANS’s Haerin have broken up, so fans are heartbroken.’

The fans hearts may be breaking but for me? Mine was soaring!
“How are you Haeriniee ?” Dani asks her displaying a soft, sympathetic smile as she places her hand over Haerin’s clasped one. We were all seated on our couch in the living room watching the news of Haerin’s break up. It was a shock to all of us, we had thought Haerin and Niki seemed to be getting serious since, apparently, they’ve been talking for a couple of months before making it official. When  I heard the news of them dating,

I.

Was.

Devastated.

The thing that no one knows was that I was pathetically, stupidly, utterly, and completely in love with Haerin Kang. Since our trainee days actually. At first I believed it was only inspiration and admiration of her talent, but the more we spoke and the more I got to know who she really was, I knew it was more than that. I’m still surprised that after all these years, I was able to hide my feelings from all of them.

Haerin smiles softly and nods her head with a simple shrug,
“I’m okay. I knew we weren’t going to go anywhere with our relationship, considering being an idol and all.” She responds. With my back turned to them and with my head down as I was petting Jerry, who was on a diet by the way, I was able to hide my smile of excitement.

“Well just so you know, we’re here for you.” Hanni says earning a slight pinch on her chipmunk cheeks by Haerin who smiled sweetly towards her.

“Thanks Unnie.” I turn around with Jerry in my arms and smile mischievously,

“Want to drink your sorrows away?” I teasingly ask, wanting to change the sad atmosphere. Haerin playfully rolls her eyes and lets out a beautiful laugh that caused my heart to flutter at the sight of her beautiful smile.

I may or may not have been serious about the drinking. I only said that to see her smile and she knew that, considering the way she was silently thanking me with her feline eyes. Hanni scoffs and flicks my forehead causing me to hiss and rub the spot that was assaulted. Dani narrows her eyes,

“No drinking! We’re meeting with ADOR tomorrow. We have to talk about our world tour.” Dani scolds causing me to push out my bottom lip into a pout.

“Come on…..One drink won’t hurt.” I whine. The raven haired hanni stands up while shaking her head as she continued to glare down at me.

“No.” I sigh and look towards Haerin with pleading eyes as if I was begging her to be on my side. But seeing her stifling a laugh and shrugging her shoulders with a playful smirk, I knew otherwise. I playfully narrow my eyes and stick out my tongue towards her. Dani then claps her hands to gain all our attentions.

“Now everyone go to bed, it’s getting late and we have to wake up early tomorrow.” We all nod our heads, obeying Dani who smiled in satisfaction before walking towards her own bedroom. Hanni sighs before muttering quietly to herself as she stood up and walked towards her bedroom,

“She says that but she’s the one who stays up until 5 in the morning watching that damn     k-dramas .” She says before leaving Haerin and I alone in the living room.

Haerin walks up to me and offers her hand for me to take. I look up and nearly melted at her kind smile and with her placing  a strand of her hair behind her ear with her free hand. I feel the corners of my lips lift up into a shy smile as I placed my hand into hers. She slowly helps me up, quite quickly, causing me to stand up and stumble slightly. I instinctively grab her waist as she quickly grabs my arms to steady myself. I lift my head and swallow thickly at the sudden proximity. She giggles and lifts her eyebrows in amusement,
