Strangers again.

Present:

do you know what sells the best in entertainment? 

Drama.

and what can be more dramatic than working with my ex boyfriend, ex best friend and a person who claimed i was a cheater along with 10 other weird dudes.

an unexpected advantage was i knew them almost too well. i just knew what kind of content would make every member shine. 

"you are quirky but you work well ms. song." mr. oh commented as i finished presenting my ideas. he made a sour face at me before offering me to be his second in command for the show. i clapped my hands together and bowed as deeply as could.

"don't be too cheerful i might remove you for being unserious"

i faked an ugly grin which he returned with an unnecessarily genuine scowl. 

i hate you anyway.

"thankyou mr. oh, i am honored to get this job"

your hairline is receding faster than yoongi's rap.

...

with hara's suggestion i dressed in my most professional looking outfit. black shirt and beige pants. simple and depressing. exactly what i am going for today.

"are the camera's ready?" i checked everything one last time as seventeen's cars became visible at a distance. i would be lying if i said i wasn't nervous but i was trying to put up my best act.

the first one who came out was mingyu. i resisted the urge to kick him as he waved at the camera.

look at him acting like he is very cool.

he twirled and blew a kiss while winking at the camera. 

so cool.

fuck.

it was really awkward wait as he was coming closer while greeting the staff who were standing in a horizontal line. suddenly his eyes landed on me and he couldn't hide his surprise. i kept a straight face as i bowed to him when my turn came and so did he. i didn't spare him a glance. the other members were following right behind.

chan and hoshi got excited on seeing me. i was surprised when dk acted like he didn't know me at all. even the kindest member hates me. what an achievement!

the other members also greeted me just like any other staff excluding seungcheol who rolled his eyes before bowing to me. 

and then it was only seungkwan and the 2 i dread most left.

i tapped my foot anxiously and mr. oh glared at me as if he was going to eat me alive so i started tapping my middle finger on my hand instead.

i was expecting seungkwan to greet me brightly like he always did but instead he passed right by me without even trying to hide that it was intentional. the other staff looked over at me in amusement. 

my eyes were stinging but before they could water, joshua appeared. i was seeing him in person for the first time after my break up with jeonghan and i hadn't imagined it would hurt so much to meet as strangers again.

memories of our times together flashed in front of me as he smiled warmly, i smiled back stiffly and bowed so i won't have to see his face but when i looked up again he was still in front of me.

"it's nice to see you again. i miss the time you worked with us."

was he thinking the same thoughts as me? does he regret it too?

i stared at him in confusion but he moved forward which meant it was finally jeonghan. my ex boyfriend.

if things weren't unexpected enough already, jeonghan offered his hand to me instead of bowing.

"we just came back from us tour" he said casually.

"welcome to korea" i bowed instead. i knew his one touch would be enough to break the facade i have built around me all this time. he retrieved his hand but something caught my eye.

jeonghan was wearing the bracelet i gifted him.

:o Cookie: when jeonghan's birthday came while they were on tour, jeonghan was sad because he couldn't be with her. arin ordered bracelet and cake as surprise gift to his hotel room with seungkwan's help. they facetimed while eating the cake and celebrated from a distance. jeonghan knew that arin was the one for him when she showed him her matching bracelet excitedly while talking nonstop. he couldn't focus on her words as he just smiled at her lovingly.
