Embracing You (VERHAN)

Walk, Icecream And ?

We were shooting for the title track. Everyone was really piped up. And the title track was true to its name too. Super energetic and a blast. It was the first schedule. Everyone looked really good in the costumes and makepup. We shot the scenes and ended it a on a good note. 

First day was done and we were just goofing around. Most of us there and not so surprisingly Vernon was on right side of me, his head on my shoulder while I scrolled through my phone. Choel was messing around with mingyu and jun and wonu just lying peacefully on their left. Dino and hoshi were jumping around like energetic puppies they are. 

Seungkwan and dk were talking about something animatedly. Shua, woozi and hao were almost done with their makeuo removal too. "Guys I am going for a hot pot. Who else wanna join me ?" Dk's voice reached my ears. I lifeted my head up to find him standing near. 

"I will go" dino squealed from the left side. "Me too" seungkwan said from the other side. "Count me in too" choel said getting up to come closer. Slowly most of them agreed. "Jeonghan hyung what about you ? And nonie you ?" Hao asked as he looked at us questioningly. 

"Yeah, I will come" I said a bit stuttering as I was about to say we instead of I. "Yeah me too" Vernon replied plainly, now sitting straight. "Okay cool, let's go" Dk screamed in excitement but I could feel someone's eyes on me. "Guys don't you think Jeonghan hyung and Vernon seem to be together all the time these days" wonu said in his deep voice, getting everybody's attention. 

My insides turned cold. Did he already figure it out ? It's not that I don't want to tell them. But we are just trying things out. I want them to know only when it gets a bit sure. I felt Vernon's hand on my lower back, caressing slowly. I felt a bit better.

"Oh yeah now that you have said it, I can see that. They are hanging around each other a lot" dk said dramatically. "And what about you ? You keep kissing other members, specially woozi hyung ?" Hao asked dk a bit skeptically. But I knew he was joking as he shot a comforting look towards me. 

I wondered if he knows something. "Ohh baby are you jealous ? Come lemme kiss you" dk went behind him screaming and everybody got busy with them. We all went for dinner later and thankfully nobody brought that topic up again. 

Shooting for the title track was done and we were practicing the choreography. Honestly I liked the choreo. It was strong, energetic but really charming too. We went over the same routine for 6th time when everybody called it a day. I sat on the floor, my head resting on shua's shoulder. 

"Thinking something ?" He asked me gently. No matter how evil he is, he is still my best friend who knows when I am upset about something. "Well yeah, you know about what wonu said on the shoot" I told him honestly. It was really troubling me and Vernon. Though we didn't get the chance to talk about it much, I was sure as a fellow member he must be feeling guilty too. 

These are the people I love the most. And not telling them something this important definitely feels like a crime. "Don't worry about that. You know all of them. They won't force you if you don't want to tell them yet" shua said smiling a bit, hie kind eyes sparkling. "I know but I kind of feel guilty. And it's not that I don't want to tell them. I just don't feel like it's the right time" I said admittedly. 

"It's okay hannie, I get it. And they will understand it too. Don't stress over it. We all want you to be happy. So when you feel it's the right time, tell them okay ?" He said smiling at me encouragingly. I laughed thankfully and hugged him. Everybody started leaving when Vernon messaged me to stay back. So I did. 

"What's up nonie ?" I asked him worriedly. "Hyung, wanna go for a short walk ? We can get ice cream too" he asked me with a innocent grin. How could I say no when all I wanted was just some peace and him. So we set for the walk, our hands intertwined. We got the icecreams a while later, chocolate flavour for him and blueberry for me.
