Volcano | Bangchan

New friends, new life ?

It was still early in the afternoon, but I was too mad to stay in the studio. There was no point in going back home only for an hour before going to Seventeen. And to be honest, I wanted to see Seokmin the earlier possible. We didn't Facetimed for a few days, and I missed him. Wait. What ? I missed him ? Since when did I start feeling like that ? Anyways. I called him, explaining the little argument I had with Chris, and he didn't even hesitate to tell me to come to him right now. He sent me the address and I rushed to him. Once in front of his door, I started feeling a bit nervous. After all, I was about to meet his best friends. Being approved by them was important for me, even though I didn't really know why. Or I knew but didn't want to admit it. 

I softly knocked, and almost immediately, Seokmin opened the door. He didn't wait for me to say hi and dragged me into a hug. I instantly relaxed in his arms, overwhelmed by his scent. All my negative thoughts vanished. I muffled : "I needed that hug. How did you know ?". He simply answered : "I know you. You hate arguing with your friends, even more with Bangchan.". We stood there, just enjoying that hug that felt like the right thing at the right moment.

Until I heard the sound of a phone taking pictures, followed by a "Aaaaw". Seokmin rolled his eyes before letting me go. I turned around to see Hoshi, Mingyu and Seugkwan looking at us fondly. Hoshi had his phone in his hand, which meant he was the paparazzi. I waved shyly at them. "Hi. I'm Sooki.". Seugkwan grinned : "Oh, believe me, we perfectly know who you are.". Mingyu followed : "Actually, we already know everything about you.". Hoshi added : "Yes, it's almost like we are the one datin-". He was interrupted by Seokmin, who threw him one of his flip-flops. "You three shut up, or I'll make you !". I chuckled : "It's almost like home.". Seokmin smiled at me. "Come on, I'll present you to the others.". He took my hand, and I blushed at the contact. I stared at his hand. It was huge, and he had veins popping up. His skin was smooth. My ears reddened when I realized what kind of thoughts were crossing my mind. What is wrong with me ?

I spent a really cool night with them, casually talking about everything and anything. Well, most of the time, it was the others teasing and making fun of Seokmin, but I truly felt good being around them. I felt the same feeling of security and comfort. We had dinner and played games all night long. All this time, Seokmin never left my side. I noticed he was very tactile, always caressing my hand with his thumb, having an arm around my shoulder, and even putting his hand on my tight. And I didn't mind at all. To be honest, I liked it. Each touch made me blush, and I knew he noticed.

It was around 4 AM when I decided to come back home. Seok insisted on taking me home. He parked in front of my house, and we stood there a bit. I finally spoke, my head resting against the seat : "Thank you.". He turned and gave me a soft smile : "For what ?". I turned too to face him. "For letting me come earlier. For knowing what I need without needing to tell. For tonight. For being you. Just thank you.". He smiled brightly. "I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us. The boys are in love with you already.". "They're really cool. They love teasing you. I wonder why." I teased. He smirked : "Oh yeah, you wonder ? I'm pretty sure you already know, and you feel it too.". I frowned a little. "What do you mean ?". He smiled cheekily. "I kind of noticed the way you're blushing each time I touch you. You're no good at hiding it.". 

The tables turned, and he was the one teasing me in the end. I blushed hard and couldn't help but detail his face : he had flawless skin. Even with the light of the car as the only light, I could see a glimpse in his eyes. My eyes went down to his lips. He had thin lips, and right now, they looked really kissable. WHAT ? DK noticed my gaze and gulped. He stuttered : "I- I think... You should go home now before we do something stupid.". I licked my lips : "Yeah... You're right.". I took a deep breath and exited his car. I gave him one last glance before closing his car's door. "Night Handsome.". He smiled genuinely : "Night Love.".
