Falling In Love(UNIQ Story)

FORTY - THREE

"WELCOME BACK!" They said as I turn the light on.

I was surprised that they know that I was going home.

"How - how did you know?" I said to them.

"Thanks to Piper." Mom said.

"Nope. Thanks to my brother." Piper winked at me.

Oh. Right. Manager hyung is Piper's older brother. Copy that.

I put down my luggage and embrace them.

They were asking how I was and how was the life of starting to be popular these days.

UNIQ.

That word or name came immediately into my mind without thinking first.

My body begins to feel weak. Sadness flowed over me. I miss them.

The cookings of mommy Yixuan, his calm self, his mature and complicated answers when we're asking just a simple question, in the afternoon when he's doing his tai chi, when his members are not letting him join in the game, and his acting skills when he helped me prank Sungjoo.

Sungjoo who always does aegyo without him noticing, his impressing side which I am really not impress, the song that is running inside his head that only he himself can hear it, his prank that he did to me and when I took my revenge he almost cry like a baby, him lifting weights that he looked like he's constipated, his - *clears throat* abs, the warmth that I'm feeling when he's embracing me, and when I touch his arm his muscles flexed, and when he was showing off his abs infront of Hani and Junghwa.

Wenhan the manliest and hard working when it comes to exercise, the one who always catches me when I fall literally, the guy who eats like a monster, the deep sleeper who always make us worry and when he wakes up, he'll just rub his eyes and he'll just say good morning casually.

The wacky selcas of Seongyoun, his sweet gestures like embracing me and including me in his selcas, his excitement when he won the game, his frowning face when he loses, his joyful aura in the room, his manly yet breath taking scent, his canine teeth, his inviting smile that makes you want to think all of the positive thoughts, and the way he said that I was not a fan of them when we were in the airplane.

Yibo's talkative self, the way he looks at me like I am some gigantic teddy bear that he can bring anywhere and just hug, his yoyo tricks that one time he almost hit the light in the living room, his blank expression that I don't even know if he knows that he have feelings, his teasing smile that I can't determine if he's rapping or he was just naturally smiling, and his tandem with Sungjoo when it comes to dancing and their telepathic communication on what song to dance.

Sigh. But I have to be strong since this is my choice. I wanted to go back home but I can't leave my other home which is where the UNIQ is staying currently.

I think my mom saw it so she embraced me and said, "It's ok. You'll see them soon."

------------

I woke up early with a bright mood. But then my happy face went to sad.

My room wasn't the way it looked like in my room in the unit.

I looked at the side if my bed and hoping to see Yixuan or any of the boys sleeping there, but it was empty.

It felt like a dream. A very long dream. I stood up and went down with a glum look in my face.

"Are you ok? Are you sick?" My dad said.

I faked a smile and kissed my dad on the cheek.

"I just had a bad dream." I excused.

I ate breakfast and my taste buds doesn't agree with what I am eating. It was somehow finding the taste that Yixuan was cooking.

After meal, I went to my room and took a bath. I have to make myself busy to cover up the missing piece of the puzzle in my heart which is UNIQ.

I dressed up and look for work. It took me almost afternoon and finally, I got accepted.

Have I mentioned that I love taking pictures? Well now you know.

I applied in a photography company where I stand behind the camera and somehow direct the models or whoever I'll be taking pictures to pose on what suits them and their personality.

"Hi! I am Savannah, you can call me Seven for short and I am somehow your so called 'boss'. But that guy over there," She pointed to the guy who I think is taller than me, has a little meat but not too chubby, has a white complex, and his back is facing us. "Is our real boss. He's the CEO of this company." She smiled widely.

"Why Seven?" I ask.

"Because if I tell you that you can call me Savan, it sounds weird. When people hear you they might think 'are you trying to be british or you just have a problem saying the vowel 'e'. Get me?" She said and she reminds me of Laticia who is so happy like they don't have any problems at all.

"O-kay. I got 'ya." I replied.

They said that I'll start tomorrow. So I went home with a big grin on my face even though that when I got hired, UNIQ was the first that popped in to my mind that I wanted to share my success.

But I shove it to the side and told my parents first.

I opened the door and looked for my parents.

"Mom, Dad, I got a job!" I shouted when I stepped inside the house.

My mom went out from the kitchen and my dad went out from the living room. They embraced me and congratulated me.

My brother went out from his room and he ran downstairs and joined the hug.

"Congrats, pancakes." Jericho, my brother, congratulated me.

"Thanks, loverboy." I teased.

He frowned and I ran going to the living room because I know that he hates being called like that.

I was laughing and he was too. I remember when we were kids, I always tease him infront of our friends which contains of four guys including my brother, and me.

He catch me and tickled me non stop.

"Yah~! 오모 진짜!" I said in korean.
          (omo jinjja)

He stopped and looked at me, frowning.

"I - uhm, learned it in Korea since I was there and uh, I can hear it from them." I smiled, hiding my nervous feeling that I forgot that my brother doesn't know that I live with UNIQ.

"I noticed something. You smelled different when you came back. It smelled a scent of a guy." Jericho frowned, waiting for answers.
