Us | Jongseob

"Oh hi!" I say embarrassed.

The 5 boys look at me confused.

"Y'all this is my sister" Shota says to his friends.

Everyone greets me.

I make eye contact with a boy I had already seen.

Was it the one who complimented my dancing skills last year?

What was his name?

Jongseob maybe?

"So what happened?" One of them asks.

"I made it into the debut lineup of the new group" I say smiling.

They all congratulate me before introducing themselves.

I don't really pay attention to their names, I kinda knew them already, Shota talked about them all the time.

As Jongseob introduces himself we make eye contact again.

What's happening? Why can't I stop looking at him? Why is he still staring at me?

He finishes his introduction.

I feel everyones eyes on us, did they notice?

Why can't I break the eye contact?

Shota chuckles snapping me back into reality.

I look at him embarrassed.

I say bye to the boys an leave.

What just happened? He was so pretty and his voice was so calm, I could listen to him talking for hours.

No Aiko, no.

You don't like him.

You can't fall for him.

You need to concentrate on your career right now.

I get to my dorm and lay in bed.

Did I really make it?

I can't figure out why they announced me for last tho.

They for sure didn't go in age order since Jieun is younger than me.

They announced me as the last member.

The sixth member..

Wait.

Didn't I place 6th in Produce48?

I remember that day like it was yesterday.

I got lost in my thoughts when I hear someone knocking on my door.

I open it.

It's one of the girls from my group.

I think her name is Doeun.

"Hey" she says smiling.

"You're Aiko right?"

"Yes" I reply smiling back.

"I've talked to the girls and decided to have a sleepover in my room, I was supposed to have 2 roommates but they never came so I have a big room all by myself, would you like to come? So we can get to know each other better"

They actually wanted to bond with me? I thought they hated the idea of having me in their group.

"Yes of course" I say trying to hide the excitement.

"Perfect, see you at 8pm then" She says smiling and walking away.

I ACTUALLY GOT INVITED TO SOMETHING???

OH MY GOD.

I look at the time.

7:20 pm

Shoot, I only have 40 minutes.

I take a shower and pick out a clean pyjama.

I put on a little bit of make up, I know its a sleepover but I wanna look presentable.

7:45 pm

I realise I have no idea of where this girls room is.

I leave my room to ask one of the employees there.

As I go to the elevator I see Jongseob, he was coming towards me.

"Hi" he whispers.

I smile back without saying anything.

Omg why was this so awkward, he is my brothers friend.

I take the elevator and go to the first floor.

"Hi! I need to know where Kim Doeuns room is" I tell the employee smiling.

"Yeah sure let me check" she smiles back.

"Third floor room 210"

"Thank you" I say walking away.

I take the elevator again and arrive in front of her room.

I hear someone laughing inside.
