If It Is You (Y.Jw) [Sequel]

Worries

February 11, 2025

I quickly rushed down the hallways, my bag thrown over my shoulder as I kept on ringing again and again, my phone going back to my ear between each ring to check if it had been picked up. Finally, a small laugh came through the phone.

"Are you done soon?" he questioned.

"Where are you?" I panted slightly and looked into the different practice rooms I was rushing through.

"The studio..." he slowly trailed off.

"We have to talk," I finalised and ended the call, running towards the escalators and running up to the next floor.

I took a few quick turns and then down to the fifth door on my right. Immediately I barged in and threw my bag beside the door. Quickly smacking the door and looking straight up at a very frightened Jungwon.

"What have I done?" he whispered carefully.

"Are you absolutely insane?" I exclaimed and he glanced around the room with a frown before looking back at me.

"What?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" I continued and he kept on just frowning at me, "The cover you idiot!"

"You didn't know?" he questioned in even more confusion.

"Of course, I knew! After Jake sent the link in the group!" I exclaimed and let out a small laugh.

"So... you're not mad?" he questioned slowly.

"Why in the world would I be mad?" I frowned, "it was great! Wonderful! You sounded soooo good!"

"Really?" his face lit up a bit and I immediately nodded before rushing over and pulling him up from his chair into a tight hug, "you liked it?"

"Of course I did," I murmured and pulled my face away a bit and ran my hand through his outgrown black roots, "a bit difficult to take the video seriously though. You looked too... mature."

"Hey, that's not fair," he let out a small laugh and pushed me off of him, dragging over a chair for me to sit down as well, "Engenes said I looked very cool."

"Of course, they did," I hummed and pecked his cheek gently before sitting down and looked up at him before he sat down as well, "Engenes think you're adorable too."

"No no no, the comments are saying cool," Jungwon excused and pointed to a screen beside my head, showing a comment thread that seemed awfully active.

For now, most of the comments were about me, much to my confusion. I frowned and looked back over at Jungwon as he rolled closer and squinted his eyes at the screen as well.

"Oh yeah... I'm on live," he muttered and I widened my eyes and stared at him, "should I have told you?"

"This is so embarrassing," I murmured and leaned back in my chair, covering my mouth with both my hands before noticing the camera that was sending the whole thing live. Quickly I raised both my hands up in front of my face, "I'm not wearing any make-up."

"Ey, stop it," he remarked and waved my hands down, "greet them."

"Hi Engene," I murmured and waved at the camera as Jungwon let out a small laugh when one of my hands went up to cover my face again. Quickly I snapped my head back to Jungwon, "I'm gonna be in so much trouble."

"Why?" Jungwon frowned.

"We're not supposed to be doing lives together without everyone else," I reminded in a whisper and he glanced over his shoulder towards the door. Eventually, he just shrugged.
