When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Sixteen: When I Tried to...

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

They only have a few days before the sing-offs in class. So by this time, it's not only Jeonghan who merges with the group but also Jisoo who is undeniably enjoying Sorn's cheery company.

Sitting on a corner at the student lounge, Jun stares at the pairs with him. Jeonghan and Seunghee are busy chatting about their compositions, Jisoo and Sorn are also busy talking about the arrangement they will have for their song choice and Sehun and Areum are also busy murmuring beside him.

"These boys surely have ways to get the girls," Areum says to Sehun.

"I bet someone's being left behind," Sehun utters aiming at Jun beside him. They've patched things up. Being friends has never really put them on the edge with each other.

Jun leers at him talking to himself. Here he goes again trying to snide me. But really, first it was only him, (looking at Jeonghan) and now, his friend tags along? Is this some kind of agenda or something? I'm really not enjoying this. These guys have to keep away from us.

"I'm not approving of this hyung," Jun tells Sehun.

"Who says they need your consent? Who are you, their father? Just deal with it my dear dongsaeng," Sehun reprimands him, patting his head.

"Ah! It's really pissing me off! Get your hands off hyung," Jun spikes.

"But seriously, you're getting left behind. Go get yourself a girlfriend," Areum mocks.

"I already have! She's just not ready for me," he says.

"Forget about Seunghee, Jun. She won't be falling for you anytime soon. I assure you," Areum replies. "Not with Jeonghan-shi around."

"It doesn't matter to me if he's there or not. I just have to get Seunghee in my own way," Jun says firmly.

"Just don't overdo it and give me any reason to resent you. If I find out..." Sehun fails to finish his talk.

"I won't hyung. I won't stoop down so low," Jun confirms. "You have my word hyung."

"I'll hold on to your words alright," Sehun utters.

Jun still stares at the two pairs a few chairs away from them. Seunghee and Jeonghan are serious about their talk while Jisoo and Sorn keep laughing with each other. Sorn's his friend and if she becomes acquainted with Jeonghan's friends, he will surely not be glad about it. He's annoyed at their smiles deep inside.

"Hey guys, we're practicing at Jeonghan-shi's place tonight," Sorn declares to them. "Would you like to come along? We can jam, right Jeonghan-shi?"

"Yah. Like I said a few weeks back. You're all welcome in my apartment," Jeonghan states.

"Sure! Why not?" says the only emerging Seungcheol from who knows where. He sits beside Jun and strangles him. "You're coming, right Jun?"

Jun struggles to get away from him. He never ceases to bully him whenever he's around. "Of course I'll be there. Cut it out hyung!"

Sehun and Areum declines though.

"I'm sorry I have an appointment tonight. Can't make it," she says.

"And I'm coming with her," Sehun adds.

Jisoo utters, "So it's just us then." turning at Sorn.

"They can join us next time. We have to set a date for our seniors to insert in their busy schedules," Seunghee ridicules.

"I'll get to you soon Seunghee," Sehun warns.

Seunghee just grins cutely at him that Jeonghan never misses. He snickers at the sight of her. Jun sees him and frowns at the way he reacts. He's surely not holding back.
