Paper Hearts (Re-write)

Chapter 5: Catching up

It's been three weeks since I've started going to the dance studio. Going there every day has become a daily habit. In the morning I would go to school, then around noon, I would be helping around the bakery to make sure everything is in order, after that I would have dinner with Myungsoo while we do our homework and then after that, I would head straight to the studio for an hour or two. Lastly, I would go home and sleep. Yup, that's my daily routine. I know that it may sound tiring but to be honest, it's been helping me get my parents death out of my mind. I haven't had any more hallucinations either, so that's a plus. One thing, that won't leave my head is Seul-gi. She hasn't been talking to me and it's been bothering me. I would see her around the campus. I'd wave hi to her and she always gives me a small smile and leaves before I even get the chance to talk to her. I've been dying to tell her about Hoseok. What kind of girl doesn't want to talk about attractive guys with her friends? Speaking of Hoseok, I always see him at the studio. It's like he's lives there. But who am I to talk, I'm basically doing the same thing. Every time I see him, he flashes me a smile and a vivid video of me running into the door plays in my head. When I get to my room and look at myself in the mirror, embarrassment shows in my face in a shade of pink.I have a feeling that it's going to haunt me until the day I die. I focus my attention back to the video I was watching on my phone. It was a choreography of the Got7 song 'If you do'. So far, I'm just doing covers and adding some of my own moves to it.

Myungsoo: Whatcha watching?

Y/n: A dance practice. I'm trying to learn it.

Myungsoo: Are you going to eat your hashbrowns?

It's late, probably like around 10 and Myungsoo and I are at a diner eating breakfast foods. Myungsoo's idea, of course. I just left the studio not too long ago, so I feel icky. I don't like the idea of public showers, I'd rather shower at home, in the privacy of my parent's house. I mean, my house. But I skipped dinner today and was starving so Myungsoo invited me to eat.

Y/n: Yes, I am and sorry I'm on my phone while eating. It's rude.

Myungsoo: It's no biggie, I don't mind.(^_^)

I put my phone down and grab the knife and fork and split my hashbrown in half. I pick up my plate and gave him one-half. His eyes widened and thanked me over and over again. (Sigh) Manchild. I thought and laughed.

We're silently walking to my house from the diner, absorbing the visuals of our surroundings. I've walked down this street so many times but during the night, It's always different. Not in a scary way, but in a calming way. I feel two arms wrap around my waist and lifted me up.It caught me in surprise so, of course, I shrieked but I quickly laughed it off as soon as I realized the arms belong to Myungsoo.

Y/n: Myungsoo, I'm gross right now. I didn't get to shower after dancing. (chuckles)

Myungsoo: I don't care, I saw an ant farm in front of you and I thought you were going to step on it so I had to quickly think of something to save their precious little lives.(he says while putting me back down)

Y/n: You're so weird (I say while laughing), pabo, you could've just told me to move or, at least, pushed me out of the way. (I playfully smack his arm)

Myungsoo: No, I had no choice but to pick you up.(o^-^o)

Y/n: okay~whatever you say Myungsoo

Once we've made it to my house, Myungsoo and I bid each other goodbye. He drove off in his car that he had parked at my house. I walk in the house. I don't bother turning on the lights as I walk toward the bedroom. I let myself fall into the bed and look at the ceiling. I'm so tired.
