Living With Seventeen

07

WOOZI

In the lobby, there was a small store that sold things such as candy and basic necessities.

When Ji-Eun brought me out of the rooms, I immediately thought of the store. Buying a bunch of chocolate was almost a tradition for us when we were younger.

"I. Want. Everything." Ji-Eun said, admiring every piece of candy.

"Stop drooling, Jagiya." I grabbed her hand and held it.

"Did you just call me... Nevermind. If paparazzi see us, you'd be in so much trouble. Your company doesn't even want you dating." Ji Eun said as she let go of my hand.

"You're just my best friend, there's no rule about not being able to have one. Come on, Ji, we were like this all the time. It's been too long, I've missed you..." I sighed.

"Fine. But you're buying me candy and if we get in trouble, it's your fault." She said.

I smiled and grabbed her hand once again.

JI EUN

After buying, and while devouring our candy, we went to the nearest park and talked for a long time. Apparently Woozi still hasn't got any friends as girls besides me.

"Let's go now." I said.

Woozi pouted, but I didn't give in. "They're probably looking for us, it's already 10. It's too dark."

The way to the hotel was rather quiet. As we entered the hotel room, all the members were staring at us. They noticed our linked hands with widened eyes.

"YAH! I TOLD YOU NO BOYFRIEND!" Seungcheol said. I let go of Woozi's hand and went to hug him.

"He's just my best friend, Oppa. Nothing more."

"Good."

After a short and awkward silence, Seungkwan spoke up. "You guys missed dinner... My kimchi's all gone."

Everyone chuckled. "YAH! It was good and they simply missed out."

I giggled and stood up to go wash up. "I'm going to sleep soon, goodnight everyone!"

"Me too!"

"I'm too tired to function anyways."

"Units to their own rooms!"

I quickly hugged Woozi and the other members and started walking through the connected doors until I had reached Hip Hop unit's room. I took a tooth brush, toothpaste, and comfy clothes out of my large suitcase and took them with me into the bathroom.

As soon as I finished, I laid on the couch considering I was just their guest.

"YAH! Ji! Come sleep with me. The couch is uncomfortable." Seungcheol said.

"But..."

"No buts. Vernon, take the couch. Mingyu and Wonwoo already have the other bed anyways..."

"Okay." The younger said without a fight.

"Aigoo, Oppa , I'm only a guest." I complained.

"You live with us, which means you're family now... I mean you were my family my whole life and... You know what I mean!"

I sighed. I could never fight with my own brother. He always wins.

I laid in bed next to him and turned off the lamp. "Good night everyone..." I mumbled and closed my eyes.

That night, I couldn't help but think. Sleeping wasn't an option to stop the thoughts.

So far, I've been doing nothing for Pledis. Even though I've just recently signed as a trainee, there hasn't been anything to do. No practices, no meetings. Nothing.

I also thought about how thankful I am for Woozi and Seungcheol...

The people who risked their reputation and lives for me.

The people who loved me endlessly, no matter how stupid I was ( and still am ).

... The only people who I could call my family.
