When I Grow Up (Seventeen Jeonghan x CLC Seunghee)

Forty One: When I Want To Know You

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

As early as day one, Nayeon has formed a decent amount of connection with Seunghee's circle of friends. She joins the group as if she's part of it from the beginning. Being her, it doesn't take much for the others to adjust being with her. Not to mention, someone's growing adoration for her is on the go, before even appearing in the circle.

At the gym, the group rendezvous during their free time. Just idling down, chitchatting like they usually do. They are scattered in the bleachers almost together but within a minimal distance from each other.

Sehun and Areum are somewhat busy cuddling, watching some video on his smart phone. Something both of them have been enjoying for a while recently. After viewing something, Areum exclaims.

"Wow! That was awesome! Can you do that?" Areum asks Sehun.

"What do you take me for? Of course, I can! Just watch me next rehearsals," he answers her quite certainly.

"I bet you can't."

"For how much?"

"My whole allowance!" she says this with a taunting grin.

"You really have so little faith in me. It hurts. Just wait and see Lee Areum," he eyes her with a serious look.

"I definitely will."

But it's always playtime for these two, Sehun treats it as if nothing, puts him arm around her and says, "Come on let's watch the next one."

That's what she loves about him. Even if she's frank about her thoughts of him, that she oftentimes hurt him, but not intentionally, he always has the last laugh after everything. Proving to her that he's more to what she gauges him to be. And be the better Oh Sehun each and every day. In return, she does all sorts of stuff for him. It may not be obvious but she devotes all her time for him in the sidelines. That's why Sehun works even harder just for her.

On the other hand, the 95 liners and Sorn are sitting close by with a different topic. Seunghee sits in between Jeonghan and Nayeon, and just a meter away from them are Seungcheol, Jisoo and Sorn.

"Now it's a duet for sure," Seungcheol utters.

"Aren't you just wishing for a duet?" Jeonghan intrigues with a hint of teasing.

"And somehow picking up the perfect duet partner," Jisoo adds.

These boys have been picking on Seungcheol since Nayeon came. It's the first time he's ever revealed a façade like this. He's trying too much, seems like cupid shot him on the right spot hard. He found the person who makes his heart explode.

Seungcheol can't respond to the two, if he did, he'll probably show his true cruel nature. And he doesn't want to let it show just yet.

"Why? What happened last term?" Nayeon asks.

"We thought it was a group one but ended up with solo ones. That prof always has the most radical decisions," Seunghee answers her.

"I got to sing a duet with Jisoo oppa though," Sorn adds.

"Yeah, it was awesome," Jisoo smiles at Sorn.

"Oh yeah the english song," Seunghee tells.

"Seunghee ranked first that time, with her composition," Jeonghan shares.

She pats his arm and says, trying to be humble, "I was just lucky, don't mind him."

Seeing Seunghee holding his arm like that, and Jeonghan treating it as if it's their everyday routine, Nayeon suspects there's something she doesn't know about. She can see Seunghee and Jeonghan are always together. And their closeness is different from the others. She doesn't want to entertain undesirable thoughts so she decides to ask Seunghee about it when she has the chance.
