Torn Between The Stars (Seventeen Fanfic)

Chapter 5: My endless bad luck

As we stood in front of the ice cream parlour, I wondered why people were suddenly considering ice cream as lunch.

Wonwoo noticed my puzzled look and smiled.

"They don't only sell ice cream here, don't worry." He assured me as he led me through the door.

When we entered the store and then almost neared the cashier, Wonwoo suddenly cornered me into some random spot.

What the actual fuck?! What was he doing?

He used his body to cover me. Without him realising, I was literally pressed against his body.

This gave a feeling of deja vu since something similar happened just an hour ago.

Yah, even when he was hitting on me, forced skinship was not the answer! I tried pushing away from me, but he held onto both of my arms instead.

I felt my face flare red and the heat rise to my head. Confused, I glared at him.

Normally, I was totally fine with physical contact, but not when it was so sudden or forced. I was taken aback when he just did that.

"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed. He rapidly covered my mouth, muffling all my words.

Was he going to kidnap me? But why would he do that inside an ice cream shop?

I couldn't come up with an other reason for his actions and decided to wring myself out of his grip. Yet, his grip only tightened, making me kick him while hoping he would let go of me.

"Owh!" He yelped while gazing coldly at me. I squirmed at his change in expression.

"Mwfff gwo mff mee." (Let go of me!) I mumbled as I tried staring back with the same intimacy.

Yet, he didn't and instead leaned towards my ear.

"They're here." He whispered.

Who was he talking about? Who were 'they'?

My question already was answered when one of them spoke.

"Look at that. They just entered the store and are already making out." Mina said. I could already imagine her sickened expression while saying it.

Oh shit, they were here. I felt my heart race as I recognised their voices. Nervous, I noticed that my hands were trembling.

What was I supposed to do now? I felt so stupid right now. After that event, I forgot to borrow his sunglasses and cap, so no one would recognise me. Aishh, why did I forget about it?

For minutes we were still stuck together. The closeness was unbearable and whenever I stared at him, he was busily checking whether they were gone.

As he moved his hand away from my mouth, I took this as an opportunity to speak.

"Are you going to keep on hugging me like this for hours?" I hissed, really uncomfortable. "Shouldn't we do something?"

He didn't respond. Instead, he shot me an helpless look. I internally groaned upon seeing his hopelessness.

"Oh my god, are they still there? Gross. Clingy couples sure are disgusting." I heard Kyungmi say as she shot us another look.

I agreed with her. This seriously felt horrible. His body was way too close to mine and the position we were in was rather uncomfortable.

If I could, I would immediately have left store, but we would have to pass them and then they might recognise us. I definitely couldn't risk that.

If they found out, I was done for. A rule in our group was not to keep any secrets from each other. The last time someone broke it, it didn't end well. Aishh, I shouldn't have lied in the first place. Now I was stuck in this situation.
