You sit at your place staring at Minghao's number in your phone. After dropping him at KBS World you had come directly to your home. You had lied to him about your meeting with a friend because the revelation of his identity was a lot for you to take in. It still is.
You have looked up The8 on the internet and have found a lot about him and Seventeen. You can't believe that he gave you his number. You feel that it was a really naïve move on his part. His number can even leak out at this rate.
Now that you think about it, from the time you had bumped into him you felt that he was like a babe in the woods. And that was probably the reason why you had helped him till the end. Otherwise, you are not the kind to go about looking out for someone you bump into.
Your phone rings at that moment. You answer it immediately seeing that it's Minghao.
"Hello, Y/N? This is Minghao," his voice sounds nervous.
You laugh and say, "Yeah, I know that. What's up?"
"The concert was good. Thanks to you, I got there on time. My teammates and manager were really mad at me for leaving without telling them and not carrying my phone with me. And my stylist was pretty upset about the shirt, my makeup and hair but apart from that everything was good."
"That's great. Glad I could help."
"So, I was wondering if we could meet tomorrow? I mean to return the money . . ."
You smile at his nervous voice. You had never thought that you could actually make an idol nervous. You ask him, "Minghao? Are you trying to ask me out?"
He answers sheepishly, "Um, yeah. Why? Is it too sudden?"
"A little," you admit. "But a date sounds nice, I guess."

You spot Minghao easily as you reach the mall. You walk up to him and he smiles at you. He looks a little less anxious than before - but anxious nevertheless.
"Hey! Are you uncomfortable or something?" You question.
"N-no. Nothing like that. Why?"
"Then is anxiety your natural state? Because if that's the case then that's very bad. Just relax, okay?"
He nods. You notice how he has not at all bothered to mask his face. You are like, "Is it okay for you to roam around here so openly? Wouldn't people recognize you?"
"Um, I didn't think about that."
"Clearly," you remark. You take out the cap he is wearing and put it back on him properly making sure it covers his eyes. You fish for your sunglasses in your bag and ask him to wear them.
"Now there you go," you say with a smile. "It's better now."
"Thanks," he replies blushing.
You hold his hand and the two of you walk. You have always been the outgoing type and obviously, Minghao isn't like that.
"Do you want to eat something?" he asks.
"Ice cream," you reply instantaneously.
The two of you head to the ice cream parlor and get chocolate ice creams for yourself.
While you eat your ice cream he questions, "What do you want to do next?"
"I want to see you do something in which I can see your confident side," You say.
He nods, "Alright. I'll show you something."
After the two of you are done with your ice creams he leads you to a place. He doesn't disclose where you are heading until you stand in front of the building. Pledis.
"What are we doing here?" you ask in awe.
He smiles shyly and says, "Let's go."
He takes you to the practice room which is empty at the moment. You stare at the room in amazement.
"Wow, so this is where you practice?" you interrogate even if it is pretty much obvious.
"Yeah," he turns on the music. "You wanted to see my confident side, right?"
He begins to dance and you stare at him in absolute amazement. He also shows you his b-boying skills and you are beyond amazed. He is simply talented, you realise. When is dancing he looks like a completely different person - full of confidence and charisma.
When he is finished with his dance he sits down on the ground tired. You come and sit next to him.
"That was stupendous. You are such a wonderful dancer. When you were dancing you actually looked like The8, a talented idol member of an amazing group Seventeen and not Minghao, the shy boy," you tell him.
"I'll take that as a complement."
"You should. But Minghao, I don't understand. You are such a skilled dancer then why are you always so anxious?" you question.
He averts his gaze and after a long pause says, "I don't know. I don't think I'm good enough."
You are beyond shocked to hear that. You are like, "What the heck do you mean by that? How can you think so little of yourself? Minghao, I think that you're wonderful. Believe me, the Pledis staff also thinks the same. Or else you wouldn't have been here. You are an amazing dancer. You don't have any reason to doubt your skills. So be confident."
He says, "I'll try to."
Though from his tone it doesn't sound like he will but you are not the one to give up so easily. You decide to see it to the end no matter what.

So that's the end of Part 2 of The8 imagine. I hope The8 doesn't sound like a wimp in this one. I just wanted to make him seem . . . er, well sensitive . . . ?
Anyways, in case you liked this one you can always tap on that star and make my day! And don't forget to tell me what you think about it.
Do you people want a Part 3 for this? Comment and let me know!
