The Only One

Chapter 7

J-hope leans close to her, his eyes focused on her lips. Just as they're about to touch he smacks her on her cheek lightly.

"Wake up," he whispers.

"What?" Ivory asks, red faced.

"Wake up," he says Amelia's voice escaping from his mouth.

Ivory opens her eyes, to see Amelia shaking her bed.

Just a dream...

Ivory sits up, the muffin man? Really?

"Are you okay?" Amelia asks.

Ivory nods and sits up, grabbing her phone she checks her messages.

He never texted her back yesterday. Never asked his question, even when they were all practicing. Standing up Ivory goes to get ready, as Amelia struggles to wake up Remi.

Riley hugs Sean close, he holds her by the waist, swaying back and forth. "Ugh, you're always so busy," he whispers.

She sighs, closing her eyes and burying her face in his shirt.

"I know..."

"And you're spending too much time with those guys," he says.

She pulls her face away from the soft blue fabric of his shirt, looking into his eyes. "Baby, you know that it's just work. What do I do on all my free time? Yeah, spend it with you, so don't act that way. You're busy with school and classes."

He sighs and holds her tighter. "I know but," he leans his head close to her ear. "I miss you so much," he whispers.

She reddens. "I miss you too."

There's a knock on the door. "Riley come on," Amelia calls.

Riley let's go of Sean. "Bye," she says.

He looks after her as she leaves. "I love you!"

"I love you more."

"Okay, ladies!" Steve says, clapping his hands in front of the four girls in front of him. Ivory with a towel drying her hair, Remi looking tired and exhausted, without makeup on. Amelia her cheeks red and a very focused Riley.

"I want you to be on your best behavior," he says eyeing Remi specifically.

"It's not like we haven't met them before I feel like you're making a big deal out of-"

"Shh, it's okay. Calm down," Remi says to Amelia before she ranted.

Amelia smacks Remi's finger away from her mouth, scowling.

"You guys are constantly around each other and are rarely ever nice to each other," he says to Remi and Amelia.

Remi scoffs. "I love her, she's one of my best friends, don't listen to him, Amelia, we aren't always mean to each other."

"Aren't you guys getting off topic?" Ivory asked, looking at Steve who nods his head, his hand in his temple.

"Yes, they are-"

"They?! You mean we."

"Remillia?" Steve says.

"Yes?" She asks smiling slightly and raises her eyebrows.

"Shut up," he says.

Her eyebrows fall and her smile falters. "Okay."

"Now girls, go get in the car."

The four of them walk out Ivory next to Remi, Amelia next to Riley.

"I want an alpaca," Remi says, "and I wanna name it Steve."

"Steve? Why Steve?" Ivory asks smiling.

"Because, Steve is a beautiful man."

"You're dumb."

"Say whatever you want, Ivory Jones, but we both know you're jealous."

"Of what?"

"Of the fact that I thought of it first."

"I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

They both turn around to a screaming Amelia as they get to the car.

"Can't believe what?"

"The fact that Riley is a gryffindor and Sean is a slytherin, but they match together so well."

"Why because slytherins are the best?" Remi asks, all other three of them scoff.

"Amelia, stop talking about Sean and I-"

"GRYFFINDORS ARE THE BEST!" Amelia bursts out.

"HAHA NO! HUFFLEPUFFS!" Ivory says.

Remi swings open the door and gets in. "You guys are at one hundred you need to take it down to a five," she says sliding next to the window.

"I'm just telling you that-"

"Shh, Amelia stop talking. You're not helping."

"Boys, play nice."

"We are nice!"

"Especially me!" Hoseok says smiling.

Their manager eyes him. "Hoseok?"

"Yes?"

"What's going on with you and this Ivory girl?"

His eyes widen and he blushes a little bit. "Uhm... we're... we are just friends."

"That's all? You've seem to have taken quite the liking to her."

"I-i do-"

"Oh look at him!" Taehyung says, "he's getting all flustered."

Hoseok looks down. "I like her... I like her a lot..."

"Then ask her out." His head shoots up to his manager.

Did.. he just give me permission?

Hoseok smiles widely. "Okay, maybe I will."
