Full Moon (Sequel to Half Moon)

Chapter 5

Yein wondered why Mingyu never met her again nor contacted her ever since the day of the championship. She thought he must've been really upset because she unintentionally ditched him, but when she tries to make up for it he doesn't show up. Yein eventually stopped trying to make it up when she got busier with her schedules while Mingyu worked hard to debut. For a whole year, they focused on nothing else but their careers.

Only on the day Mingyu finally debuted did Yein hear about her friend again. She had watched his group's performances a couple of times when she waits for her HeMe (hair & makeup), or when they're on stand-by at the waiting room. She often only looked at Seungkwan and Mingyu and was proud, although she never got the chance to congratulate them. 

Yein doesn't really notice how Mingyu acts everytime she's around, but because his members were making a fuss about it, she's starting to notice. She was actually glad when their groups' promotional periods overlapped. She always wanted to say hi and congratulate them, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. However, Seungkwan was always a blessing.

"Yein-ah!" Seungkwan called as he approached Yein after their performance . 

"Seungkwan-ah!" she smiled widely, feeling very happy to see him again. Finally, they had the chance to talk.

"It's been a while."

"Yeah. Congratulations on your debut." Yein smiled and pat her friend's shoulder.

"Thanks. I actually can't believe we're already promoting our comeback song." he chuckled.

"Yes, it's very nice and catchy, too. I'm sure people love listening to it."

"Aigoo. Yours, too! Ah Choo~" Seungkwan imitated their dance and Yein giggled to it. "Speaking of it, do you know who else sneezes a lot these days?"

"Huh? Nugu?" Yein looked at him, a bit curious as to why he had asked.

Seungkwan led her to their waiting room and she followed him. Some of the boys greeted her as she passed by them outside the room. She was cautious of following him inside, but Seungkwan told her it was okay and she hesitantly came inside, only to find a small group boys on one corner.

"That doesn't make any sense, hyung!" Mingyu whined at Coups while he wiped his nose with the tissue that Wonwoo had handed him.

"Guys~ Look who I brought with me!" Seungkwan smiled from ear to ear. The lads looked his way and Yein definitely catched Mingyu's eyes. 

"Annyeong haseyo~" Yein greeted with a polite bow and a small, friendly smile.

"Annyeong!" DK grinned. 

"Oh, hey! Seungkwan must be showing you around." Coups grinned. "Nice to meet you. I'm S.Coups and this is DK."

"Nae. It was nice to finally talk to Seungkwan again." Yein responded.

"I might have not told you this, but Yein, Mingyu hyung and I were good friends in high school." said Seungkwan enthusiastically. 

"Ah, really? Mingyu and Yein? Then that must mean it would feel nice if they talked, too?" DK concluded and Coups kept grinning, glancing at the tallest. Mingyu looked at their faces and groaned. It was all set up.
