Day&Night (Wonho) COMPLETED

Forty Three

SeolHyun

I wake up slowly in the morning, feeling better than usual because I have actually eaten something and body has regained some of its strength. The way I get out of bed this morning is so different from other days. I actually feel happy for once ever since practicing for this comeback. 

I'm up before all the others, again. This is nothing new. I make some rice and soup for them. Even if we're losing weight, we should eat something at least. Wonho taught me that yesterday. Yesterday with him was more than anything I could've hoped for. 

"Unnie?" YeonA says while coming out of her room. She looks like she's seen a ghost. I go over to her and we both look at her phone. There is a picture of me leaning my head on the shoulder of a guy who is wearing a mouth mask and a hat. This can't be happening. At least they won't recognise Wonho. 

"Oh no", I breathe out while the others come out of their rooms. They all know already because the first thing they do when they wake up is check their social media. 

"They're even saying the guy is an idol... What will happen to Wonho when they find out?" YeonA almost cries out. I remember how much she likes Wonho as a part of Monsta X. 

"I need to call him and then the president..." I say while frantically looking for my phone. Wonho must know already, it can't be he doesn't. He doesn't pick up his phone so I try the president next. 

We have a very long conversation about what is going to happen to me for the time being and that he'll talk to Starship about this matter. Our Weekly Idol episode has already aired last week and it won't take long for people to find out who the mystery guy is. If you look closely, you can see Wonho's blue tips sticking out. Links will be made and Wonho will be indicated. 

The rest of the day we train, the debut is going on like we planned and we're even bringing out a statement later on. Telling the people that the company knew about it from the start and has no objections. They're actually going to support me in this. 

During training I fall multiple times, which is not something I do often. Everyone is worried about me, but they stand by me like a real team. I'm lucky to have them. I've said before, but I really mean it. 

It takes everything in me to not fall apart at the end of the day. I can't even go see him because it would just lead the reporters to him. Speaking of which, they're camping outside of the building, dying to get a glimpse of me. Trying to ask me who the guy is. And if we're going to go through with our comeback. Why are they so damn judgemental? Why do they need to know everything that goes on in my life? Or Wonho's? 

"SeolHyun! Who is the guy you are dating?! Is he an idol?" It starts again the second I come outside. They're like a horde of bees, zooming around you like they have business with you. The president ordered me to not talk to them at all. I should ignore them and just walk on. 

"Is it your friend and co-idol, Wonho from Monsta X?" It takes everything inside me to not turn around and scream at the damn reporter. I knew they would connect us and do this. He's already a suspect. My manager grabs me by the wrist and gets me through the crowd. He know that them mentioning Wonho might set me off. He gets me to the car and we take off. I'm so pissed by now I don't even try talking to anyone in the car. We're going to my dad's house for the time being since the dorms will be swamped with reporters too. Somehow they found out our address. 

My dad is waiting for me outside while I walk up to him. We have not come to that point where we can hug and be all family-like, but I do trust him. More than I trust my other parent, but that was not hard to do. We call from time to time, me and my dad, and we talk about trivial stuff. It makes me feel like there is at least one parent who actually cares.
