Salanghae

Part 19

  I stood up, as I managed to wipe my tears.
I walked into the practice room, where Mina spent the most time in.
"Hey Mina, how would you like to become a new leader of this group?" I asked with my head down.
"What are you saying?!"
"Jun broke up with me today. He said that we hardly spend any time together, so I thought-..."
"Forget it, you're not quitting being a leader just because of that. It will only make things worse, and besides you are the best leader and the maknae this group could have asked for." Mina cut me off.
The tears began to drop down my cheeks.
My legs turned to jelly in a blink of an eye and I dropped to the floor.
"It hurts... I feel so alone right now."
"But you're not alone and you have to remember that, and as for Jun, I'll be sure to give him a piece of my mind." Mina sat down beside me and hugged me tightly. "Just cry it out."

(Time skip)
Suddenly, our manager came in. "The CEO has an offer for you all. Get all the members ready."
I instantly got up, and looked for the members.

When, we were all ready, the manager drove us all to the company.
When we all finally arrived, we walked inside to the top floor.
I opened the door.
No way! All the members of Seventeen were sat at the table.
"Come in. Take your sits." The CEO said.
We all walked inside and took our sits.
"Sins we're all here, please let me begin... I called you all here because I have an offer for all of you. A lot of fans requested this. We want you all to become a sub-group, which would go by the name TEEN:16. What's your answer?" The CEO asked.
"No Way!" Mina jumped up.
"Mina! Sit down." I pulled her down by the arm.
"I think we should do it!" Jun stood up.
"Yeah? After what you put Yuri through?" Mina shouted across the table.
"Everyone! Calm down. Let the leaders decide. Seungcheol, Yuri you two decide." CEO stood up.
"I think it would be a great opportunity for us." S.coups said.
"Yuri?" CEO and the others turned their attention to us.
"I agree with Seungcheol." I answered.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. You all, will meet up in Seventeen's dance studio tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. It'll be your responsibility to come up with some ideas of how both of your groups can work together. For now, you're dismissed." With that the CEO left the room.

(Next morning.)
We were all sitting in the dance studio, waiting for the Seventeen members to arrive.
"Yuri, can you come out for a second?" Joshua peeked through the door.
I stood up, and walked outside.
When I left the dance studio, there was Jun standing right in front of me.
At the sight of him, uncontrollable tears began to flow down my face.
"Yuri?" Jun looked at me with a sad expression on his face.
"How about, you guys go out and talk alone? We can fill you in on what we managed to get done, later." Joshua offered.
"Yeah, sure, let's do that. Yuri, what do you think about it?" Jun answered.
"No, sorry but for now I really want to be part of this project. Besides, we can always talk during the work." I lowered my head.
"You have a point. Let's do our best then." Jun answered.
We all, went inside.
"Wozzi, stood up first. "So, what do we want the song to be about?"
"I have an idea." I said quietly.
"You do? Come on tell us."
"I thought that we could concentrate on... On second thought, maybe not." I said lowering my head again.
"Okay, let's put this down. Obviously, if we want to come up with something successfully, we need to feel more confident around each other, so let's just talk and play games for the next two or three hours." Jun suggested.
"Yeah, let's do that!" All of the members agreed.
"Yuri, can we talk alone for a while?" Jun gazed right at me.
"I don't know. Can we talk later?" I asked.
"No, let's talk now." Jun protested.
"Okay, let's play a game to decide." Minmin said.
"What game?" I asked.
"Let's play 'rock, paper, scissors' only you two." Minmin gave us a cute smile.
"Sounds great!" Jun smiled. "Maybe I'll be able to have you back, Yuri." Jun went back to his usual self.
I couldn't respond. But I wasn't ready to go back to Jun.
"Okay, let's start." Minmin said happily.
For the first round I thrown scissors, but Jun thrown the rock.
"First point goes to Jun!" Minmin smiled.
For the second round I thrown the paper, and Jun thrown the rock again.
"Wow, it's a draw. It's time for the last deciding round!" Minmin smiled again
For the last round, I thrown the rock, and Jun thrown the paper, making me loose.
"We have a winner!"
Jun walked towards me, and rapped his hands tightly around me.
"Now you have no choice, you have to hear me out, okay?" Jun whispered.
Everyone in the room seemed to be cheering for us.
"Okay. I'll listen." I said as the tears began to flow down my cheeks.
"Don't cry." Jun took a small step back, and rested his hands on my shoulders, bending slightly, until his face was on the same level as mine. "I'm sorry for hurting you. Would you be able to forgive me?" Jun said, keeping the eye contact.
I kept quiet, the tears still flowing down my face.
"Yuri..." Jun lifted his hand and wiped my tears away. "Can you accept me as your boyfriend, again?" Jun asked with a gentle expression on his face.
I nodded.
Jun's face was filled with joy.
"What are you waiting for?" Kiss already." Vernon and Minmin shouted in perfect sync.
Jun looked at me, and rested his hand on my cheek, then he leaned in closer. "I love you Yuri, you know that, don't you?" He said that before kissing me.
