Should've Held Onto You (CHA EUNWOO)

24 - Juri

"You've gotta see this!" Sumi came running from the cafeteria, out of breath, to meet the seven of us out in the courtyard.

"Where have you been?" JinJin laughed at her disheveled state.

"Shut it!" Sumi barked, and JinJin only laughed harder. "You guys have to see this!"

Before I knew it, she was sitting next to me, throwing her phone in the middle of our circle.

Shrugging, I said, "So what? It's an article from that one Kpop news site."

Sumi began waving her hands frantically. "Read it!"

MJ took the phone, despite Sumi's glares, and began to read, "ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo performs with fellow student, has Fantagio found a new talent?"

Bin leaned into the phone, eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "What? How would they even find out about it, and, no offense, but why does this make the headline?"

"Is someone giving KpopInsight information?" Minhyuk asked, a serious look crossing his face.

Confused, I asked, "It's just about out project, right? That's not that big of a deal. Anyone of the students in that class could've told them. Or maybe someone's relative works there."

"But that's not all. There's a video," Sumi said darkly.

Dongmin shook his head, "Anyone in the class could've taken a vi-"

"No," Sumi frowned, "It's from the music room before musical auditions. School was out." She quickly brought up the video that was attached to the article. "Whoever it is, might be an inside source for KpopInsight, and now you're their main target.."

The video loaded, showing Dongmin and I seated at the school's piano. It was taken through the door's window, where we wouldn't have looked during the time we practiced.

"That's a little.." Sanha trailed off.

Nodding, JinJin finished, "..Creepy."

"C'mon, guys!" I stood up, grabbing my tray to go throw away my trash. "You seriously think there's someone practically stalking me to get information to give to some blog? You guys are just paranoid."

"Besides," Minhyuk added, "It's not like they wrote anything bad in the article." He shrugged, taking a bite of his apple.

"Exactly," I smiled at my friends, trying to reassure them.

Dongmin frowned. "It doesn't matter. I don't want Miyeong to have to deal with being in the spotlight, having to watch her every move to make sure she does nothing wrong. I'm sure no one here likes the idea of her privacy being invaded.."

"Us gaining attention shouldn't get in the way of your life," Bin added.

"It'll be fineee," I insisted. "If it gets worse, we'll figure something out. For now, let's enjoy the present!" I shot them a grin before going to throw away my food, though I noticed them all exchange worried glances.

At Fantagio after school, Bin was teaching me some dance moves. Everyone was just hanging out since they got out of practice early, and it was so nice to just hang out with friends without having to worry about anything.

"1, 2, 3, and 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8- really good!" Bin smiled widely, and we fist bumped.

"Aww yes!" I exclaimed. "I will work to surpass the master!"

"Did someone call my name?" Minhyuk gave a cheeky grin.

With a straight face, I looked at Bin then back at Minhyuk, "No, I don't think so. Bin?"
