Episode 16: That Fuzzy Feeling

(AN: Happy belated birthdays to our talented and precious rapper Zuho and our fennec fox and precious vocal Inseong! Happy birthday🎉🎉🎂🎂 and I just want you guys to know that I will always support you guys, SF9, and any of your future adventures in life. Fighting!~💪🏼 )

Inseong's P.O.V.
Two days earlier, Inseong is out grocery shopping with the rest of SF9's Hyung Line (Youngbin, Jaeyoon, Dawon, and Rowoon) and SF9's manager John-nim. He decides upon calling Youngja and wants to meet up with her in order to confess his true feelings.

I waited at the other end of the checkout counter with Dawon and Rowoon. Waiting patiently for Youngbin, Jaeyoon, and Zuho to be done paying, I decided to call Youngja-ssi in order to meet up with her some time this afternoon to perhaps confess my true feelings to her. But is this bad? After all, I am an idol. I should be more focused on my career instead of dating someone. It's not like I actually want to dateYoungja-ssi, but it's not like I wouldn't mind if we actually did somehow end up dating either.

I wasn't lying when I told Chani and everyone else that I like Youngja-ssi. I'm not the type of person who would lie in the first place. It's strange though, I've only ever looked at Youngja-ssi as if she was my younger sister. Since her brother Minjun and I are childhood friends, I've basically watched her grow up in front of my very eyes. And now, I'm actually falling in love with her? Am I stupid?

Dialing Youngja-ssi's number on my cellphone, I waited patiently for her to answer my call. "Hello?" I heard Youngja-ssi's voice say on the other end of the line. I was probably not even noticing that I was smiling like crazy just by hearing her voice through my phone.

"Hello, is this Youngja-ssi? I have the right number, right?" I stated, my tone shaking out of obvious nervousness. I just hoped that she didn't know that I was nervous just talking to her.

Suddenly, Dawon blurted beside me, "Good luck, Hyung! Hey, Youngja-ssi, it is me Dawon!" I could hear Youngja-ssi laugh on the other end of the line as I quickly tried to shush him. She was probably laughing at the way Dawon had said the last part in English.

"Sorry about that. Youngja-ssi, I was wondering if we could meet up and talk even if it's just for a few minutes,"

"Umm... Well," Youngja-ssi stated, her voice hesitant. Suddenly, I heard a loud knocking noise in the background.

"Oh, I see..." I continued after releasing a sigh. "I must be worrying your brother. Maybe some other time?"

"Inseong-ssi, I'm sorry,"

"No, it's okay. I completely understand," I stated. Although I was indeed disappointed that we couldn't meet, I wanted to reassure her that I completely understood the fact that her brother might be shocked and concerned learning that a boy, let alone one of his childhood friends, had asked his younger sister to come out and meet him alone. And, he wouldn't like the fact that a now twenty-four year old man had confessed his love for his now nineteen year old younger sister either.

Deeply sighing, I shook my head at the sudden thought, the fantasizing daydream I had of Minjun giving me permission to date his younger sister and the company allowing me to date a younger girl. "Yo! Hyung?" Dawon stated as if he were asking a question. Initially distracted by Youngbin, Jaeyoon, and Zuho being done with paying the groceries and talking to him; he instead turned to face me. This had caused the other members of SF9's Hyung Line to also pay close attention to me, of which made me pretty uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?" asked Youngbin, placing the two plastic bags full of groceries down on the floor beside us. Turning to face me, he stared at me directly in the eyes, making me even more uncomfortable. "Is there something wrong?"
