Harder To Breathe (xviii)

"Yah! Kim Yerim! Stop it!"

"Blah! Blah! Blah!"

"Unnie! Look what's Yeri's doing!"

"HAHAHA!"

"Wendy unnie! Stop laughing too!"

"Sorry, I can't help it. You really looked like a chicken right now Sooyoung."

"See? Even Wendy unnie agreed!"

Red Velvet is going to Lyric Bank 10th anniversary today to perform for their award show and it's actually the first time they appeared as a whole group after weeks of missing in action.

The latest comeback promotion is over and because of the issue Red Velvet stayed low for the past few weeks and just doing individual activities. Good thing Seulgi's issue came when the promotion is almost over.

It will surely affect the group if it happened earlier.

"Where are you going Seulgi unnie?" Sooyoung asked Seulgi because it saw the monolid was about to go out of their assigned room.

"Washroom." Seulgi simply said.

Seulgi reminded herself to look lively today so she can't affect her members mood but looks like even that simple things. Seulgi can't even do it.

She sighed deeply and it almost reached a hundred times that she did it.

When on her way to the washroom she was greeted by her hoobae and sunbae whose passing by.

"Anyeonghaseyeo."

Seulgi keeps smiling every time she saw people coming at her. At least she can still smile genuinely and they still respect her after what happened.

She is about to open the bathroom door when it's suddenly opened revealing Park Jimin of BTS and just like a silent movie that always happened, no one word comes out for both of them.

No one dared to talk to anyone.

It was just silence.

Seulgi snaps from herself and continue to walk over to the washroom and ignoring Jimin.

She stepped right.

Jimin stepped left.

She stepped left and Jimin did the opposite and the result is they can't pass each other.

Seulgi stop and Jimin stop at the same time, it's like they were playing games.

Jimin did step once again and opening a space for Seulgi to enter the washroom.

It was so awkward.

Seulgi bowed to thank Jimin and Jimin did too to acknowledge it. 

Awkward air. It's so uncomfortable for Seulgi. She didn't know what to do.

The air is so thick and heavy, does she have to do something?

Seulgi met Jimin's eyes and he is looking intently at her. His eyes are always telling her something and she now wanted to know what it is but how and why?

What is it that Jimin want?

And why does she want to know?

"Jimin'ssi." Seulgi softly called his name. She doesn't know why she said it.

She saw him took a step back because of what he heard. That was Jimin's reaction.

He was frosted after hearing her saying his name but that's it, seconds past and his stare and his boyish grin that always plastered to his face vanished.

It is because of her? Seulgi wanted to ask but don't know how and why asking?

Why would she even ask him when his eyes become cold and has no emotions it in.

Like how it turned when Seulgi told him to pretend that nothing happened. It is just the same eyes that started all of it when they first talked at the park.

For the second time Seulgi wanted to call his name again but she was stopped by him.

It gave her goosebumps and this time with pain on it.

"Don't call my name that way as if we are friends." and after that Park Jimin left her.
